SITE SELECTION

1. Select a site in the building near
the center of the proposed, or exist-
ing, duct system.

tem piping when selecting the fur-
nace location. Vent from the fur-
nace to the termination with mini-
mal length and elbows.

ing gas piping. If running a new gas
line, locate the furnace to minimize
the length and elbows in the gas
piping.
4. Locate the furnace to maintain
proper clearance to combustibles
as shown in Figures 9, 10 & 11.
