Combustion Air Quality
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a
corrosive atmosphere.
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air must be
free of chemicals that can form corrosive acidic compounds
in the combustion gases. The recommended source of
combustion air is to use outdoor air. However, the use of
indoor air in most applications is acceptable except as listed:
• If the furnace is installed as a single pipe installation
in a confined space, it is required that the necessary
combustion air come from the outdoors by way of attic,
crawl space, air duct, or direct opening. For Installations
in confined spaces, see
requirements.
• Installations in these locations 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

Heating Load
This furnace should be sized to provide the design heating
load requirement. Heating load estimates can be made
using approved methods available from Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (Manual J); American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers; or
other approved engineering methods. Excessive oversizing
of the furnace could cause the furnace and/or vent to
fail prematurely.
The ductwork should be appropriately sized to the capacity of
the furnace to ensure its proper airflow rating. For installations
above 2,000 ft., the furnace should have a sea level input
rating large enough that it will meet the heating load after
deration for altitude.

COMBUSTION AIR & VENTING
REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below
for each appliance connected to the venting
system being placed into operation could
result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed with
each individual appliance connected to the
venting system being placed in operation,
while all other appliances connected to the
venting system are not in operation:
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/NFPA 54 or the CSA
B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Codes and these instructions. Determine that
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,
corrosion and other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as 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. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance
not connected to the venting system. Turn on
any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and
bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at
maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the
appliance being inspected into operation.
Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating
continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped
appliances at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the flame 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, fireplace
dampers and any other gas-fired burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.

Page 7
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
• This furnace must be vented in compliance with
the current revision of the National Fuel Gas Code
(ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA54). Instructions for determining the
adequacy of an installation can be found in the current
revision of the NFGC (ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54). Refer
to the NFGC for approved vent tables. Consult local
codes for special requirements. These requirements
are for US installations as found in the NFGC.
• Furnace installation using methods other than those
described in the following sections must comply with
the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) and all applicable
local codes.
• Requirements in Canada (B149.1) are structured
differently. In Canada, venting shall conform to
the requirements of the current (CAN/CSA B149.1)
installation codes. Consult local codes for special
requirements.
• Provisions must be made during the installation of
this furnace that provide an adequate supply of air
for combustion. The combustion air from the outside
needs to be clear of chemicals that can cause corrosion.
The inlet pipe should not be placed near corrosive
chemicals such as those listed on
page 5.
WARNING:
Upon completion of the furnace installation,
carefully inspect the entire flue system both
inside and outside the furnace to assure it is
properly sealed. Leaks in the flue system can
result in serious personal injury or death due
to exposure of flue products, including carbon
monoxide.
WARNING:
This furnace must not be vented with other
appliances, 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 fireplace chimney or
building chase.
This condensing furnace is certified for installation either as
a Direct Vent (2-pipe) or Conventional (1-pipe) appliance.
Direct Vent appliances draw combustion air from the outdoors
and vent combustion products back outside. Installation
with air taken from around the furnace is often referred to
as Conventional installation - i.e. only the vent (exhaust)
pipe is provided.
Another important consideration when selecting one or
two pipe installation is the quality of the Indoor air which
can sometimes be contaminated with various household
chemicals . These chemicals can cause severe corrosion
in the furnace combustion system. A 2-pipe installation has
the additional advantage that it isolates the system from the
effects of negative pressure in the house.
CAUTION:
Exhaust fans, clothes dryers, fireplaces and
other appliances that force air from the house
to the outdoors can create a negative pressure
inside the house, resulting in improper furnace
operation or unsafe conditions such as flame roll
out. It is imperative that sufficient air exchange
with the outdoors is provided to prevent
depressurization. Additional information about
how to test for negative pressure problems can
be found in the NFGC.
Air openings on top of the furnace and openings in closet
doors or walls must never be restricted. If the furnace is
operated without adequate air for combustion, the flame rollout switch will open, turning off the gas supply to the burners.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This safety device is a manually reset switch. DO NOT
install jumper wires across these switches to defeat
their function or reset a switch without identifying
and correcting the fault condition. If a switch must be
replaced, use only the correct sized part specified in the
Replacement Parts List provided online.
Direct Vent Furnaces
Direct Vent (2-pipe) furnaces draw combustion air directly from
the outdoors and then vent the combustion products back
outside, isolating the entire system from the indoor space.
It is important to make sure that the whole system is sealed
and clearances to combustibles are maintained regardless
of the installation being in a confined or unconfined space.
Conventional Vent Systems - Confined Spaces
A confined space is an area with volume less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all appliances
drawing combustion air from that space. Furnace closets,
small equipment rooms and garages are confined spaces.
Furnaces installed in a confined space which supply heated
air to areas outside the space must draw return air from
outside the space and must have the return air ducts tightly
sealed to the furnace. Ducts must have cross - sectional
area at least as large as the free area of their respective
openings to the furnace space. Attics or crawl spaces must
connect freely with the outdoors if they are the source of air
for combustion and ventilation.
The required sizing of these openings is determined by
whether inside or outside air is used to support combustion,
the method by which the air is brought to the space, and by
the total input rate of all appliances in the space. In all cases,
the minimum dimension of any combustion air opening is
3 inches.
Air From Inside
If combustion air is taken from the heated space, the two
openings must each have a free area of at least one square
inch per 1,000 Btuh of total input of all appliances in the
confined space, but not less than 100 square inches of free
area. See
Example and Figure 2.

Furnace
Conventional Vent Systems - Unconfined
Spaces
An unconfined 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.
In general, a furnace installed in an unconfined space will not
require outside air for combustion. However, in homes built for
energy efficiency (low air change rates), it may be necessary
to provide outside air to ensure adequate combustion and
venting, even though the furnace is located in an unconfined
space. See
A space with a water heater rated at 45,000 Btuh input
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
unconfined. If the space has an 8 foot ceiling, the floor
area of the space must be 750 sq. ft. (6,000 / 8 = 750).
If acceptable under local Codes, it is permitted to provide
outside air using one opening (See NFGC). Generally,
confined spaces must have two openings in the space for
combustion air. One opening must be within 12 inches of
the ceiling, and the other must be within 12 inches of the
floor. However, an alternative method recently adopted by
the NFGC uses one opening within 12 inches of the top of
the space. This method may be used if it is acceptable to
the local codes.
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET:
1. The opening must start within 12” of the top of the structure
and connect with the out of doors through vertical or
horizontal ducts or be ducted to a crawl or attic space that
connects with the out of doors.
2. The opening must have a minimum free area of 1 sq.
in. per 3,000 Btu per hour of the total input rating of all
equipment located in the enclosure.
3. The free area must not be less than the sum of all the
areas of the vent connectors in the enclosure.
Category IV Venting
WARNING:
Upon completion of the furnace installation,
carefully inspect the entire flue system both
inside and outside the furnace to assure it is
properly sealed. Leaks in the flue system can
result in serious personal injury or death due
to exposure of flue products, including carbon
monoxide.
This furnace is classified as a “Category IV” appliance,
which requires special venting materials and installation
procedures. This section specifies installation requirements
for Conventional (1-pipe) and Direct Vent (2-pipe) piping.
For 1- pipe installations, install vent piping as described in
this section and provide air for combustion and ventilation
according to
The length of vent and combustion air piping for either type
of installation are llisted in
Category IV appliances operate with positive vent pressure
and therefore require vent systems which are thoroughly
sealed. They also produce liquid 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.
The inducer assembly on this furnace can be rotated to
vent the flue products out of the top, left or right side. This
increases the flexibility of which direction the vent pipe can
exit the furnace.

Vent Pipe Material
Vent and combustion air pipe and fittings must be one of
the following materials in the list and must conform to the
indicated ANSI/ASTM standards.
*When using PolyPro®, all venting and fittings must be from the same
manufacturer with no interchanging of other materials. Refer to specific
instructions supplied with the PolyPro vent kits
®
by DuraVent ............................................. ULC-S636
When joining PVC to PVC, use cement that conforms to
ASTM standard D2564. PVC primer must meet standard
ASTM F656. When joining ABS to ABS, use cement that
conforms to ASTM standard D2235. When joining PVC
to ABS, use cement as specified in procedure from ASTM
standard D3138
In Canada, all plastic vent pipes and fittings including any
cement, cleaners, or primers must be certified as a system
to ULC S636. However this requirement does not apply to
the finish flanges or piping internal to the furnace.
Vent Pipe Length & Diameter
In order for the furnace to operate properly, the combustion
air and vent piping must not be excessively restrictive.
• The venting system should be designed to have the
minimum number of elbows or turns.
• Transition to the final vent diameter should be done as
close to the furnace outlet as practical.
• Always use the same size or a larger pipe for combustion
air that is used for the exhaust vent.
Table 1 (page 10) indicates the maximum allowable pipe
length for a furnace of known input rate, when installed with
piping of selected diameter and number of elbows. To use
the table, the furnace input rate, the centerline length and
the number of elbows on each pipe must be known.
When estimating the length of vent runs, consideration must
be made to the effect of elbows and other fittings. This is
conveniently handled using the idea of “equivalent length”.
This means the fittings are assigned a linear length that
accounts for the pressure drop they will cause. For example:
a 2” diameter, long radius elbow is worth the equivalent of
2.5 feet of linear run. A 90 degree tee is worth 7 ft.
The equivalent lenghts of tees and various elbows are listed
in
Table 1. Measure the linear length of your vent run and
then add in the equivalent length of each fitting. The total
length, including the equivalent fitting lengths, must be less
than the maximum length specified in the table.
Vent Pipe Installation
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a
corrosive atmosphere.
This furnace has been certified 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.
• In the absence of local codes, the location of any
combustion air inlet relative to any vent terminal must
be at least 8 inches. This includes installations involving
more than one furnace.
• 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. (See
page 5 for a sample list of substances).

and the outdoors. Horizontal piping from inducer to
the flue pipe must be sloped 1/4” per foot to ensure
condensate flows towards the drain tee or PVC trap.
Longer vent runs require larger pipe diameters. Refer to
the Inducer & Venting Options section on
page 15 for
additional information.
• If a Direct Vent (2-pipe) system is used, the combustion
air intake and the vent exhaust must be located in the
same atmospheric pressure zone. This means both pipes
must exit the building through the same portion of exterior
wall or roof as shown in
Figure 33 (page 36).
• Piping must be mechanically supported so that its weight
does not bear on the furnace. Pipe supports must be
installed a minimum of every five feet along the vent run
to ensure no displacement after installation. Supports
may be at shorter intervals if necessary to ensure that
there are no sagging sections that can trap condensate.
It is recommended to install couplings along the vent
pipe, on either side of the exterior wall (
Figure 33). These
couplings may be required by local code.
• If breakable connections are required in the combustion
air inlet pipe (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:
1. 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.
2. Slide the other end of the rubber coupling onto the other
pipe from the vent.
3. Secure the coupling with the second hose clamp, ensuring
that the connection is tight and leak free.

• Vent and combustion air intake terminations must
be located to ensure proper furnace operation and
conformance to applicable codes. A vent terminal must
be located at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located
within 10 feet. This does not apply to the combustion air
inlet of a direct vent (two pipe) appliance. In Canada,
CSA B149.1 takes precedence over these instructions.
See
Table 12.
• All minimum clearances must be maintained to protect
building materials from degradation by flue gases. See
(
Figure 8).
• For optimal performance, vent the furnace through a wall
that experiences the least exposure to winter winds.
• The vent termination shall be located at least 3 ft.
horizontally from any electric meter, gas meter, regulator
and any relief equipment. These distances apply ONLY
to U.S. installations. In Canada, CSA B149.1 takes
precedence over these instructions.

provided that:
• Both the exhaust vent and air intake run the length of the
chimney.
• The top of the chimney is sealed and weatherproofed.
• The termination clearances shown in
maintained.
• No other gas fired or fuel-burning equipment is vented
through the chimney.
Vent Freezing Protection
When the vent pipe is exposed to temperatures
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, Armaflex-type insulation or
equivalent. Insulating pipe is important to avoid
condensate icing.
• Table 2 lists the maximum length of flue pipe that can
travel through an unconditioned space or an exterior
space. The total vent length must not exceed the lengths
noted in
please refer to the Canadian Installation Code (CAN/
CSA-B149.1 or 2) and/or local codes.
• For extremely cold climates or for conditions of short
furnace cycles (i.e. set back thermostat conditions)
the last 18 inches of vent pipe can be reduced. It is
acceptable to reduce from 3” to 2-1/2”, 3” to 2”, or 2” to
1-1/2” if the total vent length is at least 15 feet in length,
and the vent length is within the parameters specified in
Table 1. The restriction should be counted as 3 equivalent
feet. Smaller vent pipes are less susceptible to freezing,
but must not be excessively restrictive. The length of the
2 inch pipe must not be longer than 18 inches.

• If furnace is installed horiziontally, make sure the drainage
port on the in-line drain assembly is pointed downward
to ensure proper drainage of condensate. For J951X*U
series, see
Figure 35 (page 38).
• To prevent debris or creatures from entering the
combustion system, a protective screen may be installed
over the combustion air intake opening. The screens hole
size must be large enough to prevent air restriction.
Existing Installations
When an existing furnace is removed from a vent system
serving other appliances, the existing vent system may not be
sized properly to vent the remaining appliances (For example:
water heater). An improperly sized venting system can result
in the formation of condensate, leakage, or spillage. The
existing vent system should be checked to make sure it is in
compliance with NFGC and must be brought into compliance
before installing the furnace.
NOTE: If replacing an existing furnace, it is possible you will
encounter an existing plastic venting system that is subject
to a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall. The pipes
involved in the recall are High Temperature Plastic Vent
(HTPV). If your venting system contains these pipes DO NOT reuse this venting system! This recall does not apply
to other plastic vent pipes, such as white PVC or CPVC.
Check for details on the CPSC website or call their toll-free
number (800) 758-3688.
Condensate Disposal
The method for disposing of condensate varies according
to local codes. Consult your local code or authority having
jurisdiction. Neutralizer kit is available for use with this furnace.
Refer to the technical sales literature for part numbers. Please follow the instructions provided with the kit.
This furnace has multiple options for positioning the vent
pipe as described in the, Vent and Inducer Assembly Options

Page 13
For Installations where there is limited clearance for the
J-Trap (such as an attic where it may be installed between
ceiling joists), either side of the J-Trap can be shortened to
a minimum of 3 Inches. See
Figure 11 (page 15).
CIRCULATING AIR REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
Do not allow combustion products to enter the
circulating air supply. Failure to prevent the
circulation of combustion products into the
living space can create potentially hazardous
conditions including carbon monoxide 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 confined spaces, all return ductwork must be
adequately sealed. When return air is provided
through the bottom of the furnace, the joint
between the furnace and the return air plenum
must be air tight.
The surface that the furnace is mounted on must
provide sound physical support of the furnace
with no gaps, cracks or sagging between the
furnace and the floor or platform.
Return air and circulating air ductwork must
not be connected to any other heat producing
device such as a fireplace insert, stove, etc. This
may result in fire, explosion, carbon monoxide
poisoning, personal injury, or property damage.
• When a cooling system is installed which uses the
furnace blower to provide airflow over the indoor coil, the
coil must be installed downstream (on the outlet side) of
the furnace or in parallel with the furnace.
• If a cooling system is installed in parallel with the
furnace, a damper must be installed to prevent chilled
air from entering the furnace and condensing on the heat
exchanger. If a manually operated damper is installed,
it must be designed so that operation of the furnace is
prevented when the damper is in the cooling position and
operation of the cooling system is prevented when the
damper is in the heating position.
• Seal all connections and joints with industrial grade
sealing tape or liquid sealant. Requirements for sealing
ductwork vary from region to region. Consult with local
codes for requirements specific to your area.
Return Air Connections
• In applications where the supply ducts carry heated air to
areas outside the space where the furnace is installed,
the return air must be delivered to the furnace by duct(s)
secured to the furnace casing, running full size and
without interruption. Do not use the back of the furnace
for return air.
• Position the furnace with the return air ductwork ensuring
even alignment of furnace (or coil casing) air opening
and return air duct. NOTE: The ductwork must have an
opening equal to that of the return air opening of the
furnace (or coil casing). See
Figure 30 (page 29) for return air opening size.
Figure 29 (page 29) or
Upflow & Horizontal Furnaces
• The return air ductwork may be connected to the left side,
right side, or bottom of the furnace. NOTE: If using the left
or right side of the furnace for return air, the bottom panel
(Figure 32) must not be removed from the bottom of the
furnace.
Plenums & Air Ducts
• 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).
• On upflow furnaces, if the maximum airflow is 1,600 CFM
or more, two openings shall be used for return air to
comply with government mandated efficiency standards.
Downflow furnaces can only use one return opening.
• It is recommended that the outlet duct contain a removable
access panel. The opening should be accessible when
the furnace is installed in service and shall be of a size
that smoke or reflected light may be observed inside
the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in the heat
exchanger. The cover for the opening shall be attached
in a way that prevent leaks.
• If outside air is used as return air to the furnace for
ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the system
must be designed so that the return air is not less than
60° F (15° C) during 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.
WARNING:
The bottom panel of the furnace must be in place
when the furnace is installed with side return air
ducts. Removal of all or part of the base could
cause circulation of combustible products into
the living space and create potentially hazardous
conditions, including carbon monoxide poisoning
that could result in personal injury or death.
• Side Return Installations: To attach the return air duct
to the left or right side of the furnace, punch out the 4
knockouts from the side of the furnace (
Using sharp metal cutters, cut an opening between all 4
knockouts to expose the blower assembly. Position the
return air duct over the opening and secure to the side
with sheet metal screws.
• Bottom Return Installations: If using the bottom of the
furnace for return air, the bottom panel (
be removed from the bottom of the furnace. See
for removal instructions. Position the furnace over

system installation includes AC coil casing, bend the
flanges on the coil casing upward 90° before attaching
the return air duct.
• Secure the return air ductwork to the furnace or coil
casing (if installed) with sheet metal screws. Make sure
the screws penetrate the sheet metal casing and flanges.
Supply Air Connections
• The supply air must be delivered to the heated space by
duct(s) secured to the furnace or coil box casing, running
full size and without interruption.
• To attach the supply air duct to upflow & horizontal
furnaces, bend the flanges on the furnace upward 90°
with wide duct pliers. See

Acoustical Treatments
Damping ducts, flexible vibration isolators, or pleated mediastyle filters on the return air inlet of the furnace may be used
to reduce the transmission of equipment noise eminating
from the furnace. These treatments can produce a quieter
installation, particularly in the heated space. However, they
can increase the pressure drop in the duct system. Care
must be taken to maintain the proper maximum pressure
rise across the furnace, temperature rise and flow rate.
This may mean increasing the duct size and/or reducing the
blower speed. These treatments must be constructed and
installed in accordance with NFPA and SMACNA construction
standards. Consult with local codes for special requirements.
For best sound performance, install all the needed gaskets
and grommets around penetrations into the furnace, such
as for electrical wiring.
FURNACE INSTALLATION

NOTE: It is important that Direct Vent (2-pipe) systems
maintain an airtight flow path from the air inlet to the flue
gas outlet. The furnace ships from the factory with two holes
in the cabinet for the air inlet and flue gas outlet. In certain
configurations, it is necessary to remove and relocate a plastic
plug in the furnace cabinet. If changing the position of the air
inlet and flue gas outlet, it is required that the previous hole
be closed off with the plastic plug to maintain air tightness
in the furnace. The hole locations for all furnace series are
shown in

Optional PVC Pipe Installation
When running the 2” PVC pipe out through the top of the
J951X*U upflow furnace, there may be possible clearance
issues when transitioning the PVC pipe from 2” to 3”:
• If the size of the PVC flue needs to be increased from 2”
to 3”, two, 2” x 45° PVC elbows may be used to achieve
the clearances needed between the coil box and the 2” x
3” coupling. See
• Install the 2” x 3” coupling in the vertical run only. If the
coupling is installed horizontally, it will allow water to build
up inside the furnace and cause a lock out condition.
• To avoid the clearance issue, it is recommended that the
furnace be vented through the left side or the right side of
the cabinet.

Condensate Drain Lines
If the furnace is installed in an area where temperatures
fall below freezing, special precautions must be made
for insulating condensate drain lines that drain to the
outdoors. If condensate freezes in the lines, this will
cause improper operation or damage to the furnace. It
is recommended that all drain lines on the outside of
the residence be wrapped with an industry approved
insulation or material allowed by local code.
• The method for disposing condensate varies according to
local codes. Consult your local code or authority having
jurisdiction.
• The condensate drain line must be trapped using a kit
(P/N- 922485) or field supplied parts. After the drain trap,
condensate can continue to the drain by connecting to a
recommended 3/4” ID minimum drain line, but no smaller
18
Page 19
than the original tubing ID supplied by the manufacturer.
Screws
The drain line should slope downward away from the
furnace to ensure proper drainage.
• The placement of the condensate drain lines will depend
on the configuration selected in
Table 4 (page 16). The
drain lines can be routed out the left or right side of the
furnace, but must maintain a downward slope to ensure
proper condensate drainage. The J-trap may need to be
rotated to the side that matches your setup.
For J951X*U series, see
35 (page 38)
. To rotate the J-trap, loosen the clamp on the drain
39)
. For J951X*D series, see Figure 36 (page
Figure 34 (page 37) & Figure
tube, rotate the J-trap to either side, and retighten the
clamp.
• It is permissible to locate the trap away from the
furnace. The condensate drain system (J-trap and drain
tube) should be no more than 30 equivalent feet while
maintaining 1/4” per foot slope, and insulated if located in
an unconditioned space.
THREE GENERAL PRINCIPLES APPLY:
• Each condensate drain must be trapped separately using
a J-Trap or field supplied loop. After individually trapping
the condensate lines, it is acceptable to combine the
drains.
• There must always be a drain attached to the collector at
the outlet of the secondary heat exchanger.
• There must always be a drain at the lowest point of the
venting system. NOTE: If using a condensate pump, the
furnace drain line must be installed above the pumps
water line.
EXCEPTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS TO THE
GENERAL RULES:
• If the vent exits the furnace horizontally, the vent may be
turned vertically with a tee. The drip leg formed by the tee must include a drain. (Option 1, Option 3, Option 4,
Option 11, Option 12, & Option 14)
• In certain cases, it is permitted to drain the inducer back
into the top drain of the collector. This drain must not sag in the middle. (Option 1, Option 3, Option 5, Option
7, Option 9, Option 10, Option 12, & Option 13)

GAS SUPPLY & PIPING
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death or property
damage.
• Installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency or the
gas supplier.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not
use any phone in your building.
• Leave the building immediately.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
• All gas piping must be installed in compliance with
local codes and utility regulations. 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/CSA B149.1) Installation Codes.
• Some local regulations require the installation of a
manual main shut-off valve and ground joint union
external to the furnace as shown in
&
Figure 24 (page 21). 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.
• Per ANSI 21.47, A 1/8-inch NPT plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection, must be installed
immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to
the furnace external to the cabinet. If local codes allow
the use of a flexible gas appliance connector, always
use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector
that has previously serviced another gas appliance.
• Gas piping must never run in or through air ducts,
chimneys, gas vents, or elevator shafts.
• Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping
must be resistant to the actions of LP propane gas.
• The main gas valve and main power disconnect to the
furnace must be properly labeled by the installer in
case emergency shutdown is required.
• Flexible gas connectors are not recommended for this
type of furnace but may be used if allowed by local
jurisdiction. Only new flexible connectors may be
used. Do not use a connector which has previously
serviced another gas appliance.
• A drip leg should be installed in the vertical pipe run
to the unit. See
Figure 23 or Figure 24.
Figure 23 (page 21)
Table 6 (page 32) lists gas flow capacities for standard pipe
sizes as a function of length in typical applications based on
nominal pressure drop in the line.
The furnace may be installed with either left or right side gas
entry. When connecting the gas supply, 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.
Typical gas hookups are shown in
Figure 23 & Figure 24.
Leak Check
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death or property
damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for the detection of leaks
to check all connections. A fire 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. This includes pipe connections
at the main gas valve, emergency shutoff valve and flexible
gas connectors (if applicable). The soap and water solution
can be applied on each joint or union using a small paintbrush.
If any bubbling is observed, the connection is not sealed
adequately and must be retightened. Repeat the tightening
and soap check process until bubbling ceases.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When pressure testing gas supply lines at pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.), the gas supply
piping system must be disconnected from the furnace
to prevent damage to the gas control valve. If the test
pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.),
close the manual shut-off valve.
High Altitude Application (Natural Gas Only)
High altitude conversion with this furnace depends on
the installation altitude and the heating value of the gas.
Installation of this furnace at altitudes above 2,000 feet
shall be in accordance with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 or National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas &
Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1. Please consult your
local code authority.
WARNING:
The reduction of input rating necessary for high
altitude installation may only be accomplished
with factory supplied orifices. Do not attempt to
drill out orifices in the field. Improperly drilled
orifices may cause fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury or death.

The furnaces are shipped from the factory with orifices and
gas regulator settings for natural gas operation at sea level
altitudes. At 2,000 feet, the NFGC requires that this appliance
be derated 4% for each 1,000 feet of altitude.
For example, the input needs to be reduced 8% at 2,000
feet, 12% at 3,000 feet, etc. This deration is in reference to
the input rate and gas heating value at sea level.
To derate the furnace requires knowing the heating value of
the gas at the installation site. Heating values at particular
job sites vary for two reasons:
1. The chemical mixture of the gas varies across regions
and is expressed as the “sea level heating value”.
2. The heating value varies by altitude. For this reason,
especially in high altitude areas, the local gas utility
specifies the heating value at the residence’s gas meter
as the “local value”.
For added flexibility, two tables have been provided for natural
gas installations with high or low heating values at sea level.
and orifice sizes to use at various altitudes.
for natural gas installations with a heating value of more than
1,000 Btu per cubic foot and
1,000 Btu per cubic foot. To determine which table to use:
1. Consult the local utility for the local heating value at your
installation site.
2. From
3. If your sea level heating value is HIGH, use
After changing the regulator pressure or the orifices, it is
required that you measure the gas input rate. This may be
accomplished in the usual way, by clocking the gas meter
and using the local gas heating value. See Verifying and
Adjusting the Input Rate section on
Table 9 (page 33), find your local heating value as
supplied by the utility company. Follow down the column
and stop at your altitude level.
Type of Gas: .............................................. Natural Gas
Local Heating Value of Gas: .................................. 750
From
Table 9, find 750 and follow down the column, stop
at the 5,000 feet row. The heating value listed is LOW.
Table 11 will be used to determine orifice size and manifold
pressure.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Observe the action of the burners to make sure there is
no yellowing, lifting or flashback of the flame.
For US installations only: To avoid nuisance tripping
at altitudes from 7500 to 10,000 feet, a pressure switch
conversion may be required. Consult the tables in the LP
and High altitude and LP gas conversion kit for installations
in the US.
Converting from Natural Gas to LP / Propane
WARNING:
The furnace was shipped from the factory
equipped to operate on natural gas. Conversion
to LP / Propane gas must be performed by
qualified service personnel using a factory
supplied conversion kit. Failure to use the proper
conversion kit can cause fire, explosion, property
damage, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal
injury, or death.
Conversion to LP / Propane is detailed in the installation
instructions provided with the conversion kit. Generally, this
will require the replacement of the burner orifices and the
spring found under the cap screw on the pressure regulator.
Approved conversion kits are listed below:
• Installations in the United States: For Propane (LP)
conversion or for LP gas installations in altitudes between
2,000 ft. and 10,000 ft. above sea level, use the LP &
High Altitude LP Gas Conversion Kit (P/N 905028) for
Installations in the United States. Please follow the instructions provided with the kit.
• Installations in Canada: For Propane (LP) conversion or
for LP Gas installations in altitudes between zero and
4,500 ft. above sea level, use the LP & High Altitude
LP Gas Conversion Kit (P/N 905029) for Installations in
Canada. Please follow the instructions provided with
the kit.
If the installation is in the U.S. and above 2,000 ft., refer to
Table 8 (page 33) to determine the correct orifice size and
Type of Gas: ............................................ Propane Gas
Input BTUH of Furnace: ....................................72,000
From
Table 8, find 5,000 and follow across the row, stop
at the 72,000 btu column. The manifold pressure listed
is 10.0 and the orifice size is 57.
When conversion is complete, verify the manifold pressure
and input rate are correct as listed in the table.

Twinning
WARNING:
When servicing either twinned furnace, power
must be turned off on both furnaces. Failure to
comply may result in improper operation leading
to damage to the furnaces or personal injury!
Single stage furnaces are not supplied with a built-in twinning
capability. Other valuable features and enhancements were
made to the new control that made it necessary to remove
the twinning capability. For twinning of single stage furnaces
with PSC motors, a twinning kit is available for purchase.
Refer to the technical sales literature for part numbers. Please
follow the instructions provided with the kit.
Single stage furnaces are equipped with a fixed speed blower;
therefore, the twin terminal on the blower control boards
(
Figure 27 (page 25)) may be used to twin the single stage
furnaces. The twinning system requires a relay (P/N 624843)
in the secondary furnace for proper twinning.
For proper twinning of fixed speed furnaces the following
criteria must be met:
• Both furnaces and motors must be the same size.
• Both motors must be on the same speed for cooling and
heating.

anticipator setting:
1. Add the current draw of the system components; or
2. Measure the current flow on the thermostat R-W circuit
after the circulating blower motor has started.
START-UP & ADJUSTMENTS
Pre-Start Check List
√ Verify the polarity of the connections are correct, the line
voltage power leads are securely connected and the
furnace is properly grounded.
√ Verify the thermostat wires (R, W, Y, & G) are securely
connected to the correct leads on the terminal strip of the
circuit board.
√ Verify the jumper setting (for fan speed) on the control
board. To select fan speed, see
jumper on the control board.
√ Verify the gas line service pressure does not exceed 10.0
inches of W.C., and is not less than 4.5 inches W.C. for
natural gas. For LP gas the line service pressure must
not exceed 14 in. W.C., and must not be less than 11.0
in. W.C.
√ Verify the roll-out and manual reset switch is closed. If
necessary, press the red button to reset a switch. DO
NOT install a jumper wire across a switch to defeat its
function. If a switch reopens on startup, DO NOT reset
the switch without identifying and correcting the fault
condition.
√ Verify the blower door is in place, closing the door switch
in the line voltage circuit.
√ Verify the gas line has been purged and all connections
are leak free.
Start-up Procedures
Do not perform these steps until all of the checks in the
previous steps have been completed:
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Turn off all electrical power to the furnace.
3. Follow the Operating Instructions on the label attached to
the furnace.
4. Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify the
Operating Sequence (
page 27).
5. After 5 minutes of operation, set the thermostat below
room temperature and verify steps 9 - 10 of the Operating
Sequence.
Verifying & Adjusting Input Rate
The input rate must be verified for each installation to prevent
over-firing of the furnace. NOTE: The input rate must not
exceed the rate shown on the furnace rating plate. At altitudes
above 2,000 feet, it must not exceed that on the rating plate
less 4% for each 1,000 feet. To determine the exact input
rate, perform the following procedures:
1. Shut off all other gas fired appliances.
2. Start the furnace and run it for at least 3 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
5. Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic ft per hr by the heating
value of the gas in Btu per cubic ft to obtain the input rate
in Btuh. See example.
• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic ft
dial = 40 seconds.
• From
• Local heating value of the gas (obtained from gas
supplier) = 1,040 Btu per cubic ft.
• Input rate = 1,040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.
Table 6 (page 32).
EXAMPLE:
Table 6 read 90 cubic ft gas per hr.

motor plug speed tap.
Verifying Burner Operation
CAUTION:
Figure 28. Regulator Capscrew
6. The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate
value for each installation by a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to drill the gas orifices. Use only
factory supplied orifices. Improperly drilled
orifices may cause fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury or death.
a.) Obtain the manifold pressure setting required for
this installation by referring to
Propane or
for Natural Gas.
34)
b.) Remove the regulator capscrew (
INLET side of the regulator.
c.) Slowly turn the adjustment screw inside the regulator
to obtain the appropriate manifold pressure.
NOTE: Turning the screw clockwise increases the
pressure and turning the screw counter-clockwise
decreases the pressure. To prevent backing the screw
all the way out from the valve, turn the screw slowly.
d.) Replace and tighten the regulator capscrew over the
adjustment screw.
Table 10 (page 34) or Table 11 (page
Verifying & Adjusting Temperature Rise
After installation of the furnace, confirm the temperature rise
of the furnace is within the limits specified on the rating plate.
Any temperature rise outside the specified limits could result
in premature failure of the heat exchanger.
1. 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.
2. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired position
and run the furnace for 10 to 15 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
limits specified on the rating plate with the blower speed at the
factory recommended setting. If the measured temperature
rise is outside the specified limits, it may be necessary to
change the speed of the blower.
NOTE: Lowering the blower speed will increase the
temperature rise and a higher blower speed will decrease
the temperature rise.
The furnace is equipped with a 5-speed ECM motor. Heating
and cooling speed selection is made by moving the switch on the
integrated control inside of the furnace. The furnace is shipped
Table 8 (page 33) for
Figure 28) from the
The door over the burners may only be open
for inspection purposes only. The door must be
installed during unattended operation.
1. Remove the burner compartment door.
2. Set the thermostat above room temperature and observe
the ignition sequence. NOTE: The burner flame should
carry over immediately between all burners without lifting
off, curling, or floating. The flames should be blue, without
yellow tips.
3. After validating the flame, change thermostat setting to
below room temperature.
4. Verify the burner flame is completely extinguished.
5. Replace the burner compartment door.
Verifying Operation of the Supply Air Limit
Switch
NOTE: A properly functioning limit switch should turn off
the gas valve when the return is blocked (time depends on
how well the return air is blocked). The circulating air and
combustion blowers should continue to run when the limit
switch opens.
1. Verify the blower door is securely mounted in place and
that there is power to the furnace.
2. Block the return airflow to the furnace by installing a closeoff plate in place of or upstream of the filter(s).
3. Set the thermostat above room temperature and observe
the Operating Sequence.
4. Remove the close-off immediately after the limit switch
opens. If the furnace continues to operate with no return
air, set the thermostat below room temperature, shut off
power to the furnace, and replace the limit switch.
System Operation
(Gas) Heating Mode
When the thermostat calls for heating, the circuit between R
and W is completed. The furnace control board initiates the
ignition sequence. Approximately 30 seconds after the gas
flame has proven, the blower motor will start. The blower will
continue to operate after the call for heat has been removed
for a selectable (switch on furnace control board) number of
seconds. NOTE: All on- and off-delays for heating continue
to be controlled by the furnace control board.
Cooling Mode
When the thermostat calls for cooling or heat pump heating,
the circuit between R, G, and Y (O is ignored by the blower)
is completed. The blower runs at the selected cooling motor
torque.
Manual Fan
Select the speed using the jumper on the control board.

Fault Conditions
There is a green and a red LED (labeled “Status”) on the
motor control board to provide system faults as described
below. Refer to
control board fault conditions.
Table 14 (page 40) to determine motor
OPERATING SEQUENCE
The operating sequences for the heating, cooling, and fan
modes are described below. Refer to the field and furnace
wiring diagrams:
Figure 31 (page 30)
Heating Cycle
1. The thermostat calls for heat by energizing the W terminal
with 24VAC.
2. The control verifies the pressure switch is open.
3. If the pressure switch is open, the control energizes the
inducer and waits for the pressure switch to close. The
pressure switch must close within 10 seconds.
4. The control runs the inducer for a 30 second pre-purge.
5. The control energizes the Hot Surface Igniter (HSI) output
for the appropriate warm-up time limit.
6. The control energizes the main gas valve for 3 seconds.
7. If the flame proved and ignites the gas, the control deenergizes the HSI. The gas valve and inducer remains
energized. The control goes to blower on delay.
8. If flame is present, the control energizes the blower on
the selected HEAT speed 30 seconds after the gas valve
opened. The gas valve and inducer remain energized.
9. When the thermostat demand for heat is satisfied, the
control de-energizes the gas valve. The Inducer output
remains on for a 30 second post-purge period.
10. Blower off timing begins when the thermostat is satisfied.
The control will operate at the selected HEAT speed of 60,
90, 120, or 180 seconds. If the blower off delay jumper is
not present, the fan should still operate for 120 seconds
at the selected HEAT speed. The Indoor blower motor
is de-energized after a blower off delay as selected by
the movable jumper.
Cooling Cycle
1. The thermostat calls for cooling by energizing the Y terminal
with 24VAC.
2. The control energizes the blower in cooling speed and
sends 24VAC to the contactor in the condensing unit
3. When the thermostat removes the call for cooling, the
contactor in the outdoor condensing unit is de-energized
and the control continues to run the fan for a period of 60
seconds.
Fan Mode
• When the thermostat energizes the G terminal for
continuous fan (without calling for heat or cooling), the
indoor fan is energized on the selected FAN speed. See
Figure 26 (page 24) for fan speed settings.
• If a call for cooling occurs during continuous fan, the
blower will switch over to the selected COOL speed.
• If the W terminal receives a call for heat during continuous
fan, the blower will de energize.
• A call for fan is ignored while in lockout.
Figure 25 (page 24), Figure 26 (page 24),
and Figure 32 (page 31).

covers in place.
• Verify the thermostat is properly installed and will not be
affected by drafts or heat from lamps or other appliances.
• To achieve the best performance and minimize equipment
failure it is recommended that a yearly maintenance
checkup be performed. At a minimum, this check should
include the following items:
Air Filter(s) - Air filter(s) are not supplied with the furnace as
shipped from the factory. The installer must provide a high
velocity filter that is appropriately sized to the return air duct
opening or external filter rack.
WARNING:
Never operate the furnace without a filter in place.
Dust and lint can build up on internal components,
resulting in loss of efficiency, equipment damage,
and possible fire.
It is recommended that filter(s) be 1” or 2” thick and be
cleaned or replaced monthly.
Filters designed to remove smaller particles such as pollen,
may require additional maintenance. Filters for side return
and bottom return applications are available from most local
distributors.
Blower Compartment - Dirt and lint can create excessive
loads on the motor resulting in higher than normal operating
temperatures and shortened service life. It is recommended
that the blower compartment be cleaned of dirt or lint that
may have accumulated in the compartment or on the blower
and motor as part of the annual inspection.

pipe to ensure they are not 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.
Heat Exchanger & Burner Maintenance - The furnace
should operate for many years without soot buildup in the
flue passageways, however, the flue, vent system, and
burners should be inspected and cleaned (if required) by a
qualified service technician annually to ensure continued safe
operation. Pay attention to any deterioration from corrosion
or other sources.
WARNING:
Holes in the vent pipe or heat exchanger can
cause combustion products to enter the home.
Replace the vent pipe or heat exchanger if leaks
are found. Failure to prevent the circulation of
combustion products 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 blower motor and inducer
blower used in these furnaces are pre-lubricated and sealed
by the manufacturer. No further oiling of the bearings is
required for the life of the motor.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the furnace fails to operate check the following:
• Is the thermostat operating properly?
• Are the blower compartment door(s) in place?
• Is the furnace disconnect closed?
• Has the circuit breaker tripped or the control board fuse
burned open?
• Is the gas turned on?
• Are any manual reset switches open?
• Is the filter dirty or plugged?
• Is the flame sensor coated? (Remove and clean with
steel wool. (Do not use emery cloth or sandpaper!)
• Is there blockage in the condensate drain switch? Also
verify that there is no double trapping of condensate.
• Is the secondary heat exchanger free of debris and
clogs?
• Is evaporator coil clean and free of debris (If applicable).
• Are all the LED’s on the furnace control board constantly
ON? If not, refer to
31 (page 30)
condition.
• Are all the LED’s on the motor control board constantly
ON? If not, refer to
The furnace will lock out after 5 failed attempts for ignition
and will try again every hour if the call for heat remains.
• If the Inducer Blower is operating, and items above have
been verified, check the Blower Limit Switch and reset if
necessary. See
for component location.
41)
• If the furnace operates when the Blower Limit Switch is
reset, contact a qualified service technician to identify
and repair the problem.
• If the furnace still doesn’t operate, check the Flame Roll-
out Switches and reset if necessary.
• If the furnace operates when the Flame Rollout Switch
is reset, contact a qualified service technician to identify
and repair the problem.

FURNACE COMPONENTS
The descriptions below are various functional components
that affect the operation and shutting down of this furnace.
Some of these components and their locations are shown
in
Figure 37 (page 41) or Figure 38 (page 41). If any
component of the furnace must be replaced, use only factory
authorized replacement parts specified in the Replacement
Parts List provided online.
Condensate Drain Switch: The Condensate Drain Switch
will shut down the furnace if the condensate drain from the
Collector Pan becomes clogged.
Blower Limit Switch: Prevents operation when blower is
not operational.
Flame Sensor: Verifies when a flame has carried over from
the igniter to the opposite end burner. If no flame is detected,
the furnace will shut down within 4 seconds.
Flame Roll-Out Switch: Verifies that the burner flames are
drawn into the heat exchanger tubes. If the burner flames are
not properly drawn into the heat exchanger, the flame roll-out
switch will close the gas valve and initiate the shutdown cycle.
Gas Valve: Controls the flow of gas to the burners. When the
gas valve is energized it automatically opens and regulates
the gas pressure in the manifold.
Inducer Assembly: Vents products of combustion to the
outside.
Pressure Switches: Verifies that the inducer is drawing
the combustion gases through the heat exchanger. The
pressure switch prevents furnace operation with excessive
flue/condensate blockage or improper inducer operation.
Supply Air Limit Switch: Prevents the air temperature
leaving the furnace from exceeding the maximum allowable
outlet air temperature.
