SECTION II: DUCTWORK
DUCTWORK GENERAL INFORMATION
The duct system’s design and installation must:
1.Handle an air volume appropriate for the served space and within
the operating parameters of the furnace specifications.
2.Be installed in accordance with standards of NFPA (National Fire
Protection Association) as outlined in NFPA pamphlets 90A and
90B (latest editions) or applicable national, provincial, or state, and
local fire and safety codes.
3.Create a closed duct system. For residential and Non-HUD Modular Home installations, when a 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 casing and terminating outside
the space containing the furnace.
4.Complete a path for heated or cooled air to circulate through the
air conditioning and heating equipment and to and from the conditioned space.
The cooling coil must be installed in the supply air duct, downstream of the furnace. Cooled air may not be passed over the heat
exchanger.
When the furnace is used in conjunction with a cooling coil, the coil
must be installed parallel with, or in the supply air side of the furnace to
avoid condensation in the primary heat exchanger. When a parallel flow
arrangement is used, dampers or other means used to contro l airflow
must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If
manually operated, the damper must be equipped with means to prevent the furnace or the air conditioner from operating unless the damper
is in full heat or cool position.
The duct system must be properly sized to obtain the correct airflow
for the furnace size that is being installed.
Refer to Table 7 and the furnace rating plate for the correct rise
range and static pressures
If the ducts are undersized, the result will be high duct static pressures and/or high temperature rises which can result in a heat
exchanger OVERHEATING CONDITION. This condition can result
in premature heat exchanger failure, which can result in personal
injury, property damage, or death.
FLOOR BASE AND DUCTWORK INSTALLATION
Downflow Combustible Floor Base
Installations on combustible materials require the use a combustible floor base shown in Figure 1.
The floor base must be secured to the floor. A supply air duct
plenum with 1" (2.54 cm) flange is installed through the
opening provided. The supply air duct is then secured to the
duct system with screws and sealed to prevent leaks. Do not
shoot screws through the flanges of the supply air duct into the top of
the combustible floor base. Install the furnace on the combustible floor
base so that the corners of the furnace are parallel with the corner
brackets of the floor base. Follow the instructions supplied with the
combustible floor base accessory.
This combustible floor base can be replaced with a matching cooling
coil, properly sealed to prevent leaks. Follow the instructions supplied
with the cooling coil cabinet for installing the cabinet to the duct connector. Refer to the installation instructions for additional information.
When replacing an existing furnace, if the existing plenum is not the
same size as the new furnace then the existing plenum must be
removed and a new plenum installed that is the proper size for the new
furnace.
Ductwork Installation
NOTE: When attaching duct flange, do not shoot the screw down into
the casing. Use the formed flange intended for duct flange attachment.
A proper Heat Loss/Gain Calculation should be done on all installations
for proper application of equipment. From this the ductwork sizing can
be calculated, ACCA Manual J and D and industry standards are helpful.
The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct
system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly.
The ducts attached to the furnace plenum, should be of sufficient size
so that the furnace plenum should be if sufficient size so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air
temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
Table 2 is a guide for determining whether the rectangular duct system
that the furnace is being connected to be of sufficient size for proper furnace operation.
4Unitary Products Group
268890-UIM-B-0607
Use the Example below to help you in calculating the duct area to determine whether the ducts have sufficient area so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air
temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
The following are general duct sizing guidelines that may not serve to
requirements of every application.
Example: The furnace input is 80,000 BTUH, 1,200 CFM blower
requirement. The recommended duct area is 216 sq.in, there are two 8
x 12 rectangular ducts attached to the plenum and there are two 7 inch
round ducts attached to the furnace.
2.The square inch area for 7 inch round ducts, 38.4 square inch x 2
= 76.8 square inches,
3.Then take the 192 square inch from the rectangular duct and add it
to the 76.8 square inch of round duct. The total square inch of duct
attached to the furnace supply plenum is 268.8 square inches.
This exceeds the recommended 216 square inch of duct.
In this example, the duct system attached to the plenum has a sufficient
area so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
Providing the return duct is properly sized as well.
1.Take 8 x 12, which equals 96 square inch x 2 = 192 square inches
then go to round duct size located in Table 3.

design ductwork for the building where the furnace is being installed.
There are several variables associated with proper duct sizing that are
not included in the tables. To properly design the ductwork for the building, Refer to the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook, Chapter on
“DUCT DESIGN” or a company that specializes in Residential and Modular Home duct designs.
IMPORTANT: If the supply air duct is being connected to the furnace
without the use of an accessory duct connector, then a transition duct
The supply air temperature MUST NEVER exceed the Maximum
Supply Air Temperature, specified on the nameplate.
Operating the furnace above the maximum supply air temperature
will cause the heat exchanger to overheat, causing premature heat
exchanger failure. Improper duct sizing, dirty air filters, incorrect
manifold pressure, incorrect gas orifice and/or a faulty limit switch
can cause the furnace to operate above the maximum supply air
temperature. Refer to sections II, III, IX & X for additional information on correcting the problem.

Downflow Air Conditioning Coil Cabinet
The Cooling Coil Cabinet can be used in place of the combustible floor
base for downflow installations on combustible materials. The furnace
should be installed with the cooling coil cabinet specifically intended for
downflow applications. The cooling coil cabinet must be secured to the
floor. A supply air duct plenum is installed through the opening provided. The supply air duct is then secured to the duct system with
screws and sealed to prevent leaks. If a matching cooling coil is used, it
may be placed directly on the furnace outlet using the accessory transition kit and sealed to prevent leakage. The transition kit must be used to
secure the cooling coil cabinet to the furnace casing when installed in a
downflow configuration.
These kits are required in downflow application when using G*F* series
coils. These kits are not required with MC/FC series coils, but please
ensurethat the coil and furnace are sucured and that there are noair
leaks.
This transition kit may be installed in one of two ways. The transition kit
may be installed and secured to either the furnace or the cooling coil
cabinet by the use of screws and then it must be sealed to prevent
leaks.
• If the transition kit has been installed on the cooling coil cabinet it
must be secured to the cooling coil cabinet with screws. The supply air side of the furnace is then placed on the cooling coil cabinet and then sealed for leaks.
• If the transition kit has been installed on the supply air side of the
furnace it must be secured to the furnace with screws. The furnace and the transition kit are then placed on the cooling coil cabinet and then sealed for leaks.
NOTE: Refer to instructions packed out with coil cabinet, for securing
and sealing to the furnace.
IMPORTANT: The furnace, transition kit, and the cooling coil cabinet
MUST BE SEALED as needed to prevent leaks, AND SECURED. Refer
to the assembly drawing in Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: On all installations without a coil, a removable access
panel is recommended in the outlet duct such that smoke or reflected
light would be observable inside the casing to indicate the presence of
leaks in the heat exchanger. This access cover shall be attached in
such a manner as to prevent leaks.

Attach the return plenum to the furnace inlet duct flanges. This is typically through the use of S cleat material when a metal plenum is used.
The use of an approved flexible duct connector is recommended on all
installations. The connection of the plenum to the furnace and all the
ducts connecting to the plenum must be sealed to prevent air leakage.
The sheet metal should be crosshatched to eliminate any popping of
the sheet metal when the indoor fan is energized.
The duct system is a very important part of the installation. If the duct
system is improperly sized the furnace will not operate properly. The
ducts attached to the furnace must be of sufficient size so that the furnace operates at the specified external static pressure and within the air
temperature rise specified on the nameplate.
Attic installations must meet all minimum clearances to combustibles
and have floor support with required service accessibility.

Downflow Filters
Downflow furnaces typically are installed with the filters located above
the furnace, extending into the return air plenum or duct. Any branch
duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum must attach to
the vertical plenum above the filter height.
Filters(s) may be located in the duct system external to the furnace
using an external duct filter box attached to the furnace plenum or at the
end of the duct in a return filter grille(s). The use of straps and / or supports is required to support the weight of the external filter box.
If the accessory electronic air cleaner is installed, be sure the air
cleaner is designed to accommodate the furnace CFM (cm/m) and the
air cleaner is installed so it does not obstruct the return airflow. Consideration should be given when locating the air cleaner for maintenance
and temperatures should the indoor fan motor fail to operate. The use
of straps and / or supports is required to support the weight of the electronic air cleaner. It is recommended that the air cleaner not be located
within 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the top of the return air opening on the
furnace. Refer to the instructions supplied with the electronic air
cleaner.
All loose accessories shipped with the furnace must be removed
from the blower compartment, prior to installation.
If pleated media air filters or any filter that has a large pressure drop is
installed in the return air duct system be sure that the pressure drop
caused by the air filter will not prevent the furnace from operating within
the rise range specified on the rating plate. If the furnace does not operate within the specified rise range then a larger air filter or an air filter
that has a lower pressure drop must be installed.
IMPORTANT: For easier filter access in a downflow configuration, a
removable access panel is recommended in the vertical run of the
return air plenum immediately above the furnace.

SECTION IV: GAS PIPING
GAS SAFETY
An overpressure protection device, such as a pressure regulator,
must be installed in the gas piping system upstream of the furnace
and must act to limit the downstream pressure to the gas valve so it
does not exceed 0.5 PSI {14" w.c. (3.48 kPa)}. Pressures exceeding 0.5 PSI {14” w.c. (3.48 kPa)} at the gas valve will cause damage
to the gas valve, resulting in a fire or explosion or cause damage to
the furnace or some of its components that will result in property
damage and loss of life.

IMPORTANT: Plan your gas supply before determining the correct gas
pipe entry. Use 90-degree service elbow(s), or short nipples and conventional 90-degree elbow(s) to enter through the cabinet access holes.
GAS PIPING INSTALLATION
Properly sized wrought iron, approved flexible or steel pipe must be
used when making gas connections to the unit. If local codes allow the
use of a flexible gas appliance connection, always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector that has previously serviced another gas
appliance.
Some utility companies or local codes require pipe sizes larger than the
minimum sizes listed in these instructions and in the codes. The furnace
rating plate and the instructions in this section specify the type of gas
approved for this furnace - only use those approved gases. The installation of a drip leg and ground union is required. Refer to Figure 8.

IMPORTANT: An accessible manual shutoff valve must be installed
upstream of the furnace gas controls and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the furnace.
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual external manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Never apply a pipe wrench to the body of the gas valve when
installing piping. A wrench must be placed on the octagonal hub
located on the gas inlet side of the valve. Placing a wrench to the
body of the gas valve will damage the valve causing improper operation and/or the valve to leak.
Gas piping may be connected from either side of the furnace using any
of the gas pipe entry knockouts on both sides of the furnace. Refer to
Figure 3 dimensions.
GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION FOR PROPANE (LP)
This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation,
but may be converted to operate on propane (LP) gas by using a factory-supplied LP conversion kit. Follow the instructions supplied with
the LP kit. Refer to Table 6 or the instructions in the propane (LP) conversion kit for the proper gas orifice size.
HIGH ALTITUDE GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION
This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation
at 0 – 8,000 feet (0-m – 2,438 m) above sea level.
The manifold pressure must be changed in order to manitain proper
and safe operation when the furnace is installed in a location where the
altitude is greater than 8,000 feet (2,438 m) above sea level. Refer to to
Table 6 for proper manifold pressure settings.
HIGH ALTITUDE PRESSURE SWITCH CONVERSION
For installation where the altitude is less than 8,000 feet (2,438 m), it is
not required that the pressure switch be changed. For altitudes above
8,000 feet (2,438 m), see Field Installed Accessories - High Altitude
pressure Switch.
Unitary Products Group9
268890-UIM-B-0607
TABLE 6:
Nominal Manifold Pressure
Manifold Pressures (in wc)Manifold Pressures (kpa)
It is very important to choose the correct kit and/or gas orifices for the altitude and the type of gas for which the furnace is being installed.
Only use natural gas in furnaces designed for natural gas. Only use propane (LP) gas for furnaces that have been properly converted to use propane (LP) gas. Do not use this furnace with butane gas.
Incorrect gas orifices or a furnace that has been improperly converted will create an extremely dangerous condition resulting in premature heat
exchanger failure, excessive sooting, high levels of carbon monoxide, personal injury, property damage, a fire hazard and/or death.
High altitude and propane (LP) conversions are required in order for the appliance to satisfactory meet the application.
An authorized distributor or dealer must make all gas conversions.
In Canada, a certified conversion station or other qualified agency, using factory specified and/or approved parts, must perform the conversion.
The installer must take every precaution to insure that the furnace has been converted to the proper gas orifice size when the furnace is installed.
Do not attempt to drill out any orifices to obtain the proper orifice size. Drilling out a gas orifice will cause misalignment of the burner flames,
causing premature heat exchanger burnout, high levels of carbon monoxide, excessive sooting, a fire hazard, personal injury, property damage
and/or death.
