Platform Furnace Support; Roll- -Out Protection; Bottom Return Air Inlet; Side Return Air Inlet - Bryant 310A Installation, Start--Up, Operating, And Service And Maintenance

If the screws are attached to ONLY the furnace sides and not the
bottom, the straps must be vertical against the furnace sides and
not pull away from the furnace sides, so that the strap attachment
screws are not in tension (are loaded in shear) for reliable support.

Platform Furnace Support

Construct working platform at location where all required furnace
clearances are met. (See Fig. 2 and 17.) For furnaces with 1- -in.
(25 mm) clearance requirement on side, set furnace on non- -
combustible blocks, bricks or angle iron. For crawl space
installations, if the furnace is not suspended from the floor joists,
the ground underneath furnace must be level and the furnace set
on blocks or bricks.

Roll- -Out Protection

Provide a minimum 17- -3/4 in. x 22 in. (451 x 559 mm) piece of
sheet metal for flame roll- -out protection in front of burner area
for furnaces closer than 12 inches (305 mm) above the
combustible deck or suspended furnaces closer than 12 inches
(305 mm) to joists. The sheet metal MUST extend underneath the
furnace casing by 1 in. (25 mm) with the door removed.
The bottom closure panel on furnaces of widths 17- -1/2 in. (445
mm) and larger may be used for flame roll- -out protection when
bottom of furnace is used for return air connection. See Fig. 17
for proper orientation of roll- -out shield.

Bottom Return Air Inlet

These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return- -air opening. Remove and discard this panel when
bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel,
perform the following:
1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove 2 screws holding bottom
filler panel. (See Fig. 9.)
2. Rotate bottom filler panel downward to release holding
tabs.
3. Remove bottom closure panel.
4. Reinstall bottom filler panel and screws.

Side Return Air Inlet

These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return- -air opening. This panel MUST be in place when
side return air inlet(s) is used without a bottom return air inlet.
Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air
connections. (See Fig. 20.)
