Location
The furnace must be installed on a level surface,
and as close to the center of the air distribution
system as possible. See Table 3 for overall
dimensions to determine the required clearances in hallways, doorways, stairs, etc. to allow
the furnace to be moved to the installation point.
The furnace must be installed so that all electrical components are protected from water.
Minimum clearances to combustible materials
are listed in Table 4. Access for positioning and
servicing must be considered when locating the
unit. 24 inches is the minimum required clearance for servicing the unit. 30 inches is the
minimum required clearance for positioning the
unit. 36 inches is the recommended clearance
from the front of the unit. Please note that a
panel or door can be located such that the
minimum clearance on the rating plate is satisfied, but that panel or door must be removable
and allow the appropriate clearance for your
installation.
This furnace is certified for use on wood flooring.
The furnace must be installed on a solid surface
and must be level front to back and side to side.
This furnace must not be installed directly on
carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other
than wood flooring.
DOWNFLOW WARNING
(G6RL Models):
The design of the downflow furnace is certified
for natural or propane gas and for installation on
non-combustible flooring. A special combustible floor sub-base is required when installing
on a combustible floor. Failure to install the subbase may result in fire, property damage and
personal injury. The special downflow sub-bases
are factory supplied accessories, part numbers
902677 and 902974. When the furnace is installed on a factory or site-built cased air conditioning coil, the sub-base is not necessary.
However, the plenum attached to the coil casing
must be installed such that its surfaces are at
least 1" from combustible construction.
A gas-fired furnace installed in a residential
garage must be installed so that the bottom of
the furnace is located a minimum of 15" from the
floor. The furnace must be located or protected
to avoid physical damage by vehicles.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS
The G6RC model furnaces are approved for
horizontal installation. Installation Kit #903568
is required for horizontal applications. Follow
the installation instructions in the kit for proper
conversion. NOTE: The G6RD and G6RL models are NOT approved for horizontal installation.
SUPPLY AIR PLENUM INSTALLATION
A. Installation on a concrete slab - G6RL
1. Construct a hole in the floor per the
dimensions in Figure 3.
2. Place the plenum and the furnace as
shown in Figure 4.
B. Installation on a combustible floor - G6RL
1. Cut and frame the hole in the floor per
the dimensions in Figure 5.
2. Place the sub-base for combustible floors
over the hole with its duct collar extended
downward. Attach the supply air plenum to
the base in a manner which will ensure 1"
clearance to the flooring or other combustible
material. Place furnace on the combustible
base as shown in Figure 6.
3. When the furnace is installed on a factory
or site-built cased air conditioning coil,
the sub-base is not necessary. However,
the plenum attached to the coil casing
must be installed such that its surfaces
are at least 1" from combustible material.

CIRCULATING AIR SUPPLY
Plenums and air ducts must be installed in
accordance with the Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems
(NFPA No. 90A) or the Standard for the Installation of Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning
Systems (NFPA No. 90B).

If outside air is utilized as return air to the furnace
for ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the
system must be designed so that the return air to
the furnace is not less than 50°F (10°C) during
heating operation. If a combination of indoor and
outdoor air is used, the ducts and damper system
must be designed so that the return air supply to
the furnace is equal to the return air supply under
normal, indoor return air applications.
When a cooling system is installed which uses
the furnace blower to provide airflow over the
indoor coil, the coil must be installed downstream (on the outlet side) or in parallel with the
furnace.
If a cooling system is installed in parallel with the
furnace, a damper must be installed to prevent
chilled air from entering the furnace and condensing on the heat exchanger. If a manually
operated damper is installed, it must be designed so that operation of the furnace is prevented when the damper is in the cooling position and operation of the cooling system is
prevented when the damper is in the heating
position.

WARNING:
Products of combustion must not be
allowed to enter the return air ductwork
or the circulating air supply. Failure to
prevent products of combustion from
being circulated into the living space
can create potentially hazardous conditions including carbon monoxide
poisoning that could result in personal injury or death.
All return ductwork must be adequately sealed, all joints must be
taped, and the ductwork must be
secured to the furnace with sheet metal
screws. When return air is provided
through the bottom of the furnace, the
joint between the furnace and the return air plenum must be sealed.
The floor or platform on which the
furnace is mounted must provide
sound physical support of the furnace
with no gaps, cracks, or sagging between the furnace and the floor or
platform.
Return air and circulating air ductwork
must not be connected to any other
heat producing device such as a fireplace insert, stove, etc.
An important consideration in selecting one or
two pipe installation is the quality of the combustion air. Indoor air is sometimes contaminated
with various household chemicals which can
cause severe corrosion in the furnace combustion system. Some common sources of these
chemicals are detergents, bleaches, aerosol
sprays, and cleaning solvents. Unless indoor air
is known to be free of these materials, two pipe
installation is recommended.
Provisions must be made for adequate supply of
air for combustion and ventilation. For United
States installations, the adequacy of air provisions can be determined by consulting the current version of the National Fuel Gas Code
(ANSI Z223.1/NPFA-54). For Canadian installations, requirements are specified in the National
Standard of Canada (CAN/CGA B149.1 & .2).
Consult local codes for special requirements.
NOTE: If the furnace is operated without adequate air for combustion and ventilation, it may
not perform properly. Furnace components may
be strained by high temperature and could fail
prematurely.
!
WARNING:
Furnace installation using methods
other than those described in the following sections must comply with the
National Fuel Gas Code and all applicable local codes to provide sufficient
combustion air for the furnace.
Return Air
The return air ductwork may be connected to
any or all of the following: left side return, right
side return, or bottom return. Tables 1 and 2
show the airflow data for each furnace model.
Where maximum airflow is 1800 CFM or
more two openings must be used.
VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR
REQUIREMENTS
NORDYNE condensing furnaces may be installed with outdoor combustion air piped directly to the furnace, or without such special
piping. Codes refer to the former as "direct vent"
or "two pipe" installation. Installation with air
taken from around the furnace is sometimes
referred to as "one pipe" installation - i.e. only
the vent (exhaust) pipe is provided.
