WARNING
FIRE,
EXPLOSION,
AND
CARBON
MONOXIDE
POISONING HAZARD
Failure
to follow
this warning
could
result
in personal
injury, death, or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with
control
compartment
facing
downward.
Safety
control
operation
will
be
adversely
affected.
Never
connect
return-air ducts to the back of the furnace.
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 each end with threaded rod,
angle iron or metal plumber's strap as shown. (See Fig. 15 and
16.)
Secure
angle
iron
to
bottom
of
furnace
as
shown.
Heavy-gauge sheet metal straps (plumber's straps) may be used
to suspend
the furnace
from each bottom
corner.
To prevent
screws from pulling out, use 2 #8 x in. screws into the side and 2
#8 x in. screws in the bottom of the furnace casing for each strap.
(See Fig.
15 and 16.)
If the screws are attached to ONLY the furnace sides and not the
bottom, the straps must be vertical against the furnace sides and
not pull away from the furnace sides, so that the strap attachment
screws are not in tension (are loaded in shear) for reliable support.
Platform Furnace Support
Construct working platform at location where all required furnace
clearances are met. (See Fig. 2 and 17.) 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.
