5. Reinstall bottom closure panel if removed.
DOWNFLOW INSTALLATION
NOTE: For downflow applications, this furnace is approved for
use on combustible flooring when any one of the following 3
accessories are used:
Special Base, KGASB
S
A02098 S Cased Coil Assembly Part No. CAPVP, CAPMP, or
CNPVP
S Coil Box Part No. KCAKC
1. Determine application being installed from Table 3.
2. Construct hole in floor per Table 3 and Fig. 11.
3. Construct plenum to dimensions specified in Table 3 and
Fig. 11.
4. If downflow subbase, KGASB is used, install as shown in
Fig. 12. If Coil Assembly Part No. CAPVP, CAPMP, or
CNPVP or Coil Box Part No. KCAKC is used, install as
