Side Return Air
(with transition and filter)
A96UHMV applications which include side return air and a
condensate trap installed on the same side of the cabinet
(trap can be installed remotely within 5 feet) require either a
return air base or field fabricated transition to accommodate
an optional IAQ accessory taller than 14.5". See Figure 6.

NOTE: Optional side return air filter kits are not for use with return air base.
1 Both the unit return air opening and the base return air opening must be covered by a single plenum or IAQ cabinet.
Minimum unit side return air opening dimensions for units requiring 1800 cfm or more of air (W x H): 23 x 11 in. (584 x 279 mm).
The opening can be cut as needed to accommodate plenum or IAQ cabinet while maintaining dimensions shown.
Side return air openings must be cut in the field. There are cutting guides stenciled on the cabinet for the side return air opening.
The size of the opening must not extend beyond the markings on the furnace cabinet.
² To minimize pressure drop, the largest opening height possible (up to 14 inches) is preferred.
