construction.
12. Maintain a 1−in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible
materials to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36−in.

13. These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on
carpeting, combustible tile, or any other combustible
material other than wood flooring. In downflow
installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood
flooring. Special base is not required when this furnace
is installed on manufacturer's Coil Assembly or when
Coil Box is used. See Table 1 for clearance to
combustible construction information.

Introduction

The 4−way multipoise Category IV condensing furnace is CSA
design−certified as a direct vent (2−pipe) or non−direct vent
(1−pipe) furnace. (See
factory−shipped for use with natural gas. The furnace can be
converted in the field for use with propane gas when a
factory−supplied conversion kit is used. Refer to the furnace
rating plate for conversion kit information.
These furnaces are not approved for installation in recreational
vehicles or outdoors. Single-stage furnaces (40k through
120k) are approved for
housing/mobile homes with manufacturer approved accessory.
The conversion kit is required for use with both natural and
propane gas. The furnace must also be installed on a
factory−supplied accessory
evaporator coil casing.
This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return−air
temperature of 60°F (15°C) db or intermittent operation down to
55°F (15°C) db such as when used with a night setback
thermostat. Return−air temperature must not exceed 80°F
(27°C) db. Failure to follow these return−air temperature limits
may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls
(See Figure 1)
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the
design heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs
because of furnace model size capacity increments. Heating
load estimates can be made using approved methods available
from Air Conditioning Contractors of America (Manual J);
American Society of
Air−Conditioning Engineers; or other approved engineering
methods. Excessive oversizing of the furnace could cause the
furnace and/or vent to fail prematurely.
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable
instruction literature.
