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

• Exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply may require outdoor air for combustion:
Permanent wave solutions Chlorinated waxes and cleaners Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals Water softening chemicals De-icing salts or chemicals Carbon Tetrachloride Halogen type refrigerants Cleaning solvents (perchloroethylene) Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc. Hydrochloric Acid Cements and glues Antistatic fabric softeners Masonry acid washing materials
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.
Installation in a Garage
WARNING:
Do not place combustible material on or against the furnace cabinet or within 6 inches of the vent pipe. Do not place combustible materials, including gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids, in the vicinity of the furnace.
This gas-fired furnace may be installed in a residential garage with the provision that the burners and igniter are located no less than 18 inches (457mm) above the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to prevent physical damage by vehicles.
Clearances to Combustible Materials

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.

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).

Alternate Method of Providing Air from Outside
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.

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.

termination to windows and building air intakes.
• 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.
Figure 7 & Figure 8 and in accordance

Termination spacing requirements from the roof and from each other are shown in be properly flashed and waterproofed with a plumbing roof boot or equivalent flashing. Vent and combustion air piping may be installed in an existing chimney which is not in use 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 section ( be J-trapped using field supplied parts. After the condensate lines are J-trapped, they may be combined together when routed to the drain.

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

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
Figure 29 and Figure 30.

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.
Table 10 & Table 11 (page 34) contain the manifold pressure
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.

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
regulator pressure. See
EXAMPLE
Elevation: ......................................................5,000 feet
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.

• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet above the floor on an inside wall. DO NOT install the thermostat on an outside wall or any other location where its operation may be adversely affected by radiant heat from fireplaces, sunlight, or lighting fixtures, and convective heat from warm air registers or electrical appliances. Refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s instruction sheet for detailed mounting information.
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.

Heating/Cooling Applications
• Both furnaces must have a common return duct and common supply plenum.
• Both furnaces must be the same phase and on the same leg of power.
• Furnaces equipped with variable speed iSEER™
motors may not be twinned under any circumstances.
For twinning of single stage furnaces equipped with fixed speed blowers, refer to Figure 27 and the following instructions:
1. Turn off all power to both furnaces.
2. Attach a wire between the two twin terminals on the blower
control boards. Use field supplied wire and 3/16” wire terminals.
NOTE: One furnace can be used for one stage of heating and the other furnace can be used for the second stage of heating. The installer also has the choice of running one furnace only or both furnaces. In both cases the blowers will run at the same time and at the same speeds:
One stage heating
• Connect the thermostat wires to the primary furnace control board. Mount the relay on the bracket on the secondary furnace.
• Connect W from the primary furnace to the coil side of the relay (using field supplied wire and 3/16” terminals).

Heat Anticipator
Set the heat anticipator according to the instructions supplied by the thermostat manufacturer. To determine the heat 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.

from the factory pre-wired for 4 blower speeds. There is a fifth alternate speed available on the motor. To utilize the alternate speed, remove the wire at the motor plug of the desired speed to be changed (H, MH, ML, L). Reconnect this wire to the alternate 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).
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property damage.
• Before servicing, disconnect all electrical
power to furnace.
• When servicing controls, label all wires prior
to disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.
• Proper maintenance is most important to achieve the best performance from a furnace. Follow these instructions for years of safe, trouble free operation.
• These maintenance instructions are primarily intended to assist qualified technicians experienced in the proper maintenance and operation of this appliance.
• Always reinstall the doors on the furnace after servicing.
Do not operate the furnace without all doors and 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.
27
Page 28
Cleaning of Burners - If the burners must be cleaned, follow steps 1-12. See
for component location.
41)
1. Shut off gas supply to the furnace at the meter or at a manual valve in the supply piping.
2. Turn off all power to the furnace and set the thermostat to it’s lowest setting.
3. Remove the burner door from the furnace.
4. Turn the gas control switch to the OFF position.
5. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve, igniter, flame sensor, and flame rollout switch.
Figure 37 (page 41) or Figure 38 (page
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the unit or internal components, it is recommended that two wrenches be used when loosening or tightening nuts. Do not over tighten!
6. Using two wrenches, separate the ground-joint union in the gas supply piping at the furnace.
7. Remove the piping between the Gas Valve and the ground­joint union. (If applicable).
8. Remove all screws securing the Manifold Assembly to the Burner Box.
9. Carefully remove the burner assembly from the furnace.
DO NOT DAMAGE THE IGNITER WHILE REMOVING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY.
10. Inspect the burners for accumulated dust or debris. If
necessary carefully clean them with a soft wire brush and a vacuum cleaner. DO NOT DAMAGE THE IGNITER
WHILE CLEANING THE BURNER.
11. Replace all the parts in reverse order from which they
were removed.
12. Follow the lighting instructions found on the furnace door to return the furnace to operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Vent System - Check the inlet pipe (if applicable) and outlet 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.
