DESCRIPTION

These compact units (31-1/2" high) employ induced combus­tion, reliable electronic ignition and high heat transfer heat
exchangers. The units may be factory shipped for upflow/hor­izontal application and converted for downflow application.
These units may also be factory shipped for downflow appli­cation and converted for upflow/horizontal applications
Note: The 150 MBH input model is upflow/horizontal only and
may not be converted to the downflow position.
These furnaces are designed for residential installation in a
basement, closet, alcove, attic, or garage. All units are factory
assembled, wired and tested to assure safe dependable and
economical installation and operation.
These units are Category I listed and may be common vented
with another gas appliance as allowed by the National Fuel
Gas Code.

WARRANTY

20-year limited warranty on the heat exchanger.

5-year limited parts warranty.

RETURN AIR AND FILTERS

The return air ducts to the furnace must have a total cross
sectional area of not less than two square inches per 1000
BTUH of furnace input rating for heating operation. If air con-

ditioning is to be installed with the furnace, or if it may be
added at a later time, larger return air ducts may be
required, depending on the capacity of the air condi­tioner and the airflow required.

For applications requiring more than 1800 CFM, it
is required to use the bottom return, both side
returns or one side plus the bottom return.

• Single side return is not approved on 5 Ton mod-

• 18” minimum height for return air box for bottom

• 24” minimum height for return air box for bottom

APPLYING FILTER PRESSURE DROP TO
DETERMINE SYSTEM AIRFLOW

To determine the approximate airflow of the unit with a filter in
place, follow the steps below:

1. Select the filter type.

2. Select the number of return air openings or calculate the
return opening size in square inches to determine the
proper filter pressure drop.

3. Determine the External System Static Pressure (ESP)
without the filter.

4. Select a filter pressure drop from the table based upon
the number of return air openings or return air opening
size and add to the ESP from Step 3 to determine the
total system static.

5. If total system static matches a ESP value in the airflow
table (i.e. 0.20, 0.60, etc.,) the system airflow corre­sponds to the intersection of the ESP column and Model/
Blower Speed row.

6. If the total system static falls between ESP values in the
table (i.e. 0.58, 0.75, etc.), the static pressure may be
rounded to the nearest value in the table determining the
airflow using Step 5 or calculate the airflow by using the

Disposable Hogs Hair Pleated

Example: For a 100,000 BTUH furnace with 2 return open­ings and operating on high speed blower, it is found that total
system static is 0.58" w.c. To determine the system airflow,
complete the following steps:

1. Obtain the airflow values at 0.50" & 0.60" ESP.

Airflow @ 0.50": 1717 CFM
Airflow @ 0.60": 1590 CFM

2. Subtract the airflow @ 0.50" from the airflow @ 0.60" to
obtain airflow difference.

1590 - 1717 = -127 CFM

3. Subtract 0.50” from the total system static, and divide
this difference by the difference in ESP values in the
table, 0.60" - 0.50", to obtain a percentage.

(0.58 - 0.50) / (0.60 - 0.50) = 0.8

4. Multiply percentage by airflow difference to obtain airflow
reduction.

(0.8)x(-127) = -102

5. Subtract airflow reduction value from airflow @ 0.50" to
obtain actual airflow @ 0.58" ESP.

1717 - 102 = 1615
