CAUTION: The entire length of furnace MUST be
supported when furnace is used in a horizontal position to
ensure proper draining. When suspended, bottom brace
supports sides and center blower shelf. When unit is
supported from the ground, blocks or pad should support
sides and center blower shelf area.
IV. AIR DUCTS
A. General Requirements
The duct system should be designed and sized according to
accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal and
Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) or
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), or consult The Air Systems Design Guide-
lines reference tables available from your local distributor. The
duct system should be sized to handle the required system design
CFM at the design static pressure.
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air to
areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must
also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and
terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork used.
Seal supply- and return-duct connections to furnace with code
approved tape or duct sealer.

Flexible connections should be used between ductwork and
furnace to prevent transmission of vibration. Ductwork passing
through unconditioned space should be insulated to enhance
system performance. When air conditioning is used, a vapor
barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1-in. clearance from combustible materials to supply air
ductwork for a distance of 36 in. horizontally from the furnace. See
NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct shall
be provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall be
accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size
that the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings using
light assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the air
stream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks.
B. Ductwork Acoustical Treatment
Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 ft
of main duct to the first branch take-off may require internal
acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous ductwork may be used
if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of
SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both
acoustical lining and fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA
90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
C. Supply Air Connections
UPFLOW FURNACES
Connect supply-air duct to 3/4-in. flange on furnace supply-air
outlet. The supply-air duct attachment must ONLY be connected
