A copy of the installation instructions shall remain with the appliance or equipment at the completion of the installation.
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.

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.

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:
Material Standard Schedule 40 PVC D1785 PVC-DWV D2665 SDR-21* D2241 & SDR-26* ABS-DWV D2661 Schedule 40 ABS F628 Foam/Cellular Core PVC F891
*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.

The condensate produced by the fur­nace must be drained. Do not connect a water supply to the drainage hose of the furnace.
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.)
2. Rotate the soft exit tube (counter clockwise, 180° upfl ow *RC models; clockwise 90° downfl ow *RL models.)
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.

Conversion
Conversion of this furnace to use LP/propane gas must be made by qualifi ed service person­nel, using only approved parts.
High Altitude Application
High altitude application with this furnace can be fi eld performed by a simple adjustment of manifold pressure, and if necessary changing the orifi ces. The changes required depend on the installation altitude and the heating value of the gas. The gas heating value based on sea level can be obtained from your local gas util­ity. The heating value of gas at high altitude is always lower than the sea level heating value. The heating values used in Tables 8 & 9 are based on sea level values.
NOx furnace from Natural gas to LP/pro­pane gas, it is necessary to remove the NOx Baffl es from the furnace.
Conversion of this furnace to utilize LP/propane gas must be made by qualifi ed service person­nel, using factory authorized or approved parts. Conversion to LP/propane gas can be accom­plished by fi rst replacing the natural gas orifi ces with the appropriate LP/propane orifi ces shown 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.)
