Downflow Furnace Installation
NOTE: These Installation procedures are suggested for
typical furnace installations. Since all installations are
different from each other, the sequence of instructions
may differ from the actual installation.
WARNING:
The furnace must not be installed directly on
carpeting,tile,or any combustible material other
than wood flooring.
The *RL series gas furnace is certified for use on wood
flooring or supports, but must be installed on a special
duct connector
(Figure
12). This factory supplied accessory
must be installed in the floor cavity and attached to the
supply air duct before the downflow furnace is installed.
The depth of the floor cavity (shown as "X" in
will determine the duct connector size to use. Several
connector sizes are listed in

Locating & Cutting Floor Openings
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Cut-outs in the floor, must be carefully located to
avoid misalignment of the furnace. To locate standard
ducts, see
Figure 8 (page
1. Measure from the rear wall or alcove and mark the
centerline of the cut-out on the floor. Using the centerline
as a starting point, draw the rest of the duct cut-out to
the dimensions shown in
2. Cut out the floor opening to within 1" of the actual cutout

drawn.
3. Measure from the top of the floor down to the top of the
supply air duct to obtain the depth of the floor cavity.
NOTE: The depth of the floor cavity shown as "X" in
Table 3
will determine the correct duct connector.
4. Determine which duct connector to use from the table.
5. Measure and drill gas hole and cut out for cooling coil
(if applicable).
Installing Finger Tabbed Duct Connectors
The standard duct connector is designed for use on ducts
12" in width. However ducts narrower than 12" may not
allow sufficient clearances for this type of installation.
See Narrow Duct Attachment for an alternate installation
method.
1. Center the duct connector in the floor opening with
bottom tabs resting on top of the supply air duct.
2. Mark the cut-out area on the supply air duct by tracing
around the connector tabs
the duct connector.
3. Remove the duct connector and cut out the marked
area of the supply air duct 1/16" larger the actual cutout
drawn.
