1. Determine application being installed from Table 3.
2. Construct hole in floor per Table 3 and Fig. 11.
3. Construct plenum to dimensions specified in Table 3 and Fig.
11.
4. If downflow subbase, KGASB is used, install as shown in Fig.
12. If Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5 or Coil Box Part
No. KCAKC is used, install as shown in Fig. 13.
NOTE: It is recommended that the perforated supply-air duct
flanges be completely folded over or removed from furnace when
installing the furnace on a factory-supplied cased coil or coil box.
To remove the supply-air duct flange, use wide duct pliers or hand
seamers to bend flange back and forth until it breaks off. Be careful
of sharp edges. (See Fig. 14.)

BOTTOM RETURN AIR INLET

These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return-air opening. Remove and discard this panel when
bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel,
perform the following:
1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove 2 screws holding bottom filler
panel. (See Fig. 9.)
2. Rotate bottom filler panel downward to release holding tabs.
3. Remove bottom closure panel.
4. Reinstall bottom filler panel and screws.
Step 3—Horizontal Installation
→
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with
control compartment facing downward. Safety control opera-
tion will be adversely affected. Never connect return-air ducts
to the back of the furnace. Failure to follow this warning
could result in fire, personal injury, or death.
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawl space
on either the left-hand (LH) or right-hand (RH) side. The furnace
can be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or installed on a
platform, non-combustible blocks, bricks or pad.

SUSPENDED UNIT SUPPORT

The furnace may be supported under each end with threaded rod,
angle iron or metal plumber's strap as shown. (See Fig. 15 and 16.)
Secure angle iron to bottom of furnace as shown. Heavy-gauge
sheet metal straps (plumber's straps) may be used to suspend the
unit from each bottom corner. To prevent screws from pulling out,
use 2 # 8 x ¾-in. screw into the side and 2 # 8 x ¾-in. screw in the
bottom of the furnace casing for each strap. (See Fig. 15 and 16.)

PLATFORM UNIT SUPPORT

Construct working platform at location where all required furnace
clearances are met. (See Fig. 2 and 17.) For furnaces with 1-in.
