2. Upflow and Counterflow units .
Loosen the worm gear hose clamps on the rubber el-
bow and detach it from both the induced draft blower
and the vent/flue pipe.
3. Upflow and Counterflow units .
Remove the vent/flue pipe from the furnace.
4. Cut the vent/ flue pipe at the elbow nearest the coupling
end of the pipe (See " Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts" figure). The
section of pipe attached to the coupling will reach
through the side panel to the induced draft blower. Dis-
card unused pipe and elbows.
Counterflow units.
Cut the vent/flue pipe 3.718 inches from the blower deck
coupling (See "Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts" figure). Save vent/
flue pipe attached to blower deck coupling for use in
the alternate location. Discard remaining pipe and el-
bows.

5. Remove plastic plug from alternate vent/flue location.
Relocate and install plug in standard vent/flue location
(top cover).
Counterflow units.
Remove plastic plug from alternate vent/flue location.
Relocate and install plug in standard vent/flue location
(basepan). Plug remaining hole in blower deck with plas-
tic plug included in the drain kit bag.
6. Upflow and Counterflow units .
Insert cut section of vent/flue pipe and coupling into al-
ternate vent/flue location. Using a rubber coupling and
worm gear hose clamps from the drain kit bag, attach
the vent/flue pipe and coupling to the induced draft
blower. Secure the coupling to the cabinet using the
screws removed in step 1 or with field-supplied 3/8" #8
self drilling screws.

WARNING
The rubber elbow is not designed to support a load.
When the rubber elbow is mounted externally to the
furnace cabinet, extreme care must be taken to ad-
equately support field-supplied vent/flue piping. As
damage can result in leaks causing bodily injury or
death due to exposure to flue gases, including carbon
monoxide.
7. Upflow and Counterflow units .
For upright installations, externally mount the rubber
elbow to the vent/flue coupling using a worm gear hose
clamp. Secure field supplied vent/flue piping to the rub-
ber elbow using a worm gear hose clamp. Note: Use of
the alternate vent/flue location for upright installations,
requires the drain trap be installed on the same side of
the unit as the flue pipe.
8. Upflow and Counterflow units .
For horizontal installations , externally secure the field-
supplied vent/flue pipe directly to the vent/flue coupling
using a PVC or ABS coupling or elbow.
