292278-UIM-A-0108
INSPECTION
As soon as a unit is received, it should be inspected for possib le damage during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damage
should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A separate request for
inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in writing. Also, before
installation the unit should be checked for screws or bolts, which may
have loosened in transit. There are no shipping or spacer brackets
which need to be removed.
FURNACE LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
The furnace shall be located using the following guidelines:
1.Where a minimum amount of air intake/vent piping and elbows will
be required.
2.As centralized with the air distribution as possible.
3.Where adequate combustion air will be available (particularly
when the appliance is not using outdoor combustion air).
4.Where it will not interfere with proper air circulation in the confined
space.
5.Where the outdoor combustion air/vent terminal will not be blocked
or restricted. Refer to “COMBUSTION AIR / VENT CLEARANCES” located in SECTION VII of these instructions. These minimum clearances must be maintained in the installation.
6.Where the unit will be installed in a level position with no more
than 1/4” (6.4 mm) slope side-to-side and front-to-back to provide
proper condensate drainage.
Installation in freezing temperatures:
1.Furnace shall be installed in an area where ventilation facilities
provide for safe limits of ambient temperature under normal operating conditions. Ambient temperatures must not fall below 32°F
(0°C) unless the condensate system is protected from freezing.
2.Do not allow return air temperature to be below 55º F (13° C) for
extended periods. To do so may cause condensation to occur in
the main heat exchanger, leading tp premature heat exchanger
failure.
Improper installation in an ambient below 32ºF (0.0° C) could create
a hazard, resulting in damage, injury or death.
3.If this furnace is installed in any area where the ambient temperature may drop below 32° F (0° C), a UL listed self-regulated heat
tape must be installed on any condensate drain lines. It is recommended that self regulating heat tape rated at least 3 watts per
foot be used. This must be installed around the condensate drain
lines in the unconditioned space. Always install the heat tape per
the manufacturer's instructions. Cover the self-regulating heat
tape with fiberglass, Armaflex or other heat resistant insulating
material.
4.If this unit is installed in an unconditioned space and an extended
power failure occurs, there will be potential damage to the condensate trap, drain lines and internal unit components. Following a
power failure situation, do not operate the unit until inspection and
repairs are performed.
Clearances for access:
Ample clearances should be provided to permit easy access to the unit.
The following minimum clearances are recommended:
1.Twenty-four (24) inches (61 cm) between the front of the furnace
and an adjacent wall or another appliance, when access is
required for servicing and cleaning.
2.Eighteen (18) inches (46 cm) at the side where access is required
for passage to the front when servicing or for inspection or
replacement of flue/vent connections.
In all cases, accessibility clearances shall take precedence over clearances for combustible materials where accessibility clearances are
greater.

4.Complete a path for heated or cooled air to circulate through the
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 control 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 5 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.

approved flexible duct connector is recommended on all installations to
prevent noise transmission. All connections should be sealed to prevent
air leakage. Sheet metal should be crosshatched to eliminate any popping when the indoor fan is energized.
When replacing an existing furnace, if the existing supply plenum is not
the same size as the new furnace then the existing plenum must be
removed and a new plenum installed that is of the proper size for the
new furnace. The minimum plenum height is 12” (30 cm). If the plenum
is shorter than 12” (30 cm) the turbulent air flow may cause the limit
controls not to operate as designed if at all.
NOTE: When attaching duct flange, do not shoot the screw down into
the casing. Use the formed flange intended for duct flange attachment.
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 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.
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.

IMPORTANT: The minimum plenum height is 12” (30 cm). The furnace
will not operate properly on a shorter plenum height. The minimum recommended rectangular duct height is 4” (10 cm) attached to the plenum.
IMPORTANT: The air temperature rise should be taken only after the
furnace has been operating for at least 15 minutes. Temperatures and
external static pressures should be taken 6” (15 cm) past the first bend
from the furnace in the supply duct and the return duct. If an external filter box or an electronic air cleaner is installed, take the return air readings before the filter box or air cleaner.
1.The Air Temperature Rise is determined by subtracting the Return
Air Temperature Reading from the Supply Air Temperature Reading.
2.The External Static Pressure is determined by adding the Supply
Duct Static Pressure reading to the Return Duct Static Pressure
reading and adding the pressure drop across any applied coil.
TABLES 2 and 3 are to be used as a guide only to help the installer
determine if the duct sizes are large enough to obtain the proper air flow
(CFM) through the furnace. TABLES 2 and 3 ARE NOT to be used to

There are several variables associated with proper duct sizing that are
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 and III for additional information on
correcting the problem.
If a matching cooling coil is used, it may be placed directly on the furnace outlet and sealed to prevent leakage. Follow the coil instructions
for installing the supply plenum. 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.

RETURN PLENUM CONNECTION
Return air may enter the furnace through the side(s) or bottom depending on the type of application. Return air may not be connected into the
rear panel of the unit. In order to stay within the velocity rating of the filter(s), it is recommended that applications over 1800 CFM (57 m³/min)
use return air from two sides, one side and the bottom or bottom only.
For single return application, see data and notes on blower performance data tables in this manual.
BOTTOM RETURN AND ATTIC INSTALLATIONS
Bottom return applications normally pull return air through a base platform or return air plenum. Be sure the return platform structure or return
air plenum is suitable to support the weight of the furnace.
The furnace base is equipped with a rectangular blockoff panel that can
be removed by performing the following steps:
1.Lay the furnace on its back.
2.Remove the screws from the toe plate and remove the toe plate.
3.Pull the base plate out of the furnace and re-install the toe plate.
4.Be sure to seal the furnace to plenum connections to prevent air
leakage. Refer to Figure 1 for unit and plenum dimensions.

SECTION V: 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.

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 3.

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 greater
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The gas valve body is a very thin casting that cannot take any
external pressure. 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 1 dimensions.
The inlet to the gas valve lines up directly with the opening in the left
side of the furnace casing. To line up with the opening in the right side
of the casing, two street ells should be used.
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 which contains a new gas valve. Follow
the instructions supplied with the LP kit. Refer to the instructions in the
propane (LP) conversion kit for the proper gas orifice size.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation
at 0 – 4,000 ft. (0 m – 1220 m) above sea level.
At elevations above 4,000 feet, the furnace will automatically reduce it’s
input rate if necessary to maintain good combustion. If the natural gas
being supplied has also been derated by the gas supplier, it may be
necessary to increase the orifice size in order to achieve the rated input.
PROPANE
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.
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.
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.

SECTION VII: COMBUSTION AIR AND
VENT SYSTEM
COMBUSTION AIR AND VENT SAFETY
This Category IV, dual certified direct vent furnace is desig ned for residential application. It may be installed without modification to the condensate system in a basement, garage, equipment room, alcove, attic
or any other indoor location provided the space temperature is 32 °F
(0°C) or higher and where all required clearance to combustibles and
other restrictions are met. The combustion air and the venting system
must be installed in accordance with Section 5.3, Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest
edition), or Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CSA B149.1, National Gas and
Propane Codes (latest edition) or applicable provisions of the local
building code and these instructions.
IMPORTANT: The “VENT SYSTEM” must be installed as specified in
these instructions for Residential and Non HUD Modular Homes. The
sealed combustion air / vent system is the only configuration that can
be installed in a Non HUD Modular Home.
When combustion air pipe is installed above a suspended ceiling or
when it passes through a warm and humid space, the pipe must be
insulated with 1/2” Armaflex or other heat resistant type insulation.
Vent piping must be insulated with 1/2” insulation if it will be subjected to freezing temperatures such as routing through unheated
areas or through an unused chimney.
COMBUSTION AIR/VENT PIPE SIZING
The size of pipe required will be determined by the furnace model, the
total length of pipe required and the number of elbows required.
Table 6 lists the maximum equivalent length of pipe allowed for each
model of furnace. The equivalent length of elbows is shown in Table 7.
The equivalent length of the vent system is the total length of straight
pipe PLUS the equivalent length of all of the elbows.
The following rules must also be followed:
1.Long radius (sweep) elbows are recommended. Standard elbows
may be used, but since they have a longer equivalent length, they
will reduce the total length of pipe that will be allowed. Short radius
(plumbing vent) elbows are not allowed. The standard dimensions
of the acceptable elbows are shown below.
2.The maximum equivalent length listed in Table 6 is for the vent piping and the air intake piping separately. For example, if the table
allows 65 equivalent feet for a particular model, then the vent can
have 65 equivalent feet of pipe, AND the combustion air intake can
have another 65 equivalent feet of pipe.
3.Three vent terminal elbows (two for the vent and one for the combustion air intake) are already accounted for and need not be
included in the equivalent length calculation.
4.All combustion air and vent pipe must conform to American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards D1785 (Schedule 40 PVC),
D2665 (PVC-DWV), F891 (PVC-DWV Cellular Core), D2261
(ABS-DWV) or F628 (Schedule 40 ABS). Pipe cement and primer
must conform to ASTM Standard D2546 (PVC) or D2235 (ABS). If
ABS pipe is to be used, any joint where ABS pipe is joined to PVC
pipe must be glued with cement that is approved for use with
BOTH materials. Metallic materials must not be used for venting or
air intake.
5.If a flexible connector is used in the vent system, it must be made
of a material that is resistant to acidic exposure and to at least
225° F temperature. Flexible connectors are also allowed in the
combustion air pipe.
6.All models are supplied with 2" vent connections. When the pipe
must be increased to 3" diameter, the transition from 2" to 3" must
be done as close to the furnace as possible. For upflow models,
the transition from 2" to 3" should be done immediately above the
furnace. For downflow or horizontal models, the transition from 2"
to 3" pipe should be done immediately after the drain tee or drain
elbow.
7.In Canada, vents shall be certified to ULC S636, Standard for T ype
BH Gas Venting Systems. IPEX System 636 PVC is certified to
this standard.
8.In Canada, the first three feet (900 mm) of the vent must be readily
accessible for inspection.

Example:
An 80,000 BTUH furnace requires 32 feet of pipe and four 90º elbows.
Using 2" pipe and standard elbows, the total equivalent length will be:
32 feet of 2" pipe =32 equivalent feet
4 - 90º standard 2" elbows = (4x10) = 40 equivalent feet
Total = 72 equivalent feet of 2" pipe
This exceeds the 65 foot maximum equivalent length of 2" pipe allowed
for that model and is thus not
acceptable.
By using sweep elbows, the total equivalent length will be:
32 feet of 2" pipe =32 equivalent feet
4 - 90º standard 2" elbows = (4x5) = 20 equivalent feet
Total = 52 equivalent feet of 2" pipe
This is less than the 65 foot maximum equivalent length of 2" pipe
allowed for that model and is thus acceptable.
Alternatively, using 3" pipe and standard elbows, the total equivalent
length will be:
32 feet of 3" pipe =32 equivalent feet
4 - 90º standard 2" elbows = (4x5) = 40 equivalent feet
Total = 72 equivalent feet of 3" pipe
This is less than the 90 foot maximum equivalent length of 3" pipe
allowed for that model and is thus acceptable.

when the vent is increased to 3” (7.6 cm).
COMBUSTION AIR AND VENT PIPING ASSEMBLY
The final assembly procedure for the combustion air and vent piping is
as follows:
1.Cut piping to the proper length beginning at the furnace.
2.Deburr the piping inside and outside.
3.Chamfer (bevel) the outer edges of the piping.
4.Dry-fit the vent piping assembly from the furnace to the outside termination checking for proper fit support and slope.
5.Dry-fit the combustion air piping assembly checking for proper fit,
support and slope on the following systems:
A.Sealed combustion air systems from the furnace to the out-
side termination.
B.Ventilated combustion air systems from the furnace to the

Combustion Air Intake/Vent Connections
This installation requires combustion air to be brought in from outdoors.
This requires a properly sized pipe (Shown in Figure 18) that will bring
air in from the outdoors to the furnace combustion air intake collar on
the burner box. The second pipe (Shown in Figure 18) is the furnace
vent pipe.
The combustion air intake pipe should be located either through the
wall (horizontal or side vent) or through the roof (vertical vent). Care
should be taken to locate side vented systems where trees or shrubs
will not block or restrict supply air from entering the terminal.
Also, the terminal assembly should be located as far as possible from a
swimming pool or a location where swimming pool chemicals might be
stored. Be sure the terminal assembly follows the outdoor clearances
listed in Section #1 “Outdoor Air Contaminants.”

This type of installation requires that the supply air to the appliance(s) be of a sufficient amount to support all of the appliance(s)
in the area. Operation of a mechanical exhaust, such as an exhaust
fan, kitchen ventilation system, clothes dryer or fireplace may create conditions requiring special attention to avoid unsatisfactory
operation of gas appliances. A venting problem or a lack of supply
air will result in a hazardous condition, which can cause the appliance to soot and generate dangerous levels of CARBON MONOXIDE, which can lead to serious injury, property damage and / or
death.

Vent and Supply (Outside) Air Safety Check Procedure
Follow the procedure in ANSI Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code. Refer to
the section on the “Recommended Procedure for Safety Inspection of
an Existing Appliance” or in Canada B149.1-00 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code section on “Venting Systems and Air Supply for
Appliances” and all local codes. In addition to the procedure specified in
ANSI Z223.1, It is recommended that you follow the venting safety procedure below. This procedure is designed to detect an inadequate ventilation system that can cause the appliances in the area to operate
improperly causing unsafe levels of Carbon Monoxide or an unsafe
condition to occur.
1.Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch.
Determine that there is no blockage, restriction, leakage, corrosion
or other deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe condition
2.Close all building doors and windows and all doors.
3.Turn on clothes dryers and TURN ON any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at
maximum speed. Open the fireplace dampers. Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan.
4.Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so the appliance shall
operate continuously.
5.Test each appliance (such as a water heater) equipped with a draft
hood for spillage (down-draft or no draft) at the draft hood relief
opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Appliances that
do not have draft hoods need to be checked at the vent pipe as
close to the appliance as possible. Use a combustion analyzer to
check the CO2 and CO levels of each appliance. Use a draft
gauge to check for a downdraft or inadequate draft condition.
6.After it has been determined that each appliance properly vents
when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust
fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to
their normal condition.
7.If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, a
problem exists with either the venting system or the appliance
does not have enough combustion air (Supply Air from outside) to
complete combustion. This condition must be corrected before the
appliance can function safely.
NOTE: An unsafe condition exists when the CO reading exceeds 100
ppm and the draft reading is not in excess of - 0.1 in. W.C. (-25 kPa)
with all of the appliance(s) operating at the same time.
8.Any corrections to the venting system and / or to the supply (outside) air system must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code Z223.1 or CAN/CGA B149.1-00 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code (latest editions). If the vent system must be
resized, follow the appropriate tables in Appendix G of the above
codes or for this appliance only refer to Table 6 of these instructions.
Ventilated Combustion Air
The ventilated attic space or a crawl space from which the combustion
air is taken must comply with the requirements specified in “AIR
SOURCE FROM OUTDOORS” in this instruction or in Section 5.3, Air
for Combustion and Ventilation of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 (latest edition). This type installation requires two properly sized
pipes. One brings combustion air from a properly ventilated attic space
or crawl space and a second pipe that extends from the furnace vent
connection (top right of unit) to the exterior of the building. Refer to
Table 6 for intake pipe sizing, allowable length and elbow usage. Follow
all notes, procedures and required materials in the SEALED COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY section in these instructions when installing the
combustion air pipe from the unit and into a ventilated attic space or
crawl space. DO NOT terminate vent pipe in an Attic or Crawl Space.
Ventilate d Combus tio n Air Termination
Refer to Figure 21 for required attic termination for the combustion air
intake pipe. For attic termination, use two 90 elbows with the open end
in a downward position. Be sure to maintain 12” (30 cm) clearance
above any insulation, flooring or other material.
A crawl space combustion air installation consists of a straight pipe from
the PVC coupling on the burner box that extends into the crawl space
and terminates with a 1/4” (6.35 mm) mesh screen and no elbows.

Specially Engineered Installations
The above requirements shall be permitted to be waived where special
engineering, approved by the authority having jurisdiction, provides an
adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation.
Be sure to instruct the owner not to block this intake pipe.
SECTION VIII: CONDENSATE PIPING
The condensate drain connection is provided in the furnace for field
installation. It consists of a formed hose with a 1/2” (1.3 cm) NPT male
connection. A 1/2” (1.3 cm) FM x 3/4” (1.9 cm) PVC slip coupling is provided.
This drain hose may be installed to allow left or right side condensate
drain connection, refer to Figure 20. Cut the hose to allow for proper fit
for left or right exit. If necessary, trim the hose supplied to ensure that it
slopes downwards.
LH DRAIN
FIGURE 22: Condensate Piping
To install the drain hose assembly, remove the 7/8” (2.2 cm) knockout in
the side panel. Remove the conduit nut from the 1/2” (1.3 cm) male fitting. Push the male fitting through the hole and reinstall the nut. The
use of the 3/4” (1.9 cm) PVC coupling is optional.
The condensate water will flow to the drain better if an open tee, or
short length of pipe is installed in the drain line, as shown in Figure 20.
IMPORTANT: The condensate drain from the furnace may be connected in common with the drain from an air conditioning coil if allowed
by local code.
IMPORTANT: Condensate must be disposed of properly. Follow local
plumbing or wastewater codes. The drain line must maintain a 1/4" per
foot (0.635 cm per meter) slope to the drain.
RH DRAIN
20Unitary Products Group
Page 21
292278-UIM-A-0108
CONDENSATE DRAIN
The condensate trap must be filled with water before putting the furnace
into operation. Perform the following procedures only after the condensate trap has been properly piped to a drain connection using the procedure in this instruction.
The recommended procedure is as follows:
1.Disconnect the condensate drain hose from the induced draft
blower discharge.
2.Elevate this hose and fill with water using a funnel.
3.Replace the condensate drain hose and clamps.
IMPORTANT: If this procedure is not followed, the unit may not properly
drain on initial start up.
CONDENSATE DRAIN TERMINATION
DO NOT terminate condensate drain in a chimney, or where the drain
line may freeze. The line must terminate at an inside drain to prevent
freezing of the condensate and possible property damage.
DO NOT trap the drain line at any other location than at the condensate
drain trap supplied with the furnace.
A condensate sump pump MUST be used if required by local codes, or
if no indoor floor drain is available. The condensate sump pump must
be approved for use with acidic condensate.
CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP AND DRAIN FREEZE
PROTECTION
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area
which may drop below freezing. This can cause improper operation or
damage to the equipment. If the furnace is installed in an area that has
the potential of freezing, the drain line and the drain trap must be protected. Use a 3 to 6 watt per foot at 115 vac, 40º F (4.4° C) self-regulating, shielded and waterproof heat tape. Wrap the drain trap and the
drain line with the heat tape and secure with ties. Follow the heat tape
manufacturer's recommendations.
SECTION IX: SAFETY CONTROLS
CONTROL CIRCUIT FUSE
A 3-amp fuse is provided on the control circuit board to pr otect the 24volt transformer from overload caused by control circuit wiring errors.
This is an ATO 3, automotive type fuse and is located on th e control
board.
BLOWER DOOR SAFETY SWITCH
This unit is equipped with an electrical interlock switch mounted in the
blower compartment. This switch interrupts all power at the unit when
the panel covering the blower compartment is removed.
Electrical supply to this unit is dependent upon the panel that covers the
blower compartment being in place and properly positioned.
Main power to the unit must still be interrupted at the main power
disconnect switch before any service or repair work is to be done to
the unit. Do not rely upon the interlock switch as a main power disconnect.
Blower and burner must never be operated without the blower
panel in place.
ROLLOUT SWITCH CONTROLS
These controls are mounted on the burner box assembly. If the temperature in the burner box exceeds its set point, the ignition control and the
gas valve are de-energized. The operation of this control indicates a
malfunction in the combustion air blower, heat exchanger or a blocked
vent pipe connection. Corrective action is required. These are manual
reset controls that must be reset before operation can continue.
PRESSURE CONTROLS
Pressure Sensor - This furnace is equipped with a pressure sensor
mounted on the furnace control board. This sensor monitors combustion airflow through furnace and piping systems. If any of the conditions
listed above are detected by the pressure sensor, the control board will
prevent a hazardous condition from occurring by speeding up the combustion blower motor in order to maintain adequate combustion airflow.
If the combustion blower is already turning at full speed, the furnace
control will then start reducing the input to the furnace in order to maintain proper combustion with the amount of combustion airflow available.
If there is not enough combustion air available to give proper combustion even at the minimum input rate (35%), the control will close the gas
valve and shut off the burners.
Pressure Switch - This furnace is equipped with a pressure switch
mounted on the furnace vestibule panel. This switch monitors the flow
through the combustion air/vent system. The switch will close at the
beginning of each cycle when adequate combustion airflow is established. However, this switch may be open under certain conditions
when the burners are lit. The pressure sensor is the primary flow sensor.
1.Blockage of combustion air piping
2.Blockage of vent piping or vent terminal
3.Failure of combustion air blower motor or blower wheel.
4.Blockage of condensate drain piping.
LIMIT CONTROLS
Limit Switch - This furnace is equipped with a high temperature limit
control mounted to the left side of the furnace vestibule panel. This limit
switch will open and shut off gas to the burners if it detects excessive air
temperature in the furnace, which can be caused by any of the following
conditions:
1.Dirty filter
2.Failure of the circulating blower motor or wheel
3.Too many supply or return registers closed or blocked.
Temperature Sensor - This furnace is also equipped with a tempera-
ture sensor mounted to the right side of the vestibule panel, near the
top of the furnace. This sensor monitors the temperature of the air being
supplied to the home. If the sensor detects air temperature higher than
its setting, the furnace control will first speed up the circulating blower
motor in order to try to increase the amount of airflow being delivered,
thereby reducing the air temperature. If the blower motor is already
turning at full speed, the control will then start reducing the input to the
furnace to try to reduce the air temperature. If the supply air temperature is too high even at the minimum input rate (35%), the control will
close the gas valve and shut off the furnace.
SECTION X: START-UP AND
ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: In order that this furnace will operate properly, it is required that
all of the startup procedures in this section be followed:
Perform the following procedures only after the condensate trap
has been properly piped to a drain connection using the procedure
in this instruction.
Unitary Products Group21
Page 22
292278-UIM-A-0108
TOOLS AND INFORMATION THAT WILL BE
REQUIRED IN ORDER TO PROPERL Y PERFORM THE
FURNACE STARTUP PROCEDURE.
1.Call the local gas supplier to obtain heating value of the natural
gas. If you cannot obtain the heating valve of the gas from the gas
supplier, you may use a default value of 1030 BTU/SCF (38.8 MJ /
m³).
2.You will need a thermometer or portable digital thermometer to
read the supply and return air temperatures.
3.You will need a U-tube manometer or digital equipment that has
the ability to read pressures between 0 – 15” in.w.c (0 - 3.73 kPa)
in order to measure the gas line and the manifold pressures.
4.You will need a 3/16” Allen wrench for the pressure port plugs in
the gas valve.
5.You will need 2 pieces of 1/8” (0.3 cm) ID flexible tubing that is 12”
(30 cm) in length, 2 – pieces of 1/8” (0.3 cm) tubing that are 4”
(10.0 cm) in length, a 1/8” (0.3 cm) tee and a 1/8” (0.3 cm) adapter
to connect the U-tube manometer or the digital pressure measuring equipment to the gas valve pressure ports.
There is an accessory kit (1PK0601) available from Source 1, which
has the following items:
• 1 - Dwyer – Manometer
These items are required in order to properly perform the required startup procedure.
GAS PIPING LEAK CHECK
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious
injury, death or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks
to check all connections. A fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
IMPORTANT: Burner ignition may not be satisfactory on first startup
due to residual air in the gas line or until gas manifold pressure is
adjusted. The ignition control will make three attempts to light before
locking out.
It is recommended that when the gas supply is first connected to the
furnace, the ground union be loosened until the odor of gas is detected.
When gas is detected, immediately tighten the union and check for gas
leaks. Allow five minutes for any gas to dissipate before continuing with
the startup procedure. Be sure that proper ventilation is available to
dilute and carry away any vented gas.
With furnace in operation, check all of the pipe joints, gas valve connections and manual valve connections for leakage using an approved gas
detector, a non-corrosive leak detection fluid or other leak detection
methods. Take appropriate action to stop any leak. If a leak persists,
replace the faulty component.
The furnace and its equipment shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing the equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply system.
SETUP TEST MODE
During normal operation, the furnace input rate can vary between 35%
and 100% of full nameplate input, making it difficult to check for proper
operation. To help with the furnace startup process, the control has a
TEST MODE available that allows the furnace input rate to stay at a
constant input rate. To access this TEST MODE perform the following
sequence:
1.With power to the board on and with no thermostat calls (no call for
heating, cooling or continuous fan), push and hold the TEST button on the board for one second. The LED on the board will glow
red.
2.Release the TEST button. The LED on the board will flash a rapid
green signal, indicating that TEST MODE is activated.
3.Turn the thermostat to call for heat (R & W signal).
4.The furnace will light and operate at high (100%) firing rate. The
furnace firing rate should be checked at this level to confirm that
the furnace is not overfired or underfired.
5.To run the furnace at minimum rate (35%), press the ERROR button once. The LED will flash one green flash to confirm.
6.To run the furnace at a middle rate (70%), press the ERROR button twice within a five-second period. The LED will flash green two
times to confirm.
7.To again operate the furnace at maximum (100%) r ate, press the
ERROR button three times within a five-second period. The LED
will flash green three times to confirm.
8.If the thermostat call for heat is removed, the LED will flash a rapid
green signal, indicating that the furnace is still in TEST MODE.
9.When startup tests are completed, turning off power to the board
will take the furnace out of TEST MODE and will restore normal
operation. The furnace will automatically return to normal operation after 150 minutes if power is not cycled.
CALCULATING THE FURNACE INPUT

ADJUSTMENT OF MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE
Follow the appropriate section in the instructions below. Refer to Figure
23 for a drawing of the locations of the pressure ports on the gas valve.
T urn gas off at the ball valve or gas cock on gas supply line
before the gas valve.
1.The manifold pressure must be taken at the port marked OUT
PRESS TAP.
2.The inlet gas line pressure must be taken at the port marked IN
PRESS TAP.
3.Using a 3/16” allen wrench, remove the plugs from the inlet and
outlet pressure ports. Connect a 1/8” UPT barbed hose fitting to
each pressure port.
Read the inlet gas pressure using the method below.
A.Disconnect the pressure reference hose from the burner box.
Using a tee fitting and a short piece of hose, connect the negative side of the manometer to the burner box as described
below.
B.Remove one end the 5/16” (7.94 mm) ID flexible tubing over
the pressure port on the burner box.
C.Insert the end of the 5/16” (7.94 mm) tubing, that has the 1/8”
(3.175 mm) adapter at the end of the tube, in to the 1/8”
(3.175 mm) tee.
D.Connect the 1/8” (3.175 mm) tee to the burner box adapter
and to the negative side of a U-tube manometer or digital
pressure measuring equipment with 2 – 1/8” (3.175 mm)
tubes.
E.Use the 5/16” (7.94 mm x 1/8” (3.175 mm) reducing coupling
and a 4” (101.6 mm) piece of 1/8” (3.175 mm) tubing to connect the positive side of the manometer to the gas valve pressure reference port. Refer to Figure 24 for connection details.
IMPORTANT: The cap for the pressure regulator must be removed
entirely to gain access to the adjustment screw. Loosening or tightening
the cap does not adjust the flow of gas.
1.Refer to Figure 23 for location of pressure regulator adjustment
cap and adjustment screws on main gas valve.
2.Turn gas and electrical supplies on and follow the operating
instructions to place the unit back in operation.
3.Adjust manifold pressure by adjusting gas valve regulator screw
for the appropriate gas per the following:

IMPORTANT: If gas valve regulator is turned in (clockwise), manifold
pressure is increased. If screw is turned out (counterclockwise), manifold pressure will decrease.
4.After the manifold pressure has been adjusted, re-calculate the
furnace input to make sure you have not exceeded the specified
input on the rating plate. Refer to “CALCULATING THE FURNACE
INPUT (NATURAL GAS)”.
5.Once the correct BTU (kW) input has been established, turn the
gas valve to OFF and turn the electrical supply switch to OFF; then
remove the flexible tubing and fittings from the gas valve pressure
tap and the pressure reference hose from the burner box and
replace the pressure tap plugs. Replace the burner box front cover
(if it was removed) and place the pressure reference hose back on
the gas valve.
6.Turn the electrical and gas supplies back on, and with the burners
in operation, check for gas leakage around the gas valve pressure
port for leakage using an approved gas detector, a non-corrosive
leak detection fluid, or other leak detection methods.
The manifold pressure must be checked with the screw-off cap for
the gas valve pressure regulator in place. If not, the manifold pressure setting could result in an over-fire condition. A high manifold
pressure will cause an over-fire condition, which could cause premature heat exchanger failure. If the manifold pressure is too low,
sooting and eventual clogging of the heat exchanger could occur.
Be sure that gas valve regulator cap is in place and burner box to
gas valve pressure reference hose is connected.

ADJUSTMENT OF TEMPERATURE RISE
The temperature rise, or temperature difference between the return
air and the supply (heated) air from the furnace, must be within the
range shown on the furnace rating plate and within the application
limitations shown in Table 5 “ELECTRICAL AND PERFORMANCE
DATA”.
The supply air temperature cannot exceed the “Maximum SupplyAir Temperature” specified in these instructions and on the furnace rating plate. Under NO circumstances can the furnace be
allowed to operate above the Maximum Supply Air Temperature.
Operating the furnace above the Maximum Supply Air Temperature
will cause premature heat exchanger failure, high levels of Carbon
Monoxide, a fire hazard, personal injury, property damage, and/or
death.
The air temperature rise, or difference between the return air temperature and the heated supply air temperature from the furnace, must be
within the air temperature rise range shown on the furnace rating plate
and in Table 5.
After about twenty minutes of operation, determine the furnace temperture rise. Take temperature readings of both the return air and the
heated air in the ducts about six feet away from the furnace, where they
will not be affected by radiant heat. Increase or decrease the temperature rise by changing the ATR jumper on the furnace control board. The
jumper is factory-set to deliver an air temperature rise near the midpoint
of the nameplate temperature rise range. If more air is desired (lower
temperature rise), move the jumper to the -10 position. If less air is
desired (higher temperature rise), move the jumper to the +10 position.
ADJUSTMENT OF FAN CONTROL SETTINGS
Cooling - The airflow delivered by the furnace during cooling operation
can be adjusted to match the cooling capacity of the A/C condensing
unit. This is done by moving the COOL and ADJ jumper on the control
board to give the desired airflow.
The COOL jumper has four positions, which will deliver sufficient airflow
in cooling mode for the cooling capacities shown in the Table 15. The
CFM delivery on each jumper position is shown in Table 16.
the ADJ jumper has three positions which can be used to make further
adjustments to the cooling blower airflow. See Table 16 for further information.
TABLE 15:
Continuous Fan Operation - The airflow delivered by the furnace dur-
ing continuous fan operation can be adjusted as desired. This is done
my moving the RECIRC jumper on the control board to give the desired
airflow.
The jumper has three positions. The "A" position delivers maximum airflow, 100% of the blower capacity. Position "B" delivers approximately
70% of the blower capacity. And Position "C" delivers minimum airflow,
approximately 40% of the blower capacity.
The set of jumper pins on the control board labeled "DELAY" are used
to set the delay profiles for the furnace. These can be chosen so as to
maximize the comfort and sound levels for various regions of the country.
Tap A is the default profile. It provides a 30-second ramp-up from zero
airflow to full capacity and a 30-second ramp-down from full capacity
back to zero airflow. Whenever there is a change in airflow mode, such
as from low heat to high heat, the motor will take 30 seconds to ramp
from one speed to the other.
Tap B is the humid profile. This profile is best-suited for installations
where the humidity is frequently very high during cooling season, such
as in the southern part of the country. On a call for cooling, the blower
will ramp up to 50% of full capacity and will stay there for two minutes,
then will ramp up to 82% of full capacity and will stay there for five minutes, and then will ramp up to full capacity, where it will stay until the
wall thermostat is satisfied. In every case, it will take the motor 30 seconds to ramp from one speed to another.
Tap C is the dry profile. This profile is best suited to parts of the country
where excessive humidity is not generally a problem, where the summer months are usually dry. On a call for cooling the motor will ramp up
to full capacity and will stay there until the thermostat is satisfied. At the
end of the cooling cycle, the blower will ramp down to 50% of full capacity where it will stay for 60 seconds. Then it will ramp down to zero. In
every case, it will take the motor 30 seconds to ramp from one speed to
another.
Tap D is the normal profile, best suited for most of the country, where
neither excessive humidity nor extremely dry conditions are the norm.
On a call for cooling, the motor will ramp up to 63% of full capacity and
will stay there for 90 seconds, then will ramp up to full capacity. At the
end of the cooling cycle, the motor will ramp down to 63% of full capacity and will stay there for 30 seconds, then will ramp down to zero. In
every case, it will take the motor 30 seconds to ramp from one speed to
another.
Humidistat
When a humidistat is installed in the system, the “Humidistat connected?” jumper on the control board should be moved to the “YES”
position. The cooling airflow will then be reduced by 15% whenever the
humidistat indicates high humidity.
SECTION XI: NORMAL OPERATION AND
DIAGNOSTICS
NORMAL OPERATION SEQUENCE
The furnace control calculates the optimum firing rate each time the
wall thermostat R and W contacts close or open (at the beginning and
at the end of each call for heat) based on information from the thermostat and past demand. UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS, THE
WALL THERMOSTAT DOES NOT SIMPLY TURN THE FURNACE ON
AND OFF. THE FURNACE CONTROL CALCULATES THE DEMAND
AND MAY CONTINUE TO FIRE THE FURNACE DURING PORTIONS
OF THE THERMOSTAT "OFF" CYCLE.
When the wall thermostat R and W contacts close, indicating a call for
heat, the following sequence occurs:
1.The inducer is energized and ramps up its speed until airflow is
proven by the pressure switch and by the pressure sensor on the
control board.
2.The hot surface ignitor is energized.
3.After a 17-20 second igniter heatup, the gas valve opens and the
burners light.
4.When the control senses that flame is present, the circulating
blower starts at low speed.
5.The furnace fires at 70% of full rate for 30-45 seconds, then drops
to the minimum (35%) firing rate.
6.The firing rate is automatically adjusted to meet demand, increasing gradually to maximum (100%) firing rate if the thermostat is not
satisfied within a defined time.
7.When the thermostat R and W contacts open (thermostat is satisfied) the furnace control recalculates the demand and a new firing
rate.
a.If demand exceeds the minimum firing rate, the burners will
continue to fire at a recalculated reduced firing rate, decreasing if the thermostat remains off for a defined time.
b.If demand does not exceed the minimum firing rate, the burn-
ers will shut off immediately.
8.After the burners shut off, the circulating blower will continue to run
until the temperature sensor detects that the supply air temperature has dropped to the desired level, which should take from 30 to
90 seconds.
FURNACE CONTROL DIAGNOSTICS
This furnace has built-in self-diagnostic capability. If a system problem
occurs, a flashing LED shows a fault code. The LED can flash red,
green or amber to indicate various conditions. The LED is located on
the furnace control board and can be seen through the clear view port
in the lower door of the furnace. To indicate an error condition, the LED
will turn on for 1/4 second and off for 1/4 second. The pattern will be
repeated the number of times equal to the flash code. For instance, a
"six flash code" will be indicated by the LED turning on and off six times.
There will be a two second off period between each set of flashes. The
flash codes and an indication of their likely causes are listed below:
STEADY OFF - No 24V power to board. Check the 24 volt control circuit fuse on the board. Check the circuit breaker or fuse on the 115 volt
supply power to the furnace. Check that the 24 volt transformer.
One Green Flash - Normal Operation with no call for heat.
Two Green Flashes - Indicator for "No error codes in memory". See
Diagnostic Fault Code Storage and Retrieval section below.
Three Green Flashes - Indicator for "Error codes cleared from mem-
ory". See Diagnostic Fault Code Storage and Retrieval section below.
Rapid Green Flash - Control is in "Factory Speedup" mode. This mode
is used only during factory run-testing of the furnace. To stop this mode,
cycle power to the furnace off and then back on.
One Amber Flash - Normal operation with call for cooling.
Two Amber Flashes - Normal operation with call for heat.
Three Amber Flashes - Normal operation, burner is on at end of heat-
ing cycle after wall thermostat has been satisfied.
Four Amber Flashes - Heating capacity is reduced due to restriction in
the circulating air system. Check for dirty filter or closed registers.
Five Amber Flashes - Heating capacity is reduced due to restriction in
the combustion air or vent system. Check for blocked vent/air pipe or
clogged condensate drain. Above 4,000 feet altitude, this may also indicate automatic, normal derating for altitude. See page 7 for additional
high altitude information.
Rapid Amber Flash - Low flame sense current. Check for dirty or mislocated flame sensor rod.
One Red Flash - Flame is present with no power being supplied to gas
valve. This can be caused by a gas valve that is slow to close or that
leaks gas through to the burners.
Two Red Flashes - Stuck closed pressure switch. The control confirms
that the pressure switch contacts are open at the beginning of each
cycle. This could be caused by a faulty pressure switch or by mis-wiring
of the pressure switch.
Three Red Flashes - Stuck open pressure switch. This indicates that
the pressure switch is open when it should be closed. This could be
caused by a faulty combustion air blower, blocked vent pipe, blocked air
intake pipe, blocked condensate drain, faulty pressure switch hose or a
faulty pressure switch.
26Unitary Products Group
Page 27
292278-UIM-A-0108
Four Red Flashes - High limit switch open or 24 volt fuse is open. This
may be caused by a dirty air filter, improperly sized duct system, faulty
blower motor, restricted circulating airflow or an open fuse on the control board.
Five Red Flashes - Rollout switch or auxiliary limit switch open. Check
the rollout switch on the side of the burner box. It is a manual reset
switch. To reset, push the small button in the center of the switch. If it
cannot be reset or if the switch trips again, contact a qualified serviceman. Check the limit switch mounted in the combustion air blower housing.
Six Red Flashes - Current failure on modulating gas valve.
Seven Red Flashes - Lockout due to no ignition. The control will try
three times for ignition. If flame cannot be established in three tries, the
control will lockout for one hour and then will try again to light. Check
gas supply, ignitor, gas valve, flame sensor.
Eight Red Flashes - Lockout due to too many flame recycles. This
flash code occurs if flame is lost five times during a single heating cycle.
This could be caused by a faulty gas valve, low gas pressure, or dirty
flame sensor. The control will lock out for one hour and then will try
again.
Nine Red Flashes - Reversed line polarity or improper grounding.
Check polarity of the incoming power to the furnace. Check the grounding of the furnace, including the transformer ground and the L1 and
neutral connections.
Ten Red Flashes - Gas valve circuit shorted. Check gas valve wiring. If
correct, replace gas valve.
Eleven Red Flashes - Main blower failure - This flash code occurs
when the main limit opens and fails to reclose within five minutes, indicating that the blower motor or blower wheel has failed.
Twelve Red Flashes - ID plug is not present or not connected properly,
check for loose plug or loose wires in plug.
Steady On Red - Control fault has been detected or there is 24 volts
present without 115 volts. Check that there is 24 volts and 115 volts
being supplied to the board. If so, then the board should be replaced.
DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODE STORAGE AND
RETRIEVAL
The control in this furnace is equipped with memory that will store up to
five error codes to allow a service technician to diagnose problems
more easily. This memory will be retained even if power to the furnace
is lost. Only a qualified service technician should use this feature.
The control stores up to five separate error codes. If more than five
error codes have occurred since the last reset, only the five most recent
will be retained. The furnace control board has a button, labeled "LASTERROR" that is used to retrieve error codes. This function will only
work if there are no active thermostat signals. So any call for heating,
cooling or continuous fan must be terminated before attempting to
retrieve error codes.
T o retrieve the error codes, push the LAST ERROR button. The LED on
the control will then flash the error codes that are in memory, starting
with the most recent. There will be a two-second pause between each
flash code. After the error codes have all been displayed, the LED will
resume the normal slow green flash after a five second pause. To
repeat the series of error codes, push the button again.
If there are no error codes in memory, the LED will flash two green
flashes. T o clear the memory , push the LAST ERROR button and hold it
for more than five seconds. The LED will flash three green flashes
when the memory has been cleared, then will resume the normal slow
green flash after a five-second pause.
All CFM’s are shown at 0.5” w.c. external static pressure.These units have variable speed motors that automatically adjust to provide constant CFM from 0.0” to 0.6” w.c. static
pressure. From 0.6” to 1.0” static pressure, CFM is reduced by 2% per 0.1” increase in static. Operation on duct systems with greater than 1.0” w.c. external static pressure is not
recommended.
NOTE: At some settings, LOW COOL airflow may be lower that what is required to operate an airflow switch on certain models of electronic air cleaners. Consult the instructions
for the electronic air cleaner for further details.

Filter Performance - Pressure Drop Inches W.C. and (kPa)
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 w.c. (50 Pa), 0.60 w.c. (150 Pa), 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 w.c. (144 Pa), 0.75 w.c. (187 Pa), 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 following
example.
Example: For a 120,000 BTUH (38.06 kW) 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:
Obtain the airflow values at 0.50 w.c. (125 Pa) & 0.60 w.c. (150 Pa)

Subtract the airflow @ 0.50 w.c. (125 Pa) from the airflow @ 0.60 w.c.

2175 - 2285 = -110 CFM (3.11 m
/min)
Subtract the total system static from 0.50 w.c. (125 Pa) and divide this
difference by the difference in ESP values in the table, 0.60 w.c.
(150 Pa) - 0.50 w.c. (125 Pa), to obtain a percentage.
(0.58 - 0.50) / (0.60 - 0.50) = 0.8
Multiply percentage by airflow difference to obtain airflow reduction.
(0.8) X (-110) = -88
Subtract airflow reduction value to airflow @ 0.50 w.c. (125 Pa) to
