II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - READ BEFORE START OF INSTALLATION
1. The heating output capacity of the furnace proposed for installation should be based on a heat loss calculation
made according to the manuals provided by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) or the American
Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE).
2. All local codes and/or regulations take precedence over the instructions in this manual and should be followed
accordingly. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with these instructions and regulations of the
National Fire Protection Association, and to the provisions of the National Electrical Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 or
latest edition).
3. The installed furnace must be level and positioned in a central location with respect to outlet registers. It should
be located near the chimney to minimize any horizontal run of flue pipe, which may be required.
4. A furnace installed in a residential garage must be installed so the burner and ignition source are located higher
than 18 inches above the floor, unless the required combustion air is taken from the exterior of the garage. Also, the
furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles.
cWARNING: This furnace is not to be used as a construction heater.
5. Listed below are definitions of "COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL" and "NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL."
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL:
Material made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, plastics, or other material that will ignite
and burn, whether flame resistant or not.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL:
Material that is not capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials consist entirely of, or a combination of,
steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, or glass.

The minimum clearances listed in the preceding table are for fire protection. Clearance for servicing the front of the
furnace and the rear of the lowboy models should be at least 24 inches. A clearance of 24 inches is recommended
for passage to all points on the furnace requiring service access.
The OH6FA072D*** furnaces may be installed on combustible flooring.
NOTE: The OH6FA072D*** furnace is approved for closet installation. If the OH6FA072D*** is installed in a
closet, it requires two openings in the closet door for combustion air, each having a minimum area of 162 sq. inches.
This free area for the OH6FA072D*** intentionally exceeds the recommended minimum free area of 2 square
inches per 1000 BTUH of input rate.
NOTE: When power venting a Thermo Pride oil fired furnace with a power venting system other than the system
supplied by Thermo Pride, a fiber chamber and an isolated combustion air kit (PVB or Beckett boot) is to be used
with the other manufacturers power venting system.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
A. VENTING:
NOTE: On the OH6FA072D*** it is possible to rotate the flue elbow (which is factory installed for vertical
discharge) 90° counterclockwise from the vertical position to adapt to various venting systems.
c CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO EXCEED 90° ROTATION (OF THE FLUE
ELBOW) COUNTERCLOCKWISE OR RIGHT FROM THE VERTICAL POSITION.
ROTATION OF FRONT FLUE ELBOW
When an installation requires that the flue exit out the left hand side casing on a front flue unit, remove screw
securing the 90 deg. elbow and rotate it 90° counterclockwise.
vent through the opening.
A trim collar may be ordered from Thermo Products to hide the gap around the flue pipe. This trim collar, however,
is not required for operation. Trim collar/gasket part numbers(s) 14121 / 330073.
NOTE: ROTATION OF FLUE PIPE IS ONLY ALLOWED FOR LEFT HAND SIDE VENTING
APPLICATIONS.
The OH6FA072D*** may be vented through a standard correctly sized chimney.
The OH6FA072D*** may also be horizontally vented through a side wall. Thermo Products has available the Field
model FDVS-45/FVOP-415 side wall vent kit for such applications. When installing the FDVS-45/FVOP-415 side
wall vent kit, outside combustion air must also be applied to the burner. The following table identifies application
order information.
Then, remove knock-out in side casing and extend

The Field vent kit is set up with 4 inch diameter vent pipe with concentric through-the-wall vent termination/inlet
air vent hood. The combustion air inlet pipe diameter is also 4 inch diameter. For Riello, the combustion air inlet
pipe will be reduced to 3 inch diameter with the Riello side wall vent kit. For Beckett, the combustion air inlet pipe
will be reduced to 2” diameter with the Beckett side wall vent kit.
The side wall vent may be installed either through the upper knock-out on the left side casing of the unit or
vertically out the top opening of the vestibule.
The combustion air inlet can be installed through the either the lower left side casing knock-out or the lower right
side casing knock-out.

B. DRAFT REGULATORS:
A draft regulator is supplied with the furnace and should be installed according to the regulator manufacturers
recommendations. With the burner operating, use a draft gauge to adjust the regulator to the proper setting. (refer to
the instructions enclosed with draft regulator to adjust to the proper setting). When the burner air supply and draft
are properly adjusted, the overfire draft should be a negative (-).01" to (-).02" WC
overfire air tap (See Fig. 8). This tap is provided in the upper burner mounting plate. To measure the flue draft,
punch a small hole in the vent connector pipe as close to the furnace as possible and always before the draft
regulator.
Note: 1. Draft overfire may be positive for high fire applications but not to exceed (+).02" WC.
C. DUCT WORK/AIR CONDITIONING:
If the furnace is used in connection with summer air conditioning (cooling), the furnace should be installed parallel
with or on the upstream side of the evaporator coil to avoid condensation in the furnace heat exchanger. If the
cooling unit is installed with a parallel flow arrangement, dampers or other means used to control flow of air should
be provided to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If such a damper is manually operated, it must be
equipped with a means to prevent operation of either unit, unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
The duct system should again follow the current design standard of Air Conditioning Contractors of America
(ACCA) or ASHRAE Fundamentals

NOTICE: The minimum coil pan clearance for a sectional or drum type heat exchanger is three inches unless
specified otherwise by the individual coil manufacturer.
D. FILTERS MOUNTED EXTERNAL TO FURNACE
On highboy
furnaces, it is necessary to cut the return air opening in the side or rear casing, depending upon the
needs of the specific installation.
The filter rack provided with the furnace, refer to Fig. 5, will serve as a template to scribe a mark for the return air
opening on the casing. Place the filter rack on a side casing approximately one inch up from the bottom of the
furnace and centered from side to side. Place the securing flange against the casing when locating the return air
opening. For your convenience, (4) locator knock-outs have been placed at the proper locations on both the left and
right side casings.
PLEASE NOTE:
While scribing the return air opening, the filter rack can be held in position by tape or similar
temporary means.
