3. In spaces that use the Indoor Combustion Air Method,
infiltration should be adequate to provide air for
combustion, permanent ventilation and dilution of flue
gases. However, in buildings with unusually tight
construction, additional air MUST be provided using the
methods described in the Outdoor Combustion Air
Method section.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction with:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outdoors have a
continuous, sealed vapor barrier. Openings are gasketed
or sealed and

INSTALLATION

UPFLOW INSTALLATION

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 two 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.
Side Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return- -air opening. This panel MUST be in place when
only side return air is used.
NOTE: Side return- -air openings can be used in UPFLOW and
most HORIZONTAL configurations. Do not use side return- -air
openings in DOWNFLOW configuration.
Leveling Legs (If Desired)
In upflow position with side return inlet(s), leveling legs may be
used. (See Fig. 10.) Install field- -supplied, 5/16 x 1- -1/2 in. (8 x
38 mm) (max) corrosion- -resistant machine bolts, washers and
nuts.
NOTE: Bottom closure must be used when leveling legs are
used. It may be necessary to remove and reinstall bottom closure
panel to install leveling legs. To remove bottom closure panel, see
Item 1. in Bottom Return Air Inlet section.
To install leveling legs:
1. Position furnace on its back. Locate and drill a hole in
each bottom corner of furnace. (See Fig. 10.)
2. For each leg, install nut on bolt and then install bolt and
nut in hole. (Install flat washer if desired.)
3. Install another nut on other side of furnace base. (Install
flat washer if desired.)
