Circulating Air & Filters; Ductwork - Air Flow; Bottom Return Air Opening [Upflow Models ] - Goodman GMV95 Installation Instructions Manual

gas supplier about installing a gas detecting warning system. If
the presence of gas is suspected, follow the instructions on Page
4 of this manual.
All propane gas equipment must conform to the safety standards of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters, NBFU Manual 58.
For satisfactory operation, propane gas pressure must be 11 inch
w.c. at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in operation.
Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:
1. Vaporization rate, depending on temperature of the liquid,
and "wetted surface" area of the container or containers.
2. Proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is
recommended for both cost and efficiency).
3. Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between
second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size will
depend on length of pipe run and total load of all appliances.
Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization, recom-
mended regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available from most
regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.
Since propane gas will quickly dissolve white lead and most stan-
dard commercial compounds, special pipe dope must be used. Shel-
lac-based compounds resistant to the actions of liquefied petroleum
®
gases such as Gasolac , Stalactic
satisfactory.

tions.

UCTWORK IR
Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for the
CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Design the
®
are
ductwork in accordance with the recommended methods of "Air
Conditioning Contractors of America" Manual D.
Install the duct system in accordance with Standards of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air Conditioning,
Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets No. 90A and
90B.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct con-
nected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to
the back of the furnace. Flexible joints may be used for supply and
return connections to reduce noise transmission. To prevent the
blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a central
return is used, a connecting duct must be installed between the unit
and the utility room wall. Never use a room, closet, or alcove as a
return air chamber.

The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a "lance
and cut" method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening in the
base pan. To remove, simply press out the lanced sections by hand
3/4"
to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal over the duct
7,500
opening. Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and remove the sheet
4,200
metal covering the duct opening. In the corners of the opening, cut
4,000
3,700 the sheet metal along the scribe lines to free the duct flanges. Us-
3,400
ing the scribe line along the duct flange as a guide, unfold the duct
3,100
flanges around the perimeter of the opening using a pair of seamer
2,600
2,300
pliers or seamer tongs. NOTE: Airflow area will be reduced by ap-
2,100
proximately 18% if duct flanges are not unfolded. This could cause
1,900
1,700 performance issues and noise issues.
