SAFETY
Safety Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Central cooling and heating equipment is only as efficient as the duct system that carries the cooled or heated air. To maintain effi­ciency, comfort and good indoor air quality, it is important to have the proper balance between the air being supplied to each room and the air returning to the cooling and heating equipment.
Proper balance and sealing of the duct system improves the effi­ciency of the heating and air conditioning system and improves the indoor air quality of the home by reducing the amount of air­borne pollutants that enter homes from spaces where the duct­work and / or equipment is located. The manufacturer and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program recommend that central duct systems be checked by a qualified contractor for proper balance and sealing.

1. IMPORTANT: If installing the unit over a finished ceiling or liv- ing area, be certain to install an auxiliary condensate drain pan under the entire unit. This auxiliary drain pan should extend under any evaporator coil installed with the furnace.
2. IMPORTANT: If using a cooling evaporator coil with this fur- nace, be sure the air passes over the heat exchanger before passing over the cooling coil. The cooled air passing over the warm ambient air inside the heat exchanger tubes can cause condensation inside the tubes resulting in corrosion and even­tual failure.
If there are manual dampers, they must be equipped to prevent heating or cooling operation unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
3. NOTE: This furnace is shipped with heat exchanger support brackets installed under the back of the heat exchanger. These may be removed before installation, but it is not required.
4. IMPORTANT:
This furnace is not approved or recommended
for installation on its back, with access doors facing upwards.
5. This furnace is suitable for installation in buildings constructed on-site. This heating unit should be centralized with respect to the heat distribution system as much as practicable.
6. NOTE: These furnaces are approved for installation in attics, as well as alcoves, utility rooms, closets and crawlspaces.
7. IMPORTANT:
Support this unit when installed. For attic or crawl space installation, horizontal furnaces may be installed on com­bustible wood flooring or by using support brackets. See Figure
3.
8. IMPORTANT:
If installing in a utility room, be sure the door is
wide enough to:
a. allow the largest part of the furnace to pass; or
b. allow any other appliance (such as a water heater) to pass.
SITE SELECTION
1. Select a site in the building near the center of the pro­posed, or existing, duct system.
2. Give consideration to the vent system piping when se­lecting the furnace location. Be sure the venting system can get from the furnace to the termination with minimal length and elbows.
3. Locate the furnace near the existing gas piping. Or, if running a new gas line, locate the furnace to minimize the length and elbows in the gas piping. See Figure 3.
4. Locate the furnace to maintain proper clearance to combustibles as shown in following Figure 4.
CLEARANCE – ACCESSIBILITY
The design of forced air furnaces with input ratings as listed in the tables under Figure 4 are certified by CSA-In­ternational for the clearances to combustible materials shown in inches.
See name/rating plate and clearance label for specific model number and clearance information.
Service clearance of at least 24 inches (30 cm) is recom­mended in front of all furnaces.
NOTE: Use recommended 24” (30 cm) clearance if accessi­bility clearances are greater than fire protection clearances.
ACCESSIBILITY CLEARANCES, WHERE GREATER, MUST TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER FIRE PROTECTION CLEAR­ANCES.

Proper air flow is required for the correct operation of this furnace. Restricted air flow can cause erratic operation and can damage the heat exchanger. The duct system must carry the correct amount of air for heating and cooling if summer air conditioning is used.
IMPORTANT: When using outside air, design and adjust the system to maintain a return air temperature ABOVE 55° F during the heating season.
NOTE: Return air grilles and warm air registers must not be obstructed or closed.
UPFLOW INSTALLATIONS
1. Position the unit to minimize long runs of duct or runs of duct with many turns and elbows.
2. For side return: Cut an opening in the side. The open­ing should be cut the full width and height of the knockouts on the unit. See Figure 6.
3. If summer air conditioning is desired, position the in­door coil on the supply-air side of the unit. Ensure that no air can bypass the coil.
4. Connect the furnace to the supply air plenum. See Fig­ure 7.
5. Connect the return air ducting to the return-air opening at the bottom and/or side of the unit. Make the connec­tions air-tight to prevent the migration of toxic fumes and odors including carbon monoxide from migrating into the living space.
6. If a filter is installed near the furnace, be sure to have adequate space for installation and removal of the unit filter.
7. NOTE: Where the maximum airflow is 1800 CFM or more, BOTH
sides or the bottom must be used for the return air. Do not take return air from the back of the unit.
NOTE: DO NOT take return air from furnace rooms, garages or cold areas. Avoid return air from utility rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms.

Combustion Air
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
1. IMPORTANT:
Air for combustion and ventilation must not come from a corrosive atmosphere. Any failure due to corro­sive elements in the atmosphere is excluded from warranty coverage.
2. Combustion air must be free of acid forming chemicals; such as sulphur, fluorine and chlorine. These elements are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, air fresheners, paint and varnish removers, refrigerants and many other commercial and household products. Vapors from these products when burned in a gas flame form acid compounds. The acid compounds increase the dew point temperature of the flue products and are highly corrosive after they condense.
3. The following types of installation may require OUTDOOR AIR for combustion, due to chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
• Furnaces in hobby or craft rooms
• Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.
4. If combustion air is exposed to the following substances (but not limited to the following), it should not be used and the fur­nace 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 (such as perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
• Masonry curing and acid washing materials
Combustion air requirements are determined by whether the fur­nace is in an open (unconfined) area or in a confined space such as a closet or small room.
When the furnace is installed in the same space with other gas ap­pliances, such as a water heater, be sure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the furnace and the other appliances. Do not delete or reduce the combustion air sup­ply required by the other gas appliances in this space. See Z223.1, National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54). An unconfined space must have at least 50 cubic feet (volume) for each 1,000 BTUH of the total input of all appliances in the space. If the open space contain­ing the appliances is in a building with tight construction (contem­porary construction), outside air may still be required for the appliances to burn and vent properly. Outside air openings should be sized the same as for a confined space.
IMPORTANT: ONLY THE CURRENT VENT INSTRUCTIONS APPLY. All gas furnaces cannot be common-vented.
OVERTEMPERATURE SAFETY SWITCHES
Furnaces are equipped with safety switches in the burner com­partment to protect against over-temperature conditions caused by inadequate combustion air supply. If a switch is tripped it must be manually reset after clearing the fault condition which caused it to open.
IMPORTANT:
This is not a direct vent furnace. Review venting
instructions before installing.
!
WARNING
THIS FURNACE AND ANY OTHER FUEL-BURNING APPLI­ANCE MUST BE PROVIDED WITH ENOUGH FRESH AIR FOR PROPER COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OF THE FLUE GASES. MOST HOMES WILL REQUIRE THAT OUT­SIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED INTO THE FURNACE AREA. FAIL­URE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
!
WARNING
ADEQUATE FACILITIES FOR PROVIDING AIR FOR COM­BUSTION AND VENTILATION MUST BE PROVIDED IN AC­CORDANCE WITH SECTION 5.3, AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION, OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI, Z223.1 LATEST EDITION OR APPLICABLE PROVI­SIONS FOR THE LOCAL BUILDING CODES, AND NOT OBSTRUCTED SO AS TO PREVENT THE FLOW OF AIR TO THE FURNACE.

!
WARNING
DO NOT BYPASS, JUMPER, OR REMOVE ANY SAFETY SWITCH FROM THE FURNACE CONTROL CIRCUIT. IF A SAFETY SWITCH CAUSES THE FURNACE TO SHUT DOWN OR OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY, IT IS AN INDICA­TION OF A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN, SERVICE AGENCY OR THE GAS SUPPLIER. DO NOT RESET SAFETY CONTROLS WITHOUT CORRECTIVE ACTION AND/OR VERIFICATION OF PROPER SAFE OPERATION BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY OR THE GAS SUPPLIER.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR (cont.)
For improved indoor air quality, added safety and product per­formance we recommend direct vent type installations. If non-di­rect type vent system is used, the requirements for combustion air must be provided as identified in the National Fuel Gas Code.
Combustion air requirements are determined by whether the fur­nace is in an open (unconfined) area or in a confined space such as a closet or small room.
FURNACE LOCATED IN AN UNCON­FINED SPACE
USING INDOOR AIR FOR COMBUSTION:
An unconfined space must have at least 50 cubic feet for each 1,000 BTUH of total input for all appliances in the space. Table 1 below specifies minimum space requirements and a few exam­ples of the room sizes required for different inputs. The sizes are based on 8-foot ceilings.
If the open space containing the furnace is in a building with tight construction, outside air may still be required for the furnace to operate and vent properly. Outside air openings should be sized the same as for a confined space.
FURNACE LOCATED IN A CONFINED SPACE
A confined space is defined as any space for a given furnace input rating which is smaller than that which is specified in Table 1 as minimum for an “unconfined” space. If the space is less than that specified in this table, the space is defined as
“confined”.
If the space is small enough to be designated as “confined”, it must have openings into the space which are located in accor­dance with the requirements set forth in the following subsections A and B. Size connected to the heated area or to the outside, and by the input of ALL
appliances in the space.
If the confined space is within a building with tight construction, combustion air must be taken from outdoors or from an area freely communicating with the outdoors.
A. USING INDOOR AIR FOR COMBUSTION:
IMPORTANT: Air should not be taken from a heated space
with a fireplace, exhaust fan or other device that may pro­duce negative pressure.
If combustion air is taken from the heated area, the openings must each have at least 100 square inches of free area. Each opening must have at least one square inch of free area for each 1,000 BTUH of total input in the space. Table 2 shows some typical examples of openings required for com­bustion air openings required for a confined space.
B. USING OUTDOOR AIR FOR COMBUSTION:
IMPORTANT: Do not take air from an attic space that is
equipped with power ventilation. The confined space must communicate with the outdoors in
accordance with Methods 1 or 2 below. The minimum dimen­sion of air openings shall not be less than 3 inches. Where ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross-sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they connect.
METHOD 1:
Two permanent openings, one located within 12 inches of the top and one located within 12 inches of the bottom of the en­closure, shall be provided. The openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors.

It is also acceptable to run the condensate drain (or refriger­ant) line access over the air intake hole as long as a 1" mini­mum clearance is maintained.
Combustion air openings must not be restricted in any manner.
IMPORTANT: When indoor combustion air is used, the inlet air opening at the furnace must be protected from accidental block­age.
IMPORTANT:
If the furnace is in a location with an exhaust fan, there must be sufficient ventilation to prevent the exhaust fan from creating a negative pressure in the room.
Combustion air openings must NOT BE RESTRICTED in any manner.
CONSULT LOCAL CODES FOR SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS.
B: Method 3
For the optimum in quiet operation, attic air may be brought di­rectly to the furnace.
IMPORTANT: In applications using Method 3 for combustion air, the attic must be ventilated by gable or soffit vents.
COMBUSTION AIR FROM ATTIC
If attic combustion air is used, the inlet air opening at the furnace must be protected from accidental blockage. Install a 90° elbow pointing horizontally at the top of inlet air pipe. See Figure 14 (maximum of 2, 45° or 90° elbows, allowed).
NOTE: Maximum length of pipe that may be used for combustion air is 10 feet with two elbows. Lengths of more than 10 feet can result in nuisance pressure switch trips.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The furnace must be vented in accordance with these instructions, National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and requirements or codes of the local utility or other authority having jurisdiction.
DRAFT INDUCER
FURNACE CATEGORY INFORMATION
This furnace is shipped as a Category I type induced draft fur­nace. A Category I furnace operates with a nonpositive vent pres­sure and has a vent gas temperature at least 140°F above the dew point of the vent gases. A Category I type may be a draft hood equipped furnace or have a fan assisted combustion sys­tem (induced draft). The inducer is used to pull flue products through the combustion chamber and as they leave the furnace, most of the energy has been dissipated. The buoyant effect of the flue gases provides venting to the outdoors.
During the off cycle, the inducer is off and there is very little flow through the vent, cooling the vent. During the on cycle there is no dilution airflow, as with a draft hood type furnace. Although the vent heats up rapidly without dilution air, the flue products contain more water vapor, which results in a higher dew point tempera­ture. It is most important that you follow the guidelines in these instructions to prevent the possible formation of condensation in the venting system.
As a Category I furnace it may be vented vertically with type B-1 vent pipe and also may be common vented, as described in these instructions.
IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTES
When the furnace is used as a replacement, the existing vent system should be inspected to assure that there are no obstruc­tions, blockage, or any signs of corrosion and is properly sized for use with this furnace.
NOTE: When the vent table permits more than one diameter of pipe for a connector or vent, the smallest permitted diameter must be used.
Vent pipe may be type “B-1,” either rigid or suitable flexible con­struction that carries a U.L. listing.
Common venting is allowed with vertical B-1 vent systems, and lined masonry chimneys. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
NOTE: Follow combustion air instructions as outlined in this man­ual.
Single wall vent connectors to “B-1 vent or masonry chimneys” may be used under the guidelines of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
The entire length of the vent connector shall be readily ac­cessible for inspection, cleaning and replacement.
“B-1” VERTICAL VENTING
NOTE: Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Type “B-1” vents must be installed in accordance with the terms of their listings and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
“B-1” vents must be supported and spaced in accordance with their listings and the manufacturer’s instructions. All vents must be supported to maintain their minimum clearances from com­bustible material.
*NOTE: All furnaces have a 3” vent connection as shipped from the fac­tory. A 3” to 4”, 3” to 5”, or 4” to 5” vent transition may be required when vertically vented or common vented with metal vent pipes. THE VENT
TRANSITION CONNECTION MUST BE MADE AT THE FURNACE VENT EXIT. It must originate with an adapter if required, at the furnace
flue collar and terminate either in a listed cap or roof assembly. When common venting, the vent connector size may differ from the above diam­eters depending on application. See National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 or latest edition tables.

VERTICAL VENT SYSTEMS:
1. A gas vent shall terminate above the roof surface with a listed cap or listed roof assembly. Gas vents 12 inches in size or smaller with listed caps shall be permitted to be terminated in accordance with Figure 15, provided they are at least 8 feet from a vertical wall or similar obstruction. All other gas vents shall terminate not less than 2 feet above the highest point where they pass through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within 10 feet.
2. A type B-1 gas vent shall terminate at least 5 feet in vertical height above the highest connected equipment draft hood or flue collar.
3. Must rise
1
/4” per foot away from the furnace on horizontal runs and be supported with straps or hangers so it has no sags or dips. Supports at 4 foot intervals and at all elbows are recom­mended.
4. The vent connector must be mechanically fastened to the out­let collar of the furnace with at least (2) sheet metal screws ex­cept vent connectors that are B-1 material. These shall be assembled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. See Figures 16 and 17.
5. Any angle greater than 45 degrees from the vertical is consid­ered horizontal. The total horizontal distance of a vent plus the horizontal vent connector serving draft-hood equipped appli­ances shall not be greater than 75 percent of the vertical height of the vent.
Single appliance venting of a fan assisted furnace into a tile-lined masonry chimney is prohibited. The chimney must be lined with either Type B vent or with a listed, single wall, metal lining sys­tem. Reference National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. See Fig­ure 18 for typical B-1 vent chase.

EXISTING VENT SYSTEMS
IMPORTANT RETROFIT VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
If this furnace is a replacement installation, ALWAYS INSPECT the existing vent system to be sure there are no obstructions, blockages, or signs of corrosion.
When the existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance that re­mains connected to the common venting system, while the other appliances that remain connected to the common venting sys­tems are not in operation.
NOTE: When the vent table permits more than one diameter of pipe for a connector or vent, the smallest permitted diam­eter must be used.1. Seal any unused openings in the com­mon venting system.
NOTE: Ensure existing venting system complies with latest addi-
tion of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and all local codes/regulations.
1. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and hori­zontal pitch and determine that there is no blockage, restric­tion, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
2. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the space where the appliances remaining con­nected to the common venting system are located. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the com­mon venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maxi­mum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fire­place dampers.
3. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being in­spected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.
4. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
5. After it has been determined that each appliance that remains connected to the common venting system properly vents (when tested as outlined above) return doors, windows, ex­haust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appli­ance to their previous conditions of use.
6. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the common venting system must be resized. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

WARNING
• FURNACES USING PROPANE GAS ARE DIFFER­ENT FROM NATURAL GAS MODELS. A NATURAL GAS HEATER WILL NOT FUNCTION SAFELY ON PROPANE AND VICE VERSA. CONVERSIONS OF HEATER GAS TYPE SHOULD ONLY BE MADE BY QUALIFIED INSTALLERS USING FACTORY SUP­PLIED COMPONENTS. THE FURNACE SHOULD ONLY USE THE FUEL TYPE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LISTING ON RATING PLATE. ANY OTHER FUEL USAGE WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERI­OUS PERSONAL INJURY FROM FIRE AND/OR EX­PLOSION.
• BOTH NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE HAVE AN ODORANT ADDED TO AID IN DETECTING A GAS LEAK. SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT PHYSICALLY BE ABLE TO SMELL OR RECOGNIZE THIS ODORANT. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OR UNFAMILIAR WITH THE SMELL OF NATURAL GAS OR PROPANE, ASK YOUR LOCAL GAS SUPPLIER. OTHER CONDI­TIONS, SUCH AS “ODORANT FADE,” WHICH CAUSES THE ODORANT TO DIMINISH IN INTEN­SITY, CAN ALSO HIDE, CAMOUFLAGE, OR OTH­ERWISE MAKE DETECTING A GAS LEAK BY SMELL MORE DIFFICULT.
• UL OR CSA RECOGNIZED FUEL GAS DETECTORS ARE RECOMMENDED IN ALL ENCLOSED PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS APPLICATIONS WHEREIN THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR AN EXPLO­SIVE MIXTURE OF FUEL GAS TO ACCUMULATE. FUEL DETECTOR INSTALLATION SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DETECTOR MANUFAC­TURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS AND/OR LOCAL LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, OR CUSTOMS.
• BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT THE FURNACE, MAKE SURE TO LOOK AND SMELL FOR GAS LEAKS. USE A SOAPY SOLUTION TO CHECK ALL GAS FITTINGS AND CONNECTIONS.
BUBBLING AT A CONNECTION INDICATES A LEAK THAT MUST BE CORRECTED. WHEN SMELLING TO DETECT A GAS LEAK, BE SURE TO ALSO SNIFF NEAR THE FLOOR. PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND TENDS TO COLLECT AT LOWER LEVELS MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SMELL AT NOSE LEVEL. NATURAL GAS IS LIGHTER THAN AIR
AND WILL RISE, POSSIBLY ACCUMULATING IN HIGHER PORTIONS OF THE STRUCTURE.
• IF A GAS LEAK IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:
- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND THE CAUSE YOUR­SELF.
- NEVER
USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR GAS LEAKS. THE GAS CAN IGNITE RESULTING IN DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
-DO NOTTRY TO LIGHT ANY APPLIANCE.
-DO NOT
TOUCH AND ELECTRICAL SWITCH.
-DO NOT
USE ANY PHONE IN YOUR BUILDING.
- LEAVE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY AND CALL THE GAS SUPPLIER FROM A NEIGHBOR’S PHONE. FOLLOW THE GAS SUPPLIER’S INTRUC­TIONS.
- IF YOU CANNOT REACH YOUR GAS SUPPLIER, CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
- DO NOT RETURN TO THE BUILDING UNTIL AU­THORIZED BY THE GAS SUPPLIER OR FIRE DE­PARTMENT.
• SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, TURN OFF THE MAN­UAL GAS CONTROL VALVE TO THE FURNACE.
• CONSULT WITH THE LOCAL BUILDING DEPART
­MENT AND FUEL GAS SUPPLIER BEFORE IN­STALLING THE HEATER:
- THE INSTALLATION AND PURGING OF GAS PIP­ING MUST CONFORM TO LOCAL CODES, UTIL­ITY COMPANY REQUIREMENTS, AND THE LATEST EDITION OF NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE (NFGC) - ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
- LP FURNACES SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED BELOW GRADE (IN A BASEMENT FOR EXAM­PLE) IF SUCH INSTALLATION IS PROHIBITED BY FEDERAL, STATE, PROVINCIAL, AND/OR LOCAL LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, OR CUSTOMS.
- INSTALLATION OF A GAS PRESSURE REGULA­TOR MAY BE REQUIRED IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE. THE REGULATOR SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM SUPPLY PRESSURE LISTED ON THE FURNACE RATING PLATE. DO NOT USE AN INDUSTRIAL-TYPE GAS REGULATOR.
- FOLLOW ALL LOCAL CODES AND SECTION 8.3 OF NFGC WITH REGARD TO PURGING OF GAS PIPING TO ENSURE THAT THE AIR AND/OR FUEL GAS IN THE GAS PIPING IS PROPERLY VENTED TO A LOCATION WHERE AN EXPLOSIVE MIX­TURE CANNOT ACCUMULATE.

GAS SUPPLY
IMPORTANT:
Any additions, changes or conversions required for the furnace to satisfactorily meet the application should be made by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier, using factory-specified or approved parts.
IMPORTANT:
Connect this furnace only to gas supplied by a commercial utility or commercial fuel provider.
IMPORTANT:
A U.L. or CSA recognized fuel gas and CO detec­tor(s) are recommended in all applications, and their installation should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s recom­mendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
Install the gas piping according to all local codes, state codes and regulations of the utility company, whichever holds jurisdiction.
If possible, run a separate gas supply line directly from the meter to the furnace. Consult the local gas company for the location of the manual main shut-off valve. The gas line and manual gas
valve must be adequate in size to prevent undue pressure drop and never smaller than the pipe size to the combination gas valve on the furnace. Refer to Table 6 for the recom mended
pipe size for natural gas and Table 7 for LP gas pipe sizes.
IMPORTANT:
It is permissible to run flexible gas connector inside the unit to a piece of black pipe. If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance connector, always use a new listed connec­tor. Do not use a connector which has previously serviced another gas appliance. Massachusetts law limits flexible gas connectors to a maximum of 36”.
Install a ground joint union outside the cabinet and within 3 feet to easily remove the control valve assembly. Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line outside the furnace cas­ing. The valve should be readily accessible to turn the gas supply
on or off. Install a drip leg in the gas supply line as close to the fur­nace as possible. Always use a pipe compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases on all threaded connections.
IMPORTANT:
When making gas pipe connections, use a back-up wrench to prevent any twisting of the control assembly and gas valve. Do not overtighten the connection.
Any strains on the gas valve can change the position of the gas orifices in the burners. This can cause erratic furnace operation.
IMPORTANT:
ENSURE that the furnace gas control valve not be
subjected to high gas line supply pressures.
DISCONNECT the furnace and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing that exceeds
1/2 PSIG (3.48 kPa).
