DOWNFLOW WARNING
(*RL Models):
The design of the downfl ow furnace is certifi ed
for natural or propane gas and for installation on
non-combustible fl ooring. A special combustible
fl oor sub-base is required when installing on a
combustible fl oor. Failure to install the sub-base
may result in fi re, property damage and personal
injury. The special downfl ow sub-bases are factory supplied accessories, part number 902974,
902677, 904108 and 904165. Part #904108 is
an adjustable sub-base kit and it can be used on
all cabinet sizes. 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-fi red furnace installed in a residential garage must be installed so that the burners and the
ignition source are located a minimum of 18” from
the fl oor. The furnace must be located or protected
to avoid physical damage by vehicles.
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. Twenty four inches is the minimum required
clearance for servicing the unit. Thirty inches is
the minimum required clearance for positioning
the unit. Thirty six 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 satisfi ed, but that panel or door must be removable
and allow the appropriate clearance for your
installation.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS
The upfl ow model furnaces are approved for
horizontal installation. Installation Kit #903568
is available for horizontal applications. The
parts may also be fi eld supplied. NOTE: Downfl ow models are NOT approved for horizontal
installation.
!
CAUTION:
Damage to the product resulting
from failure to follow instructions or
use of unauthorized parts may void
the manufacturer’s product warranty
coverage.
The 90+ upfl ow furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic, basement, crawl space or
alcove. This furnace can be installed horizontally
to the clearances listed in Table 4 on a platform
or on the ceiling rafters. Note that the platform
and the ceiling rafters must be able to support
the weight of the furnace being installed. It can
also be suspended from a ceiling in a basement
or utility room in either a right to left airfl ow or
left to right airfl ow.
When installed horizontally, the furnace must
be raised above the surface to allow a drain
trap to hang vertically below the furnace. This
will allow for proper drainage of the condensate
from the furnace.
Conversion of the 90+ Upfl ow Furnace for a
Horizontal Right Installation.
1. Remove the hard “J” tube drain trap assembly.
2. Place the 5/8” cap plug over the drain
tap in the header box from which the “J”
drain trap assembly was removed.
3. Remove the piece of soft tubing running

on the corresponding pressure tap on the
opposite side of the header box.
Conversion of the 90+ Upfl ow Furnace for a
Horizontal Left Installation.
Refer to Figure 4 for details and description
of parts required for the horizontal left conversion.
1. Remove the hard “J” tube drain trap assembly.
2. Ensure that the piece of soft tubing running from the in-line drain assembly to
the header box is in place with the drain
oriented downwards (See Figure 4).
3. Connect a draw trap to the right side of
the header on the furnace. The drain
trap must be installed according to local
code. NOTE: A downward slope must
be maintained on the tube as it is routed
through the furnace (when the furnace
is in the horizontal position).
11
NOTE: To avoid condensate freezing in the drain
trap assembly and tubing, insulate around
the drain trap assembly and all tubing located
in unconditioned space.
When a cooling system is installed which uses the
furnace blower to provide airfl ow over the indoor
coil, the coil must be installed downstream (on the
outlet side) or in parallel with the furnace.
NOTE: When converting the furnace, to horizontal
left, ensure that the drainage port on the in-line
drain assembly is downward as shown in Figure
4. If the in-line drain assembly is not rotated, then
the furnace may not drain properly.
SUPPLY AIR PLENUM INSTALLATION
A. Installation on a concrete slab - *RL
1. Construct a hole in the fl oor per the
dimensions in Figure 5.
2. Place the plenum and the furnace as
shown in Figure 6.
B. Installation on a combustible fl oor - *RL
1. Cut hole and frame the hole per the
dimensions in Figure 7.
2. Place sub-base for combustible fl oors
over the hole with its duct collar extended
downward. Attach the supply air plenum
to the base in a manner which will assure 1” clearance to the fl ooring or other
combustible material. Place furnace
on the combutsible base as shown in
Figure 8.
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 in Figure 9.
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 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 secured
to the furnace with sheet metal screws.
For installations in confi ned spaces,
all return ductwork must be adequately
sealed and joints must be taped. 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 fl oor 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 fl oor or platform.
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.
12
Return air and circulating air ductwork
must not be connected to any other
heat producing device such as a fi replace insert, stove, etc.
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 airfl ow data for each furnace model. Where
maximum airfl ow 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 where only the vent (exhaust)
pipe is provided.
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 specifi ed in the National
Standard of Canada (CAN/CGA B149.1 & .2).
Consult local codes for special requirements.
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.
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 .
!
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 suffi cient
combustion air for the furnace.

Combustion Air Quality
The recommended source of combustion air is
to use the outdoor air supply. However, the use
of indoor air in most applications is acceptable
except as follows:
1. If the furnace is installed in a confi ned
space it is recommended that the necessary
combustion air come from the outdoors by
way of attic, crawl space, air duct, or direct
opening.
2. If outdoor combustion air is used, there
must be no exposure to the installations or
substances listed in Item 3 below.
3. The following types of installation may require Outdoor Air for combustion, due to
chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
• Furnaces installed in hobby or craft
rooms
• Furnaces installed near chemical storage
areas
Exposure to the following substances in
the combustion air supply may also require
Outdoor Air for combustion:
• Permanent wave solutions
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
• Chlorine based swimming pool chemi-
cals
• Water softening chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes,
etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
• Masonry acid washing materials
Air Requirements For One-Pipe
Installation
When air for combustion is to be taken from
around the furnace, a protective screen must be
installed over the combustion air intake opening.
This screen is provided with the furnace installation instructions and functions to prevent debris
from entering the combustion system. It should
be installed on the combustion air intake collar
or inlet PVC. If furnace location is such that this
opening might be unintentionally obstructed, a 3”
PVC elbow must be installed on the collar, and
the screen placed inside the inlet of the elbow.
See Figure 10.
Installation In An Unconfi ned
Space
!
CAUTION:
“Tight” buildings (with weather stripping and caulk to reduce infi ltration),
may require special provisions for
introduction of outside air to ensure
satisfactory combustion and venting,
even though the furnace is located in
an unconfi ned space.
An unconfi ned space is an area including all
rooms not separated by doors with a volume
greater than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of the
combined input rates of all appliances which
draw combustion air from that space. For example, a space including a water heater rated
at 45,000 Btuh and a furnace rated at 75,000
Btuh requires a volume of 6,000 cubic feet [50 x
(45 + 75) = 6,000] to be considered unconfi ned.
If the space has an 8 foot ceiling, the fl oor area
of the space must be 750 square feet (6,000
/ 8 = 750). In general, a furnace installed in an
unconfi ned space will not require outside air for
combustion.
!
WARNING:
Furnaces installed with combustion
air drawn from a heated space which
includes exhaust fans, fi replaces, or
other devices that may produce a negative pressure should be considered
confi ned space installations.
Installation In A Confi ned Space
A confi ned space is one which does not meet
the unconfi ned space volume requirements, and
typically involves installation in a small room. All
such installations must have specifi c provisions
for introduction of combustion and ventilation air.
Codes require that two openings be provided for
this - one with bottom edge within 12” of the fl oor
and one with top edge within 12” of the ceiling.
16
The size and other criteria for these openings
must be per the following sections.
!
CAUTION:
Combustion air openings must not be restricted
in any manner.
Furnaces installed in a confi ned space which
supply circulating air to areas outside of the
space must draw return air from outside the
space and must have return air ducts tightly
sealed to the furnace.
Air From Inside
Air for combustion and ventilation may be taken
from inside the building through an interior wall if
the building is not “tight” and if the total volume
of the furnace space and the space from which
air is drawn meets the volume requirements for
an unconfi ned space. In such cases, the two
openings in the wall must each have free area of
at least one square inch per 1000 Btuh of total
appliance input, but not less than 100 square
inches of free area. See Figure 11. For example,
if the combined input rate of all appliances is less
than or equal to 100,000 Btuh, each opening must
have a free area of at least 100 square inches.
If the combined input rate of all appliances is
120,000 Btuh, each opening must have a free
area of at least 120 square inches.
Air Directly Through An Exterior Wall
If combustion air is provided directly through an
exterior wall, the two openings must each have
free area of at least one square inch per 4000
Btuh of total appliance input. (See Figure 12.)
Outdoor Air Through Vertical Openings or
Ducts
If combustion air is provided through vertical ducts
or openings to attics or crawl spaces, the two
openings must each have free area of at least
one square inch per 4000 Btuh of total appliance
input. Ducts must have cross-sectional areas at
least as large as the free area of their respective
openings to the furnace space. Attics or crawl
spaces must communicate freely with the outdoors if they are the source of air for combustion
and ventilation. (See Figures 13 and 14.)
Do not supply combustion air from an
attic space that is equipped with power
ventilation or any other device that may
produce a negative pressure.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
This section specifi es installation requirements
for vent and “2-pipe” combustion air piping. For
“one pipe” installations, install vent piping per
this section and provide air for combustion and
ventilation per the previous section. The capacity
table provided in this section applies to the total
of vent and combustion air piping for either type
of installation.
NORDYNE condensing furnaces are classifi ed as
“Category IV” appliances, which require special
venting materials and installation procedures.
Category IV appliances operate with positive
vent pressure and therefore require vent systems
which are thoroughly sealed. They also produce
combustion condensate, which is slightly acidic
and can cause severe corrosion of ordinary venting materials. Furnace operation can be adversely
affected by restrictive vent and combustion air
piping. Therefore, vent and combustion air piping
lengths must conform completely to the requirements of Table 5.
The furnace must be vented to the outdoors. It
must not be vented in common with any other
appliance, even if that appliance is of the condensing type. Common venting can result in severe
corrosion of other appliances or their venting and
can allow combustion gases to escape through
such appliances or vents. Do not vent the furnace
to a fi replace chimney or building chase.
!
WARNING:
FURNACE MUST NOT BE COMMON
VENTED WITH OTHER APPLIANCES.
Outdoor Air Through Horizontal
Openings or Ducts
If combustion air is taken from outdoors through
horizontal ducts, the openings must each have
free area of at least one square inch per 2000
Btuh of total appliance input. Ducts must have
cross-sectional area at least as large as the free
area of their respective openings to the furnace
space. (See Figure 15.)
Horizontal Installations
In order to ensure complete drainage of all
condensate, an additional “T” drain assembly
may be installed in line with the vent piping (see
Figures 3 & 4). The “T” assembly may consist
of a 2” PVC tee with a 2’ to 1/2” PVC reducer
bushing , and a barb fi tting. These parts are
available in Horizontal Vent Kit 903568, or they
can be fi eld supplied.
17
!
WARNING:
CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING HAZARD
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system
2. Inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch, as required
in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 or the CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes and these instructions.
Determine that there is no blockage
or restriction, leakage, corrosion and
other defi ciencies which could cause
an unsafe condition.
3. So far as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors
between the space in which the
appliance(s) connected to the venting
system are located and other spaces
of the building.
4. Follow the lighting instructions. Place
the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance
shall operate continuously.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any other
appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans,
such as range hoods and bathroom
exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan.
6. Close fi replace dampers.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood
equipped appliance at the draft hood
relief opening after 5 minutes of main
burner operation. Use the fl ame of a
match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during
any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Codes.
9. After it has been determined that each
appliance connected to the venting
system properly vents when tested as
outlined above, return doors, windows,
exhaust fans, fi replace dampers and
any other gas burning appliance to
their previous conditions of use.
Vent Pipe Material
Vent and combustion air pipe and fi ttings must be
one of the following materials and must conform
to the indicated ANSI/ASTM standards:
*In Canada, check the local codes to ensure that
SDR is approved for use. SDR is not approved
for all Canadian installations.
Cement and primer must conform to ATSM
Standard D2564 for PVC and Standard D2235
for ABS. When joining PVC piping to ABS, use
PVC solvent cement. (See procedure specifi ed
in ASTM Standard D3138.)
Vent Pipe Length and Diameter
In order for the furnace to operate properly,
the combustion air and vent piping must not be
excessively restrictive. To ensure this use Table
5, which indicates the maximum allowable piping length for a furnace of specifi ed input rate,
when installed with piping of selected diameter
and number of elbows. This table applies to the
length and number of elbows for each pipe. To
use the table, the furnace input rate, the centerline length and the number of elbows on each
pipe must be known. Choose the diameter for
which the tabulated length is equal to or greater
than required.
Proper use of the table is illustrated by the following example:
Example:
An 80,000 Btu/h furnace is to be installed in a
“one-pipe” system with 40 feet of vent piping.
There are a total of four long radius 90-degree
elbows used in the vent, including the one exterior
to the building.
Solution:
For this particular installation, the equivalent vent
length must be calculated. This equivalent vent
length will then be compared to the maximum
allowable vent length given in Table 5. Then, the
diameter of the piping can be chosen for which the

equivalent vent length is less than the maximum
allowable vent length. Returning to our example,
we consult Table 5 and determine that for an
80,000 Btu/h furnace the maximum vent length
for 2” diameter piping is 60 feet or for 3” diameter
piping is 150 feet. Note that the maximum vent
length given in Table 5 includes one long radius
elbow. Therefore, for our example, we have three
additional long radius elbows for which we must
add to our piping. Each long radius elbow is
equivalent to 2.5 feet, so we must add 7.5 feet
to our vent length. Therefore, the equivalent vent
length for our installation is 47.5 feet. We compare
this with the maximum vent length for 2” and 3”
diameter piping. For both cases, our equivalent
vent length is less than the maximum allowable
vent length, so for our “one-pipe” installation we
can use either 2” or 3” diameter piping.
Condensing furnace combustion products have
very little buoyancy, so Table 5 is to be used
without consideration of any vertical rise in the
piping.
NOTE: Always use the same or larger size
piping for combustion air as is used for the
exhaust vent.
Vent Pipe Installation
Pipe Routing and Support
Route piping as directly as possible between
the furnace and the outdoors and remember
that routing affects pipe size requirements per
the preceding section. If a two pipe system is
used, locate the combustion air intake and the
vent exhaust in the same atmospheric pressure
zone - i.e. both must exit the building though the
same portion of exterior wall or roof (See Figure
22). Vent piping must be sloped upwards not
less than 1/4” per foot in the direction from the
furnace to the terminal. This is to ensure that
any condensate fl ows back to the furnace (where
it can be disposed of through the condensate
disposal system).
The quality of outdoor air must also be considered. Be sure that the combustion air intake is
not located near a source of solvent fumes or
other chemicals which can cause corrosion of
the furnace combustion system.
!
CAUTION:
Piping must be mechanically supported so that
its weight does not bear on the furnace. Supports must be at intervals no greater than fi ve
feet, and at smaller intervals if necessary to
ensure that there are no sagging sections to
trap water. (See Figure 16.) It is recommended
to install couplings along the vent pipe, on either
side of the exterior wall. These couplings may
be required by local code.
Figure 18 illustrates vent and combustion air pipe
sizes exiting the furnace. Transition to the correct
pipe size must be done close to the furnace so
that the full length of pipe is of proper size.
Straight neoprene couplings are supplied with
the downfl ow furnaces only. These couplings
are to be installed in the combustion air inlet (if
present) and exhaust vent piping at the furnace
as shown in Figures 16. For an upfl ow furnace
installation, if breakable connections are required
in the combustion air inlet (if present) and exhaust
vent piping, then straight neoprene couplings for
2” or 3” piping with hose clamps can be used.
These couplings can be ordered through your
local furnace distributor.
To install a coupling, slide the rubber coupling
over the end of the pipe that is attached to the
furnace and secure it with one of the hose clamps.
Then slide the other end of the rubber coupling
onto the other pipe from the vent and secure the
coupling with the second hose clamp. Ensure that
the connection is tight and leak free.
NORDYNE condensing furnaces have been certifi ed for installation with zero clearance between
vent piping and combustible surfaces. However,
it is good practice to allow space for convenience
in installation and service.
Location of Outdoor Terminations
Horizontal Venting
Vent and combustion air intake terminations
must be as shown in Figure 19 and 20. Vent
termination clearances shall be consistent with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 2223.1/NFPA
54 and/or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code.
All minimum clearances specifi ed must be
maintained to protect building materials from
degradation by fl ue gases.
Combustion air must not be drawn
from a corrosive atmosphere.

WARNING:
Ensure that the combustion air vent
and the exhaust vent are confi gured as
shown in Figure 19 and 20. Improper
vent termination can cause recirculation of the fl ue gases. This may
result in furnace vibration. In severe
cases, the furnace will cycle due to
the intermittent contact between the
fl ame and the fl ame sensor. If you
note oscillations occurring, check the
vent confi guration. Make sure that
the exhaust vent does not have a 90
degree termination.
Vent and combustion air intake terminations must
be located to ensure proper furnace operation
and to conform to applicable codes. Figure 19
and 20 illustrates necessary distances from the
vent termination to windows and building air intakes. In Canada, the Canadian Fuel Gas Code
takes precedence over these instructions.
Specifi cally, all minimum distance requirements with respect to termination of the vent
piping listed below (items 1 through 8).
These distances apply ONLY to U.S. installations. In Canada, the Canadian Fuel Gas
Code takes precedence.
7. Avoid areas where condensate drainage
may cause problems by dropping on planters or patios, etc. Also ensure that exhaust
gases will not impinge on windows or building surfaces, which may be compromised or
damaged by condensation. Do not install the
vent terminal such that exhaust is directed
into window wells, stairwells, under decks
or into alcoves or similar recessed areas,
and do not terminate above any public
walkways.
8. Select the point of wall penetration where
the minimum 1/4 inch per foot of slope up
can be maintained.
!
CAUTION:
For optimum performance, vent furnace through wall which experiences
the least exposure to winter winds.
For Canadian installations please refer to the
Canadian Installation Code (CAN/CGA-B149.1
or 2) and/or local codes.
The following list is a summary of vent terminal
location requirements:
1. The termination must be 12 inches above
snow level or grade level whichever is
higher. See Figure 18 for alternate method
to achieve 12” above snow level.
2. The minimum distance for a (1-pipe installation) from any door, (openable) window, or
gravity air inlet is 4 ft. below, 4 ft. horizontally,
or 1 ft. above.
3. The minimum distance for a direct vent (2pipe) installation from any door, (openable)
window, or air gravity inlet is 1 ft. below, 1
ft. horizontally, or 1 ft. above.
4. For one-pipe installations the recommended
minimum distance from an inside corner
formed by two exterior walls is 6 feet, but
is not required.
5. The vent termination for a 1-pipe installation
shall be a minimum of 3 ft. above any forced
air inlet within 10 ft.
6. The vent termination shall be located at least
3 ft. horizontally from any electric meter, gas
meter, regulator and any relief equipment
in accordance to ANSI 2223.1/NFPA S4.
The horizontal venting kits consist of two face
plates and an insulating gasket to seal the exterior
surface. A hole sized closely to the pipe diameter
must fi rst be cut through the wall. A short length
of pipe is then cut such that it can penetrate
the wall and be held in place by closely fi tting
standard couplings. The face plates are retained
on both sides of the wall by the couplings, and
the gasket is retained against the wall by the
outer face plate. Face plates must be fastened
to the wall and the outside one must be fl ashed
as appropriate to prevent entry of water.
When the horizontal kits are not used, the following steps are required:
1. Check the hole size cut through the exterior
wall. Insure that the hole diameter is less
than the diameter of the couplings to be
used.
2. Extend the vent pipe through the wall approximately 1” and seal the area between
the wall and pipe.
3. If required by local code, apply couplings
to the vent pipe on the interior and exterior
sides of the wall to insure the pipe can not
be pushed or pulled through the wall.

below freezing, i.e., when it passes through
unheated spaces, chimneys, etc., the pipe
must be insulated with 1/2 inch thick sponge
rubber insulation, Armafl ex-type insulation or
equivalent. Insulating pipe is important to avoid
condensate icing.
For extremely cold climates or for conditions of
short furnace cycles (i.e. set back thermostat
conditions) the last three feet of vent pipe can be
reduced one nominal pipe size provided that the
total vent length is at least 15 feet in length and
the vent is sized in accordance with the venting
requirements (Table 5) before this reduction is
applied. (Example: 3” to 2-1/2” or 2” to 1-1/2”)
Smaller vent pipes are less susceptible to freezing, but must not be excessively restrictive.

maintains a downward slope from the unit to the
drain. Refer to Figure 24 for more details.
For a right side drain simply extend the tubing out
of the 7/8” hole in the cabinet, see Figure 21. For
a left side drain follow the steps below:
1. Loosen the clamp on the soft exit tube (see
Figure 24.)
3. Re-tighten the clamp. MAKE SURE CLAMP
IS TIGHT TO AVOID LEAKAGE OF CONDENSATE.
4. Route the tubing out of the 7/8” hole located
8 inches up from the bottom furnace.
The condensate should drain from the plastic
collector box (location A in Figure 24) as droplets
or a small stream. If you notice the furnace has
operated for more than 5 minutes without draining or the red status light on the control board is
pulsing a 2-blink code follow the steps below.
NOTE: The condensate drain should be protected
from freezing when in unheated spaces.
The condensate drainage system is internal to
the furnace. It is not recommended to connect
additional traps to the exterior of the furnace. Doing so will have adverse effects on the operation
of the furnace. The drain may exit either the right
or left side of the furnace cabinet.
1. Remove the collector box soft tube at location A in Figure 24 and insure the exit from
the collector box is clear of any debris or
obstructions.
2. Replace this tube and insure the fi t to the
header spout is air tight. Air will be drawn into
the header if this connection is not tight.
3. Check other tube connections along the
drain system. Insure that all are air tight.
The condensate drain can be routed to a fl ow drain
or to a condensate pump. Ensure that the drain

NOTE: Industry research studies indicate that
when condensate is routed to an active drain,
household detergents, etc., buffer its acidity. If
the drain is not actively used or if codes require,
obtain a neutralizer kit (usually contains limestone). Proper drains and connections to the
condensate tubing are required as NORDYNE
cannot be held responsible for water leakage
which occurs due to loose hose connections or
improperly sealed drain line pipes.
GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING
This furnace is equipped for either left or right
side gas entry. Typical gas service hook-ups
are shown in Figure 25. When making the gas
connection provide clearance between the gas
supply line and the entry hole in the furnace
casing to avoid unwanted noise and/or damage
to the furnace.
All gas piping must be installed in compliance
with local codes and utility regulations. Some
local regulations require the installation of a
manual main shut-off valve and ground joint
union external to the furnace. The shut-off valve
should be readily accessible for service and/or
emergency use. Consult the local utility or gas
supplier for additional requirements regarding
placement of the manual main gas shut-off. In
the absence of local codes the gas line installation must comply with the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1) or
(CAN/CGA B149) installation codes.
An 1/8” NPT plugged tap must be installed in the
gas line to the unit for use when measuring the
gas supply pressure. The plug should be readily
accessible for service use. A drip leg should be
installed in the vertical pipe run to the unit. Table 5
lists gas fl ow capacities for standard pipe sizes as
a function of length in typical applications based
on nominal pressure drop in the line.
NOTE: Gas piping must not be run in or through
air ducts, chimneys, gas vents, elevator shafts,
etc.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of liquefi ed
petroleum gases.
The main manual gas valve and main power disconnect to the furnace must be properly labeled
by the installer in case emergency shutdown is
required.
!
CAUTION:
Do not use matches, lighters, candles,
or other sources of open fl ame to check
for gas leaks.
Leak Check
!
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings
exactly could result in serious injury,
death or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open
fl ame. Use a commercially available
soap solution made specifi cally for the
detection of leaks to check all connections. A fi re or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
After the gas piping to the furnace is complete,
all connections must be tested for gas leaks.
To check for leaks use only a soap and water
solution or other approved method.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When pressure testing
gas supply lines at pressures greater than
1/2 psig (14 in. water column), the furnace
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system to prevent damage to the gas
control valve. If the test pressure is less than
or equal to 1/2 psig (14 in. water column), the
furnace must be isolated from the gas supply
line by closing the manual shut-off valve.
!
WARNING:
This furnace was equipped at the
factory for use with natural gas only.
A special kit, supplied by the manufacturer, is required to convert the
furnace to operate on LP/propane gas.
Failure to use the proper conversion
kit can cause fi re, explosion, property
damage, carbon monoxide poisoning,
personal injury, or death.

in Table 10 or 11. Note: for installations between
zero and 5000 ft. above sea level, a #54 or #55
drill size orifi ce should be used depending upon
the rated fi ring rate of the unit (see Table 10 or
11). However for installations above 5000 ft.
above sea level, a # 55 or #56 drill size orifi ce
should be used. After changing the orifi ces, use
Table 9 to determine the appropriate manifold
pressure for your installation.
Natural Gas High Altitude
Conversion
All factory shipped furnaces are ready to operate
between zero and 4999 ft. above sea level. For
higher altitudes (between 5000 and 10,000 ft.
above sea level), conversion can be achieved
simply by adjusting the furnace manifold pres-
sure as shown in Table 8.

Canadian LP/Propane Gas Sea Level and High
Altitude Conversion Kit - P/N 904091A
This kit is for LP/propane conversions in Canada
at altitudes between zero and 4500 ft. above sea
level. Follow the installation instructions supplied
with the kit for proper installation.
!
CAUTION:
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.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Electrical connections must be made in accordance with all applicable local codes and
ordinances, and with the current revision of the
National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).
For Canadian installations electrical connections
and grounding must be done in accordance
with the current Canadian Electrical Code (CSA
C22.1 Part 1) and/or local codes. If any of the
original wire as supplied with the furnace must be
replaced, it must be replaced with wire having a
minimum temperature rating of 105°C. Refer to
the furnace nameplate and Table 12 for electrical
requirements.
Line Voltage Wiring
The line voltage (115 volt) to the furnace must
be supplied from a dedicated branch circuit
containing the correct fuse or circuit breaker for
the furnace. See Table 12. An electrical switch
should be readily accessible from and within
sight of the furnace. (See the Wiring Diagram
label in the furnace and Figure 26.)
The furnace cabinet must have an uninterrupted,
unbroken ground to minimize injury should an
electrical fault condition occur. The controls used
in this furnace require an earth ground to operate
properly. Acceptable methods for grounding are
electrical wire or conduit approved for electrical
ground service. Do not use gas piping as an
electrical ground.
NOTE: Proper line voltage polarity must be
maintained in order for the control system
to operate correctly. Verify that the incoming
neutral line is connected to the white wire and
the incoming “hot” line is connected to the
black wire in the junction box. These furnaces
will not operate unless polarity and ground
are properly connected. See Figure 23.
!
CAUTION:
Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation
after servicing.
Low Voltage Wiring
Install the thermostat per the manufacturer’s
instructions. The low voltage (24 volt) connections
from the thermostat are made at the terminal strip
on the control board in the furnace. See Figure
24 for the proper connections for heating only
(two-wire) and heating/cooling (four-wire) applications. The recommended minimum wire gauge
for thermostat wiring is shown in Table 12.
The thermostat must not be installed on an
outside wall or any other location where its operation may be adversely affected. Adverse affects
include radiant loading from fi replaces, sunlight,
or lighting fi xtures, and convective loading from
warm air registers or electrical appliances.
31
To check the heat anticipator setting either:
1. Add the current draw of the system components; or
2. Measure the current fl ow on the thermostat
R-W circuit after the circulating blower motor
has started.
Set the heat anticipator according to the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions for heat
anticipator settings.
Verifying and Adjusting
Firing Rate
The fi ring rate must be verifi ed for each installation to prevent over-fi ring the furnace.
NOTE: The fi ring rate must not exceed the rate
shown on the furnace rating plate. At altitudes
above 2000 ft. the fi ring rate must be adjusted
as described in the high altitude section.
START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
Prior to start-up, verify that:
1. The line voltage power leads are securely
connected, that the polarity of the connections is correct, and that the furnace is
properly grounded.
2. The thermostat wires (R, W, Y, and G) are
securely connected to the correct leads on
the terminal strip of the circuit board.
3. The gas line service pressure does not
exceed 10.0 in. water column (0.36 psig),
and is not less than 4.5 in. water column
(0.16 psig) for natural gas. For LP gas the
line service pressure must not exceed 14
in. water column (0.51 psig), and must not
be less than 11.0 in. W.C. (0.40 psig).
4. The roll-out and vent safety manual reset
switches are closed. If necessary, press the
red button to reset a switch. See Figure 30
for location. DO NOT install a jumper wire
across a switch to defeat its function. If a
switch reopens on start-up, DO NOT reset
the switch without identifying and correcting
the fault condition which caused the switch
to trip.
5. The blower door is in place, closing the door
switch in the line voltage circuit.
6. The gas line has been purged and all connections are leak tight.
Start-Up Procedure
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Close the disconnect(s) to provide line voltage to the furnace.
3. Follow the procedures given on the operating
instructions label attached to the furnace.
4. Set the thermostat above room temperature
and verify the sequence of operation. (See
the SEQUENCE OF OPERATION.)
5. After the furnace has run for approximately
fi ve minutes, set the thermostat below room
temperature and verify steps (9) through
(11) of the SEQUENCE OF OPERATION.
32
Use the following procedure to determine the
fi ring rate:
1. Shut off all other gas fi red appliances.
2. Start the furnace and allow it to run for at
least three minutes.
3. Measure the time (in seconds) required for
the gas meter to complete one revolution.
4. Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet
of gas per hour using Table 13.
5. Multiply the gas fl ow rate in cubic feet per
hour by the heating value of the gas in Btu
per cubic foot to obtain the fi ring rate in Btuh.
Example:
• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with
a 1 cubic foot dial = 40 seconds.
• From Table 9 read 90 cubic feet per hour
of gas.
• Heating value of the gas (obtained
from gas supplier) = 1040 Btu per cubic
foot.
• Firing rate = 1040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.

6. Adjustments to the fi ring rate can be made
p
by adjusting the gas manifold pressure.
See the High Altitude Application section
for additional information of fi ring rate at
elevations above 2000 ft.
The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate value for your installation. Refer to
either Table 8 for natural gas or Table 9 for
LP/propane gas to verify the manifold pressure
setting required for your particular installation. To
adjust the manifold pressure, remove the regulator cap and turn the adjusting screw clockwise
to increase pressure or counterclockwise to
reduce pressure. Replace the regulator cap
after adjustments are complete.
!
CAUTION:
Do not re-drill the burner orifi ces. If
the orifi ce size must be changed, use
only new orifi ces.
Verifying and Adjusting
Temperature Rise
Verify that the temperature rise through the
furnace is within the range specifi ed on the
furnace rating plate. Temperature rises outside
the specifi ed range could result in premature
heat exchanger failure.
Place thermometers in the return and supply
air stream as close to the furnace as possible.
The thermometer on the supply air side must
be shielded from direct radiation from the heat
exchanger to avoid false readings. Adjust all
registers and duct dampers to the desired
position and run the furnace for fi fteen minutes
before taking any temperature readings. The
temperature rise is the difference between the
supply and return air temperatures.
For typical duct systems, the temperature rise
will fall within the range specifi ed on the rating plate with the blower speed at the factory
recommended setting. If the temperature rise
measured is outside the range specifi ed, it may
be necessary to change the blower speed. Lower
blower speeds will increase the temperature
rise and higher blower speeds will decrease the
temperature rise.
The furnace is equipped with a multispeed motor.
Heating and cooling speed selection is made by
moving the leads on the integrated control board
located in the furnace. The wiring diagram on
the furnace and Figures 27, 28 and 29 show the
speed taps for adjusting motor speed.
If it is desired that the blower operate at the
same speed for heating and cooling, tape off
the terminal of the unused blower wire. Install
the jumper wire, found in the plastic instruction
bag, across the HEAT and COOL taps on the
control board. Reconnect the desired blower tap
to the piggyback quick connect.
The blower control is designed to start the
circulating air blower 30 seconds after the gas
valve is opened. The blower control is factory
wired to turn the blower motor off 120 seconds
after the gas valve is closed. This timing can be
changed using the BLOWER OFF timing switch
opposite the terminal block on the control board.
(See Figure 28.)
Verifying Burner Operation
To verify operation of the burners, make sure
that the blower compartment door is in place
and that there is power to the furnace. Set the
thermostat above room temperature and observe the ignition sequence. The fl ame can be
observed through the small clear window on the
burner box. The burner fl ame should carry over
between all burners. The fl ames should be blue,
without yellow tips. Flames should extend from
each burner without lifting, curling, or fl oating.
After verifying ignition, set the thermostat below
room temperature and verify that the burner fl ame
extinguishes completely.
a close-off plate in place of or upstream of the
fi lter(s). Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify that the Sequence of Operation
is as described in these instructions. The supply
air limit switch should function to turn off the
gas valve within approximately fi ve minutes. The
circulating air and combustion blowers should
continue to run when the supply air limit switch
opens. Remove the close-off plate immediately
after the supply air limit switch opens. If the
furnace operates for more than fi ve minutes
with no return air, set the thermostat below room
temperature, shut off the power to the furnace,
and replace the supply air limit switch.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
Figure 28 shows the location of each of the
functional components described below. If any
component of the furnace must be replaced,
use only factory authorized replacement parts.
See the Replacement Parts List for each component.
Flame Sensor – The fl ame sensor acts to prove
that fl ame has carried over from the igniter to the
opposite end burner. If no fl ame is sensed, the
furnace will be shut down automatically.
Verifying Operation of the Supply
Air Limit Switch
To verify operation of the supply air limit switch,
make sure that the blower door is in place and
that there is power to the furnace. Completely
block the return airfl ow to the furnace by installing
34
Gas Valve – The gas valve controls the fl ow
of gas to the burners. When the gas valve is
energized it automatically opens and regulates
the gas pressure in the manifold.
Pressure Switch – The pressure switch verifi es
that the inducer is drawing the combustion gases
through the heat exchanger. It also senses a
blocked condensate drain condition.
Vent Pressure Switch – The vent pressure
switch reacts to blockage in the vent or combustion air piping.
Supply Air Limit Switch – The supply air limit
switch prevents the air temperature leaving the
furnace from exceeding the maximum outlet air
temperature.
Vent Safety Switch – The vent safety switch
shuts the furnace down if the outlet fl ue gas
temperature increases above 160°F. This switch
protects the plastic fl ue system and the inducer
from over-temperature conditions.
Flame Roll-Out Switch – This switch provides
fl ame roll-out protection to the furnace and
combustion air inlet pipe.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the furnace be checked
yearly. At a minimum, this check should include
the following items.
!
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal injury,
or death, disconnect the electric power
before performing any maintenance.
Combustion Air and Vent System
Check the combustion air and vent pipe to ensure
that it is not damaged, corroded or blocked by
debris. Any damaged section of vent pipe must be
replaced, and any obstruction or blockage must
be removed prior to operating the furnace.
Air Filter(s)
!
WARNING:
Never operate the furnace without
a fi lter in place. Dust and lint in the
return air can build up on internal
components, resulting in loss of
effi ciency, equipment damage, and
possible fi re.
AIR FILTER(S) ARE NOT SUPPLIED WITH THE
FURNACE AS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY.
FILTERS FOR SIDE RETURN AND BOTTOM
RETURN APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE
FROM YOUR LOCAL DISTRIBUTORS.
The installer should provide a fi lter rack for a high
velocity type fi lter in the return air duct adjacent
to the furnace. Filters should be changed or
cleaned monthly during the heating season.
New or newly renovated homes may require
more frequent changing until the construction
dust has been removed.
!
WARNING:
Holes in the vent pipe or heat exchanger can cause products of combustion
to enter the home. Replace the vent
pipe or heat exchanger if leaks are
found. 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.
Lubrication
The bearings in the circulating air blower motors
are pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. No
further oiling of the bearings is required for the
life of the motor.
Condensate Drain Assembly
Be sure the condensate lines are free and open
(i.e. avoid kinking hoses). Also make sure all
hose clamps are tight to avoid drawing air into
the system.
Blower Compartment
The blower compartment should be cleaned
monthly during the heating and cooling seasons

to remove any dirt and lint that may have accumulated in the compartment or on the blower
and motor. Dirt and lint can create excessive
loads on the motor resulting in higher than
normal operating temperatures and shortened
service life.
Heat Exchanger and Burner Maintenance
The furnace should operate for many years
without excessive soot buildup in the fl ue passageways, however, the fl ue passageways,
the vent system, and the burners should be
inspected and cleaned (if required) by a qualifi ed serviceman annually to ensure continued
safe operation. Particular attention must be
given to identify deterioration from corrosion or
other sources.
SYSTEM OPERATION
INFORMATION
Proper maintenance is most important to achieve
the best performance from a furnace. Follow
these instructions for years of safe, trouble free
operation.
• Do not place combustible materials on or
against the furnace cabinet or the vent
pipe.
• Do not store gasoline or any other fl ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
the furnace.
• Change or replace the air fi lters monthly
during any period when the circulating
blower is operating regularly.
• Always replace the doors on the furnace
after servicing. Do not operate the furnace
without all doors and covers in place.
• Avoid operating the furnace when windows and doors are open.
• Be sure that the thermostat is properly
installed and is not being affected by drafts
or heat from lamps or other appliances.
Sequence of Operation
Operating sequences for the heating, cooling,
and fan modes are described below. Refer to
the wiring diagrams (Figures 29) and the voltage
fi eld wiring diagram (Figure 26).
Heating Mode:
1. On a call for heat the thermostat closes,
applying 24 VAC to the W terminal on the
control board.
2. The control board checks for continuity on
the 24 VAC limit control circuit (over-temperature limit switch, fl ame rollout switches and
blocked vent switch in series). If an open limit
is detected the control board will energize
the inducer and the conditioned air blower.
All other system functions will be inoperable
until the limit circuit closes. While the limit
is open, the red LED will pulse at a rate of
1 blink per unit time.
3. The furnace control checks for continuity
across the pressure switch (24 VAC). If the
pressure switch is closed the heat mode
sequence will not continue. If it remains
closed for 10 seconds the red LED will blink
3 times repetitively until the fault condition
clears.
4. The inducer is energized.
5. The pressure switch will close. If the pressure switch does not close after 10 seconds
the fault LED will blink 2 times repetitively
and the inducer will continue to run until the
switch is closed.
6. The inducer will pre-purge for 30 seconds
and then the igniter will start its warm-up as
follows:
Initial Power up: After 30 seconds of igniter
warm-up the gas valve (24 VAC) will then
open. The igniter circuit will stay energized
for 3 seconds after the gas valve opens.
After Initial Power up: The control has a
programmed adaptive ignition feature which
varies the warm-up period as follows: If ignition is successful the warm-up is reduced
by 3-seconds on each subsequent call for
heat until ignition failure occurs. Upon ignition failure, the warm-up is increased by
3-seconds on the next try. If successful, the
timing remains fi xed at this level. In general,
whenever ignition failure occurs the warm-up
interval is increased by 3-seconds on the
next try. And if successful, it remains there.
Minimum and maximum warm-up time limits
are set at 6 and 54-seconds, respectively.
7. The furnace control must prove fl ame via
the fl ame the fl ame sensor 5 seconds after
the gas valve opens. If fl ame is sensed, all
burners are on and the igniter cools off. If
no fl ame is sensed, the gas valve closes immediately and the inducer continues to run.
38
A second trial for ignition (step 6) begins if no
fl ame is sensed. On the fi fth try for ignition,
the furnace control is locked out and the
red LED will blink 4 times repetitively. The
thermostat must be opened for at least ten
seconds to reset the furnace control after a
lock out. Otherwise, the furnace will attempt
another ignition sequence in 1 hour.
8. The furnace control energizes the circulating
air blower on the heating speed 30 seconds
after the gas valve circuit is energized .
9. When the thermostat has been satisfi ed,
gas valve is de-energized.
10. The inducer is de-energized after a 30
second postpurge.
11. The furnace control keeps the circulating air
blower energized for 120 seconds (factory
set) or 60, 90, or 180 seconds (fi eld adjustable). (See Figure 27.)
12. Abnormal conditions: If a limit opens during
operation, the inducer and circulating air
blower continue to operate. The gas valve
is de-energized immediately. The blowers
continue to operate until the limit closes.
When the limit closes the inducer blower is
de-energized immediately. The circulating
air blower continues to operate for the specifi ed delay (factory set at 120 seconds).
Fan Mode:
1. On a call for fan operation, the thermostat
applies 24 VAC to the G terminal on the
furnace control board.
2. The circulating air blower is energized immediately on the heating speed.
3. If the furnace is operated in the continuous
ON position at the thermostat and is then
switched to AUTO, the circulating blower will
operate for a specifi ed delay (factory set at
120 seconds).
Furnace Fails to Operate
If the furnace does not operate check the following:
1. Is the thermostat operating properly?
2. Are the blower compartment door(s) in
place?
3. Is the furnace disconnect closed?
4. Has the circuit breaker tripped or the control
board fuse burned open?
5. Is the gas turned on?
6. Are any manual reset switches open?
7. Is the fi lter dirty or plugged?
8. Is the fl ame sensor coated? (Remove and
clean with emery cloth.)
Cooling Mode:
1. On a call for cooling the thermostat closes,
applying 24 VAC to the G and Y terminals
on the furnace control. This closes the
compressor contactor.
2. The furnace control energizes the circulating
blower (115 VAC) on the cooling speed.
3. When the thermostat is satisfi ed, the G and
Y terminals on the control board are de-energized opening the compressor contactor.
4. The circulating air blower is de-energized
after a 90 second delay.

If the furnace locks out after 5 attempts for
ignition, it will try again every hour if a call for
heat remains. If the inducer and circulating air
blowers are operating, and items 1 through 8
have been checked, press the red reset button
on the vent safety switch. (See Figure 30.) If
the furnace operates after depressing the reset
button, contact a qualifi ed serviceman to identify
and repair the problem.
If the furnace continues to not operate, depress
the red reset buttons on the fl ame rollout switches.
(See Figure 30.) If the furnace operates after
depressing the reset buttons, contact a qualifi ed
servicemen to identify and repair the problem.
Twinning of Two Furnaces
The control board on these furnaces is capable
of being twinned to another furnace of the
same series, provided the circuit boards are
both UTEC type. If using UTEC control boards,
leave the fuses installed on each board. The
thermostat wires and the 1/4 inch quick-connect
terminals marked “TWIN” on the furnace controls
must be connected together for twinning. (See
Figure 31.)
