    Furnace must be installed as a two pipe system Heating Unit Installed Parallel to Air Handler Unit and one hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be provided for combustion air requirements during construction. A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is prohibited.

    When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating in IMPORTANT a room with negative pressure, the flue products can be pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This The unit will not vent properly with the flue transition reverse flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete pointed down in the 6 o’clock position.
