NOTE: A heat loss calculation should be performed to properly determine the required furnace BTU size for the structure. Also, the duct must be properly designed and in-

talled for proper airflow. Existing ductwork must be in-

s spected for proper size and to make sure that it is properly sealed. Proper airflow is necessary for both user comfort and equipment performance.

Before opening the furnace carton, verify that the data tags on the carton specify the furnace model number that was ordered from the distributor and are correct for the installation. If not, return the unit without opening the carton. If the model number is correct, open the carton and verify that the furnace rating label specifies the same furnace model number that is specified on the carton label. If the model numbers do not match, return the furnace to the distributor.

IMPORTANT: Proper application, installation and maintenance of this furnace and system is a must if consumers are to receive the full benefits for which they have paid.

The (-)97V series furnaces are design-certified by CSA for use with natural and propane gases as follows:

1. As non-direct vent central forced air furnaces taking combustion air from the installation area or using air ducted from the outside.

2. As direct vent central forced air furnaces with all combustion air supplied directly to the furnace burners through a special air intake system outlined in these instructions.Install this furnace in accordance with the American National Standard Z223.1 – latest edition entitled “National Fuel Gas Code” (NFPA54) or, for Canada, CSA B149.1; Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and requirements or codes of the local utilities or other authorities having jurisdiction.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

IMPORTANT: All manufacturer products meet current

Federal OSHA Guidelines for safety. California Proposition 65 warnings are required for certain products, which are not covered by the OSHA standards.

California's Proposition 65 requires warnings for products sold in California that contain, or produce, any of over 600 listed chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects such as fiberglass insulation, lead in brass, and combustion products from natural gas.

All “new equipment” shipped for sale in California will have labels stating that the product contains and/or produces Proposition 65 chemicals. Although we have not changed our processes, having the same label on all our products facilitates manufacturing and shipping. We cannot always know “when, or if” products will be sold in the California market.

You may receive inquiries from customers about chemicals found in, or produced by, some of our heating and airconditioning equipment, or found in natural gas used with some of our products. Listed below are those chemicals and substances commonly associated with similar equipment in our industry and other manufacturers.

• Glass Wool (Fiberglass) Insulation

• Carbon Monoxide (CO)

• Formaldehyde

• Benzene

More details are available at the Websites for OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), at www.osha.gov and the State of California's OEHHA (Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment), at www.oehha.org. Consumer education is important since the chemicals and substances on the list are found in our daily lives. Most consumers are aware that products present safety and health risks, when improperly used, handled and maintained.

EFFICIENCY TESTING NOTICE

For purposes of verifying or testing efficiency ratings, the test procedure in Title 10 APPENDIX N to Subpart B of Part 430 (Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption of Furnaces and Boilers) and the clarifying provisions provided in the AHRI Operations Manual for Residential Furnaces that were applicable at the date of manufacture should be used for test set up and performance.

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 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.

External filter racks are available from the distributor. Use the following part numbers when ordering:

RXGF-CA External Side Filter Rack Kit RXGF-CB External Bottom Filter Rack Kit

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.

WARNING

!

SOME HEATING AIRFLOW VALUES MAY BE HIGHER THAN THOSE REQUIRED FOR COOLING. BE SURE TO SIZE DUCT FOR THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE AIRFLOW VALUE.

SIZE AIRFLOW DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM TO ACCEPTABLE INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND METHODS. TOTAL STATIC PRESSURE DROP OF THE AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1.0 INCHES W.C. THIS WILL INCLUDE ANY AIR CONDITIONER COIL, AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM, ZONING SYSTEM, DUCTWORK, ETC. REFER TO ADDED EQUIPMENT TECHNICAL INFORMATION TO OBTAIN PRESSURE DROP INFORMATION WHEN EQUIPMENT IS OPERATING AT RECOMMENDED HEATING OR COOLING CFMS.

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.

NOTE:Both flanges on the supply and return openings must be bent either up or down but cannot remain flat as shipped from the factory. See Figure 8 for details.

WARNING

!

THE SOLID METAL BASE PAN MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE TOP OF THE FURNACE BEFORE INSTALLING THE FURNACE. FAILURE TO REMOVE THIS PAN FROM THE SHIPPING POSITION CAN RESULT TO DAMAGE TO THE FURNACE OR EQUIPMENT.

WARNING

!

BLOWER AND BURNERS MUST NEVER BE OPERATED WITHOUT THE BLOWER DOOR IN PLACE. THIS IS TO PREVENT DRAWING GAS FUMES (WHICH COULD CONTAIN HAZARDOUS CARBON MONOXIDE) INTO THE HOME THAT COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

FIGURE 6

ST-A1194-49

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 9.

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.

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.

NOTE: DO NOT take return air from furnace rooms, garages or cold areas. Avoid return air from utility rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms.

VENTING & COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

!

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS

Venting

SECTION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT THIS FURNACE CAN CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, OR AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

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 BUILDINGS WILL REQUIRE THAT OUTSIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED INTO THE FURNACE AREA. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. REFER TO SECTION TITLED “NON-DIRECT VENT- ING” TO DETERMINE IF THE FURNACE MUST USE OUTSIDE AIR FOR COMBUSTION.

This furnace removes both sensible and latent heat from the combustion gases. Removal of latent heat results in the condensation of flue gas water vapor. This condensed water vapor drains from the secondary heat exchanger and out of the unit into the drain trap.

When installed as a non-direct vent furnace, only exhaust piping is required and inside combustion air may be used. Refer to the section on “NON-DIRECT VENTING.”

Direct vent installations require a dedicated combustion air and venting system. All air for combustion is taken from the outside atmosphere and all combustion products are discharged to the outdoors.

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), in Canada CSA B149.1; Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and The National Fire Code of Canada, or applicable provisions for the local building codes, and not obstructed so as to prevent the flow of air to the furnace.

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 the warranty coverage.

Combustion air must be free of acid-forming chemicals such as sulfur, 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. When burned in a gas flame, vapors from these products form acid compounds. The acid compounds increase the dew point temperature of the flue products and are highly corrosive after they condense.

The following types of installations (but not limited to the following) may require outdoor air for combustion (direct vent) due to chemical exposures:

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 (direct vent).

!

ALL FURNACE INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, IN CANADA CSA B149.1; CANADIAN NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE AND THE NATIONAL FIRE CODE OF CANADA, NFPA 54 AND LOCAL CODES TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR FOR THE FURNACE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION, FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

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), in Canada CSA B149.1; Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and The National Fire Code of Canada, for determining the combustion air requirements for gas appliances. 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.

GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS AND

GUIDELINES

VENTING & COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS (cont.)

MPORTANT: ONLY THE CURRENT VENT INSTRUC-

I TIONS APPLY. All 90 Plus Gas Furnaces cannot be com-

mon-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. The switches are located in the burner compartment. If a switch is tripped it must be manually reset after clearing the fault condition which caused it to open.

!

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.

REPLACE ANY SAFETY CONTROL COMPONENT ONLY WITH IDENTICAL OEM REPLACEMENT PARTS

MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

PIPING REQUIREMENTS

The combustion air and vent pipe fittings must conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards D1785 (Schedule 40 PVC), D2665 (PVC-DWV), D2241 (SDR-21 & SDR26-26 PVC), D2661 (ABS-DWV) or F628 (Schedule 40 ABS-DWV). For Canada PVC, CPVC and polypropylene venting can be used and must conform with ULCS-636C requirements.

IMPORTANT: The plastic combustion air and venting components are of Schedule 40 PVC. If using ABS piping, ensure that the solvent cement is compatible for joining PVC to ABS components or use a mechanical connection that can withstand the vent temperatures and is corrosion resistant.

NOTE: Schedule 40 ABS-DWV pipe and fittings may be used as an alternate to PVC pipe for the combustion air inlet and vent pipes.

NOTE: Cellular core PVC is also approved for use. It must be Schedule 40PVC-DWV cellular pipe for nonpressure applications and manufactured under ASTM-F-

891. All exhaust piping must be installed in compliance with

the chapter titled; “Venting of Appliances” in the latest

dition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA-54/ANSI

e Z223.1, CSA B149.1; Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (Canada), local codes or ordinances and these instructions.

WARNING

!

IN CANADA, PRODUCTS CERTIFIED FOR INSTALLATION AND INTENDED TO BE VENTED WITH PLASTIC VENT SYSTEMS (PVC, CVPC & POLYPROPYLENE) MUST USE VENT SYSTEMS THAT ARE CERTIFIED TO THE STANDARD FOR TYPE BH GAS VENTING SYSTEMS, ULC S636.

THE COMPONENTS OF THE CERTIFIED MATERIAL MUST NOT BE INTERCHANGED WITH OTHER VENT SYSTEMS OR UNLISTED PIPE/FITTINGS.

PLASTIC COMPONENTS AND SPECIFIED PRIMERS AND GLUES OF THE CERTIFIED SYSTEM MUST BE FROM A SINGLE SYSTEM MANUFACTURER AND NOT INTERMIXED WITH OTHER SYSTEM MANUFACTURER’S PARTS.

VENT TERMINATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AS THE REST OF THE VENTING BUT VENT TERMINATIONS MUST BE ULC S636 APPROVED.

NOTE: WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TERMINATION INLET AIR PIPING IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A PART OF THE “VENTING SYSTEM”. THE REQUIREMENT THAT VENT MATERIAL BE CERTIFIED TO ULC S636 DOES NOT APPLY TO INLET AIR PIPING.

REGARDLESS, ALL TERMINATIONS ON BOTH INLET AND OUTLET PIPES MUST BE CONSTRUCTED FROM COMPONENTS BUILT TO ULC-S636 REQUIREMENTS.

1. All horizontal piping must slope upward from the fur-

nace with a minimum slope of ¼ inch per foot of horizontal vent so that condensate drains back toward the furnace.

2. All horizontal runs must be supported at least every 4

feet. No sags or dips are permitted.

3. IMPORTANT: Do not common vent with any other

appliance. Do not install in the same chase or chimney with a metal or high temperature plastic pipe from another gas or fuel-burning appliance unless the required minimum clearances to combustibles are maintained between the plastic pipe and other pipes. For Canada PVC, CPVC and polypropylene can be used as long as they conform with ULCS-636C requirements.

4. All vent installed through unconditioned spaces where

below-freezing temperatures are expected must be insulated with an approved insulating material. Materials such as Armaflex or Rubatex insulation may also be used as long as there is no heat tape applied to the vent pipe. For horizontal runs where water may collect, wrap the vent pipe with self-regulating 3 watt or 6 watt heat tape. The heat tape must be U.L. listed

and installed per the manufacturer’s instructions. NOTE: Never cover heat tape with insulation.

5. The minimum vent pipe length is 5 feet [1.5m].

Venting

6. IMPORTANT: No part of the combustion air and/or

vent pipes may be installed underground.

7. Piping at a roof, wall or other penetration must be immobilized to prevent pipes from disconnecting. Disconnected pipes may allow flue products to be released inside the structure.

8. For Direct Vent systems, all pipe penetrations through roof or sidewall must be installed so that the vent and combustion air intake pipes terminate in the same atmospheric pressure zone.

9. Vent terminations must be installed with the minimum clearances specified in the TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS sections of this manual and Figure 15 (for Non-Direct Vent) and Figures 16, 17 & 26 (for direct Vent installations).

10. Piping external to the structure (excluding approved venting terminations) and vent passing through unheated crawl-spaces, attics, verandas, patios or decks must be insulated with approved insulating material to prevent freezing as required for local climate.

JOINING PIPE AND FITTINGS

WARNING

!

PVC/CPVC SOLVENT CEMENTS AND PRIMERS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND DO NOT ASSEMBLE NEAR A HEAT SOURCE OR AN OPEN FLAME. DO NOT SMOKE. AVOID SKIN OR EYE CONTACT. OBSERVE ALL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS PRINTED ON MATERIAL CONTAINERS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES MAY RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

(U.S. Only)

All pipe, fittings, solvent cement, primers and procedures must be installed following the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions and must conform to American National Standards Institute and American Society for Testing Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards as shown in the Table 1 below:

CEMENTING JOINTS

Properly seal all joints in the PVC vent using the following materials and procedures.

PVC CLEANER-PRIMER AND PVC MEDIUM-BODY SOLVENT CEMENT

IMPORTANT: After cutting pipe, remove all ragged

edges and burrs. This is important to prevent reduction in pressure drop throughout the system.

1. Cut pipe end square. Chamfer edge of pipe. Clean fitting socket and pipe joint area of all dirt, grease and moisture.

2. After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal coat of primer to inside surface of socket and outside of pipe. Read instructions included with the primer for proper application.

3. Apply a thin coat of cement evenly within the socket. Quickly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe end and insert pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting movement until it bottoms out.

NOTE: Cement must be fluid. If not, re-coat.

4. Hold the pipe in the fitting for 30 seconds to prevent the tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.

5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag. Allow 15 minutes before handling. Cure time varies according to fit, temperature and humidity.

NOTE: Stir the solvent cement frequently while using. Use a natural bristle brush or the dauber supplied with the can. The proper brush size is one inch.

IMPORTANT: For proper installation:

DO NOT use solvent cement that has become cur-

dled, lumpy or thickened.

DO NOT thin. Observe shelf precautions printed on containers. For applications below 32°F, use only lowtemperature type solvent cement.

For Canadian installations all exhaust venting materials must be certified to ULCS-636C.

* This is the recommended maximum number of long sweep elbows for either 2 or 3 inch pipe. Combinaons of long sweep 90s, standard 90s, or 45s may be used, but the manufacturer recommends the use of long sweep 90s whenever possible because the use of the maximum number of standard 90 and 45 elbows only may result in nuisance furnace outages due to individual installaon speciﬁcs.

Exceeding the recommended maximum number of elbows may cause nuisance operaon of the pressure switch.

For modulating furnaces, non-direct venting is only authorized for vertical terminations.

POLYPROPYLENE VENT PRODUCTS

Centrotherm brand Innoflue and Duravent Polypro Singlewall and flex venting products are approved for use on this furnace product only in single appliance applications. Do not exceed maximum venting lengths, diameters or elbows listed in these instructions (Vent Pipe Sizing and Maximum Vent Lengths section [Table 3]). Application of these products is limited to the terminations listed in Ta-

TABLE 4: DURAVENT BRAND POLYPRO & POLYPRO FLEX TERMINATION COMPONENTS

bles 4 and 5 below. These manufacturers have provisions for B-vent liners and chimney liners which can be used with this furnace with non-direct venting applications only. Refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions for proper installation. Contact the manufacturer for all installation and application information.

NOTE: These venting products are listed for use in Canada under ULC-S636.

IN THE FLUE GASES WILL CONDENSE AS THEY LEAVE THE TERMINATION. THE CONDENSATE CAN FREEZE ON THE EXTERIOR WALL, UNDER THE EAVES AND ON SURROUNDING OBJECTS. SOME DISCOLORATION TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING IS TO BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER, IMPROPER LOCATION OR INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN FINISH DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING AND MAY RE-CIRCULATE THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION INTO THE COMBUSTION AIR TERMINAL AND FREEZE.

Vent terminations for both Non-Direct and Direct-Vent installations must adhere to guidelines specified by the latest edition of ANSI Z21.47 Gas-Fired Central Furnaces. These are clearly detailed in Figure 26 for Direct-Vent installations. In addition to these requirements, the installation and venting must also comply with the National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) and CSA-B149.1; Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (Canada) and the following requirements must also be met:

NOTE: Screens of any kind on the inlet or exhaust pipes are not permitted and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

In addition to the requirements shown in Figure 26 for Direct-Venting, the vent must be installed with the following minimum clearances:

1. The vent terminal shall have a minimum horizontal clearance of 4 feet from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.

2. Locate the furnace combustion air inlet a minimum of 3 feet from the vent of any other gas or fuel-burning ap-

pliance or clothes dryer to prevent recirculation of the flue gases into the furnace combustion air inlet. The only exception to this requirement is the case of multiventing two or more furnaces, which is covered in the section on multiventing of these instructions.

In addition to the minimum clearances listed above and in Figure 26 (Direct-Vent), the vent location should also be governed by the following guidelines.

1. Avoid terminating under any kind of patio or deck. However, if necessary, vent piping may be installed under a deck as long as the termination(s) is (are) not under the deck.

2. If installing the vent under a deck, insulate it to insure that no condensate freezes and blocks the pipes.

3. Do not terminate in any area or behind any obstruction that may allow the flue products to become stagnant and/or re-circulate.

4. Do not locate on the side of a building with prevailing winter winds. This will help prevent moisture from freezing on the walls and overhangs (under eaves).

5. If extending vent through a brick or masonry surface, a sleeve between the wall and venting is suggested to protect against damage from thermal expansion and contraction.

6. A corrosion-resistant sheet metal or plastic backing plate installed on the wall behind the vent is suggested to prevent exhaust gases and condensate from contacting the wall.

7. Avoid locating too close to shrubs as condensate may stunt growth or kill them.

GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS AND

GUIDELINES

NON-DIRECT VENT (VERTICAL TERMINATIONS ONLY)

WARNING

!

ALL FURNACE INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, NFPA 54, AND IN CANADA CSA B149.1; CANADIAN NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE INSTALLATION CODE, THE NATIONAL FIRE CODE OF CANADA, AND LOCAL CODES TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR FOR THE FURNACE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION, FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

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 and, in Canada, CSA B149.1; Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation 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.

WARNING

!

READ AND FOLLOW THE GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES OF THIS MANUAL FOR ADDI-

TIONAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO ALL FURNACE INSTALLATIONS (INCLUDING DIRECT AND NON-DIRECT VENTING). FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CAN RESULT IN EQUIPMENT FAILURE, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

CONFINED AND UNCONFINED SPACES

The below instructions are for U.S. installations only. The terms Confined Space and Unconfined Space refer to U.S. installations only. In Canada the proper term to use is Enclosure when specifying that a furnace is installed in a partially enclosed or fully enclosed room or space. For Canadian installations, to determine combustion air requirements for non-direct vent installations, the installer must follow CSA B149.1; Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and NOT the below instructions.

TABLE 6: MINIMUM SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR UNCONFINED SPACE, NON-DIRECT VENT

FURNACE LOCATED IN AN UNCONFINED SPACE (U.S. INSTALLATIONS)

USING INDOOR AIR FOR COMBUSTION:

n unconfined space must have at least 50 cubic feet for each

A 1,000 BTUH of total input for all appliances in the space. Table 6 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 (U.S. INSTALLATIONS)

A confined space is defined as any space for a given furnace input rating which is smaller than that which is specified in Table 6 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

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 7 shows some typical examples of openings required for combustion air openings required for a confined space.
