CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling Units in Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or Parking Areas.

Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an automobile, space heater, gas water heater, etc.) should not be operated in enclosed areas such as unventilated garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of the danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from the exhaust emissions. If a furnace or air handler is installed in an enclosed area such as a garage, utility room or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing device is operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside ventilation. This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO poisoning which can occur if a carbon monoxide producing device continues to operate in the enclosed area. Carbon monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated throughout the structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any mode.

CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain damage or death.

Goodman 38

WARNING

Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas shutoff valve external to the furnace before turning off the electrical supply.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS AND

CONSIDERATIONS

WARNING

To prevent possible equipment damage, property damage, personal injury or death, the following bullet points must be observed when installing the unit.

Follow the instructions listed below when selecting a furnace location. Refer also to the guidelines provided in “Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.”

■ Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the proposed or

existing air distribution system.

■ Check that the temperature of the return air entering the

furnace is between 55°F and 100°F (13ºC and 38ºC) when the furnace is heating.

■ Provide provisions for venting combustion products outdoors

through a proper venting system. Special consideration should be given to the vent/flue pipe routing and the combustion air intake pipe when applicable. Refer to “Termination Locations” in “Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe” for appropriate termination locations and to determine if the piping system from the furnace to the termination can be accomplished within the guidelines given.

NOTE: The length of flue and/or combustion air piping can be a limiting factor in the location of the furnace.

Goodman 50

■ Locate the furnace so that the condensate flows downward

to the drain. NOTE: Do not locate the furnace or its condensate drainage

system in any area subject to below freezing temperatures without the proper freeze protection. Refer to “Condensate Drain Lines and Trap” for further details.

■ Check that adequate combustion air is available for the

furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can expose building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to “Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements.”

■ Set the furnace on a level floor to enable proper condensate

drainage. If the floor becomes wet or damp at times, place the furnace above the floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) larger than the base of the furnace. Refer to “Horizontal Applications and Considerations” for leveling of horizontal furnaces.

■ Check that the upflow or horizontal furnaces are not installed

directly on carpeting, or any other combustible material. NOTE: The only combustible material allowed is wood.

■ A special accessory subbase must be used for the upright

counterflow unit installations over any combustible material (including wood). Refer to subbase instructions for installation details.

NOTE: A subbase will not be required if an air conditioning coil is located beneath the furnace between the supply air opening and the combustible floor.

■ Exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in safety

and performance-related problems. NOTE: Do not install the furnace where the combustion air is

exposed to the following substances:

Chlorinated waxes or cleaners Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals Water softening chemicals Deicing salts or chemicals Carbon tetrachloride Halogen-type refrigerants Cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene) Printing inks Paint removers Var nishes Hydrochloric acid Cements and glues Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers Masonry acid washing materials

■ Seal off a nondirect vent furnace if it is installed near an area

frequently contaminated by any of the above substances. This protects the nondirect vent furnace from airborne contaminants. To ensure that the enclosed nondirect vent furnace has an adequate supply of combustion air, vent from a nearby uncontaminated room or from outdoors. Refer to “Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements” for details.

■ If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling coil unit,

install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the cooling coil unit. Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the cooling coil unit is placed ahead of the furnace.

■ If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, position the

furnace so that the burners and ignition source are located not less than 18" (45.7 cm) above the floor. Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehicles.

■ If the furnace is installed horizontally, ensure the furnace

access doors are not on the “up/top” or “down/bottom” side of the furnace. The furnace access doors must be vertical so that the burners fire horizontally into the heat exchanger.

■ Do not connect the furnace to a chimney flue that serves a

separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.

■ On counterflow installations, the air conditioning coil must be

downstream on the supply (positive) side of the furnace heat exchanger.

Counterflow Installation Over a Noncombustible Floor

■ Before setting the furnace over the plenum opening, ensure

that the surface around the opening is smooth and level. A tight seal should be made between the furnace base and floor by using a silicone rubber caulking compound or cement grout.

Counterflow Installation Over a Combustible Floor

■ If installation over a combustible floor becomes necessary,

use an accessory subbase (see Specification Sheet applicable for your model for details). A special accessory subbase must be used for upright counterflow unit installations over any combustible material including wood. Refer to subbase instructions for installation details. Follow the instructions with the subbase for proper installation.

NOTES:

■ Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile or

other combustible material other than wood flooring.

■ The subbase will not be required if an air conditioning coil

is installed between the supply air opening on the furnace and the floor.

Clearances and Accessibility

Installations must adhere to the clearances to combustible materials to which this furnace has been design-certified. The minimum clearance information for this furnace is provided on the unit’s clearance label. These clearances must be permanently maintained.

Clearances must also accommodate an installation’s gas, electrical, drain trap and drain line connections. If the alternate vent/flue connection is used, additional clearance must be provided to accommodate these connections. Refer to “Vent/ Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe” for details.

NOTE: In addition to the required clearances to combustible materials, a minimum of 24" (61 cm) service clearance must be available in front of the unit.

Upflow Counterflow Horizontal

A. Top B. Side

C. Bottom

A furnace installed in a confined space (for example, a closet or utility room) must have 2 ventilation openings with a total minimum free area of 0.25 sq. in. per 1,000 Btu/h of furnace input rating. Refer to the Specification Sheet applicable to your model for minimum clearances to combustible surfaces. One of the ventilation openings must be within 12" (30.5 cm) of the top. The other opening must be within 12" (30.5 cm) of the bottom of the confined space. In a typical construction, the clearance between the door and door frame is usually adequate to satisfy this ventilation requirement.

Furnace Suspension

If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use ³⁄₈" threaded rod and 2" x 2" x ¹⁄₈" (5.1 cm x 5.1 cm x 3.2 mm) angle iron as shown in “Suspended Furnace” illustration. The length of rod will depend on the application and the clearances necessary.

Existing Furnace Removal

NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.

The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the American National Standard/National Standard of Canada for Gas-Fired Central Furnaces ANSI Z21.47—latest edition, CSA-2.3 latest edition Section 1.23.1.

The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any 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 by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1-05 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 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 shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.

6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being

inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously.

7. Test for spillage from draft hood appliances at the draft hood

relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.

8. After it has been determined that each appliance connected

to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

9. 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 National Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1-05.

If resizing is required on any portion of the venting system, use the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and/or National Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1-05.

Thermostat Location

The thermostat should be placed approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) from the floor on a vibration-free, inside wall in an area having good air circulation.

NOTE: Do not install the thermostat where it may be influenced by any of the following:

■ Drafts, or dead spots behind doors, in corners or under

cabinets

■ Hot or cold air from registers

■ Radiant heat from the sun

■ Light fixtures or other appliances

■ Radiant heat from a fireplace

■ Concealed hot or cold water pipes or chimneys

■ Unconditioned areas behind the thermostat, such as an

outside wall

Consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat for mounting instructions and further precautions.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

AIR REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

To avoid property damage, personal injury or death, sufficient fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases must be supplied. Most homes require outside air be supplied into the furnace area.

Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings have reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and escape around doors and windows. These changes have helped in reducing heating/cooling costs but have created a problem supplying combustion and ventilation air for gas-fired and other fuel-burning appliances.

Appliances that pull air out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase the problem by starving appliances for air.

Goodman 51

House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper

combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide.

If this furnace is to be installed in the same space with other gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the local building codes for determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.

Most homes will require outside air to be supplied to the furnace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors such as attics or crawl spaces.

The following information on air for combustion and ventilation is reproduced from the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 Section 5.3.

5.3.1 General:

a) The provisions of 5.3 apply to gas utilization equipment

installed in buildings and which require air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases from within the building. They do not apply to (1) direct vent equipment which is constructed and installed so that all air for combustion is obtained from the outside atmosphere and all flue gases are discharged to the outside atmosphere, or (2) enclosed furnaces which incorporate an integral total enclosure and use only outside air for combustion and dilution of flue gases.

b) Equipment shall be installed in a location in which the

facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of gas, proper venting and the maintenance of ambient temperature at safe limits under normal conditions of use. Equipment shall be located so as not to interfere with proper circulation of air. When normal infiltration does not provide the necessary air, outside air shall be introduced.

c) In addition to air needed for combustion, process air shall

be provided as required for: cooling of equipment or material, controlling dew point, heating, drying, oxidation or dilution, safety exhaust, odor control and air for compressors.

d) In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall be

supplied for ventilation, including all the air required for comfort and proper working conditions for personnel.

e) While all forms of building construction cannot be

covered in detail, air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of flue gases for gas utilization equipment vented by natural draft normally may be obtained by application of one of the methods covered in 5.3.3 and 5.3.4.

f) Air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans,

kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers and fireplaces shall be considered in determining the adequacy of a space to provide combustion air requirements.

5.3.2 Equipment Located in Unconfined Spaces:

In unconfined spaces (see definition below) in buildings, infiltration may be adequate to provide air for combustion ventilation and dilution of flue gases. However, in buildings of tight construction (for example, weather stripping, heavily insulated, caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), additional air may need to be provided using the methods described in 5.3.3-b or 5.3.4.

Space, Unconfined.

For purposes of this Code, a space whose volume is not less than 50 cu ft per 1,000 Btu/h of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.

5.3.3 Equipment Located in Confined Spaces:

a) All Air from Inside the Building: The confined space shall

be provided with 2 permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s) of sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria for an unconfined space. The total input of all gas utilization equipment installed in the combined space shall be considered in making this determination. Each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 sq. in. (6.5 cm2) per 1,000 Btu/h of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the confined space, but not less than 100 sq. in (645.2 cm2).

The requirements of 5.3.3 shall not necessarily govern when special engineering, approved by the authority having jurisdiction, provides an adequate supply of air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases.

■ Alternate electrical and gas line connections

■ Drain pan

■ Freeze protection

■ Furnace suspension.

5.3.5 Louvers and Grilles:

In calculating free area in 5.3.3, consideration shall be given to the blocking effect of louvers, grilles or screens protecting openings. Screens used shall not be smaller than ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) mesh. If the area through a design of louver or grille is known, it should be used in calculating the size of opening required to provide the free area specified. If the design and free area is not known, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to 75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles shall be fixed in the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they are opened automatically during equipment operation.

5.3.6 Special Conditions Created by Mechanical Exhausting or Fireplaces:

Operation of exhaust fans, ventilation systems, clothes dryers or fireplaces may create conditions requiring special attention to avoid unsatisfactory operation of installed gas utilization equipment. Air from Inside Building. See 5.3.3-a.

INSTALLATION POSITIONS

This furnace may be installed in an upright position or horizontal on either the left or right side panel.

NOTE: Do not install this furnace on its back. For upright upflow furnaces, the return air ductwork may be

attached to the side panel(s) and/or base pan. For horizontal upflow furnaces, the return air ductwork must be

attached to the base pan. For both the upright or horizontal counterflow furnaces, the

return air ductwork must be attached to the base pan (top end of the blower compartment).

NOTE: Do not attach the ductwork to the back of the furnace. For upflow installations requiring 1,800 CFM or more, use either 2 side returns or a bottom return or a combination of side and bottom.

Contact your local distributor for the proper airflow requirements and the number of required ductwork connections. See the “Recommended Installation Positions” illustrations for the appropriate installation positions, ductwork connections and the resulting airflow

HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS

AND CONSIDERATIONS

General

Horizontal applications, in particular, may dictate many of the installation’s specifics such as airflow direction, ductwork connections, flue and combustion air pipe connections, etc. The basic application of this furnace as a horizontal furnace differs only slightly from an upright installation.

When installing a furnace horizontally, additional consideration must be given to the following:

■ Drain trap and lines

■ Leveling the furnace

■ Alternate vent/flue and combustion air connections

Drain Trap and Lines

In horizontal applications, the condensate drain trap is secured to the furnace side panel, suspending it below the furnace. A minimum clearance of 4³⁄₄" (12.1 cm) below the furnace must be provided for the drain trap.

Additionally, the appropriate downward piping slope must be maintained from the drain trap to the drain location.

Refer to “Condensate Drain Trap and Lines” for further details. If the drain trap and drain line will be exposed to temperatures near or below freezing, adequate measures must be taken to avoid condensate from freezing.

Leveling

Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger and induced draft blower. For proper flue pipe drainage, the furnace must be level lengthwise from end to end.

The furnace should also be level from back to front, or have a slight tilt with the access doors sloping downward ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) lower than the back panel. The slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate, generated in the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the recuperator coil front cover.

Alternate Vent/Flue Connections

In horizontal installations, provisions for alternate vent/flue piping are available for upflow furnaces with left discharge and counterflow furnaces with right air discharge. This configuration allows the vent/flue and combustion air piping to be run vertically through the side of the furnace. Refer to the “Recommended Installation Positions” illustrations for further details. The standard piping connections may also be used in these positions. See “Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe” for details concerning the conversion to the alternate vent/flue connections.

When using the horizontal alternate vent configuration, you must

use the RF000142 vent drain kit. See “Alternate Flue/Vent Location” illustration.

NOTE: Alternate vertical piping connections cannot be used when an upflow furnace is installed with the supply air discharging to the right, or when a counterflow furnace is installed with the supply air discharging to the left. In either case, use the standard flue and combustion air piping connections.

Alternate Electrical and Gas Line Connections

This furnace has provisions allowing for electrical and gas line connections through either side panel.

In horizontal applications, the connections can be made either through the top or bottom of the furnace.

Drain Pan

A drain pan must be provided if the furnace is installed above a conditioned area.

The drain pan must cover the entire area under the furnace (and air conditioning coil, if applicable).

Freeze Protection

Refer to “Horizontal Applications and Conditions—Drain Trap and Lines.”

Furnace Suspension

If the furnace is installed in a crawl space, it must be suspended from the floor joist or supported by a concrete pad.

NOTE: Never install the furnace on the ground or allow it to be exposed to water. Refer to “Location Requirements and Considerations—Furnace Suspension” for further details.

Possible property damage, personal injury or death may occur if the correct conversion kits are not installed. The appropriate kits must be applied to ensure safe and proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency.

This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for Natural gas at standard altitude. Propane gas installations require an orifice change to compensate for the energy content difference between Natural and propane gas.

High altitude installations may require both a pressure switch and an orifice/spring change. These changes are necessary to compensate for the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and the combustion air at higher altitude.

Goodman 52

Failure to follow these instructions can result in bodily injury or death. Carefully read and follow all instructions given in this section.

Upon completion of the furnace installation, carefully inspect the entire flue system both inside and outside of the furnace to assure it is properly sealed. Leaks in the flue system can result in serious personal injury or death due to exposure to flue products, including carbon monoxide.

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place. Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature and water condensation requirements, PVC pipe is used as venting material.

General

WARNING

WARNING

Goodman 54

NOTES:

■ This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L vent

or vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of a factory-built or masonry chimney except when used as a pathway for PVC as described later in this section.

■ Do not common vent this appliance with another appliance or

use a vent which is used by a solid fuel appliance.

■ Do not use commercially available “no hub connectors” other

than those shipped with this product.

It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers’ recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and connectors are compatible with furnace flue products.

Additionally, it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and connections possess adequate structural integrity and support to avoid flue pipe separation, shifting or sagging during furnace operation.

Dual Certification: Nondirect/Direct Vent

This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a nondirect vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. A nondirect vent installation requires only a vent/flue pipe, while a direct vent installation requires both a vent/flue pipe and a combustion air intake pipe. Refer to the appropriate section for details concerning piping size, length, number of elbows, furnace connections and terminations.

Materials and Joining Methods

WARNING

To avoid bodily injury, fire or explosion, solvent cements must be kept away from all ignition sources (for example, sparks, open flames and excessive heat) as they are combustible liquids. Avoid breathing cement vapors or contact with skin and/or eyes.

2" or 3" (5.1 cm or 7.6 cm) nominal diameter PVC Schedule 40 pipe meeting ASTM D1785, PVC primer meeting ASTM F656 and PVC solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be used. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the pipe manufacturer’s instructions for cutting, cleaning and solvent cementing of PVC.

The use of Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) plastic pipe is also acceptable as a flue/vent and intake pipe material. PVC primer meeting ASTM F656 and PVC solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be used. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the pipe manufacturer’s instructions for cutting, cleaning and solvent cementing of PVC.

As an alternative to PVC pipe, primer, solvent cement and fittings, ABS materials which are in compliance with the following specifications may be used. 2" or 3" (5.1 cm or 7.6 cm) ABS Schedule 40 pipe must meet ASTM D1527 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA approved. Solvent cement for ABS to ABS joints must meet ASTM D2235 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA approved. The solvent cement for the PVC to ABS transition joint must meet ASTM D3138. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting ASTM D2661 and ASTM D3311 and, if used in Canada, must be CSA approved. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.

Goodman 55

All 90° elbows must be medium-radius (¹⁄₄ bend DWV) or long-radius (long sweep ¹⁄₄ bend DWV) types conforming to ASTM D3311. A medium-radius (¹⁄₄ bend DWV) elbow measures 3¹⁄₁₆" (7.8 cm) minimum from the plane of one opening to the centerline of the other opening for 2" (5.1 cm) diameter pipe, and 4⁹⁄₁₆" (11.6 cm) minimum for 3" (7.6 cm) pipe.

Proper Vent/Flue and Combustion Air

Piping Practices

Adhere to these instructions to ensure safe and proper furnace performance. The length, diameter and number of elbows of the vent/flue pipe and combustion air pipe (when applicable) affects the performance of the furnace and must be carefully sized. All piping must be installed in accordance with local codes and these instructions.

Piping must be adequately secured and supported to prohibit sagging, joint separation and/or detachment from the furnace. Horizontal runs of vent/flue piping must be supported every 36" to 60" (91.4 cm to 1.5 m) and must maintain a ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) per foot downward slope, back toward the furnace, to properly return condensate to the furnace’s drain system. Allowances should be made for minor expansion and contraction due to temperature variations. For this reason, particular care must be taken to secure piping when a long run is followed by a short offset of less than 40" (101.6 cm).

Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freezing inside the vent/flue pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe termination. All vent/flue piping exposed to freezing temperatures below 35°F (2ºC) for extended periods of time must be insulated with ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) thick closed-cell foam. Also all vent/flue piping exposed outdoors in excess of the terminations shown in this manual (or in unheated areas) must be insulated with ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) thick closed-cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to installing insulation.

Termination Locations

NOTE: Refer to “Location Requirements and Considerations” for combustion air contaminant restrictions.

The following bullets and illustration describe the restrictions concerning the appropriate location of vent/flue pipe and combustion air intake pipe (when applicable) terminations. Refer to “Nondirect Vent (Single Pipe) Piping and Direct Vent (Dual Pipe) Piping” located in this section for specific details on termination construction.

■ All terminations (flue and/or intake) must be located at least

12" (30.5 cm) above ground level or the anticipated snow level.

■ Vent terminations (nondirect and direct vent) must terminate

at least 36" (91.4 cm) above any forced air inlet located within 10 ft (3 m).

NOTE: This provision does not apply to the combustion air intake termination of a direct vent application.

■ The vent termination of a nondirect vent application must

terminate at least 48" (121.9 cm) below, 48" (121.9 cm) horizontally from or 12" (30.5 cm) above any door, window or gravity air inlet into any building.

■ The vent termination of a direct vent application must

terminate at least 12" (30.5 cm) from any opening through which flue gases may enter a building (door, window or gravity air inlet).

■ The vent termination of vent pipe run vertically through a roof

must terminate at least 12" (30.5 cm) above the roof line (or the anticipated snow level) and be at least 12" (30.5 cm) from any vertical wall (including any anticipated snow buildup).

■ A vent termination shall not terminate over public walkways

or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves or other equipment.

■ The combustion air intake termination of a direct vent

application should not terminate in an area which is frequently dusty or dirty.

Vent Termination Clearances

Vent/Flue Pipe

Vent/flue pipe can be secured to the vent/flue coupling using the rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with this furnace. See “Standard Connections” illustration. The rubber coupling allows separation of the vent/flue pipe from the furnace during servicing. Combustion air and vent piping should be routed in a manner to avoid contact with refrigerant lines, metering devices, condensate drain lines, etc. If necessary, clearances may be increased by utilizing two 45º long-sweep elbows and creating an “S” joint to provide additional space at connection locations. This joint can be rotated on the fitting to establish maximum clearance between refrigerant lines, metering devices, condensate drain lines, etc. This joint is the equivalent of one 90º elbow when considering elbow count.

Canadian Venting Requirements

In Canada, venting must conform to the requirements of the current CAN/CSA-B149.1-05 Installation Code. Use only CSA approved, ULC-S636 compliant 2" or 3" (5.1 cm or 7.6 cm) diameter PVC or ABS pipe, solvent cement and fittings throughout. The certified piping should be clearly marked with the ULC Std “S636” on the pipe and fittings.

Carefully follow the pipe manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.

The vent can be run through an existing unused chimney provided the space between the vent pipe and the chimney is insulated and closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.

Standard Furnace Connections

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the piping connections to the furnace are secure, airtight and adequately supported.

As shipped, attachment “couplings” for vent/flue and combustion air intake pipe connections are provided on the furnace’s top cover (upflow) or base pan (counterflow).

To use the standard connections, field-supplied vent/flue pipe and combustion air intake pipe (when applicable) should be secured directly to the furnace at these locations.

NOTES:

■ Do not use other commercially available “no hub connectors”

due to possible material conflicts.

■ The vent/flue pipe can also be secured using a PVC or ABS

elbow or coupling using the appropriate glue (see “Materials and Joining Methods”).

■ For nondirect vent installations, a minimum of one 90° elbow

should be installed on the combustion air intake coupling to guard against inadvertent blockage.

Combustion Air Pipe—Direct Vent Installations

On upflow units, secure the combustion air intake pipe directly to the air intake coupling. On counterflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe to the air intake coupling using the rubber coupling and worm gear hose clamps provided with the unit. The counterflow rubber coupling allows service removal of air intake piping internal to the furnace blower compartment.

NOTE: Because of probable material conflicts, do not use other commercially available “no hub connectors.” The combustion air intake pipe can also be secured directly to the counterflow unit air intake pipe coupling.

Alternate Furnace Connections

If the standard locations are undesirable for a specific installation, alternate side panel locations are available for both combustion air inlet and vent/flue pipe connections. These locations may be of particular benefit to upright upflow installations requiring additional access to an A coil, or to upright counterflow installations requiring additional access to a filter or electronic air cleaner, or to horizontal installations desiring vent/flue (and combustion air intake) piping run vertically from the side of the cabinet.

NOTE: Standard and alternate locations can be combined (for example, an installation may use the standard combustion air intake location but use the alternate vent/flue location or vice versa), if needed.

WARNING

Edges of sheet metal holes may be sharp. Use gloves as a precaution when removing hole plugs.

Alternate Vent/Flue Location

The alternate vent/flue location is the large hole directly in line with the induced draft blower outlet. To use the alternate vent/flue location, refer to the following steps and the “Alternate Vent/Flue Location” illustration.

NOTE: Counterflow instructions follow the upflow instructions.

Upflow Units

1. Remove and save the 4 screws securing the vent/flue

coupling to the furnace top panel.
