DANGER
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.

■ LPT-00A may be used on models with AA revisions.
■ LPT-03 is compatible with both the White Rodgers and the
Honeywell gas control valves.
NOTE: Inlet gas pressure must not exceed the maximum value
shown in the Inlet Gas Pressure chart.
The minimum supply pressure should not vary from that shown in
the Inlet Gas Pressure chart, because this could prevent the unit
from having dependable ignition. In addition, gas input to the
burners must not exceed the rated input shown on the rating
plate. Overfiring of the unit could result in premature heat
exchanger failure.
High Altitude Derate—U.S. Installations Only
IMPORTANT: The gas/electric units naturally derate with
altitude. Do not attempt to increase the firing rate by changing
orifices or increasing the manifold pressure. This can cause poor
combustion and equipment failure. At all altitudes, the manifold
pressure must be within 0.3" W.C. of that listed on the nameplate
for the fuel used. At all altitudes and with either fuel, the air
temperature rise must be within the range listed on the unit
nameplate.
Refer to the installation manual provided with the LP kit for
conversion from Natural gas to propane gas and for altitude
adjustments.
NOTE: Up to 7,000 ft (2,134 m), no changes are required; above
7,000 ft (2,134 m), refer to High Altitude Kit HA-02.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid possible unsatisfactory operation
or equipment damage due to under firing of equipment, do not
undersize the Natural/propane gas piping from the meter/tank to
the unit. When sizing a trunk line, include all appliances on that
line that could be operated simultaneously.
The rating plate is stamped with the model number, type of gas
and gas input rating. Make sure that the unit is equipped to
operate on the type of gas available. The gas line installation
must comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223.1.

of a flex connector and/or copper piping is permitted as long
as it is in agreement with local codes.
2. Use pipe joint compound on male threads only. Pipe joint
compound must be resistant to the action of the fuel used.
3. Use ground joint unions.
4. Install a drip leg to trap dirt and moisture before it can enter
the gas control valve. The drip leg must be a minimum of 3"
(7.6 cm) long.
5. Use 2 pipe wrenches when making the connection to the gas
control valve to keep the valve from turning.
6. Install a manual shutoff valve in a convenient location (within
6 ft [1.8 m] of the unit) between the meter and the unit.
7. Tighten all joints securely.
8. The unit must be connected to the building piping by one of
the following methods:
■ Rigid metallic pipe and fittings
■ Semirigid metallic tubing and metallic fittings (aluminum
alloy tubing must not be used in exterior locations)
■ Listed gas appliance connectors used in accordance with
the terms of their listing that are completely in the same
room as the equipment
■ The connector or tubing must be protected against
physical and thermal damage. Aluminum alloy tubing and
connectors must be coated to avoid external corrosion
when in contact with masonry, plaster or insulation or are

NOTE: Propane gas conversion kits must be installed to convert
units to propane gas.
A gas detecting warning system is the only reliable way to detect
a propane gas leak. Rust can reduce the level of odorant in
propane gas. Do not rely on your sense of smell. Contact a local
propane gas supplier about installing a gas detecting warning
system.
All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety standards
of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, NBFU Manual 58.
For satisfactory operation, propane gas supply pressure must be
within 9.7" W.C. to 10.3" W.C. at the furnace manifold with all gas
appliances in operation.
Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on 3 main factors:
■ Vaporization rate, depending on the temperature of the liquid
and the wetted surface area of the container or containers.
■ Proper pressure regulation. Two-stage regulation is
recommended for both cost and efficiency.
■ Pressure drop in the lines between the regulators, and

WARNING
To avoid property damage or personal injury, be sure
there is NO OPEN FLAME in the vicinity during air
bleeding.
There will be air in the gas supply line after testing for leaks on a
new installation. Therefore, the air must be bled from the line by
loosening the ground joint union until pure gas is expelled.
Tighten the ground joint union and wait for 5 minutes until all gas
has been dissipated in the air. Be certain there is no open flame in
the vicinity during air bleeding procedure. The unit is placed in
operation by closing the main electrical disconnect switch for the
unit.
Goodman 91
WARNING
To avoid property damage, personal injury or death due
to fire or explosion caused by a propane gas leak, install
a gas detecting warning device. Since rust can reduce the
level of odorant in propane gas, a gas detecting warning
device is the only reliable way to detect a propane gas
leak. Contact a local propane gas supplier about installing
a gas detecting warning device.
Goodman 92
Tanks and Piping
Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization,
recommended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available
from most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.
Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead and most
standard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be
used. Shellac-based compounds resistant to the actions of
liquefied petroleum gases are satisfactory.

To prevent property damage or serious personal injury
due to fire or explosion caused by a propane gas leak,
install a gas detecting warning device.
If the propane gas unit is installed in an excavated area
or a confined space, a warning device is required due to:
-Propane gas is heavier than air and any leaking gas
can settle in any low areas or confined spaces.
-Propane gas odorant may fade, making the gas
undetectable except with a warning device.
