F. ROOFTOP INSTALLATION
1. Before locating the unit on the roof, make sure that the roof structure is adequate to
support the weight involved. (See electrical & physical tables in this book for weight
of unit.) THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND THE INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY.
2. For rigging and roofcurb details, see Figures 14, 15, and 16.
3. The location of the unit on the roof should be such as to provide proper access for
inspection and servicing.
IMPORTANT: If unit will not be put into service immediately, block off supply and return
air openings to prevent excessive condensation.
G. DUCTWORK
The installing contractor should fabricate ductwork in accordance with local codes. Use
industry manuals as a guide when sizing and designing the duct system. Contact Air
Conditioning Contractors of America, 1513 16th St. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.
Place the unit as close to the conditioned space as possible allowing clearances as indicated. Run ducts as directly as possible to supply and return outlets. Use of non-flammable weatherproof flexible connectors on both supply and return connections at unit to
reduce noise transmission is recommended.
On ductwork exposed to outside temperature and humidity, use a minimum of 2” of
insulation and a vapor barrier. Distribution system in attic, furred space or crawl space
should be insulated with at least 2” of insulation.
1
⁄2” to 1” thick insulation is usually suffi-
cient for ductwork inside the air conditioned space.
Provide balancing dampers for each branch duct in the supply system. Properly support
ductwork from the structure.
!
WARNING
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CONNECT RETURN DUCTWORK TO
ANY OTHER HEAT PRODUCING DEVICE SUCH AS FIREPLACE INSERT,
STOVE, ETC. UNAUTHORIZED USE OF SUCH DEVICES MAY RESULT IN FIRE,
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, EXPLOSION, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
13
14
IMPORTANT: In the event that the return air ducts must be run through an “unconfined”
space containing other fuel burning equipment, it is imperative that the user/homeowner
must be informed against future changes in construction which might change this to a
“confined space.” Also, caution the user/homeowner against any future installation of
additional equipment (such as power ventilators, clothes dryers, etc., within the existing
unconfined and/or confined space which might create a negative pressure within the
vicinity of other solid, liquid, or gas fueled appliances.
H. RETURN AIR
II
. FILTERS
The installer must install field supplied filters in the return air duct. A field installed filter
grille is recommended for easy and convenient access to the filters for periodic inspection and cleaning. Filters must have adequate face area for the rated air quantity of the
unit. See air delivery tables for recommended filter size. A field installed internal filter kit
RXRY-B01 is available.
!
WARNING
NEVER ALLOW PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION OR THE FLUE PRODUCTS TO
ENTER THE RETURN AIR DUCTWORK, OR THE CIRCULATING 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.
FAILURE TO PREVENT PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM BEING CIRCULATED INTO THE LIVING SPACE CAN CREATE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS, INCLUDING CAROBON MONOXIDE POISONING THAT COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

VIII. GAS SUPPLY, CONDENSATE DRAIN AND
VIII. PIPING
A. GAS CONNECTION
IMPORTANT: Connect this unit only to gas supplied by a commercial utility.
1. Install gas piping in accordance with local codes and regulations of the local utility
company. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the specifications of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition.
NOTE: The use of flexible gas connectors is not permitted.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the gas shut-off valve to be
a T-handle gas cock.
2. Connect the gas line to the gas pipe inlet opening provided into the 1/2” inlet valve.
See Figure 2 for typical piping.
3. Size the gas line to the furnace adequate enough to prevent undue pressure drop
and never less than 1/2”.
4. Install a drip leg or sediment trap in the gas supply line as close to the unit as possible.
5. Install an outside ground joint union to connect the gas supply to the control assembly at the burner tray.
6. Gas valves have been factory installed. Install a manual gas valve where local codes
specify a shut-off valve outside the unit casing. (See Figure 19.)
7. Make sure piping is tight. A pipe compound resistant to the action of liquefied
petroleum gases must be used at all threaded pipe connections.
8. IMPORTANT: Any additions, changes or conversions required for the furnace to satisfactorily meet the application should be made by a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier, using factory-specified or approved parts. In the commonwealth of Massachusetts, installation must be performed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter for appropriate fuel.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the furnace and its individual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig or isolate the system from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of this gas supply system at pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.

TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS, USE A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION OR OTHER
APPROVED METHOD. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
IMPORTANT: Check the rating plate to make certain the appliance is equipped to burn
the type of gas supplied. Care should be taken after installation of this equipment that
the gas control valve not be subjected to high gas supply line pressure.
In making gas connections, avoid strains as they may cause noise and damage the controls. A backup wrench is required to be used on the valve to avoid damage.
The capacities of gas pipe of different diameters and lengths in cu. ft. per hr. with pressure drop of 0.5 in. and specific gravity of 0.60 (natural gas) are shown in Table 2.
After determining the pipe length, select the pipe size which will provide the minimum
cubic feet per hour required for the gas input rating of the furnace. By formula:
Gas Input of Furnace
(BTU/HR)
Cu. Ft. Per Hr. Required =
Heating Value of Gas
(BTU/FT
3
)
The gas input of the furnace is marked on the furnace rating plate. The heating value of
the gas (BTU/FT
3
) may be determined by consulting the local natural gas utility or the
L.P. gas supplier.
B. LP CONVERSION
Convert the valve to use liquefied 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 20.
NOTE: Order the correct LP conversion kit from the furnace manufacturer.
See
Conversion Kit Index shipped with unit for proper LP kit number. Furnace conversion to LP gas must be performed by a qualified technician.
!
WARNING
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. THE USE OF AN OPEN
FLAME CAN RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
!
WARNING
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED AT THE FACTORY FOR USE ON NATURAL GAS ONLY.
CONVERSION TO LP GAS REQUIRES A SPECIAL KIT SUPPLIED BY THE DISTRIBUTOR OR MANUFACTURER. MAILING ADDRESSES ARE LISTED ON THE
FURNACE RATING PLATE, PARTS LIST AND WARRANTY. FAILURE TO USE

Supply and manifold pressure taps are located on the gas valve body 1/8” N.P.T.
Use a properly calibrated manometer gauge for accurate gas pressure readings.
Only small variations in the gas flow should be made by means of the pressure regulator
adjustment. Furnaces functioning on LP gas must be set 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.
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 main gas valve and
remove the gas manifold.
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.
Check of input is important to prevent over-firing of the furnace beyond its designrated input. NEVER SET INPUT ABOVE THAT SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE. Use
the following table or formula to determine input rate.

C. NOx MODELS
When converting units equipped with NOx inserts to LP gas, the stainless steel mesh
inserts in the entrance of the tubular exchangers are not required to meet SCAQMD NOx
emission levels. Carefully remove these inserts before firing this furnace on LP gas. This
furnace is not designed to operate on LP gas with the NOx inserts in place.
Step by step instructions on removing the NOx inserts and retaining rod are included in the
Conversion Kit Installation Instructions.
