1. Safe Installation Requirements

FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ASPHIXIATION HAZARD Improper adjustment, alteration, service,

maintance or installation could cause death, personal injury, and/or property damage.

Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons could result in hazards to you and others. Installation MUST conform with local codes or, in

the absence of local codes, with codes of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction.

The information contained in this manual is intended for use by a qualified service agency that

is experienced in such work, is familiar with all precautions and safety procedures required in such work, and is equipped with the proper tools

and test instruments.

NOTE: This furnace is design-certified by the CSA International (formerly AGA and CGA) for installation in the United States and Canada. Refer to the appropriate codes, along with this manual, for proper installation.

Use only the Type of gas approved for this furnace (see Rating Plate on unit). Overfiring will result in failure of heat exchanger and cause dangerous operation. (Furnaces can be converted to LP gas with approved kit.)

• Install this furnace only in a location and position as speci- fied in "2. Installation"of these instructions.

• Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to the fur- nace as specified in "4. Combustion and Ventilation Air" of

these instructions. Combustion products must be discharged outdoors. Con-

nect this furnace to an approved vent system only, as spe- cified in "5. Gas Vent lnstallation, 6. Horizontal Venting and

7. Masonry Chimney Venting"of these instructions.

Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a com- mercially available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections, as specified in "8. Gas Supply and Piping, Final Check"of these instruc-

tions. Always install furnace to operate within the furnace's in-

tended temperature-rise range with a duct system which has an external static pressure within the allowable range, as specified in "Technical Support Manual" of these in- structions. See furnace rating plate.

• When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space con-

taining the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating out- side the space containing the furnace.

• A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be installed as specified in "2. Installation"of these

instructions.

• This furnace is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings or structures under construction.

See "2. Installation, Item 10'_

• This furnace is NOT approved for installation in mo- bile homes, trailers or recreation vehicles.

• Install correct filter type and size.

• Unit MUST be installed so electrical components are pro- tected from direct contact with water.

Safety Rules

Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable service providing it is properly installed and maintained. However,

abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and create hazards for you, the owner.

A. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission encourages

installation of carbon monoxide alarms. There can be various sources of carbon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The

sources could be gas-fired clothes dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters, furnaces, gas-fired fireplaces, wood fireplaces.

Carbon monoxide can cause serious bodily injury and/or death. Carbon monoxide or "CO" is a colorless and odorless

gas produced when fuel is not burned completely or when the flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.

Therefore, to help alert people of potentially dangerous ca rbon monoxide levels, you should have a commercially available carbon monoxide alarm that is listed by a nationally recog-

nized testing agency in accordance with Underwriters Labora- tories Inc. Standard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon

Monoxide Alarms, ANSI/UL 2034 or the CSA 6.19-01 Resi- dential Carbon Alarming Devices installed and maintained in

the building or dwelling concurrently with the gas- fired furnace installation (see Note below). The alarm should be installed as

recommended by the alarm manufacturer's installation in- structions.

B. There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building

or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury, death, and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert people of potentially da ngerous fire or smoke, you should have

fire extinguisher and smoke alarms listed by Underwriters Lab- oratories installed and maintained in the building or dwelling

(see Note below).

Note: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any alarms

and makes no representations regarding any brand or type of alarms.

C. To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you should

do the following:

1. Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit. This will help you understand how your unit operates and the haz- ards involved with gas and electricity.

2. Do not use this unit if any part has been under water. Im- mediately call a qualified service agency to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control

which has been under water.

3. Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that provide air to the unit. Air must be provided for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases.

Frozen Water Pipe Hazard Ifyourfurnace remains off for an extended time, the pipes in your

home could freeze and burst, resulting in serious water damage.

If the structure will be unattended during cold weather you should take these precautions.

FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD

Failure to protect against the risk of freezing could

result in property damage. Do not leave your home unattended for long periods

during freezing weather without turning off water

Turn off the water supply to the structure and drain the water lines if possible and add an antifreeze for potable water to drain traps and toilet tanks. Open faucets in appropriate

areas.

-or-

supply and draining water pipes or otherwise

)rotecting against the risk of frozen pipes and

resultant damage.

Your furnace is designed solely to provide a safe and comfortable living environment. The furnace is NOT designed to ensure that

water pipes will not freeze. It is equipped with several safety de- vices that are designed to turn the furnace off and prevent it from

restarting in the event of various potentially unsafe conditions.

Have someone check the structure frequently during cold weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes from freezing. Instruct them on a service agency to call to provide service, if required.

-or-

3. Install a reliable remote sensing device that will notify some- body of freezing conditions within the home.

2. Installation

4. Install the vent pipes as short as practical. (See 5. Gas Vent Installation section).

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD.

Failure to properly vent this furnace or other appliances could result in death or personal injury.

If this furnace is replacing a previously common- vented furnace, it may be necessary to resize the

existing vent system to prevent oversizing problems for the other remaining appliances(s). See Venting and Combustion Air Check in the 5. Gas

Vent Installation section of this instruction.

Location and Clearances

If furnace is a replacement, it is usually best to install the furnace where the old one was. Choose the location or evaluate the exist-

ing location based upon the minimum clearance and furnace di- mensions (Figure 1 or Figure 2).

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD. Failure to follow safety warnings could result in

death or personal injury. Do NOT operate furnace in a corrosive

atmosphere containing chlorine, fluorine or any other damaging chemicals which could harm the furnace and vent system, and permit spillage of

combustion products into an occupied space. Refer to 4. Combustion & Ventilation Air section,

Contaminated Combustion Air for combustion air evaluation and remedy.

Installation Requirements

1. Install furnace level.

2. This furnace is NOT to be used for temporary heat of buildings or structures under construction.

3. Install furnace as centralized as practical with respect to the heat distribution system.

5. Do NOT install furnace directly on carpeting, tile or other com- bustible material other than wood flooring.

6. Maintain clearance for fire safety and servicing. A front clear- ance of 24" is minimum for access to the burner, controls and

filter. See clearance requirements in Figure 1 or Figure 2.

7. Use a raised base if the floor is damp or wet at times.

8. Residential garage installations require:

• Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18" (457 mm) above the floor.

• Furnace must be located or physically protected from possible damage by a vehicle.

If the furnace is to be suspended from the floor joists in a base- ment or a crawl space or the rafters in an attic, it is necessary to use steel pipe straps or an angle iron frame to attach the fur-

nace. These straps should be attached to the furnace bottom side with sheet metal screws and to the rafters or joists with bolts. The preferred method is to use an angle iron frame bolted to the rafters or joists.

10. This furnace may be used for construction heat provided that:

• The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to these installation instructions. A return air duct is pro- vided, sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated out- side the space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative pressure condition as created by the circulating

air blower, causing a flame rollout and/or drawing com- bustion products into the structure.

• The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be "hot wired" to provide heat continuously to the structure

without thermostatic control.

• Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and

other construction materials. It also prevents the entrain- ment of drywall dust into combustion air, which ca n ca use fouling and plugging of furnace components.

• The temperature of the return air to the furnace is main- tained between 55 ° F (13 ° C) and 80 ° F (27° C), with no

evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while the structure is under construction is deemed to be

intermittent operation per our installation instructions.

441 01 261302

The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the furnace rating plate, and the firing rate has been setto

the rating plate value.

The filters used to clean the circulating air during the construction process must be either changed or thor- oughly cleaned prior to occupancy.

Outdoor Combustion Air Method

Furnaces require ventilation openings to provide sufficient air for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases. All duct or open-

ings for supplying combustion and ventilation air must comply with the gas codes, or in the absence of local codes, the applicable na-

tional codes.

Combustion and ventilation air must be supplied in accordance with one of the following:

1. Section 8.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code, (NFGC), ANSI Z223.1-2002/NFPA 54-2002

in the U.S.,

2. Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, and 7.8 of National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (NSCNGPIC), CSA B149.1-05 in Canada,

3. Applicable provisions of the local building code.

When the installation is complete, check that all appliances have adequate combustion air and are venting properly. See Venting

And Combustion Air Check in %. Gas Vent Installation "Section in this manual.

Contaminated Combustion Air

Installations in certain areas or types of structures could cause ex- cessive exposure to contaminated air having chemicals or halo-

gens that will result in safety and performance related problems and may harm the furnace. These instances must use only out-

door air for combustion.

The following areas or types of structures may contain or have ex- posure to the substances listed below. The installation must be

evaluated carefully as it may be necessary to provide outdoor air for combustion.

• Commercial buildings.

• Buildings with indoor pools.

• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms.

• Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms.

Standard and Known-Air-Infiltration Rate Methods

Indoor air is permitted for combustion and ventilation, if the Standard or Known-air-lnfiltration Rate Method is used,

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD. Failure to supply adequate combustion air could

result in death or personal injury. Most homes will require additional air from outdoors

for combustion and ventilation. A space with at least 50 cubic feet per 1,OOOBTUH input rating or homes

with tight construction may need outdoor air to

supplement air infiltration for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases.

441 O1 261302

The Standard Method may be used, if the space has no less vol- ume than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUH of the maximum input rat-

ings for all gas appliances installed in the space. The standard method permits indoor air to be used for combustion and ventila-

tion air. The Known Air Infiltration Rate Method shall be used if the in-

filtration rate is known to be less than 0.40 air changes per hour

Ventilation Air

Some provincial codes and local municipalities require ventilation or make-up air be brought into the conditioned space as replace-

ment air. Whichever method is used, the mixed return air tempera- ture across the heat exchanger MUST not fall below 60 ° continuously, or 55 ° on an intermittent basis so that flue gases will

not condense excessively in the heat exchanger. Excessive con- densation will shorten the life of the heat exchanger and possibly void your warranty.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each

appliance connected to the venting system being placed

into operation, could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death:

The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into

operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:

1.Seal any unused openings in the venting system.

2.Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223,1/NFPA 54 or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and these instructions. Deter-

mine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, cor- rosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe

condition.

3.As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s)

connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.

4.Close fireplace dampers.

5.Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to

the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as

range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer

exhaust fan.

6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.

7.Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at

the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner

operation. Use the flame of a match or candle. (Figure 9)

8.If improper venting is observed, during any of the above

tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223,1/NFPA 54

and/or CSA B149, 1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Code.

9.After it has been determined that each appliance con- nected to the venting system properly vents when tested

as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burning

appliance to their previous conditions of use.

Venting to Existing Masonry Chimney

Dedicated venting of one fan assisted furnace into any ma- sonry chimney is restricted. A chimney must first be lined with either Type B vent sized in accordance with NFGC tables 13.1 or

441 01 261302

13.2 or a listed, metal lining system. (See Section 7 Masonry Chimney Venting of these instructions.)

Listed, corrugated metallic chimney liner systems in masonry chimneys shall be sized by using NFGC tables per 13.1.7 for dedi- cated venting and per 13.2.19 for common venting with the maxi- mum capacity reduced by 20% (0.80 X maximum capacity) and

the minimum capacity as shown in the applicable table. In Canada, use the NSCNGPIC, appendix C, section 10. Corrugated metal

vent systems installed with bends or offsets require additional re- duction of 5% of the vent capacity for each bend up to 45° and 10% of the vent capacity for each bend from 45 ° up to 90 ° .

NOTE: Two (2) 45° elbows are equivalent to one (1) 90° elbow.

6. Horizontal Venting

Category I Furnaces With External Power Venters

In order to maintain a Category ] classification of fan-assisted fur- naces when vented horizontally with sidewall termination, a power venter is REQUIRED to maintain a negative pressure in the vent- ing system.

In the U.S.: Per the NFGC, a listed power venter may be used, when approved by the authority having jurisdiction.

In Canada: Only power venters approved by the appliance manufacturer and where allowed by the authority having jurisdic- tion may be used

Please consult the Fields Controls Co. or Tjernlund Products, Inc. for power venters certified for use with our furnaces.

Combined Venting into a Masonry Chimney

Venting into a masonry or concrete chimney is only permitted as outlined in the NFGC or NSCNGPIC venting tables. Follow

all safe venting requirements.

7. Masonry Chimney Venting

Chimney Inspection

All masonry chimney construction must conform to Standard ANSI/NFPA 211-2003 and to any state or local codes applicable. The chimney must be in good condition and a complete chimney

inspection must be conducted prior to furnace installation. If the in- spection reveals damage or abnormal conditions, make neces- sary repairs or seek expert help. See Figure 11 "The Chimney

Inspection Chart". Measure inside area of tile-liner and exact height of chimney from the top of the chimney to the highest ap- pliance flue collar or drafthood outlet.

Connector Type

To reduce flue gas heat loss and the chance of condensate prob- lems, the vent connector must be double-wall Type B vent.

Venting Restrictions for Chimney Types

Interior Chimney - has no sides exposed to the outdoors below the roofline. All installations can be single furnace or common vented with another draft hood equipped Category ] appliance.

Exterior Chimney - has one or more sides exposed to the out- doors below the roof line. All installations with a 99% Winter De-

sign Temperature* below 17°F must be common vented only with a draft hood equipped Category I appliance. * The 99% Winter Design Dry-Bulb (db) temperatures are found in the

1993 ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, Chapter 24, Table 1 (United States) and 2 (Ca nada), or use the 99.6% heating db temperatures found

in the 1997 or 2001 ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, Climatic Design Information chapter, Table 1A (United States) and 2A (Canada).

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Not recommended for any vent configuration

If the inspection of a previously used tile-lined chimney:

a. Shows signs of vent gas condensation, the chimney should

be relined in accordance with local codes and the authority having jurisdiction. The chimney should be relined with a listed metal liner, Type-B vent, or a listed chimney adapter kit to reduce condensation. If a condensate drain is required

by local code, refer to the NFGC, Section 10.9 for additional information on condensate drains.

b. Indicates the chimney exceeds the maximum permissible

size in the tables, the chimney should be rebuilt or relined to conform to the requirements of the equipment being installed and the authority having jurisdiction.

A chimney without a clay tile liner, which is otherwise in good con- dition, shall be rebuilt to conform to ANSI/N FPA 211 or be lined with

a UL listed (ULC listed in Canada) metal liner or UL listed Type-B vent. Relining with a listed metal liner or Type-B vent is consid-

ered to be a vent-in-a-chase. If a metal liner or Type-B vent is used to line a chimney, no other

appliance shall be vented into the annular space between the chimney and the metal liner.

APPLIANCE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Appliance operation has a significant impact on the performance of the venting system. If the appliances are sized, installed, ad-

justed, and operated properly, the venting system and/or the ap-

pliances should not suffer from condensation and corrosion. The venting system and all appliances shall be installed in accordance with applicable listings, standards, and codes.

The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the design heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs because of

furnace model size capacity increments. Heating load estimates can be made using approved methods available from Air Condi-

tioning Contractors of America (Manual J); American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers; or other approved engineering methods. Excessive oversizing of the fur-

nace could cause the furnace and/or vent to fail prematurely. When a metal vent or metal liner is used, the vent or liner must be in

good condition and be installed in accordance with the vent or liner manufacturer's instructions.

To prevent condensation in the furnace and vent system, the fol- lowing precautions must be observed:

1. The return-air temperature must be at least 60°F db except for brief periods of time during warm-up from setback at no lower than 55°F db or during initial start-up from a standby

condition.

2. Adjust the gas input rate per the installation instructions. Low gas input rate causes low vent gas temperatures, ca us- ing condensation and corrosion in the furnace and/or vent- ing system. Derating is permitted only for altitudes above

2000'1

3. Adjust the air temperature rise to the midpoint of the rise range or slightly above. Low air temperature rise can ca use

low vent gas temperature and potential for condensation problems.

4. Set the thermostat heat anticipator or cycle rate to reduce short cycling.

Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen com- pounds which include chlorides, fluorides, bromides, and iodides. These compounds are found in many common home products

such as detergent, paint, glue, aerosol spray, bleach, cleaning sol- vent, salt, and air freshener, and can cause corrosion of furnaces

and vents. Avoid using such products in the combustion-air sup- ply. Furnace use during construction of the building could cause

the furnace to be exposed to halogen compounds, causing prema- ture failure of the furnace or ventincj_stem due to corrosion.
