openings must be within 12 inches of the top; the other opening
must be within 12 inches of the bottom of the confined space. In a
typical construction, the clearance between the door and door frame
is usually adequate to satisfy this ventilation requirement.

If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8" threaded
rod and 2”x2”x1/8” angle iron as shown below. The length of rod
will depend on the application and the clearances necessary.

NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system
serving other appliances, the venting system may be too large to
properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the American
National Standard/National Standard of Canada for Gas-Fired Cen-
tral Furnaces ANSI Z21.47·CSA-2.3 Section 1.23.1.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the
venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances con-
nected to the venting system are not in operation:
a. Seal any unused openings in the venting system;
b. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as
required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CSA
B149.1-05 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine that
there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other defi-
ciencies which could cause an unsafe condition;
c. In so far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the
venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on
clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting sys-
tem. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom
exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers;
d. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected
in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continu-
ously;
e. Test for draft hood equipped spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match
or candle;
f. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the
venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, re-
turn doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other
gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use;
g. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the
common venting system must be corrected.
