The alternate combustion air intake location is the large hole not in
line with the induced draft blower outlet. To use the alternate com-
bustion air intake location, refer to the following steps, and the "Al-
ternate Combustion Air Intake Location" figure.
NOTE: Counterflow unit instructions follow the upflow instructions.
1. Remove and save the four screws securing the combustion
air intake coupling to the furnace's top panel (upflow).
Counterflow units.
Remove and save the four screws securing the combustion
air intake coupling to the basepan. Remove an additional
three screws securing the furnace's internal combustion air
intake pipe to the blower deck.
2. Remove the combustion air intake coupling and gasket from
the top panel.
Counterflow units.
Remove the combustion air intake pipe from the furnace and
cut the pipe at the basepan coupling. Save the basepan
coupling and gasket from the blower deck coupling for use in
the alternate location. Discard the remaining pipe.
3. Remove plastic plug from alternate combustion air intake
location. Relocate and install plug in standard air intake
location (top cover).

Remove plastic plug from alternate combustion air intake
location. Relocate and install plug in standard air intake
location (basepan). Plug the remaining hole in the blower

deck with the plastic plug included in the drain kit bag.
4. Upflow and Counterflow units.
With the gasket facing the cabinet side panel, and the flange's
flat spot facing forward, secure the combustion air intake
coupling to the cabinet using the screws removed in step 1 or
2
with field-supplied 3/8" #8 self -drilling screws.

E SURE NOT TO DAMAGE INTERNAL WIRING OR OTHER COMPONENTS WHEN
REINSTALLING COUPLING AND SCREWS.
5. Upflow and Counterflow units.
For non-direct vent installations installed horizontally, a
minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the
combustion air intake coupling to guard against inadvertent
blockage. No elbow is required on the alternate combustion
air intake of upright installations, however, a minimum
clearance of 2 inches is required to assure proper air supply.
6. Upflow and Counterflow units.
For direct vent installations, secure field-supplied
combustion air intake pipe directly to the air intake coupling.
NOTE: A PVC coupling or elbow is required on counterflow
units.

Non-direct vent installations require only a vent/flue pipe. The vent
pipe can be run horizontally with an exit through the side of the build-
ing or run vertically with an exit through the roof of the building. The
vent can also be run through an existing unused chimney; however,
it must extend a minimum of 12 inches above the top of the chimney.
The space between the vent pipe and the chimney must be closed
with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing. For details con-
cerning connection of the vent/flue pipe to the furnace, refer to Sec-
tion IX, Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion Air - Standard Furnace Con-
nections or Alternate Furnace Connections for specific details. Re-
fer to the following Non-Direct Vent (Single Pipe) Piping - Vent/Flue
Pipe Terminations for specific details on termination construction.
