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
he proper balance between the air
t 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.
WARNING
!
DUCT LEAKS CAN CREATE AN UNBALANCED SYSTEM AND DRAW POLLUTANTS SUCH AS DIRT, DUST, FUMES AND ODORS INTO THE HOME CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE. FUMES AND ODORS FROM TOXIC, VOLATILE OR FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS, AS WELL AS AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST AND CARBON MONOXIDE (CO), CAN BE DRAWN INTO THE LIVING SPACE THROUGH LEAKING DUCTS AND UNBALANCED DUCT SYSTEMS CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH (SEE FIGURE 2).
• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN GARAGES OR OFF-GARAGE STORAGE AREAS - ALL JOINTS, SEAMS, AND OPENINGS IN THE EQUIPMENT AND DUCT MUST BE SEALED TO LIMIT THE MIGRATION OF TOXIC FUMES AND ODORS INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE FROM MIGRATING INTO THE LIVING SPACE.
• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN SPACES CONTAINING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS WATER HEATERS OR BOILERS ­ALL JOINTS, SEAMS, AND OPENINGS IN THE EQUIPMENT AND DUCT MUST ALSO BE SEALED TO PREVENT DEPRESSURIZATION OF THE SPACE AND POSSIBLE MIGRATION OF COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE LIVING SPACE.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
!
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SECTION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT THIS FURNACE CAN CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
R AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE,
O 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).
WARNING
!
IN CANADA, PRODUCTS CERTIFIED FOR INSTALLATION AND INTENDED TO BE VENTED WITH PLASTIC VENT SYSTEMS (PVC, CPVC) 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.

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.
NOTE: With the furnace correctly vented, the inducer will move approximately 25 cfm per 100,000 Btu’s.
IMPORTANT: No part of the combustion air and vent pipes may run under ground.
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 are located in the burner compartment. If a switch is tripped it must be manually reset.
WARNING
!
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
ther appliances, the vent system is
o likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
he following steps should be
T 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.
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.
15
Page 16
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.
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
ombustion and ventilation air for the
c 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) 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.
IMPORTANT: Only the current vent instructions apply. All 90 Plus Gas Furnaces cannot be common vented.
JOINING PIPE AND FITTINGS
WARNING
!
PVC SOLVENT CEMENTS AND PRIMERS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND DO NOT ASSEMBLE NEAR HEAT
OURCE OR AN OPEN FLAME. DO
S 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 as shown 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
or proper fit, wipe socket and
f 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
ovement until it bottoms out.
m 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.

FURNACE INSTALLATIONS
WARNING
!
THE FURNACE AND ANY OTHER
UEL-BURNING APPLIANCE MUST
F 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 (latest edition) 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
p
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for
lothes dryers
c
• 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.
WARNING
!
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.

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.

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 2. 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 19. 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. Maximum exposed vent length above the roof line is 30”. Total 2” vent length is a maximum of 48”.
Horizontal vent terminations require a 2-in. PVC tee positioned 12 inches from the outside wall. See exhaust pipe requirements, Figure 29. 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 long-sweep radius bend, 2-in. PVC elbows and a length of 2-in. PVC pipe so that the elbows are on 24-in. centers.
NOTE: Extend the exhaust a minimum of 18" from the furnace top plate before turning vent.
NON-DIRECT VENT TERMINATION LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
!
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 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.
7. Avoid areas where dripping
condensate may cause problems, such as above planters, patios, or adjacent to windows where steam may cause fogging.
FIGURE 15

NOT APPLICABLE FOR: (-)GRL-07EYBGS MODEL (-)GRL-07EMAES MODEL (-)GRL-10EZAJS MODEL
OUTSIDE WALL
In addition to the minimum clearances listed above, the vent location should also be governed by the following guidelines.
. Do not terminate under any kind
1
of patio or deck. If running the
ent under a deck, insulate it to
v insure no condensate freezes and blocks the pipe.
2. Do not locate on the side of a building with prevailing winter
inds. This will help prevent
w moisture from freezing on walls and overhangs (under eaves).
3. Do not extend vent directly through brick or masonry
urfaces. Use a rust-resistant
s 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.
7. Do not terminate in any area that may allow flue gases to stagnate.

WARNING
!
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
orcombustion 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
All exhaust piping must be installed in compliance with Part 7, “Venting of Equipment,” of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NPFA54/ ANSI Z223.1-, local codes or ordinances and these instructions.
1. Vertical piping is preferred.
2. All horizontal piping must slope upward a minimum of1/4 inch per foot of run so that condensate drains toward the furnace.
3. All horizontal runs must be supported at least every 4 feet. No sags or dips are permitted.
4. 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 PVC pipe and other pipes. Minimum 3 ft. clearance required between combustion air inlet and any other exhaust.
5. 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, pipe length is 5 feet for combustion air and exhaust.
7. Do not install elbows back to back. Allow at least 15” between elbows.

COMBUSTION AIR FOR DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
HE COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM
T 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: (-)XGY­D02/D02A, (-)XGY-D03/D03A, (-)XGY-D04/D04A, or (-)XGY-E03A.
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) 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.
STANDARD TERMINATIONS
STANDARD VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
COMBUSTION AIR PIPING
Use two medium-radius sweep elbows to keep the inlet downward to
prevent entry of rain. See Figure 19 for the proper relationship of
ombustion air to exhaust
c termination.
STANDARD HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
COMBUSTION AIR PIPING
When 3-in. pipe is used between the furnace and outside wall, reduce it to 2 inches before penetrating the
all. Up to 18 inches of 2-in. pipe
w may be used inside the wall.
The standard horizontal intake air
ermination for all models is a 2-in.
t PVC coupling with a wind deflector vane (provided) attached. Cut a
1
2
/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.
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper furnace operation, the supplied vane must be installed in the vertical position with PVC solvent as shown in Figure 20, Detail B.
The combustion air inlet terminal must be located with respect to the exhaust terminal as shown in Figure 20, Detail C.
IMPORTANT: All furnaces with horizontal air intakes, except those using concentric vent kit (-)XGY­E03/E03A, 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 (-)XGY-D02/D02A (for 2-in. pipe), (-)XGY-D03/D03A (for 3-in. pipe) and (-)XGY-D04/D04A (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 applications 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 4 for proper application. This must be reduced to 1
1
/2“ the last 12 inches for models with inputs of 45,000 through 75,000 BTUH.
ee Figure 19.
S
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 105,000 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 20, Detail A.
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 20, Detail B. Refer to section on alternate venting options when higher snow levels are anticipated.
ALTERNATE TERMINATIONS
ALTERNATE HORIZONTAL DIRECT VENT TERMINATIONS
(-)XGY-D02/D02A, -D03/D03A AND ­D04/D04A
The combustion air and exhaust terminations may be raised a maximum of 24 inches above the wall penetration to maintain the required 12 inch clearance above grade or snow level. See Figure 17. Size the pipe length according to Table 4 and Table 5.
Review the following guidelines:
• Size the entire vent system
according to the alternate, not standard, termination shown in Table 4 and Table 5.
24
Page 25
• Insulate the entire length of vent pipe, between the elbow where the pipe exits the wall and the elbow where the termination is made, with
closed-cell insulation, such as
a
Arm-a-Flex” or “Rub-a-Tex” with a
“ minimum of 1/2” thickness.
• All elbows installed on the exterior of the building must be of the long sweep nature.
• As required for the horizontal piping ran within the structure, any pipe ran horizontal outside the structure must slope upward a minimum of 1/4” per foot run so that condensate drains toward the furnace.
From the top elbow in the exhaust pipe, extend a length of PVC pipe outward so that it terminates exactly 12 inches from the wall. See Figure
17. Reduce the exhaust pipe
extension to is 1
1
2 inch pipe for 45,000 BTUH through 75,000 BTUH units.
The 45,000 BTUH unit only uses kit (-)XGY-D02/D02A. The 60,000 BTUH and 75,000 BTUH downflow only units may use kits (-)XGY-D02/D02A or (-)XGY-D03/D03A depending on pipe lengths and number of elbows. Use kit (-)XGY-D03/D03A with 90,000 BTUH downflow through 120,000 BTUH units or
upflow 90,000 or
120,000. The (-)XGY-D04/D04A kit
only applies to the 120,000 BTUH unit using an alternate termination and excessively long runs. See Table 4.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS HORIZONTAL DIRECT VENTS
CAUTION
!
THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS AND MOISTURE IN THE FLUE GASES WILL CONDENSE AS THEY LEAVE THE TERMINATION. THE
ONDENSATE CAN FREEZE ON
C 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.
The vent must be installed with the following minimum clearances. See Figures 21 and 22.
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. Locate the furnace combustion air inlet minimum of 3 feet from the vent of any other gas or fuel burning appliance 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 in these instructions.
In addition to the minimum clearances
listed above, the vent location should also be governed by the following guidelines.
. Do not terminate under any kind
1
of patio or deck. If running the
ent under a deck, insulate it to
v 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
ecirculate.
r
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.
FIGURE 21
MOISTURE ZONES
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
ncreased equally for each
i additional increase in horizontal overhang to a maximum vertical clearance of 6 feet.
7. Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within 6 feet horizontally
nd above and below vent.
a
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.

CONNECTING TO FURNACE
IMPORTANT: Clean and debur all pipe cuts. The shavings must not be allowed to block the exhaust, combustion air or condensate drain pipes.
UPFLOW FURNACE
The exhaust pipe connection is a 2-in.
emale PVC pipe fitting extending
f 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 combustion air connection is at the right side of the top plate. An alternate combustion air connection may be made on the right side of the jacket. This opening has a plastic cap. A combustion 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 27.
DOWNFLOW/HORIZONTAL FURNACE
The exhaust pipe connection is a 2-in. female 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 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 combustion air connection is a 2­in. 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, drill two pilot holes, and add two sheet metal screws through the coupling into the extrusion to secure it in place before piping. 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. See Figure 28.

GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION
!
O NOT RUN DRAIN OUTDOORS.
D FREEZING OF CONDENSATE CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into a
common drain line with an air con­ditioner evaporator coil drain. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in over-flow 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 Figure 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.
IMPORTANT: If installing the unit over a finished ceiling or living area, be certain to install an auxiliary condensate
rain pan under the entire unit

Drill two mount the bracket. Mount the trap and bracket to the right side with the drain elbow pointing through the knockout. Connect the 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. Fill trap with water.
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. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in overflow of the coil pan and negate the furnace blocked drain shutoff control.
DOWNFLOW MODELS
IMPORTANT: There are two options
when choosing a height for the condensate riser:
CONDENSATE OVERFLOW: With a
3

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 main gas valve and manifold. Do not overtighten gas valve on pipe.
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 furnace. The
as pipe gasket in the cabinet does
g not seal around a flexible gas line.
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 requires that all flexible connectors be less than 36”.
It is important to have all openings in the cabinet burner compartment sealed for proper furnace operation.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE that the
furnace gas valve not be subjected to high gas line supply pressures.
DISCONNECT the furnace and its individual manual gas stop from the gas supply piping during any pressure
testing that exceeds 1/2 PSIG. (3.48 kPa).

NOTE: Do not use 24 volt control wiring smaller than No. 18 AWG. (Refer to Table 9.)
See Figure 41 for thermostat wiring options.
A single- or two-stage thermostat may be used, however, a two-stage thermostat is recommended for optimum performance.
The room thermostat must be compatible with the integrated furnace control on the furnace. Generally, all thermostats that are not of the “current robbing” type are compatible with the integrated furnace control being used.
Install the room thermostat in accordance with the instruction sheet in the box with the thermostat. Run the thermostat lead wires inside the control compartment. Connect the thermostat as shown on the wiring diagram. Never install the thermostat on an outside wall or where it will be influenced by drafts, concealed hot or cold water pipes, lighting fixtures, radiation from fireplace, rays of sun, lamps, television, radios or air streams from registers. Refer to the instructions packed with the thermostat for best anticipator adjustment or selection. Locate the thermostat approximately five feet up from the floor.

ISOLATION RELAY
IMPORTANT: NOT ALL ELECTRONIC
NIGHT SETBACK THERMOSTATS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE FURNACE CONTROL SYSTEM. SOME MAY REQUIRE AN ISOLATION RELAY.
If an isolation relay is needed, install it as close to the control board as possible. Use a single-pole, single­throw relay with a 24 volt operating coil. The relay contacts should be designed for 24 volt loads.
Connect one end of the operating coil to the thermostat “W” terminal. Connect the other end of the coil to the “C” terminal on the control board.
Connect a jumper from the coil terminal connected to the thermostat to one of the normally open relay contacts.
Connect the other side of the normally open relay contacts to the control board “W” terminal if using a two stage thermostat. Connect that one side of the normally open relay contacts to the control board “W2” terminal if using a single stage thermostat.
When the thermostat calls for heat, it powers the 24 volt operating coil. This
closes the relay contacts and conducts power from terminal 3 and 4 to terminal “W” on the control board and starts the furnace ignition sequence. See Figure 42.
NOTE: Use of an isolation relay with the two stage furnace is not normally needed.
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
Electronic air cleaner line voltage power can be supplied from the screw terminal “EAC” and a line voltage neutral screw terminal on the control board. This will power the electronic air cleaner whenever the circulating air blower is in operation.
HUMIDIFIER
Line voltage power can be supplied from screw terminal “HUM” to a line voltage neutral screw terminal on the control board. This will power the humidifier during a normal heat sequence after the blower has turned on.
NOTE: Maximum current of 1.0 Amp for each option.

TWO-STAGE TWINNING OPERATION USING A SINGLE-STAGE THERMOSTAT
A two-stage thermostat will give the most optimum performance. The furnace (when twinned) can operate using a single-stage thermostat.
OPTION A: To run both units together as a single-stage furnace with NO staging (100% high heat always) wire the two furnaces together as shown in Figure 43.
Both controls must have jumper P6 in the “TWIN” position (see Figure 48).
Both controls must have jumper P7 in the “5” or “7” position (see Figure 48).
OPTION B: Both controls must have jumper P6 in the “TWIN” position (see Figure 48).
Both controls must have jumper P7 in the “5” or “7” position (see Figure 48).
For the first fire or twelve minutes of operation, the furnace will run at low fire. If the thermostat does not satisfy in fire or twelve minutes, the furnaces will automatically switch to high fire and will run on high fire until the thermostat is satisfied. See Figure 43 for the wiring diagram for this configuration.
TWO-STAGE OPERATION
(See Figure 45)
a. Control board "ONE" is on
furnace connected to the thermostat.
b. The 24 VAC supply to both
control boards must be in phase with each other.
c. Connect the "C," "W1," “W2,”
“Y,” and "TWIN" terminals to counterparts on each control.
d. Both control boards must have
jumper P6 in the “TWIN” position (see Figure 48).
Both controls must have jumper P7 in the “NONE” position (see Figure 48).

LP GAS AT HIGH ALTITUDE ELEVATIONS
LP Gas is a manufactured gas that has consistent heating value across most regions.
The NFGC guidelines are used with the following exception:
The recommended LP Gas high altitude orifice selections differ slightly in that the NFGC LP orifice chart, as they are not accurate for Rheem products. The National Fuel Gas Code LP orifices are based on an 11" of water column pressure at the orifice, which differs from Rheem products that use 10" of water column at the orifice. This difference requires a deviation from the NFGC orifice size recommendations. The Sea Level input should still be reduced by 4% per thousand ft. and the orifice size must be selected based on the reduced input selection shown in Table 12.
ALTERNATE METHOD FOR CANADIAN
HIGH-
ALTITUDE DERATE
In Canada, unless an orifice change is specifically mandated by local codes, an alternate method of altitude deration through a reduction in manifold pressure is acceptable as
escribed in Table 13.

The information in Table 13 is based on a heating value of 1000 BTU per cubic feet of natural gas, and 2500 BTU per cubic feet of LP gas.
IMPORTANT: Actual input rates must be measured on-site with manifold pressure adjustment to ensure that an actual 10% reduction in input rate is

START-UP PROCEDURES
A gas furnace’s firing rate, temperature rise and operation should be checked after installation. During this process we recommend that doors and windows be opened, smoke alarms disabled temporarily, as furnaces may have some residual smoke and odor upon initial operation through the first heating cycle. We do all we can to control our manufacturing processes, but it is possible to have this issue on certain sizes and models on occasion. Failure to follow this caution could result in a nuisance smoke (fire call) or other smoke or odor complaint from the customer.
DIRECT SPARK IGNITION LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a direct spark ignition device. This device lights the main burners each time the room thermostat (closes) calls for heat. See lighting instructions on the furnace.
During initial start-up, it is not unusual for odor or smoke to come out of any room registers. It is recommended to ensure proper ventilation by opening windows and doors, before initial firing.
The furnace has a negative pressure switch that is a safety during a call for heat. The induced draft blower must pull a negative pressure on the heat exchanger to close the negative pressure switch. The induced draft blower must maintain at least the negative pressure switch set point for the furnace to operate. If the induced draft blower fails to close or maintain the closing of the negative pressure switch, a “no heat call” would result.
WARNING
!
TO START FURNACE
1. BE SURE THAT THE MANUAL GAS STOP HAS BEEN IN THE “OFF” POSITION FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MANUALLY LIGHT THE MAIN BURNERS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN CAUSE A
FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
2. Set the room thermostat to the lowest setting.
3. Remove furnace panel.
4. Turn the gas control knob to the “ON” position, or set the gas control switch to the “ON” position.
5. Securely replace furnace panel.
6. Turn on the manual gas stop and the electrical power.
7. Set the room thermostat to “Heat” and adjust to desired room temperature.
8. Complete installation checklist.
WARNING
!
SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, SHUT OFF THE MANUAL GAS STOP TO 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.
IGNITOR PLACEMENT, ALIGNMENT & LOCATION
Ignition failure may be a result of improper ignitor alignment caused during a service call or other work done to the furnace in the field. When performing any work on the burner, heat exchanger, etc., the technician must check alignment of the spark ignitor. Misalignment of the ignitor could cause a failure to light or rough ignition. The correct ignitor alignment is shown in Figure 47.
Sequence of operation with a single stage heat thermostat NOTE: Single-stage operation is
determined by the position of the jumper at position P7 of the control board. Options are 5 minutes between first and second stage or 12 minutes between first and second stage (see Figure 48).
Do not leave jumper at P7 in the “NONE” position when using a single-
stage thermostat with the timed staging feature. If the jumper is left on “NONE”, the furnace will never reach high heat (100% heat).
For single-stage operation, “W” from the thermostat must be connected to “W” on the furnace control.
See the section of this book titled “Electrical Wiring – Thermostat” for a wiring diagram showing how to connect a thermostat (see Figure
41). a. Connect the “W” terminal on the
thermostat to the “W” terminal on the IFC. Do not connect any wire to “W” on IFC when using a single­stage thermostat.
b. When there is a call for heat, the
“R” and “W2” contacts close and the IFC runs a self check routine to verify that both of the pressure switch contacts are open. The limit switch contacts are constantly monitored.
c. The induced draft motor starts on
high until the low and high pressure switch contacts close (a maximum of 60 seconds), and then runs for a 30-second pre­purge. After the 30-second pre­purge, the spark ignitor energizes and the high stage of the gas valve opens, lighting the burners.
d. After the gas valve energizes, the
remote flame sensor must prove ignition for one second using the process of flame rectification. If the burners do not light or flame is not sensed, the system goes through another ignition sequence. It does this up to 4 times.
e. The IBM starts on low speed 20
seconds after the burners light and flame is sensed. The induced draft motor and gas valve switch to low speed. The furnace operates on low fire for 12 minutes and then, if the thermostat is not satisfied, shifts to high fire, causing the draft inducer to go to high speed, the

gas valve to 100% and the main blower goes to high-fire heating speed.
f. When the thermostat cycle ends, the
gas valve de-energizes, and the burners go out.
g. The draft inducer will continue
running for a 10 second post purge.
h. The main blower will run for for the
user-defined blower-off delay (this timing is field adjustable, for 90, 120 150, or 180 seconds at Jumper P6 on the furnace control board). See Figure 48 for switch settings.
Sequence if the system doesn’t light or doesn’t sense flame:
a. If flame is not sensed within 8
seconds after the gas valve energizes, the valve and the ignitor are de­energized. The induced draft motor will, stop momentarily, and then restart to check PS operation.
b. The ignition process goes through
three more tries.
c. If there is no ignition after the fourth
trial, the furnace goes into soft lockout for one hour.
d. The sequence repeats after a one
hour delay and continues repeating until ignition is successful or the call for heat is terminated.
e. To reset the lockout, break power
either at the thermostat or at the unit disconnect switch for 30 seconds. The furnace will then go through another set of trials for ignition.
f. If flame is established and maintained
during the trial for ignition period and flame is lost, the gas valve is de­energized, the draft inducer stops after a 10-second post-purge. The blower motor runs at the high-fire or low-fire heating speed (depending on state when flame was lost) until it completes the blower-off delay. When the blower-off delay is over, the control initiates another ignition trial period by starting the inducer for the pre-purge. The control will recycle up to 5 flame losses (4 re-cycles) within a single call for heat before going into lockout.
TO SHUT DOWN FURNACE
1. Set the room thermostat to its lowest setting.
2. Shut off the gas to main burners by setting the gas control switch to the “OFF” position, or by turning the manual gas stop closed.
Sequence of operation with two stage thermostat
See the section of this book titled “Electrical Wiring - Thermostat” for a wiring diagram showing how to connect a thermostat.
Connect W1 on thermostat to W on IFC. Connect W2 on thermostat to W2 on IFC.
Call for 1st stage heat
a. R and W thermostat contacts close
and the IFC runs a self check routine. After the IFC verifies that both sets of pressure switch contacts are open, the induced draft motor starts on high until both pressure switch contacts close (a maximum of 60 seconds).
b. After a 30 second pre-purge the spark
igniter energizes and the gas valve (high stage) opens, lighting the burners.
c. After the burners light, the remote
flame sensor must prove ignition. If the burners do not light or flame cannot be proven, the system goes through another ignition sequence. It does this up to 4 times.
d. Twenty seconds after flame sense,
the main blower energizes on low speed, the gas valve drops to low fire, and the inducer drops to low speed. The furnace continues to run on low until the call for heat is satisfied or the second-stage contacts close. If the first-stage call for heat is satisfied the gas valve de-energizes and the induced draft motor continues running for a 10 second post purge time. The main blower runs for the user-defined blower-off delay (this timing is field adjustable at Jumper P6). See Figure 48 for switch settings.
Call for 2nd stage heat after 1st stage
R and W2 thermostat contacts close, calling for 2-stage heat. The induced draft motor then switches to high speed and the high pressure switch contacts will close. The gas valve switches to high fire and the main blower switches to high-fire heating speed.
2nd stage heat satisfied, 1st stage heat still required.
R and W2 thermostat contacts open (W1 to R remains closed). The induced draft motor switches to low speed, the main blower motor switches to low-fire heating speed and the gas valve changes to low. The furnace continues to run in this mode until the first-stage heat call is satisfied. The system will shut down as noted in “d,” under first-stage call for heat.
Call for second-stage heat with no other existing heat call present.
a-c. Same operation as call for first-stage
heat
FIGURE 48
TWO-STAGE, 80 PLUS IFC JUMPER SELECTIONS
d. Main blower starts on high speed
20 seconds after gas valve energizes. The furnace continues to run on high until the W2 contacts open. If W2 and W1 open at the same time (both high & low stages are satisfied), the gas valve de-energizes and the inducer continues to run for a 10­second post-purge. The main blower runs for the user selected blower-off delay. See Figure 48 for switch settings.
NOTE: Under certain conditions the furnace may alternate between low and high fire continuously. This operation is based on demand from the thermostat and is controlled by the thermostat. This operation is normal and can be expected at times to maintain optimum comfort.
SETTING BLOWER TIMING
The UT ELECTRONIC CONTROLS IFC has four quick connect terminals for connecting the motor speed leads. These are:
1. FAN SPEED/LOW — motor runs on this speed when the thermostat is in the “FAN ON” position or when in low-fire heating speed heat.
2. COOL — connect desired cooling speed.
3. HEAT — connect desired high­fire heating speed.
4. HEAT/COOL — connect desired speed when high heating and cooling speed are the same.
High fire and low fire blower timing are the same.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect any motor speeds to “HEAT” or “COOL” if you use the “HEAT/COOL” terminal.

1. When adjusting the furnace input, he high fire input should be
t checked. The high fire manifold pressure should be 3.5’ W.C. Follow these steps to be sure the furnace is high fire mode:
. With a single stage thermostat, the
a
furnace runs for 12 minutes on low fire before shifting to high fire. To be certain that it is on high fire, jump terminals “W” and “W2” on the control board in the blower compartment.
b. With a two stage thermostat, set
the thermostat to its highest setting to keep the furnace operating in the high fire mode.
2. To adjust high fire manifold
pressure, remove the adjustment cover screw on the outlet end of the gas valve and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise to reduce the pressure. Replace the cover screw securely. See Figure 38.
3. The low fire manifold pressure
should be 1.7” W.C. As mentioned above, the furnace remains in the low fire mode for 12 minutes upon a heat call with a single stage thermostat. With a two stage thermostat, disconnect the thermostat lead to the “W2” terminal on the IFC and the furnace will remain in the low fire mode. To adjust the pressure, remove the regulator cover, on top of the valve, and adjust as noted under Step 2, above. After the adjustment replace the screw cover securely.
NOTE: Use a 3/32” allen wrench or small-blade screwdriver for making the pressure adjustment.

SETTING INPUT RATE
The furnace is shipped from the factory with #50 orifices. With -278 option code, furnaces will be shipped with #51 orifice for elevations of 5000 ft. 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.
Proper input is important to prevent over firing of the furnace beyond its design-rated input. NEVER SET
INPUT ABOVE THAT SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE.
To check furnace input:
1. Make certain that all other gas appliances are shut off, with the exception of pilot burners.
2. Start the furnace
3. Time the meter to measure the time required to burn one cubic foot of gas. See Table 14.

CAUTION
!
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EACH DUCT SYSTEM BE SIZED AND INSTALLED FOR THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION BY PROPERLY APPLYING THE APPROPRIATE INDUSTRY ACCEPTED
TANDARD. IF LESS THAN MINIMUM
S STANDARDS ARE APPLIED, THE EQUIPMENT USER COULD EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE HIGHER UTILITY BILLS, MAJOR COMPONENT FAILURE, VARYING DEGREES OF AIR NOISE OR OTHER UNSATISFACTORY ISSUES, OVER WHICH THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER HAS NO CONTROL.
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 49.
2. Insert a thermometer in the return air duct as close to the furnace as possible.
3. Operate the furnace. High fire and low fire heating modes have the same temperature rise range.
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 50.
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.
RISE RANGE IS 40 TO 70 DEGREES, THE MOST IDEAL RISE WOULD BE 55 DEGREES (THE MIDDLE OF THE RISE RANGE). IN ALL
PPLICATIONS, THE INSTALLER

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 IFC), speeds may be changed if necessary to fit requirements of the particular installation. Reconnect the unused motor leads to “M1” or “M2” on the Integrated Furnace Control Board (IFC). 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: Any combination of motor taps to the IFC can be used provided the temperature rise is within the specified range when in high or low heat and that there is enough airflow in the cooling mode. When changing the motor tap speeds, the temperature rise must be checked on both heat speeds and temperature drop in cooling must be checked again after the change is made to ensure that the temperatures are within the required specified ranges.

WARNING
!
DISCONNECT MAIN ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE UNIT BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE.
AILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE
F ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
Have your qualified installer, service
gency or the gas supplier instruct you
a on how to access your filters for regular maintenance.
FILTERS
Filter application and placement are critical to airflow, which may affect the heating and cooling system performance. Reduced airflow can shorten the life of the system’s major components, such as motor, limits, heat exchanger, evaporator coil or compressor. Consequently, we recommend that the return air duct system have only one filter location. The most common location will be inside the furnace or a filter base. For systems with a return air filter grille or multiple filter grilles, can have a filter installed at each of the return air openings. Your HVAC professional can show you where they have installed the filter(s).
If high efficiency filters or electronic air cleaners are used in the system, it is important that the airflow is not reduced to maximize system performance and life. Always verify that the system’s airflow is not impaired by the filtering system that has been installed, by performing a temperature rise and temperature drop test.
Keep the filter(s) clean at all times. Vacuum dirt from filter, wash with detergent and water, air dry thoroughly and reinstall.
DO NOT DOUBLE FILTER THE RETURN AIR DUCT SYSTEM. DO NOT FILTER THE SUPPLY AIR DUCT SYSTEM.
NOTE: Some filters must be resized to fit certain units and applications. See Table 16 and Figures 51 & 52.
1. 21” - 75,000(B), 90,000 & 105,000 BTUH units require removal of a
3.5-in. segment of filter and frame to get the proper width for a side filter.
2. 24.5” - 120,000 BTUH unit requires removal of a 7" segment of filter and frame to get the proper width for a side filter.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM 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 AND MAY RESULT IN UNPLEASANT ODORS.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to lubricate the bearings on the blower motor or the induced draft blower
otor. Addition of lubricants can reduce
m 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.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
• The furnace should operate for many years without excessive scale build­up 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
e made of the main burner flames
b 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.
WARNING
!
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 and be filled with water. 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.
