2. OWNER INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR CENTRAL
FURNACE SYSTEM
NORDYNE has been involved in the design of
products for the manufactured home industry
since the first manufactured home or trailer was
built.
NORDYNE originated the sealed combustion
system, which separates the furnace combustion system from the living area of the home,
now a standard for the manufactured home
industry.
NORDYNE engineers developed the first central heating system and the first central air
conditioner for manufactured homes.
NORDYNE is dedicated to bringing to its customers the finest heating and cooling comfort
possible. NORDYNE constantly seeks to further refine its products to continuously provide

to 5/12.
d. Stainless steel roof jacks are available.
e. If the roof jack crown is covered or blocked
with snow, the furnace will not operate prop-
erly. If the home is located in regions where
snow accumulation exceeds 7” (HUD
snowload zones) use an external roof jack
extension p/n 901937.
f. M1 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.
Location, size, and number of registers should
be selected on the basis of best air distribution
and floor plan of the home.

ing with bottom tabs extending through the
duct opening. (See Figure 15)
b. Secure duct connector to floor.
c. Bend bottom tabs under and up tightly against
the supply air duct (See Figure 16).
NOTE: The duct connector is designed for use
on ducts 12" in width. When using the connector
on 12" wide ducts, there may be insufficient
clearance to bend the tabs on two sides of the
duct connector. In such cases the tabs may be
attached to the sides of the duct by using sheet
metal screws or other suitable fasteners. (See
Figure 17).
If sealant, mastic, or tape is used to provide a
better seal, it should be approved by applicable
national or local codes.
