Alternate Combustion Air Provision; Alternate Vent/Flue Location - Goodman GMSS96 Installation Instructions Manual

COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE OPTION: The RF000142 coupling (Figure 8B) can be secured
directly to the furnace intake coupling if condensation is a concern. If the RF000142 is
used on the combustion air inlet, it must be installed with the arrow pointing up. It
should be noted, the combustion air will actually be moving in a direction opposite of
the arrow on the RF000142 coupling. It must have a field supplied, trapped drain tube
free-draining to proper condensate disposal location. A loop in the drain tube can serve
as a trap. The unused RF000142 drain fitting should be capped.
N -D V I
ON IRECT ENT NSTALLATIONS
A minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the combustion
air intake "coupling" to guard against inadvertent blockage.

LTERNATE ENT LUE OCATION
The alternate vent/flue location is the large hole directly in line with
the induced draft blower outlet. To use the alternate vent/flue loca-
tion refer to the following steps and the "Alternate Vent/Flue Loca-
tion" figure. To use an alternate vent location on a counterflow /
horizontal model, a special kit is required.
NOTE: In the horizontal left installation position, a means of con-
densate collection must be provided to keep vent pipe condensate
from entering the draft inducer housing. If the vent drain elbow is
eliminated from the installation, an RF000142 kit must be used.
1. Remove the four screws from the vent pipe flange on top the
furnace.
2. Remove the internal elbow and vent pipe
3. Cut 2 1/2" from the flange .
4. Remove plastic plug in line with the inducer outlet
5. Install cut end of the flanged section and connect to inducer
with rubber coupling supplied with furnace.
6. Install screws removed in step 1 securing flange to cabinet.

(Upflow / Horizontal models only)
When using the alternate venting location, either in a horizontal
left side down installation or a vertical installation using down –
venting, an alternate combustion air opening can be used. A locat-
ing dimple is located on the right side of the furnace cabinet. The
locating dimple is 1 7/8" measured from the front edge of the
cabinet in line with the knock out. To use the alternate com-
bustion air location:
1. Remove screws and combustion air flange from cabinet.
2. Insert cabinet plug in unused combustion air hole.
3. Drill a pilot hole at the cabinet dimple (size dictated by
knockout tool used).
