* Free area shall be equal to or greater than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors in the confined space. Opening area must be increased if other gas appliances in
the space require combustion air.
c. If furnace is installed to obtain a return-air directly from
hallway or space adjacent to furnace, all air for combus-
tion must come from outdoors.
2. Air from outside the structure requires 1 of the following
methods:
a. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through 2
vertical ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at
least 1 sq in. of free area per 4000 Btuh of total input for
all equipment within the confined space. (See Fig. 7 and
Table 2.)
b. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through 2
horizontal ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at
least 1 sq in. of free area per 2000 Btuh of total input for
all equipment within the confined space. (See Fig. 7 and
Table 2.)
c. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through a single
opening or duct (horizontal or vertical) commencing
within 12 in. of the top of the confined space, opening
and duct MUST have at least 1 sq in. of free area per
3000 Btuh of the total input for all equipment within the
confined space and not less than the sum of the areas of
all vent connectors in the confined space. (See Fig. 7 and
Table 2.) Equipment clearances to the structure shall be
at least 1 in. from the sides and back and 6 in. from the
front of the appliances.
When ducts are used, they must be of the same cross-sectional area
as the free area of the openings to which they connect. The
minimum dimension of ducts must not be less than 3 in. (See Fig.
4.)
III. AIR DUCTS
A. General Requirements
The duct system should be designed and sized according to
accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal and
Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) or
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) or consult factory The Air Systems Design
Guidelines reference tables available from your local distributor.
The duct system should be sized to handle the required system
design airflow CFM at the design external static pressure.
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air to
areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must
also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and
terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork used.
Seal supply- and return-duct connections to furnace with code
approved tape or duct sealer.
Flexible connections should be used between ductwork and
furnace to prevent transmission of vibration. Ductwork passing
through unconditioned space should be insulated to enhance
system performance. When air conditioning is used, a vapor
barrier is recommended.

Maintain a 1-in. clearance from combustible materials to supply air
ductwork for a distance of 36 in. horizontally from the furnace. See
NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
B. Ductwork Acoustical Treatment
Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 ft
of main duct to the first branch take-off may require internal
acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous ductwork may be used
if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of
SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both
acoustical lining and fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA
90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
C. Supply Air Connections
UPFLOW FURNACES
Connect supply-air duct to 3/4-in. flange on furnace supply-air
opening outlet. The supply-air duct attachment must ONLY be
connected to furnace supply/outlet flanges or air conditioning coil
casing (when used). DO NOT cut main furnace casing to attach
supply side air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All accesso-
ries MUST be connected external to furnace main casing.
HORIZONTAL FURNACES
Connect supply-air duct to supply air opening on furnace. The
supply-air duct attachment must ONLY be connected to furnace
supply/outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used). DO NOT
cut main furnace casing to attach supply side air duct, humidifier,
or other accessories. All accessories MUST be connected external
to furnace main casing.
D. Return Air Connections
CAUTION: For airflow requirements above 1800 CFM,
see Air Delivery table in Product Data literature for
specific use of single side inlets. The use of both side
inlets, a combination of 1 side and the bottom, or the
bottom only will ensure adequate return air openings for
airflow requirements above 1800 CFM.
UPFLOW FURNACES
The return-air duct must be connected to bottom, sides (left or
right), or a combination of bottom and sides(s) of main furnace
casing as shown in Fig. 1. Bypass humidifier may be attached into
unused side return air portion of the furnace casing. DO NOT
connect any portion of return-air duct to back of furnace casing.
HORIZONTAL FURNACES
The return-air duct must be connected to return-air opening
provided as shown in Fig. 1. DO NOT cut into casing sides or back
to attach any portion of return-air duct. Bypass humidifier connec-
tions should be made at ductwork or coil casing sides exterior to
furnace.
