MINOR PROPERTY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor
property damage.
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire
furnace and condensate trap when a condensing
furnace is used in an attic application or over a finished
ceiling.
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or
crawlspace on either the left−hand (LH) or right−hand (RH)
side. The furnace can be hung from floor joists, rafters or
trusses or installed on a non−combustible platform, blocks,
bricks or pad.
Suspended Furnace Support
The furnace may be supported under the entire length of the
furnace with threaded rod and angle iron. (See Figure 25)
Secure angle iron to bottom of furnace as shown.
Platform Furnace Support
Construct working platform at location where all required
furnace clearances are met. (See Table 1 and Figure 26) For
furnaces with 1−in. (25 mm) clearance requirement on side, set
furnace on non−combustible blocks, bricks or angle iron. For
crawlspace installations, if the furnace is not suspended from
the floor joists, the ground underneath furnace must be level
and the furnace set on blocks or bricks.
