WARNING
Possible property damage, personal injury or death due to fire, explosion, smoke, soot, condensation, electrical shock or carbon monoxide may result from improper installation, repair, operation or maintenance of this product.
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 (18ºC 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.
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
Goodman 48
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 an application where the typical
operating sound level of a furnace is deemed objectionable, an optional sound reduction kit is available. Consult your local distributor for more details.
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.
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 combustion air intake or vent/flue connections are 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.

Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements
D
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.
Goodman 51
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
Alternate electrical and gas line connections
Drain pan
Freeze protection
Furnace suspension.
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.
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.
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. 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 arrangements.

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.
AND CONSIDERATIONS
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.

Alternate Vent/Flue Connections
In horizontal installations, provisions for alternate flue and combustion air piping are available for upflow furnaces with left discharge and counterflow furnaces with right air discharge. This configuration allows the 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 and combustion air 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.

INSTALLATIONS
WARNING
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.

VENT/FLUE PIPE AND
COMBUSTION AIR PIPE
WARNING
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.
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.

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 manufactures 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 manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.
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 3 ft to 5 ft (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 3 ft (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 4 ft (121.9 cm) below, 4 ft (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.

Canadian Venting Requirements
In Canada, venting must conform to the requirements of the current CAN/CSA-B149.1-05 Installation Code. Use only CSA­listed, 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.
11
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.

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.

Nondirect Vent (Single Pipe) Piping
Nondirect vent installations require only a vent/flue pipe. The vent pipe can be run horizontally with an exit through the side of the building or run vertically with an exit through the roof of the building. The vent can also be run through an existing unused chimney; however, it must extend a minimum of 12" (30.5 cm) above the top of the chimney. The space between the vent pipe and the chimney must be closed with a weather-tight, corrosion­resistant flashing. For details concerning connection of the vent/ flue pipe to the furnace, refer to “Vent Pipe Installation and Combustion Air—Standard Furnace Connections” or “Vent Pipe Installation and Combustion Air—Alternate Furnace Connections” for specific details.
Refer to the following “Nondirect Vent (Single Pipe) Piping—Vent/ Flue Pipe Terminations” for specific details on termination construction.
Although nondirect vent installations do not require a combustion air intake pipe, a minimum of one 90° elbow should be attached to the furnace’s combustion air intake if an upright installation uses the standard intake location, or a horizontal installation uses the alternate air intake location. This elbow will guard against inadvertent blockage of the air intake.
14
Nondirect Vent Applications
Refer to the following tables for applicable length, elbows and pipe diameter for construction of the vent/flue pipe systems of a nondirect vent (single pipe) installation. In addition to the vent/flue pipe, a single 90º elbow should be secured to the combustion air intake to prevent inadvertent blockage. The tee used in the vent/flue termination must be included when determining the number of elbows in the piping system.

determining the number of elbows in the piping system.
Vent/Flue Pipe Terminations
The vent/flue pipe may terminate vertically, as through a roof,
or horizontally, as through an outside wall.
Vertical vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in
“Vertical Vent Termination (Single Pipe)” illustration. Refer to “Termination Locations” in this section for details concerning location restrictions.
The penetration of the vent through the roof must be sealed
tight with proper flashing such as is used with a plastic plumbing vent.
Horizontal vent/flue pipe terminations should be as shown in
“Horizontal Vent Termination (Single Pipe)” illustration. Refer to “Termination Locations” in this section for details concerning location restrictions.
A 2³⁄₈" (6.1 cm) diameter wall penetration is required for 2"
(5.1 cm) diameter pipe.
A 3" (7.6 cm) diameter hole is required for a 2¹⁄₂" (6.4 cm)
pipe.
A 3¹⁄₂" (8.9 cm) diameter hole is required for 3" (7.6 cm)
diameter pipe.
To secure the pipe passing through the wall and prohibit
damage to the piping connections, a coupling should be installed on either side of the wall and solvent cemented to a length of pipe connecting the 2 couplings.
The length of pipe should be the wall thickness plus the
depth of the socket fittings to be installed on the inside and outside of the wall.
The wall penetration should be sealed with silicone caulking
material.
In a basement installation, the vent/flue pipe can be run
between joist spaces. NOTE: If the vent pipe must go below a joist and then up into
the last joist space to penetrate the header, two 45° elbows should be used to reach the header rather than two 90° elbows.

Direct Vent (Dual Pipe) Piping
The inlet air screens provided in the installation instruction packet are available for the installer to use in the inlet of the combustion air pipe to prevent animals from building nests in the combustion air pipe. Installation of screens, while strongly recommended, is not required and will not affect performance of the furnace.
Direct vent installations require both a combustion air intake and a vent/flue pipe. The pipes may be run horizontally and exit through the side of the building or run vertically and exit through the roof of the building. The pipes may be run through an existing unused chimney; however, they must extend a minimum of 12" (30.5 cm) above the top of the chimney. The space between the pipes and the chimney must be closed with a weathertight, corrosion resistant flashing. Both the combustion air intake and vent/flue pipe terminations must be in the same atmospheric pressure zone. See “Termination Locations,” or “Concentric Vent Termination” in this section for specific details on termination constructions. For details concerning connection of pipes to the furnace, refer to the “Standard Furnace Connections” or “Alternate Furnace Connections” in this section.

Vent/Flue and Combustion Air Pipe
Lengths and Diameters
Refer to the following table for applicable length, elbows and pipe diameter for construction of the vent/flue and combustion air intake pipe systems of a direct vent (dual pipe) installation. The number of elbows tabulated represents the number of elbows and/or tees in each vent/flue and combustion air intake pipe. Elbows and/or tees used in the terminations must be included when determining the number of elbows in the piping systems.
If the combustion air intake pipe is to be installed above a finished ceiling or other area where dripping of condensate will be objectionable, insulation of the combustion air pipe may be required. Use ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) thick closed-cell foam insulation where required.
