also be elevated approximately 4-6 inches to allow
clearance for the condensate drain to exit the cabinet
in the horizontal position.
The horizontal furnace may also be suspended from
the joists using all-thread rods with a substantial metal
support frame that supports the entire length of the
furnace. The rods need to be of sufficient length to
allow for proper clearances from combustible materials.
The frame needs to be at least 32" in length to allow for
access to service panels.
If the furnace is suspended using steel strap, it must be
supported at all four corners and in the middle at the front
of the furnace.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
If these furnaces are installed in a nondirect vent capacity
then the adequate flow of combustion and ventilating
air must not be obstructed from reaching the furnace.
Air open ings provided for combustion air must be kept
free of obstructions which restrict the flow of air. Airflow
restrictions affect the efficiency and safe operation
of the furnace. Keep this in mind should you choose
to remodel or change the area which contains your
furnace. Furnaces must have a free flow of air for proper
performance.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air shall be
made in accordance with latest edition of Section 5.3, Air
for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 — CAN/CGA B149.1 or applicable
provisions of the local building codes. Special conditions
created by mechanical exhausting of air and fireplaces
must be con sidered to avoid unsatisfactory furnace
operation.

OUTSIDE AIR IS RECOMMENDED
The use of indoor air for most applications is acceptable,
unless there is the presence of corrosive chemicals or
contamination. Certain types of installation will require
the use of outside air for combustion.
The following types of installations will require use
of OUTDOOR AIR for combustion, due to chemical
exposures:
1. * Commercial buildings
2. * Buildings with indoor pools
3. * Furnaces installed in “confined” laundry rooms
4. * Furnaces installed in “confined” hobby or craft rooms
5. * Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.
Exposure to the following substances in the combustion
air supply will also require OUTDOOR AIR for
combustion:
1. * Permanent wave solutions
2. * Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
3. * Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
4. * Water softening chemicals
5. * Deicing salts or chemicals
6. * Carbon Tetrachloride
7. * Halogen type refrigerants
8. * Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
9. * Printing inks, paint removers, varnish, etc.
10. * Hydrochloric acid
11. * Cements and glues
12. * Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
13. * Masonry acid washing materials
Furnace locations may be in a “confined space” or an
“unconfined space”.
Unconfined space is defined in Figure 6. These spaces
may have adequate air by infiltration to provide air
for combustion and ventilation. Buildings with tight
construction (for example, weather stripping, heavily
insulated, caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), may need
additional air to be provided as described for confined space. See Table 2 for minimum area.

CAUTION
!
With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other
means used to control flow of air shall be adequate to
prevent chilled air from entering the Furnace, and if
manually operated, must be equipped with means to
prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in
full heat or cool position.
On any job, flexible connections of nonflammable material
may be used for return air and discharge connections to
prevent transmission of vibration. Though these units
have been specifically designed for quiet, vibration free
operation, air ducts can act as sounding boards and could,
if poorly installed, amplify the slightest vibration to the
annoyance level.
When the furnace is located in a utility room adjacent to
the living area, the system should be carefully designed
with returns to minimize noise transmission through the
return air grille. Although these furnaces are designed
with large blowers operating at moderate speeds, any
blower moving a high volume of air will produce audible
noise which could be objectionable when the unit is
located very close to a living area. It is often advisable
to route the return air ducts under the floor or through
the attic. Such design permits the installation of air return
remote from the living area (i.e. central hall).
When the furnace is installed so that the supply ducts
carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside
the space containing the furnace, the return air shall
also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace and
terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
RETURN AIR DUCT SYSTEMS
Safety Hazard
Sharp Edge Hazard
Be careful of sharp edges on equipment or any cuts
made on sheet metal while installing or servicing.
Personal injury may result.
Where there is no complete return duct system,
the return connection must be run full size from
the furnace to a location outside the utility room,
basement, attic, or crawl space.
Do NOT install return air through the back of the furnace
cabinet.
Do NOT install return air through the side of the furnace
cabinet on horizontal applications.
NOTE:
Minimum return air temperature is 55°F.
PREPARATION FOR UPFLOW BOTTOM AND SIDE
RETURN AIR FILTER INSTALLATION
All return air duct systems should provide for installation
of return air filters.
1. Determine the appropriate position to set the furnace
in order to connect to existing supply and return
ductwork.
2. The return air filter is shipped in either the bottom or
side location. Remove the filter by first turning the
two latches on the blower door and tilting the door
forward to remove. Remove the filter by sliding it out.
3. For upflow side return installations, remove the
insulation around the opening in the blower
compartment.
4. The side panels of the upflow furnace include

WARNING
!
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 the CSA B149.1
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code and these
instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion 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 deficiencies which could cause an
unsafe condition.
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.
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 Z221.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance
connected to the venting system properly vents where

THIS FURNACE MUST BE VENTED TO THE
OUTDOORS. THESE FURNACES ARE INDUCED
DRAFT VENTED AND MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO
ANY VENT SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. PLEASE
NOTE THAT THESE FURNACES USE POSITIVE-

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
FURNACE MUST BE VENTED PROPERLY.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD
RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE, FIRE OR SMOKE
THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, DEATH
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT:
The building owner/maintenance provider must keep
the area around the vent clear from snow.
Proper venting is essential to obtain maximum efficiency
from a condensing furnace. Proper installation of the
vent system is necessary to assure drainage of the
condensate and prevent deterioration of the vent system.
American Gas Association has certified the design of
condensing Furnaces for a minimum of 0" clearance from
combustible materials with a single wall plastic vent pipe.
See Table 8.
The recommended system is assembled from 2", 2-1/2",
or 3" plastic pipe and fittings (See Table 9, page 18) for
material specifications. Where the system is routed
to the outdoors through an existing masonry chimney
containing flue products from another gas appliance, or
where required by local codes, then 3" venting of Type
29-4C stainless steel must be used in place of PVC
material.
These furnaces have been classified as CATEGORY IV
Furnaces in accordance with ANSI Z21.47 “latest edition”
standards. Category IV Furnaces operate with positive
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature less than
140°F. above the dewpoint. These conditions require
special venting systems, which must be gas and water
tight.
NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system serving other gas appliances, the
venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent
the remaining attached appliances.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are not in
operation.

NOTE:
See Figures 23 & 24. In horizontal venting when the
factory supplied “off-set” (2X3 reducing coupling)
is used for 3” vent pipe installation, make sure the
marking “Top” is located on the top side of the pipe.
The straight side must be on bottom for proper
condensate drainage. This coupling is factory supplied
with the following models: *UHMC100, *UHMD120, & all
downflow models.
Carbon monoxide, fire or smoke can cause serious bodily
injury, death, and/ or property damage.
A variety of potential sources of carbon monoxide can
be found in a building or dwelling such as gas-fired
clothes dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters,
Furnaces and fireplaces. The U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission recommends that users of gasburning appliances install carbon monoxide detectors as
well as fire and smoke detectors per the manufacturer’s
installation instructions to help alert dwelling occupants
of the presence of fire, smoke or unsafe levels of carbon
monoxide. These devices should meet Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. Standards for Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034 or CSA
International Standard, Residential Carbon Monoxide
Alarming Devices, CSA 6.19
For NONDIRECT VENT APPLICATION: The furnace shall
be vented to the exterior of the house, but combustion
air may enter from the surrounding area as long as
combustion air requirements are met. (See AIR FOR
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION).
FURNACE VENT/INLET PIPE INSTALLATION
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the installation instructions for the
venting system being placed into operation could
result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
There are many different variations of the vent/ inlet air
pipe combination. The vent/ inlet air combination used for
installation of these furnaces depends on the needs of
the location. However, these guidelines must be followed:
1. The Furnace must vent outside the structure.
2. Furnace combustion air requirements must be met
for nondirect, single pipe applications (See ex. 2 ).
3. For direct vent application of these furnaces, the vent
pipe and air inlet pipe do not have to exit in the same air
space or even on the same surface of the structure.
However, the longest individual pipe will decide the value
for the longest allowable equivalent vent/ inlet air length
as shown in the vent length table.
NOTE:
BAYVENT200B accessories can be used for inlet
and outlet terminals when the pipes do not exit
the structure together. For Canadian applications
ONLY, IPEX 196006 may be used for horizontal and
vertical terminations. IPEX 081216, IPEX 081218, and
IPEX 081219 may be only used for horizontal vent
terminations.
The following are EXAMPLES ONLY:
EX. 1 —
Example 1 shows that the vent may go vertical while the
inlet air may be on any side of the structure. The Vent
Pipe would decide the maximum equivalent length for the
pipe depending on the furnace and pipe size.
NOTE: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test
any detectors and makes no representations regarding
any brand or type of detector.
IMPORTANT: These furnaces may be installed as Direct
Vent (sealed combustion) or as Nondirect Vent (single
pipe). The furnaces are shipped DIRECT VENT with sealed
combustion.
For DIRECT VENT APPLICATION: The furnaces must
be vented to the exterior of the house and combustion air
MUST come through the inlet air pipe FROM OUTSIDE
AIR. The pipes DO NOT have to exit the exterior of the
house together or on the same side of the house.

Example 2 shows the vent pipe exhausting through the
roof and the inlet air coming from the interior of the house
(See Note). The inlet air coming from the interior of the
house must meet combustion requirements for area, etc.,
as shown in the section AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION in this Installer’s Guide.
EX. 3 —
Example 3 shows the vent exiting one side of the house
while the inlet air is on the opposite side of the structure.
Here the Vent Pipe length must be within the allowable
length for the size of Furnace and size of the Vent Pipe.
This example demonstrates that the pipes do not have to
exit on the same side of the structure.
EX. 4 —
The inlet air does not have to come from outside the
structure. Example 4 shows the inlet air (See Note), may
come from the attic if the requirements for combustion air
are met as shown in the section AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION.
NOTE:
If only the flue gas pipe is to the outside of the
structure, a straight section of pipe (long enough to
exit the Furnace cabinet) must be attached to the inlet
air side with an elbow (which is 5 to 10 equivalent feet)
installed on the end to prevent dust and debris from
falling directly into the Furnace.
VENT FITTING MATERIAL – PLASTIC
Gas and liquid tight single wall vent fittings, designed for
resistance to corrosive flue condensate, MUST be used
throughout.
Listed in Table 9 are materials that meet these
requirements. The materials listed are various grades of
PVC and ABS plastic.
PIPE JOINTS: All joints must be fastened and sealed to
prevent escape of combustion products into the building.
These materials are acceptable for U.S. applications only.
All Canadian installations must conform to ULC S636.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the first joints from the furnace
be connected and sealed with high temperature RTV.
This will enable the pipes to be removed later without
cutting. Be sure to properly support these joints.
BONDING OF PVC
Commercially available solvent cement for PVC must
be used to join PVC pipe fittings. Follow instructions on
container carefully for U.S. applications only. Canadian
applications require primer and cement that are from a
single system manufacturer.
For U.S. applications only:
Pipe and Fittings – ASTM D1785, D2466, D2661, &
D2665. PVC Primer and Solvent Cement – ASTM D2564.
Procedure for Cementing Joints Ref – ASTM D2855
1. Cut pipe square, remove ragged edges and burrs.
Chamfer end of pipe, then clean fitting socket and pipe
joint area of all dirt, grease, moisture or chips.
2. After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe
socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal coat
of primer to inside surface of socket and outside of pipe.
DO NOT ALLOW PRIMER TO DRY BEFORE
APPLYING CEMENT.
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 movement until
it bottoms out.
4. Hold the pipe in the fitting for 30 seconds to prevent
tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.
