GENERAL INFORMATION
1.
IMPORTANT: If furnace operation is required during construction, and air ladened with corrosive compounds such as chlorine and fluorine are present, provisions must be taken to provide clean outdoor combustion and ventilation air to the furnace. Compounds of chlorine and fluorine, when burned with combustion air, form acids which will cause corrosion of a heat exchanger. Some of these compounds are found in paneling, dry wall, tile adhesives, paints, stains and varnishes, solvents and masonry curing and cleaning materials.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS FURNACE IN A MOBILE HOME!! This furnace
is not approved for installation in a mobile home. Doing so could cause
FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
WHEN THIS FURNACE IS INSTALLED IN A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE, IT MUST BE INSTALLED SO THE BURNERS AND IGNITION SOURCE ARE LOCATED NO LESS THAN 18 INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR. THIS IS TO PREVENT THE RISK OF IGNITING FLAM­MABLE VAPORS WHICH MAY BE PRESENT IN A GARAGE. ALSO, THE FURNACE MUST BE LOCATED OR PROTECTED TO AVOID PHYSICAL DAMAGE BY VEHICLES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

2.
IMPORTANT: If installing the unit over a finished ceiling or living 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.
3.
IMPORTANT: If using a cooling evaporator coil with this furnace:
a. 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.
b. install a parallel duct system
to divert all the air from the furnace allowing it to pass over the cooling coil only. Use dampers or other means to prevent chilled air from passing over the heat exchanger.
If these are manual dampers, they must be equipped to prevent heating or cooling operation unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.

4.
IMPORTANT: Install the furnace level. If it is not level,
condensate cannot drain properly, possibly causing furnace shut down.
NOTE: These furnaces are approved for installation in attics, as well as alcoves, utility rooms, closets and crawlspaces. Provisions must be made to prevent freezing of condensate.
5.
IMPORTANT: If this furnace is installed in a garage, attic and/or any unconditioned space, install a self-regulating heat tape around the condensate trap and along the entire length of the condensate drain in the unconditioned space. See Figure 3.
When the condensing horizontal gas furnace is installed in an unconditioned space where the temperature would be capable of reaching close to or below 32°F (0°C). A SELF-REGULATING HEAT TAPE IS REQUIRED ON THE CONDENSATE DRAIN, ALONG WITH AN INSULATION WRAP. The heat tape should meet the following requirements:

DUCTING
Proper air flow is required for the correct operation of this furnace. Too little 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.
Size the ducts according to acceptable industry standards and methods. The total static pressure drop of the air distribution system should not exceed 0.5" w.c.
NEVER ALLOW THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM THE FLUE TO ENTER THE RETURN AIR DUCTWORK OR THE CIRCULATED AIR SUPPLY. ALL RETURN DUCTWORK MUST BE ADEQUATELY SEALED AND SECURED TO THE FURNACE WITH SHEET METAL SCREWS; AND JOINTS, TAPED. ALL OTHER DUCT JOINTS MUST BE SECURED WITH APPROVED CONNECTIONS AND SEALED AIRTIGHT. WHEN AN UPFLOW FURNACE IS MOUNTED ON A PLATFORM WITH RETURN THROUGH THE BOTTOM, IT MUST BE SEALED AIRTIGHT BETWEEN THE FURNACE AND THE RETURN AIR PLENUM. THE FLOOR OR PLATFORM MUST PROVIDE SOUND PHYSICAL SUPPORT OF THE FURNACE WITHOUT SAGGING, CRACKS, OR GAPS, AROUND THE BASE, PROVIDING A SEAL BETWEEN THE SUPPORT AND THE BASE.
FAILURE TO PREVENT PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM BEING CIRCULATED INTO THE LIVING SPACE CAN CREATE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS, INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING THAT COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CONNECT RETURN OR SUPPLY DUCTWORK TO OR FROM ANY OTHER HEAT PRODUCING DEVICE SUCH AS A FIREPLACE INSERT, STOVE, ETC. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, EXPLOSION, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT: Some high efficiency filters have a greater than normal resistance to air flow. This can adversely affect furnace operation. BE SURE TO CHECK AIR FLOW if using any filter other than the factory­provided filter.
UPFLOW UNITS
1. Position the unit to minimize long runs of duct or runs of duct with many turns and elbows.
2. Open the return air compartment. a. If using side or back return air,
do not remove the bottom base.
b. Cut an opening in the side or
back. The opening should be cut the full width of the knockouts on the unit.
c. Remove the bottom base if
using bottom return air.
NOTE: Where the maximum air flow is 1800 CFM or more, both sides or the bottom must be used for return air.
3. Connect the return duct or return air cabinet to the unit. Make the connection air tight to prevent entraining combustion gases from an adjacent fuel-burning appliance.
4. Be sure to have adequate
space for the unit filter. NOTE: DO NOT take return air
from bathrooms, kitchens, furnace rooms, garages, utility or laundry rooms, or cold areas.
5. If summer air conditioning is desired, position the indoor coil on the top of the unit. Insure that no air can bypass this coil.
6. Connect the supply air plenum to the furnace plenum opening.
IMPORTANT: If a flexible duct connector must be used, it MUST
be rated for a minimum
temperature of 250
°F.
continuous.
DOWNFLOW UNITS
1. Position the unit to minimize long runs of duct or runs of duct with many turns and elbows.
2. If summer air conditioning is desired, position the indoor coil on the bottom of the unit. Insure that no air can bypass this coil.
3. If installing on a combustible floor
and not using an air condition­ing plenum, install the special
non-combustible floor base. See Figure 9.
THE DOWNFLOW FURNACE DESIGN IS CERTIFIED FOR INSTALLATION ON A NON­COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. USE THE SPECIAL BASE SPECIFIED ON THE FURNACE CLEARANCE LABEL. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE SPECIAL BASE MAY RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. THIS SPECIAL BASE IS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY AS AN ACCESSORY.
4. Connect the furnace to the supply air plenum.
5. Connect the return air ducting to the return air opening at the top of the unit. Make the connection air tight to prevent entraining combustion gases from an adjacent fuel-burning appliance.
6. Be sure to have adequate
space for the unit filter. NOTE: DO NOT take return air
from bathrooms, kitchens, furnace rooms, garages, utility or laundry rooms, or cold areas.

GENERAL INFORMATION
READ AND FOLLOW ALL IN­STRUCTIONS IN THIS 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.
This furnace removes both sensible and latent heat from the combustion flue gases. Removal of latent heat results in condensation of flue gas water vapor. This condensed water vapor drains from the secondary heat exchanger and out of the unit into a drain trap.
When installed as a non-direct vent furnace, only exhaust piping is required and inside combustion air may be used. Refer to section on “
COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR
FOR FURNACE INSTALLATIONS.” 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.
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 and SDR26-26 PVC), D2661 (ABS-DWV) or F628 (Schedule 40 ABS-DWV).
In Canada all combustion air and vent pipe must be CSA- or ULC-certified Schedule 40 PVC, PVC-DWV or ABS-DWV.
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 are 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.
OVERTEMPERATURE SAFETY SWITCHES
Furnaces are equipped with safety switches in the control compartment to protect against overtemperature conditions caused by inadequate combustion air supply. The switches for the upflow and downflow models are located in the burner compartment. If a switch is tripped it must be manually reset.
DO NOT JUMPER THESE DEVICES! IF ONE OF THESE SWITCHES SHOULD TRIP, A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY OR THE GAS SUPPLIER MUST BE CALLED TO CHECK AND/OR CORRECT FOR ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY. DO NOT RESET THE SWITCHES WITHOUT TAKING CORRECTIVE ACTION TO ASSURE THAT AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF COMBUSTION AIR IS MAINTAINED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS OF OPERATION. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING OR DEATH. IF THIS UNIT IS MOUNTED IN A CLOSET, THE DOOR MUST BE CLOSED WHEN MAKING THIS CHECK.
REPLACE THESE SWITCHES ONLY WITH THE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PART.
EXISTING VENT SYSTEMS
When the installation of this furnace replaces an existing furnace that is removed from a vent system serving other appliances, the vent system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following steps should be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the original common vent system. Place the appliance to be tested in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common vent system are not in operation. Test the operation of each appliance individually by the following method.
1. Permanently seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. 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.
3. If 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.

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 in the socket. Quickly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe end and insert pipe into fitting with a slight twisting movement until it bottoms out.
NOTE: Cement must be fluid; if not, recoat.
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 curdled, lumpy or thickened.
DO NOT thin. Observe shelf precautions printed on containers.
For application below 32°F, use only low-temperature-type solvent cement.

4. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the common venting system must be resized. Refer to latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, 1992 or the AGA­GAMA venting tables for Category I furnaces.
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 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 (NFPA54) or CAN/CGA-B149.1 and .2 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.
JOINING PIPE AND FITTINGS
PVC SOLVENT CEMENTS AND PRIMERS ARE HIGHLY FLAM­MABLE. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND DO NOT ASSEMBLE NEAR 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.
All pipe, fittings, solvent cement, primers and procedures must conform to American National Standard Institute and American Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards in the U.S.
Pipe and Fittings - ASTM-D1785, D2466, D2665, D2231, D2661 and F628.
PVC Primer and Solvent Cement ­ASTM-D2564
ABS Pipe and Fittings - Use ABS Primer and Solvent Cement D2235
Procedure for Cementing Joints ­ASTM-D2855
IMPORTANT: The plastic combustion air and venting components are of 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 are corrosion resistant.

NON-DIRECT FURNACE INSTALLATIONS
THE 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 PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
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 Z223.1-1992, CAN/CGA B149.1 and 2, 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 warranty coverage.
The following types of installation (but not limited to the following) will 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.
Exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply (but not limited to the following) will also 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 must be free of acid­forming 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. 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.
ALL FURNACE INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE 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.
EXAMPLE 1: 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 the total input for all appliances in the space. Here are a few examples of the room sizes required for different inputs. The sizes are based on 8-foot ceilings.
BTUH Minimum Sq. Feet Typical Room Size
Input With 8' Ceiling With 8' Ceiling
45,000 281 14' x 20' OR 16' x 18'
60,000 375 15' x 25' OR 19' x 20'
75,000 469 15' x 31' OR 20' x 24'
90,000 563 20' x 28' OR 24' x 24'

120,000 750 25' x 30' OR 24' x 32'
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.
EXAMPLE 2: FURNACE LOCATED IN A CONFINED SPACE
A confined space (any space smaller than shown above as “unconfined”) must have openings into the space which are located in accordance with the requirements set forth in the following subsections A and B. Size the openings by how they are connected to the heated area or to the outside, and by the input of all appliances in the space.
If confined space is within a building with tight construction, combustion air must be taken from outdoors or 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 a 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. Here are some examples of typical openings required.

“rub-a-tex” 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 or 5 watt heat tape. The heat tape must be U.L. listed and installed per the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. The minimum vent pipe length is 5 feet.
STANDARD INSTALLATIONS
The single-pipe system requires an exhaust pipe only. Combustion air may be taken from the furnace installation area or ducted to the furnace area from the outside.
Size the exhaust pipe as specified in Table 1. This table lists the maximum allowable length in feet of the exhaust pipe that may be used for all furnace inputs as related to the number of elbows required and the termination. (See shaded area.)
Vertical through-the-roof installations do not require a vent termination. Use 2-in. PVC pipe extending a minimum of 12 inches above the anticipated level of snow accumulation. See exhaust pipe requirements, Figure 20. When 3-in. vent pipe is used from furnace to the roof, reduce it to 2 inches before penetrating the roof. A maximum of 18 inches of 2-in. pipe may be used below the roof.
Horizontal vent terminations require a 2-in. PVC tee positioned 12 inches from the outside wall. See exhaust pipe requirements, Figure 21. When 3-in. pipe is used from the furnace to the outside wall, reduce it to 2 inches before penetrating the wall. A maximum of 18 inches of 2-in. pipe may be used inside the wall.
An alternate termination may be used as shown in Figure 15 to clear anticipated snow levels. The tee may be raised up to 24 inches above the wall penetration. Use two medium­radius bend, 2-in. PVC elbows and a length of 2-in. PVC pipe so that the elbows are on 24-in. centers.
NON-DIRECT VENT TERMINATION LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
MOISTURE IN THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS CONDENSES AS IT LEAVES THE TERMINATION. THIS CONDENSATE CAN FREEZE ON EXTERIOR WALLS, UNDER THE EAVES, AND ON SURROUNDING OBJECTS. SOME DISCOLORA­TION IS TO BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER, IMPROPER LOCATION
18
OR INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE STRUCTURAL OR EXTERIOR FINISH DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING.
Non-direct venting location requirements are slightly different in some cases than direct venting. Install a non-direct vent with the following minimum clearances. See Figure 16.
1. Locate the bottom of the vent terminal at least 12 inches above grade. Increase the 12-in. minimum to keep the terminal openings above the level of snow accumulation, where applicable.
2. The vent shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard.
3. 4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally from, or 1 foot above any door, window soffit, under eave vent or gravity air inlet to the building.
4. The vent terminal shall have a minimum horizontal clearance of 4 feet from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.
5. 6 feet from an inside corner formed by two exterior walls – 10 feet is the recommended distance.
6. Locate it 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet. Any fresh air or make-up air inlet, such as for a dryer or furnace area, is considered a forced air inlet.

In addition to the minimum clearances listed above, the vent location should also be governed by the following guidelines.
1. Do not terminate under any kind of patio or deck. If running the vent under a deck, insulate it to insure no condensate freezes and blocks the pipe.
2. Do not locate on the side of a building with prevailing winter winds. This will help prevent moisture from freezing on walls and overhangs (under eaves).
3. Do not extend vent directly through brick or masonry surfaces. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal or plastic backing plate behind vent.
4. Do not locate too close to shrubs as condensate may stunt or kill them.
5. Minimum vertical clearances of 1 foot are recommended for overhangs up to 1 foot horizontal. The vertical clearance should be increased equally for each additional increase in horizontal overhang to a maximum vertical clearance of 6 feet.
6. Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within 6 feet horizontally and above and below vent.

DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS 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.
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. Therefore, no
ventilation or combustion air openings are required.
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 are corrosion resistant.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Size the entire vent system according to the concentric, not standard, termination shown in Table 2.
COMBUSTION AIR FOR DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
THE COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR THIS FURNACE MUST BE USED.
When this furnace is installed as a direct vent forced air furnace, all combustion air is supplied directly to the burner through a special air inlet system outlined in these instructions. This system consists of field-supplied Schedule 40 or 26 SDR-PVC pipe and one of the following horizontal vent termination kits: RXGY-D02, RXGY-D03, RXGY-D04, RXGY-C01 or RXGY-E02.
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.
The combustion air for this furnace is supplied directly from the outdoors through the combustion air inlet system.
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 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 (NFPA54) or CAN/CGA-B149.1 and .2 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.

/4-in. length of 2-in. PVC pipe. Connect this pipe and another 2-in. PVC coupling to the coupling at the wall. The outer coupling must terminate 4 inches from the wall. See Figure 21, Detail B, for vane location. Attach vane in vertical position with PVC solvent.
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper furnace operation, the supplied vane must be installed in the vertical position as shown in Figure 21, Detail B.
The combustion air inlet terminal must be located with respect to the exhaust terminal as shown in Figure 21, Detail C.
IMPORTANT: All furnaces with
horizontal air intakes, except those using horizontal concentric vent kit RXGY-C01, must have a drain tee assembly and trap installed as close to the furnace as possible. This is to drain any water that may be in the combustion air pipe to prevent it from entering the furnace combustion chamber.
These parts are included in kits RXGY-D02 (for 2-in. pipe), RXGY­D03 (for 3-in. pipe) and RXGY-D04 (special for the 120,000 BTU furnace installed with the alternate horizontal termination). Attach the trap to the bottom of the tee with PVC solvent. Connect the other end to a suitable drain, as to the downstream of a condensate trap on the furnace.
STANDARD VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
EXHAUST VENT PIPING Vertical through-the-roof vent appli-
cations do not require an exhaust terminal. The exhaust vent must terminate at least 12 inches above the combustion intake air termination. The exhaust vent for models with inputs of 90,000 through 120,000 BTUH is 2-in. PVC pipe 120,000 BTUH models with excessively long
runs require 2
1
2(. Refer to Table 2 for proper application. This must be reduced to 1( or 1
1
2( the last 12 inches for models with inputs of 45,000 through 75,000 BTUH. See Figure 22.
STANDARD HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
EXHAUST PIPING For direct vent systems the standard
termination is 2-in. PVC pipe extending 12 inches from the wall for furnaces with inputs from 90,000 to 120,000 BTUH. Install a 2-in. coupling at the outside wall to prevent the termination from being pushed inward. When 3-in. pipe is used between the furnace and outside wall, reduce to 2 inches before penetrating the wall. The standard termination is 1
1
/2 -in. PVC pipe extending outward 12 inches from the wall for models with inputs of 45,000 to 75,000 BTUH. Install a 2-in. to 1
1
/2-in. coupling at the outside wall to prevent pushing the termination back into the wall. See Figure 21, Detail B.
The combustion air and exhaust terminations must be at least 12 inches above grade and must be oriented with respect to each other as shown in Figure 21. Refer to section on alternate venting options when higher snow levels are anticipated.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS HORIZONTAL DIRECT VENTS
THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS AND MOISTURE 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 STRUCTURAL OR EXTERIOR FINISH DAMAGE TO THE BUILD­ING AND MAY RECIRCULATE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION INTO THE COMBUSTION AIR TERMINAL AND FREEZE.
NOTE: In Canada vent terminations should be done in accordance with the current CAN/CGA-B149 Gas Installation Code and/or local codes.
The vent must be installed with the following minimum clearances. See Figures 22 and 23.
1. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air inlet shall be located at least 12 inches above grade. Increase the 12-in. minimum to keep the terminal openings above the level of snow accumulation, where applicable.
2. The vent shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard.
3. The vent terminal shall be located at least one foot from any opening through which flue gases could enter a building.
4. The vent terminal shall be at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet, except the combustion air inlet of a direct vent appliance.
5. The vent terminal shall have a minimum horizontal clearance of 4 feet from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.
6. The air inlet shall be located at least 10 feet horizontally from the vent of any other gas or fuel burning appliance or electric clothes drier. The only exception to this requirement is the case of multiventing two or more of these furnaces. For those specifics refer to the section on multiventing in these instructions.
In addition to the minimum clearances listed above, the vent location should also be governed by the following guidelines.
1. Do not terminate under any
kind of patio or deck. If running the vent under a deck, insulate it to insure no condensate freezes and blocks the pipe.
2. Do not terminate behind any area that may allow the flue products to become stagnant and recirculate.
3. Do not locate on the side of a building with prevailing winter winds. This will help prevent moisture from freezing on walls and overhangs (under eaves).
4. Do not extend vent directly through brick or masonry
surfaces. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal or plastic backing plate behind vent. See Figure 19.
5. Do not locate too close to shrubs as condensate may stunt or kill them.
6. Minimum vertical clearances of 1 foot are recommended for overhangs up to 1 foot horizontal. The vertical clearance should be increased equally for each additional increase in horizontal overhang to a maximum vertical clearance of 6 feet.
7. Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within 6 feet horizontally and above and below vent. See Figure 23.

8. Painted surfaces must be sound and in good condition with no cracking, peeling, etc. Painted surfaces will require maintenance.
9. Do not expose 3" x 2" reducer/ bushing to outdoor ambient temperatures.
MULTIVENTING
IF VENTING TWO OR MORE FURNACES NEAR EACH OTHER IS REQUIRED, EACH FURNACE MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY VENTED – NO COMMON VENTING IS
PERMITTED. See Figures 24 and 25
for positioning of the terminations. When more than two furnaces are to be vented, there must be at least 4 feet between the first two furnaces and the third, etc.
Page 26

CONNECTING TO FURNACE
IMPORTANT: Clean and debur all pipe cuts. The shavings must not be allowed to block the exhaust, inlet or condensate drain pipes.
UPFLOW FURNACE
The exhaust pipe connection is a 2-in. female PVC pipe fitting extending through the left side of the furnace top plate. This opening has a protective cap which should be removed just prior to installing the exhaust pipe. When 2-in. pipe is used, connect it directly to this fitting. When 3-in. pipe is used, connect a 2 to 3-in. coupling to this fitting with a short piece of 2-in. PVC pipe.
The inlet combustion air connection is at the right side of the top plate. An alternate combustion inlet air connection may be made on the right side of the jacket. This opening has a plastic cap. A combustion inlet air connection fitting is supplied with the furnace and it must be installed in the furnace by screwing it into the opening. Make sure the rubber “O-ring” supplied with the furnace is used with this fitting. See Figure 26.
DOWNFLOW/HORIZONTAL FURNACE
The exhaust pipe connection is a 2-in. upflow only PVC pipe fitting extending through the right side of the furnace top cover. This opening has a pro­tective cap which should be removed just prior to installing the exhaust pipe. When 2-in. pipe is used, con­nect it directly to this fitting. When 3-in. pipe is used, connect with a 2- to 3-in. coupling directly to the 2-in. pipe.
The combustion inlet air connection is a 2-in. extruded hole on the left side of the top plate. When a 2-in. pipe is used, attach a 2-in. PVC coupling over this hole with RTV sealant and also add two sheet metal screws through the coupling into the extrusion to secure it in place, and add the required piping. When 3-in. pipe is required, use a 2- to 3-in. coupling and add the required piping. See Figure 27.

FIGURE 28 UPFLOW CONDENSATE DRAIN
GENERAL INFORMATION
DO NOT RUN DRAIN OUTDOORS. FREEZING OF CONDENSATE CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into a
common drain line with an air con­ditioner evaporator coil drain located below the furnace. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in over­flow of the coil pan and negate the furnace blocked drain shutoff control.
FILL TRAP ASSEMBLY WITH WATER BEFORE OPERATING THE
FURNACE. This can be done by
removing the drain hose from the trap and pouring about a cup of water into the vent trap. Water will flow into the house drain when the trap is full.
If local codes require, install a condensate neutralizer cartridge in the drain line. Install cartridge in horizontal position only. Also install an overflow line if routing to a floor drain. See Figures 28 and 29.
If no floor drain is available, install a condensate pump that is resistant to acidic water. Pumps are available from your local distributor. If pump used is not resistant to acidic water, a condensate neutralizer must be used ahead of the pump. The condensate pump must have an auxiliary safety switch to prevent operation of the furnace and resulting overflow of condensate in the event of pump failure. The safety switch must be wired through the “R” circuit only (low voltage) to provide operation in either heating or cooling modes.
UPFLOW MODELS
The condensate drain trap is located in the blower compartment on the left­hand side of the jacket. A short piece of
1
/2-in. PVC pipe and a 1/2-in. tee are provided. Connect the 1/2-in. pipe to the elbow on the trap and the tee to this pipe so that the open end is upward. Connect at least a 5( riser to the top of the tee and run a drain tube from the bottom of the tee to a floor drain or condensate pump.
IMPORTANT: If installing the unit over a finished ceiling or living area, be certain to install an auxiliary condensate drain pan under the entire unit extending out under the condensate tee. With a 5 inch riser installed above the tee, a blocked drain will result in overflow from the riser.
To cause the furnace to shut down when a blocked drain is present, install a riser which is a minimum of 10
13
16(. If the furnace is installed in an
attic, crawlspace or other area where
freezing temperatures may occur, the furnace drain can freeze while shut off for long periods of time.
Use a solvent cement that is compatible with PVC material. Cut the drain hoses to the appropriate length and connect to the trap with hose clamps. Tighten the clamps with pliers and check for leaks after attaching.
DOWNFLOW MODELS
The condensate trap is located on the right side of the cabinet in the burner compartment. A short piece of
1
/2-in. PVC pipe and a 1/2-in. tee are provided. Connect the 1/2-in. pipe to the elbow on the trap and the tee to this pipe so that the open end is upward. Connect a 51⁄2-in. riser to the top of the tee and run a drain tube from the bottom of the tee to a floor drain or condensate pump. Use a solvent cement that is compatible with PVC material.

REVERSING THE TRAP
UPFLOW UNITS
The trap may be moved to the right side for right side drainage. Open the knockout for the drain on the right side of the cabinet. Remove the bracket holding the trap from the left side. Seal the left side drain hole with a plug provided in the cloth bag with the furnace. Position the mounting bracket and trap so that the drain elbow is centered in the hole on the right. See Figure 30.
Drill two holes in the cabinet to mount the bracket. Mount the trap and bracket to the right side with the drain elbow pointing through the knockout. Connect the
1
/2-in. pipe and tee as noted above. Route the drain hoses behind the control box, cut to the appropriate length, and connect to the trap with hose clamps.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ALLOW ANY SAGS OR KINKS IN THE HOSES. This prevents proper
condensate flow. IMPORTANT: Do not connect into
a common drain line with an air conditioner evaporator coil drain located above the furnace. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in overflow of the coil pan and negate the furnace blocked drain shutoff control.
DOWNFLOW UNITS
To convert to left side drainage, first remove the drainage hoses from the trap. Remove the trap from its mounting bracket, rotate it 180°, and mount in place with the drainage elbow pointing to the left. Reattach the drain hoses. Remove the plastic drainage knockout from the left side. See Figure 31.
IMPORTANT: When changing to the left side, interchange the rubber bushing on the right side with the hole plug on the left side. The hole plug must be in place to assure that the control compartment is sealed.
A length of 1/2-in. PVC pipe is provided for left hand drainage. Glue one end of the pipe to the elbow in the trap. Cut the pipe so that it extends through the left cabinet side one inch. Connect the
1
/2-in. tee to the pipe with a 5-in. riser and drain tube as listed above. Use the plastic plug from the left side drainage knockout to seal the right side drainage knockout.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into a common drain line with an air conditioner evaporator coil drain located above the furnace. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in overflow of the coil pan and negate the furnace blocked drain shutoff control.

Install a ground joint union inside the cabinet 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.
Any strains on the gas valve can change the position of the gas orifices in the burners. This can cause erratic furnace operation.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RUN A FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTOR INSIDE THE UNIT. Extend the 1/2" black pipe from the gas valve to the outside of the cabinet. Connect any flexible gas connector from there to the gas piping.
The gas pipe gasket in the cabinet does not seal around a flexi-ble gas connector. It is important to have all
openings in the cabinet burner compartment sealed for proper 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 p.s.i.g. (3.48 kPa).
GAS PRESSURE
Natural gas supply pressure should be 5" to 7" w.c. LP gas supply pressure should be 11" to 13" w.c.
This pressure must be
maintained with all other gas-fired appliances in operation. Do not
exceed a maximum gas supply pressure of 13" w.c. with any fuel.

GAS VALVE
This furnace has a 24-volt operated valve. It has ports for measuring supply pressure and manifold pressure. The valve body contains a pressure regulator to maintain proper manifold pressure.
A manual control is on the valve body. It can be set to only the “ON” or “OFF” positions. The gas valve is a slow-opening valve. See Figure 37.
When energized, it takes 6 to 8 seconds to fully open.

LP CONVERSION
The valve can be converted to use liquified petroleum (LP) gas by replacing the pressure regulator spring with the conversion kit spring. This LP kit spring allows the regulator to maintain the proper manifold pressure for LP gas. The correct burner LP orifices are included in the kit. See Figure 38.
NOTE: Order the correct LP conversion kit from the furnace manufacturer.
Furnace conversion to LP gas must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
To change orifice spuds for either conversion to LP or for elevation:
1. Shut off the manual main gas valve and remove the gas manifold.
2. Replace the orifice spuds.
3. Reassemble in reverse order.
Consult the following table if there is any question concerning orifice sizing.

SETTING GAS PRESSURE
The maximum gas supply pressure to the furnace should be 7" w.c. natural gas, or 13" w.c. LP gas.
The minimum supply gas pressure to the gas valve should be 5" w.c. natural gas or 11" w.c. LP gas. A properly calibrated U-Tube manometer is required for accurate gas pressure measurements.
Supply Gas Pressure Measure­ment. A line pressure tap is on the
input side of the gas valve. See Figure 39.
1. With gas shut off to the furnace at the manual gas valve outside the unit, remove the input pressure tap plug.
2. Connect a U-Tube manometer to the pressure tap.
3. Turn on the gas supply and operate the furnace and all other gas-fired units on the same gas line as the furnace.
4. Note or adjust the line gas pressure to give:
A. 5" - 7" w.c. for natural gas. B. 11" - 13" w.c. for LP gas.
5. Shut off the gas at the manual gas valve and remove the U-Tube manometer.
6. Replace the pressure tap plug before turning on the gas.
If the supply gas line pressure is above these ranges, install an in-line gas regulator to the furnace for natural gas units. With LP gas, have
FIGURE 40 MANIFOLD PLUG LOCATION
the LP supplier reduce the line pressure at the regulator.
If supply gas line pressure is below these ranges, either remove any restrictions in the gas supply piping or enlarge the gas pipe. See Tables 3 and 4. With LP gas, have the LP supplier adjust the line pressure at the regulator.
Manifold Gas Pressure Measurement. Natural gas manifold pressure should be 3.5" w.c. LP gas manifold pressure should be 10.0" w.c. Only small
variations in gas pressure should be made by adjusting the pressure regulator.
1. With the gas to the unit shut off at the manual gas valve, remove the pressure tap plug in the gas manifold. See Figure 40.
2. Connect a U-Tube manometer to this pressure tap. See Figure 41.
3. Turn on the gas supply and operate the furnace.
4. Note or adjust the manifold gas pressure to give:
A. 3.5" w.c. for natural gas. B. 10.0" w.c. for LP gas.
5. To adjust the pressure regulator, remove the regulator cap.
6. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure, or counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
7. Securely replace the regulator cap.
8. Shut off gas at the manual gas valve and remove the U-Tube manometer.

SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, CLOSE THE MANUAL GAS VALVE FOR THE APPLIANCE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Honeywell or UTEC Integrated Controls with Hot Surface Ignition.
1. Each time the thermostat contacts close, the induced draft blower (inducer) begins a prepurge cycle.
2. The air proving negative pressure switch(es) closes.
3. 30 seconds after the pressure
switch(es) close, the hot surface
igniter heats for 30 seconds to full
temperature. The induced draft blower operates for the complete heating cycle.
4. After the 30-second igniter warm up,
the gas valve opens for a 9-second trial for ignition.
5. The igniter lights the gas burners and stays energized for the first 8
seconds after the gas valve opens.
6. 8 seconds after the gas valve opens
the remote flame sensor must prove flame ignition for one
second using the process of flame rectification. If the burners don’t light, the system goes through another ignition sequence. It does this up to four times.
7. The main blower starts approximately 20 seconds after the burners ignite.
8. When the thermostat cycle ends, the gas valve closes, the burners go out, the induced draft blower stops after a 5-second post-purge, and the negative pressure switch(es) open.
9. The main blower continues until timed off by the setting on the integrated furnace control board.
Sequence if the system doesn’t light or doesn’t sense flame:
1. On a call for heat, the control runs the inducer for 30 seconds to prepurge.
2. After the 30-second prepurge, the hot surface igniter heats for 30 seconds. The inducer continues to run.
3. After the 30-second igniter warm up, the gas valve opens for a 9-second trial for ignition. The inducer continues and the igniter stays energized.
4. If flame is not sensed during the ninth second after the gas valve opens, the gas valve closes, and the igniter de-energizes.
5. After a 30 second inter-purge, the igniter heats for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the gas valve opens for 9 seconds. If no flame is sensed, it closes the gas valve, the igniter de­energizes. Both the inducer and
main blower operate for 180 seconds.
6. It retries up to four times. At the end of the last try, the inducer stops immediately. The system is in
“soft” lock out.
7. The above sequence will repeat after a one hour delay. It will continue repeating until ignition is successful or the call for heat is terminated.
8. To reset the lock out, make and
break power either at the thermostat or at the unit disconnect switch for 5 to 10
seconds. It then goes through
another set of trials for ignition.
UTEC or Johnson Controls Direct Spark Ignition
1. Each time the thermostat contacts close, the induced draft blower (inducer) begins a prepurge cycle.
2. The air proving negative pressure switch(es) closes.
3. 30 seconds after the pressure
switch(es) close, the spark
igniter energizes. The induced
draft blower operates for the complete heating cycle.
4. After the spark igniter energizes,
the gas valve opens for a 8 second trial for ignition.
5. The igniter lights the gas burners.
6. After the gas valve opens the
flame sensor must prove flame
ignition for one second using the
process of flame rectification. If the burners don’t light, the system goes through another ignition sequence. It does this up to four times.
7. The main blower starts 20 seconds after the burners ignite.
8. When the thermostat cycle ends, the gas valve closes, the burners go out, the induced draft blower stops after a 5-second post- purge, and the negative pressure switch(es) open.
9. The main blower continues until timed off by the setting on the integrated furnace control board.
Sequence if the system doesn’t light or doesn’t sense flame:
1. On a call for heat, the control runs the inducer for 30 seconds to pre­purge.
2. After the 30-second pre-purge, the spark igniter energizes. The inducer continues to run.
3. After the spark igniter energizes, the gas valve opens for a 8­second trial for ignition. The inducer continues and the igniter stays energized.
4. If flame is not sensed within 8 seconds after the gas valve opens, the gas valve closes, and the igniter de-energizes.
5. After a 30-second inter-purge, the igniter is energized, the gas valve opens for 8 seconds. If no flame is sensed, it closes the gas valve, the igniter de-energizes. Both the
main blower and the inducer operate for 180 seconds before the next ignition trial.
6. It retries up to four times. At the end of the last try, the inducer stops. The system is in “soft” lockout.
7. The above sequence will repeat after a one hour delay. It will continue repeating until ignition is successful or the call for heat is terminated.
8. To reset the lock out, make and
break power either at the thermostat or at the unit disconnect switch for 5 to 10
seconds. It then goes through
another set of trials for ignition.

ADJUSTING OR CHECKING FURNACE INPUT
The maximum gas supply pressure to the furnace should be 7" w.c. for natural gas. The minimum gas supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment to the furnace should be 5" w.c.
A properly calibrated magnehelic gauge or manometer is required for accurate gas pressure readings.
The manifold pressure should be set at 3.5" w.c. for natural gas. Only small variations in the gas flow should be made by means of the pressure regulator adjustment. In no case should the final manifold pressure vary more than plus or minus 0.3" w.c. from the above­specified pressures. To adjust the pressure regulator, remove the regulator cap and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Then replace the regulator cap securely. Any necessary major changes in the gas flow rate should be made by changing the size of the burner orifices.
To change orifice spuds, shut off the manual gas valve and remove the gas manifold. On LP gas furnaces, the LP gas supply pressure must be set between 11" and 14" w.c. by means of the tank or branch supply regulators. The furnace manifold pressure should be set at 10" w.c. at the gas control valve. For elevations up to 2,000 feet, rating plate input ratings apply. For high altitudes (elevations over 2,000 ft.), see conversion kit index 92-21519-XX for derating and orifice spud sizes.
Checking furnace input is important to prevent over firing beyond its design-rated input. NEVER SET INPUT ABOVE THAT SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE. Use the following table or formula to determine input rate. Start the furnace and measure the time required to burn one cubic foot of gas. Prior to checking the furnace input, make certain that all other gas appliances are shut off, with the exception of pilot burners. Time the meter with only the furnace in operation.

The furnace is shipped from the factory with #50 orifices. They are sized for natural gas having a heating value of 1075 BTU/cu. ft. and a specific gravity of .60.
Since heating values vary geo­graphically, the manifold pressure and/or gas orifice size may need to be changed to adjust the furnace to its nameplate input. Consult the local gas utility to obtain the yearly average heating value and orifice size required to fire each individual burner at 15,000 BTU/HR.

AIR FLOW
The importance of proper air flow over the heat exchanger cannot be over emphasized. One of the most common causes of heat exchanger failure is overheating due to low air flow. An air flow table is located inside the blower door.
TEMPERATURE RISE CHECK
To determine if the air flow is correct, make a temperature rise check.
1. Insert a thermometer in the supply air duct as close to the furnace as possible yet out of a direct line from the heat exchanger. See Figure 51.
2. Insert a thermometer in the return air duct as close to the furnace as possible.
3. Operate the furnace.
4. When the thermometer in the supply air duct stops rising (approximately five minutes), subtract the return air temperature from the supply air temperature. The difference is the temperature rise.
5. Compare the measured temperature rise to the approved temperature rise range listed on the furnace name plate. See Figure 52.
If the measured temperature rise is above the approved range, the air flow is too low. More air must be moved by speeding up the blower, by removing restrictions in the duct system, or by adding more supply or return air duct. If the measured temperature rise is below the approved range, the air flow is too much. Use lower speed tap on the multi-speed blower.
Ideally the measured temperature rise should be in the middle of the range.

SETTING BLOWER TIMINGS
The Honeywell and UTEC control boards have four quick connect terminals for connecting the motor speed leads. These are:
1. FAN SPEED — motor runs on this speed when the thermostat is in the “FAN ON” position.
2. COOL — connect desired cooling speed.
3. HEAT — connect desired heating speed.
4. HEAT/COOL (not available on UTEC-925 control board) — connect desired speed when heating and cooling speed are the same.
IMPORTANT:
Do not connect any motor speeds to “HEAT” and “COOL” if you use the “HEAT/COOL” terminal.
5. If heating and continuous fan speed are the same, “piggyback” jumper across “FAN” and “HEAT” terminals.
See Figures 53, 54, 55 and 56 for instructions for setting the blower “OFF” timings.
If cooling speed and fan speed are desired to be the same, this may be accomplished by not connecting “Y” to the integrated furnace control.
If desired for cool, fan and heat to all be the same speed, then “piggyback” jumper “H/C” to “FAN” and do not connect “Y” to the integrated furnace control. Do not connect anything to “H” or “C.”
GAS FURNACE (DIRECT DRIVE) INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHANGING BLOWER SPEED
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE FURNACE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE BLOWER SPEED. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The blower motor is wired for blower speeds required for normal operation as shown.
If additional blower speed taps are available (leads connected to “M1” and “M2” on the electronic control), speeds may be changed if necessary to fit requirements of the particular installation. Reconnect the unused motor leads to “M1” or “M2.” Check motor lead color for speed designation.
Heating speeds should not be reduced where it could cause the furnace air temperature to rise to exceed the maximum outlet air temperature specified for the unit.
IMPORTANT:
Always check air temperature rise after changing the heating speed for any reason.

HOLES IN THE VENT PIPE OR HEAT EXCHANGER CAN CAUSE TOXIC FUMES TO ENTER THE HOME, RESULTING IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR DEATH. THE VENT PIPE OR HEAT EXCHANGER MUST BE REPLACED IF THEY LEAK.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning of the heating season, the flame sensor be cleaned with steel wool by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning of the heating season, the condensate trap be inspected for debris or blockage. A blocked condensate trap can cause water to back up into the primary heat exchanger and lead to nuisance tripping of the overtemperature switches.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning of the heating season, the condensate neutralizer if used be replaced by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that an annual inspection and cleaning of all furnace markings be made to assure legibility. Attach a replacement marking, which can be obtained through the distributor, if any are found to be illegible or missing.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Contact your local distributor for a complete parts list. See enclosed sheet.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Refer to Figures 62, 63 and 64 for determining cause of unit problems.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Figures 65, 66 and 67 are complete wiring diagrams for the furnace and power sources.
Do not operate the system for extended periods without filters. A portion of the dust entrained in the air may temporarily lodge in the air duct runs and at the supply registers. Any recirculated dust particles will be heated and charred by contact with the furnace heat exchanger. This residue will soil ceilings, walls, drapes, carpets and other household articles.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to lubricate the bearings on the blower motor or the induced draft blower motor. Addition of lubricants can reduce the motor life and void the warranty.
The blower motor and induced draft blower motor are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer and do not require further attention.
The blower motor and induced draft blower motor must be cleaned periodically by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier to prevent the possibility of overheating due to an accumulation of dust and dirt on the windings or on the motor exterior. And, as suggested elsewhere in these instructions, the air filters should be kept clean. Dirty filters can restrict airflow. The motor depends upon sufficient air flowing across and through it to keep from overheating.
SYSTEM OPERATION INFORMATION
Advise The Customer
1. Keep the air filters clean. The heating system will operate better, more efficiently and more economically.
2. Arrange the furniture and drapes so that the supply air registers and the return air grilles are unobstructed.
3. Close doors and windows. This will reduce the heating load on the system.
4. Avoid excessive use of kitchen exhaust fans.
5. Do not permit the heat generated by television, lamps or radios to influence the thermostat operation.
6. Except for the mounting platform, keep all combustible articles 3 feet from the furnace and vent system.
7. IMPORTANT:
Replace all blower doors and compartment covers after servicing the furnace. Do not operate the unit without all panels and doors securely in place.
8. Explain proper operation of the system with constant air circulation.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
• The furnace should operate for many years without excessive scale build-up in the flue passageways. However, it is recommended that a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier annually inspect the flue passageways, the vent system and the main burners for continued safe operation. Pay particular attention to deterioration from corrosion or other sources.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning and at approximately half way through the heating season, a visual inspection be made of the main burner flames for the desired flame appearance by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. If the flames are distorted and/or there is evidence of back pressure, check the vent and inlet air system for blockage. If there is carbon and scale in the heat exchanger tubes, the heat exchanger assembly should be replaced.
