WARNING:
Do not allow combustion products to enter the
circulating air supply. Failure to prevent the
circulation of combustion products into the
living space can create potentially hazardous
conditions including carbon monoxide poison-
ing that could result in personal injury or death.
All return ductwork must be secured to
the furnace with sheet metal screws. For
installations in confi ned spaces, all return
ductwork must be adequately sealed. The joint
between the furnace and the return air plenum
must be air tight.
The surface that the furnace is mounted on must
provide sound physical support of the furnace
with no gaps, cracks or sagging between the
furnace and the fl oor or platform.
Return air and circulating air ductwork must
not be connected to any other heat producing
device such as a fi replace insert, stove, etc. This
may result in fi re, explosion, carbon monoxide
poisoning, personal injury, or property damage.
Return Air Connections
U.S.A. home manufacturers shall comply with all of the
following conditions to have acceptable return air systems
for closet installed forced air heating appliances:
• The return air opening into the closet shall not be less
than specifi ed in the appliance’s listing.
• The cross-sectional area of the return duct system
leading into the closet, when located in the fl oor or
ceiling shall not be less than 235 in2 (or 390 in2 for 5
ton ready M1/M5 Furnaces).
• Noncombustible pans having 1” upturned fl anges are

the furnace blower operating on high speed,
shall be no more negative than minus 0.05 inch
water column.
• Test the negative pressure in the closet with the aircirculating fan operating at high speed and the closet
closed. The negative pressure is to be no more negative
than minus 0.05 inch water column.
• Air conditioning systems may require more duct register
and open louver area to obtain necessary airfl ow. Use
NORDYNE’s certiduct program to determine proper
duct sizes for air conditioning.
Supply Air Connections
For proper air distribution, the supply duct system must be
designed so that the static pressure measured external
to the furnace does not exceed the listed static pressure
rating shown on the furnace rating plate.
Location, size, and number of registers should be selected
on the basis of best air distribution and fl oor plan of the
home. The supply air must be delivered to the heated
space by duct(s) secured to the furnace casing,
running full size and without interruption. Three typical
distribution systems are shown in Figure 5
HAZARD OF ASPHYXIATION: Do not cover or
restrict return air opening.
• Means shall be provided that prevent inadvertent closure
of fl at objects placed over the return air opening located
in the fl oor of the closet (versus the vertical front or side
wall).
• The total free area of openings in the fl oor or ceiling
registers serving the return air duct system must be at
least 235 in2. At least one register should be located
where it is not likely to be covered by carpeting, boxes
and other objects.
• Materials located in the return duct system must have a
fl ame spread classifi cation of 200 or less. This includes
a closet door if the furnace is in a closet.

• The furnace must be installed upstream from a
refrigeration system.
• The M1 Series gas and M5 Series oil furnace is
certifi ed for use on wood fl ooring or supports, but must
be installed on top of a duct connector. This factory
supplied accessory must be installed in the fl oor cavity
and attached to the supply air duct before the furnace
is installed.
Locating & Cutting Duct Openings
Floor cut-outs and fuel line holes must be carefully located
to avoid misalignment of the furnace, and vent piping. To
locate standard ducts see Figure 6 (page 9). For round
ducts, see Figure 7.
1. Measure 10” from the rear wall or alcove and mark the
centerline of the cut-out on the fl oor.
2. Using the centerline as a starting point, draw the rest
of the duct cut-out to the dimensions shown in Figures
6 or 7.
3. Cut out the fl oor opening 1/16” larger than the actual
cutout drawn. This will allow some clearance when
installing the duct connector.
4. Measure from the top of the fl oor down to the top of
the supply air duct to obtain the depth of the fl oor
cavity. NOTE: The depth of the fl oor cavity shown as
“X” in Figure 9 (page 9) will determine the correct duct
connector.
5. Determine which duct connector to use from Table 3
(page 9).
6. Measure and drill gas hole and cut out for cooling coil
(if applicable). See Figures 6 or 7.
Standard Duct Connector Installation
The standard duct connector is designed for use on ducts
12” in width. However ducts narrower than 12” may not
allow suffi cient clearances for this type of installation. For
an alternate installation method, see page 9.
1. Center the duct connector in the fl oor opening with
bottom tabs resting on top of the supply air duct.
2. Mark the cut-out area on the supply air duct by tracing
around the connector tabs (Figure 8, page 9) of the
duct connector.
3. Remove the duct connector and cut out the marked
area of the supply air duct 1/4” larger the actual cutout
drawn.
4. Install the duct connector back in the fl oor opening with
the bottom tabs extending into the supply air duct.
5. Install the mounting plate (Figure 8) under the back
side of the duct connector. Align the screw holes in
both components.
6. Secure the duct connector and the mounting plate to
the wood fl oor with appropriate size screws.
7. Bend the connector tabs on the bottom of the duct
connector upwards and as tight as possible against
the supply air duct.
8. Bend both tabs up 90° on the mounting plate. See
Figure 10 (page 10)
9. Seal all connections with industrial grade sealing tape
or liquid sealant.
NOTE: Requirements for sealing ductwork vary
from region to region. Consult with local codes for

Installing the Furnace
Sides and back of the furnace may be enclosed by wall
framing such as in a closet or alcove. The dimensions of the
room or alcove must be able to accommodate the overall
size of the furnace and the installation clearances outlined
on page 5 and Figures 1 - 4 (page 6). The furnace shall
be appropriately connected to the supply and return air
distribution system as shown in Figures 14 & 15 (page 11).

ROOF JACK INSTALLATION
Required ceiling and roof cut-out openings must be
carefully located to avoid misalignment of the furnace
and Roof Jack. NOTE: Install only Roof Jack Assemblies
listed in Table 4 on this heating appliance.
Roof Jack Selection
1. Determine depth of ceiling cavity from center of roof
opening to center of ceiling opening (Dimension [A] in
Figure 16).
2. Determine ceiling height and subtract height of furnace
(Dimension [B] in Figure 16).
3. Add dimensions [A] + [B] (and [X] from Table 5 & Figure
16, page 12 if slant deck fl ashing is used). The total
length of [A] + [B] + [X] must be within the minimum
and maximum range of the Roof Jack listed in Table 4.

Application Notes
• FAW, FAWT, SAW and SAWT Series Roof Jacks with a
5” diameter inner vent pipe may be used with all models
of M1 Series gas and M5 Series oil furnaces.
F = Flat Flashing: fl exes from 0/12 to 1/12 roof slope.
See Figure 17 (page 12).
S = Slant Flashing: 2.5/12 Slope fl exes from 1/12 to
4/12 roof slope, 4/12 fl exes from 3/12 to 5/12.
See Figure 18.
• Stainless steel roof jacks are available.
• M1/M5 furnaces may be used with roof jacks as tall as
170” (except M1M 056 & M1B 066 models, which are
limited to 120”). An internal roof jack extension (p/n
901935 - 10”, p/n 903107 - 18”) can be used to increase
roof jack height. All connections inside the home must
be made below the ceiling.
• This furnace must never be connected to a chimney
fl ue servicing a fi replace or other appliance designed
to burn solid fuel.
NOTE: If the roof jack crown is covered or blocked
with snow, the furnace will not operate properly. If the
home is located in regions where snow accumulation
exceeds 7” (HUD snowload zones) use an external roof
jack extension (p/n 901937). Extensions are optional
accessories and may be purchased through your
NORDYNE distributor.
