GENERAL INFORMATION

These downflow sealed combustion furnaces install in
Manufactured Homes, Recreational Vehicles or modular
construction. The furnaces conform to Part 3280 (a) (2) of HUD
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards. They
must be installed only with listed RJ-Roof Jack, sealed
combustion venting system.

NOTE: These instructions are intended to assist qualified
individuals experienced in the installation of heating equipment.
Some state and local codes require installation personnel to be
licensed. Read all instructions before starting the installation.

SAVE THIS MANUAL

NOTICE - A furnace set-up and any adjustment needed is the

responsibility of the installer/retailer/contractor and is not
covered by the furnace manufacturers warranty.

CHECKLIST: FURNACE START-UP

1. Has furnace roof jack crown been correctly installed?

2. Has the furnace gas valve and burner orifice been correctly
converted to L.P. Gas where applicable?

3. Is the gas line outlet pressure set for the fuel used?
NAT Gas is 3.5” W.C. and L.P. Gas is 10.0”W.C.

4. If the home uses a crossover air connector duct, is it installed
per the homebuilders installation instruction?

5. Has the furnace been operated through a complete
heating cycle?

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FINAL PROCEDURE

INSTALL FURNACE DOOR PANELS

A. Install the lower door panel by engaging 2 tabs on
bottom cabinet pan into slots on plastic end cap. Then,
push in top of door panel until clips on the center divider
panel are engaged with latches on door.

B. Install the upper louver door panel in a similar manner,
by first engaging tabs on the center divider and then
pushing the panel in to engage the clips at top of the
cabinet.

FINISH AND TRIM

The alcove or closet installation may be finished and
trimmed out as needed.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

If an air conditioning system is installed which does not use
the blower for air distribution and operates completely
independent of the furnace, the thermostat system shall
include interlock, which prevents simultaneous operation of
the furnace and air conditioner. An interlock system
typically contains a switch, which must be turned to either
HEAT or COOL to activate either heating or cooling
operation. A cooling thermostat may include a positive OFF
switch for this purpose.

When used in connection with a cooling unit the furnace
shall be installed parallel with or on the upstream side of
the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heat
exchanger. For installations with a parallel flow
arrangement, the furnace must be equipped with a damper
or other means to prevent cold air from being discharged
up around the heat exchanger.

GAS VALVE CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Follow instructions “TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE”

2. Remove two bolts securing the gas valve bracket. Pull gas valve
valve bracket and burner orifice holder exposing the main burner orifice.

3. Install burner orifice specified on the rating plate for the desired gas.
Conversion parts are in a bag attached to the gas valve.

4. Replace valve, bracket/orifice holder, and bolts.
Attach ID tag for the desired gas adjacent to the gas valve.
Ensure that all connections are tight.

5. Unscrew and reverse the pressure regulating cap so the name of the
desired gas is closest to the valve. See illustration.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CUTTING ROOF JACK OPENING

A proper installation of the roof jack requires that openings
in roof and ceiling be on the same vertical centerline as the
furnace flue collar. See FIG. I

FIG. I - ROOF CUT-OUT

Mark the center point on the ceiling and scribe a 4” radius
(8” diameter) around this mark. If furnace is in place during
this step, cover the furnace and flue opening to prevent
debris from entering flue.

INSTALLING ROOF JACK

The roof jack body should be secured to the furnace before
the roof flashing is secured to the roof.

1. Insert roof jack body into opening in the roof.

2. From above, center the roof jack body aligning with
the furnace collar.

3. From inside the home, pull down 4-3/16” D flue
pipe seating the pipe fully and firmly over the
furnace flue collar.

4. Next pull down the 7” D combustion air pipe seating
it over the mating furnace collar. Rotate the
combustion air pipe lining up to the screw hole on the
7” furnace collar.

5. Check and make sure the combustion air pipe is fully
seated.

Then drive a #10 sheet metal screw attaching

pipe firmly to furnace collar.

6. Install optional ceiling trim ring, 90-TRM-RNG

7. On the roof, caulk liberally under the roof jack
flashing.

8. Drive nails or screws through the flashing onto the
roof surface about 1- 1 _ inches apart. Caulk again
to ensure a leak tight joint.

9. Install roof jack crown and fasten to roof jack body
with three (3) screws (provided) using pre-punched
holes.

INSTALLATION IN SNOW REGIONS

When the combustion air inlet to the roof jack is blocked
with snow, the furnace will not operate properly due to the
depleted combustion air supply.

Therefore, if the furnace will be located in regions where
snow accumulation on the roof exceeds 7” or in H.U.D.
Snow Load Zones, a roof jack extension- Par

t No. 90-

0UTXT16-AL- is recommended.

ROOF JACK ON HI-PITCH ROOF

To install the RJS (3/12) Series Roof Jack on roofs which
have a slope between 4.5/12 - 6/12, install a Par

t No.
90-RJS56 Roof Saddle, Fig. J. The combined assembly of
the RJS Roof Jack and Roof Saddle will conform to the
higher roof pitch. If roof pitch is greater than 6/12, field
fabricate a suitable adapter, or consult with factory.

FIG. J - 90-RJS56 ROOF SADDLE, HI PITCH ROOF

TRANSIT ROOF JACK - MODE

RJF and RJS Roof Jacks feature a removable top crown. The
crown is normally installed at the factory. If road clearance
for the home requires that vent caps or crowns remain
uninstalled for road clearance, a T

ransit Mode Kit, Part No.

90-RJTRC

is available. The kit, when used, allows for home
shipment with the crown shipped inside the home. The kit
includes a weather cap and four (4) warning tags.

FIG. K - 90-RJTRC TRANSIT MODE INSTALLATION

INSTALL TRANSIT ROOF JACK

AT MANUFACTURED HOME FACTORY

1. Roof Jack body (less crown) installed per instructions
in this manual.

2. Install weather cap from 90-RJTRC kit on RJF or RJS
upper body.

3. The 3 warning tags supplied must be attached

as

follows:

• To homes gas line connection point

• To furnace gas control valve

• To furnace wall thermostat

4. Upper crown, in original carton must be stored in a
prominent location inside the home until crown
installation is made at site location.

AT MANUFACTURED HOME SITE

5. The transit weather cap is removed and

6. 90-RJCRWN-AL crown installed per these instructions.
See FIG K. Make sure crown engages RJ-body pipes
above the roof and crown is secured with 3 sheet
metal screws.

7. Transit system warning tags are discarded.

CONNECT POWER SUPPLY

1. Remove the furnace control panel cover.

2. Insert 115 V wiring through a strain relief bushing on
the left side of the furnace.

3. Connect the HOT wire to the BLACK pigtail lead;
connect the NEUTRAL wire to the WHITE pigtail lead.
Secure the connections with suitable wire nuts and
wrap with electrical tape. Refer to Pgs. 11 thru 13 and
one of the following Fig’s L,M,N,O,P or Q to select the
proper wiring diagram for connections

4. Connect the GROUND wire to a grounding screw in
the control panel.

5. Reinstall and secure the control panel cover
with screws.

WALL THERMOSTAT

The location of the wall thermostat is important, as it must
sense the desired temperature of the entire conditioned
space. Choose a location 4-5 feet above the floor,
preferably on an inside wall in an area with good air
circulation. Stay away from lamps and air registers and do
not install behind a door. Choose a location where the
temperature will be reasonably representative of other living
areas the thermostat is controlling.

CONNECT THERMOSTAT WIRES

When installing a furnace with a cooling coil compartment,
use of a five-conductor thermostat cable is recommended.
This will allow easy installation of an air conditioning sys­tem at a later date.

1. Insert 24V wires through the small plastic bushing on
the left side of the furnace.

2. Connect low voltage wires to the color coded low
voltage pigtails at top of the control panel.

3. Connect low voltage wires to the wall thermostat.

NOTE: The use of 18-gauge wire is highly recommended to
carry the thermostat load. Use of smaller conductors risks
operational problems caused by loose or broken conductors
or wire that is too small to carry the load. Any such
problems are the responsibility of the installer.

With conductors smaller than 18 gauge, observe the

following guidelines.

Thermostat wire length

-furnace to thermostat- Thermostat wire gauge
0-45 feet 22
0-70 feet 20

GAS PIPING

Supply piping must be sized in accordance with
recommendations found in National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA-54. In addition materials used in manufactured
homes must comply with requirements contained in HUD
Title 24, Section 3280.705 as well as A119.1 and A119.2
for recreational vehicles.

See chart in this manual for minimum sizes for NAT and LP
pipe and tubing serving the fur

nace only.

NOTE: The gas inlet on the gas control valve is 1/2-14NPT.
The gas line may be installed through the bottom casing or
on left or right side of furnace.

WARNING

Any attempt to operate furnace before replacing
transit-mode Weather Cap with Roof Jack Crown
may result in hazard of fire, explosion or
asphyxiation.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death,
turn off the power at the disconnect or the main
service panel before making any electrical
connections.

GAS PRESSURE:

TYPE GAS INLET GAS PRESSURE

PRESSURE TO BURNER
NATURAL 7” W.C. 3-1/2” W.C.
PROPANE 11” W.C. 10” W.C.

OPERATION - Once system gas piping has been checked
for leaks, operate the furnace using the lighting instructions
on the front furnace panel, and:

1. Observe burner through viewport and make sure it
ignites. The color of the flame when operating on
natural gas will turn blue with yellow tips. On
Propane, a significantly yellow flame can be
expected. If flame is not the proper color call a
qualified service technician for service.

2. Let furnace operate until blower cycles on. This takes
about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

3. Turn thermostat down.

4. Observe burner to make sure it has shut off.

5. Let furnace cool and blower cycle off.

IF FURNACE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY:

1. Check setting on wall thermostat and the position of
the HEAT-COOL switch if air conditioning is installed.

2. Check to make sure that electrical power is ON at
the furnace and the furnace circuit breaker has not
tripped.

3. Make sure that filters are clean and return grills are
not obstructed. The supply registers should be open.

4. Be sure that the furnace flue and inlet piping has not
been obstructed and is open. If the cause for failure
is not obvious, do not attempt to service the furnace
yourself. Call a qualified service agency or the gas
supplier.

Take care when connecting the gas line to the furnace
gas valve. Use suitable wrenches to support the gas
valve when tightening fittings to prevent mis-alignment
of the attached burner orifice. Do not damage the
gas valve as improper heating, explosion, fire or
asphyxiation may result.

Do not use matches, lighters, candles or other open
flame to check for leaks. Use a soap or water solution
or a leak detector.

Do not pressure test the fuel system at more than 14”
W.C. pressure once furnace has been connected to
the gas line. Overpressure may void the warranty
and damage the valve which could cause an explo­sion, fire or asphyxiation.

WARNING

When converting gas control valve from or to
Propane gas, it will be necessary to change the main
burner orifice to prevent an underfired or overfired
condition. The pressure regulator on the gas control
valve must also be converted. See label on lower
furnace compartment for full instructions.

If the gas input to the furnace is too high due to
excessive gas pressure, wrong size burner orifice, no
orifice, high altitude, etc., the burner flame will be
sooty especially with Propane gas. This type of
furnace operation can produce carbon monoxide,
which could result in unsafe operation, explosion,
and/or fire and asphyxiation.

WARNING

Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to
shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace
and allow burner to run until furnace cools down and
blower shuts off before shutting off electrical supply.
