codes, or in absence of local codes, with the latest
edition of ANSI Standard Z223.1 (N.F.P.A. No. 54)
National Fuel Gas Code. All of the ANSI and NFPA
Standards referred to in these installation instructions
are those that were applicable at the time the design of
this appliance was certified. The ANSI Standards are
available from the CSA Infor mation Ser vices, 1-800463-6727. The NFPA Standards are available from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269. These duct furnaces are designed f or
use in airplane hangars when installed in accordance
with current ANSI/NFPA No. 409 and in public garages
when installed in accordance with current NFPA No. 88A
and NFPA No. 88B.
If installed in Canada, the installation must conform
with local building codes, or in absence of local building
codes, with CSA-B149.1 “Installation Codes for Natural
Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment" or CSA-B149.8
“Installation Codes for Propane Gas Burning Appliances
and Equipment”. These indoor duct furnaces have been
designed and certifi ed to comply with CSA 2.6. Also see
sections on installation in AIRCRAFT HANGARS and
PUBLIC GARAGES.
Do not alter the duct furnace in
any way or damage to the unit and/or severe
personal injury or death may occur!
Disconnect all power and gas
supplies before installing or servicing the heater .
If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock it in
the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected
application of power . Failure to do so could result
in fatal electric shock, or severe personal injury.
Insure that all power sources conform
tothe requirements of the unit heater or damage to
the unit will result!
Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid
creating unsafe conditions. All wiring should be done
and checked by a qualifi ed electrician, using copper wire
only. All external wiring must conform to applicable local
codes, and to the latest edition of the National Electric
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. All gas connections should be
made and leak-tested by a suitably qualifi ed individual,
per instructions in this manual.
Also follow procedures listed on the “Gas Equipment
Start-up” sheet located in this manual.
Use only the fuel for which the heater is designed (see
rating plate). Using LP gas in a heater that requires
natural gas, or vice versa, will create the risk of gas
leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning and explosion.
Do not attempt to convert the
heater for use with a fuel other than the one
intended. Such conversion is dangerous, and
could create unsafe conditions that result in death,
serious personal injury or property damage.
Make certain that the power source conforms to the
electrical requirements of the heater.
Do not depend upon a thermostat
or other switch as sole means of disconnecting
power when installing or servicing heater. Always
disconnect power at main circuit breaker as
described above. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electric shock.
Special attention must be given to any grounding
information pertaining to this heater. To prevent the risk of
electrocution, the heater must be securely and adequately
grounded. This should be accomplished b y connecting a
grounded conductor between the service panel and the
heater. To ensure a proper ground, the grounding means
must be tested by a qualifi ed electrician.
Do not insert fi ngers or foreign objects into the heater
or its air moving device. Do not block or tamper with the
heater in any manner while in operation or just after it
has been turned off, as some parts may be hot enough
to cause injury.
This heater is intended for general heating applications
ONLY. It must NOT be used in potentially dangerous
locations such as fl ammable, explosive, chemical-laden
or wet atmospheres.
In cases in which property damage may result from
malfunction of the heater, a backup system or a
temperature sensitive alarm should be used.
The open end of piping systems being
purged shall not discharge into areas where there are
sources of ignition or into confi ned spaces UNLESS
precautions are taken as follows: (1) By ventilation of
the space, (2) control of purging rate, (3) elimination
of all hazardous conditions. All precautions m ust be
taken to perform this operation in a safe manner!

INSTALLATION
Do not install duct furnaces in corrosive
or fl ammable atmospheres! Premature failure of, or
severe damage to the unit will result!
Av oid locations where extreme drafts
can affect burner operation. Duct furnaces must not
be installed in locations where air for combustion
would contain chlorinated, halogenated or acidic
vapors. If located in such an environment, premature
failure of the unit will occur!
NOTICE: Location of duct furnaces is related directly
to the selection of sizes. Basic rules are as follows:
ACCESSIBILITY: If unit is a bottom service access type
allow a minimum of 21 inches (533mm) at the bottom of
the unit to facilitate servicing the burners and pilot, or
six inches (152mm) if the unit has a side access burner
drawer. Provision should also be made to assure accessibility for recurrent maintenance purposes. See Table 1,
dimension “F” for required service clearance for burner
drawer on side service models.
AIRCRAFT HANGARS: Duct furnaces must be installed
in aircraft hangars and public garages as follows: In
aircraft hangars, duct furnaces must be at least 10 feet
(3.05m) above the upper surface of wings or engine
enclosures of the highest aircraft to be stored in the
hangar and 8 feet (2.4m) abov e the fl oor in shops, offi ces
and other sections of the hangar where aircraft are not
stored or housed. Refer to current ANSI/NFPA No. 409,
Aircraft Hangars. In Canada, installation is suitable
in aircraft hangars when acceptable to the enforcing
authorities.
PUBLIC GARAGES: In repair garages, duct furnaces
must be installed in a detached building or room
separated from repair areas as specified in the latest
edition of NFPA 88B, Repair Garages.
In parking structures, duct furnaces must be installed
so that the burner flames are located a minimum of
18 inches (457mm) above the floor or protected by a
partition not less than 18 inches (457mm) high. Refer to
the latest edition of NFPA 88A, Parking Structures.
In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the
latest edition of CSA B149 “Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment.”
When the unit is equipped with an automatic gas ignition
system, the duct furnace must be installed such that the
gas ignition control system is not directly exposed to water
spray, rain or dripping water.
Duct furnaces should not be installed to maintain low
temperatures and/or freeze protection of buildings.
A minimum of 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting must
be maintained. If duct furnaces are operated to maintain
lower than 50°F (10°C), hot flue gases are cooled
inside the heat exchanger to the point where water
vapor (a fl ue gas by product) condenses onto the heat
exchanger walls. The result is a mildly corrosive acid
that prematurely corrodes the aluminized heat exchanger
and can actually drip water down from the duct furnace
onto fl oor surface. Additional duct fur naces should be
installed if a minimum 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting
cannot be maintained.
CLEARANCES
Under no circumstances should
combustible material be located within the
clearances specifi ed in T able 3. Failure to pro vide
proper clearance could result in personal injury
or equipment damage from fi re.
Maintain adequate clearances around air openings into
combustion chamber:

†When the clearances required
for accessibility are greater than
the minimum safety clearances,
the accessibility clearances take
precedence.
DRAFTS: Avoid installing the duct furnace in an
extremely drafty location. Strong drafts may cause pilot
outage. Units with intermittent pilot ignition may be
preferable in areas where drafts cannot be avoided.
Atmospheres containing commercial solvents or
chlorinated hydrocarbons will produce corrosive acids
when coming in contact with the fl ames. This will greatly reduce the life of the gas duct furnace and may void
the warranty. Avoid such areas.
NOTICE: If the gas duct furnace is to be used
in a building classified as having a hazardous
atmosphere, the installation must comply with
the standards set by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters. Consult the authorities having
jurisdiction before starting the job.
The duct furnace must be installed on the positive
pressure side of the air circulation blower.

INSTALLATION
DUCTWORK
Properly designed and installed ductwork, providing
a uniformly distributed flow of air across the surfaces
of the heat exchanger, is essential to satisfactory unit
performance and life of the equipment.
All duct connection flanges/seams must be sealed to
prevent air leaks. Sealant/tape must be suitable for
temperatures 250°F (121°C) minimum.
Any attempt to straighten the 90°
duct connection fl anges on the duct furnaces will
affect the operation of the furnace and will void
the warranty.
If uniform air distribution is not obtained, install additional
baffl es and/or turning vanes in the ductwork.
Figures 3 and 4 illustrate recommended ductwork
designs for both the straight-through and elbowed air
inlet arrangements.
Access panels large enough to observe smoke and
reflected light, and to detect the presence of leaks in
the heating equipment, are required both upstream
and downstream from gas duct furnaces. These panels
must be sealed to prevent air leaks. If allowed by local
regulations, install canvas connectors between the
ductwork and fan discharge opening to eliminate the
transmission of mechanical vibration.
AIR FLOW
The installation is to be adjusted to obtain an air
throughput within the range specifi ed on the appliance
rating plate.
COMBUSTION INLET AIR VENTILATION
Inlet Air From Another Room — If the duct furnace is
installed in a tightly constructed room or compartment,
provide two inlet air openings. The size of each vent
opening should be no less than one square inch (6.452
square centimeters) of free area for each 1000 Btu/hr.
(293 W) input. Each opening must not be less than 100
square inches (645 square centimeters).
Inlet Air From Outdoors — If the enclosed space
is to have inlet combustion air from the outside, the
vent opening must not be smaller than one square
inch (6.452 square centimeters) of free area for each
2500-3000 Btu/hr. (733-879 W) input. Each opening
must not be less than 100 square inches (645 square
centimeters).
BYPASS
When a gas duct furnace is installed to operate in
conjunction with a summer air conditioning system,
the CFM air delivery of the system blower should be
adjusted to meet the design air volume requirements
for cooling. If this CFM delivery is greater than that
required for heating, resulting in a low air temperature
rise, install a damper bypass around the gas duct
furnace to bypass a portion of the air.
Insure that all hardware used in
the suspension or each unit heater is more than
adequate for the job. Failure to do so may result
in extensive property damage, personal injury
or death.

SUSPENSION
The duct furnace must be hung level from side to side and front to back, from four
suspension points provided at the top of the unit. Failure to do so will result in poor performance and/or
premature failure of the unit. Refer to Figure 5 for typical suspension arrangements. DO NOT mount duct
furnaces in series (one in front of another).
NOTICE: When mounting duct furnaces side by side, units must have opposite side gas connections
(determined by Digit #6 - Furnace Type in the unit number). Minimum safety clearances must also be
maintained; see T able 3. When service/accessibility c learances are greater than minimum safety c learances,
service/accessibility clearances take precedence. See “Accessibility” section under “Installation”.
