In a residential garage, a gas-fired furnace must be installed
so the burner(s) and the ignition source are located not less
than 18 in. above the floor. The furnace is to be located or
protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles.
WFAR, WFLR, WFAT, and WFLT models may be installed as
suspended units in the horizontal position. These furnaces
are not designed for direct attachment of suspension rods to
the furnace casing. See the "Installation Configurations"
section.
If the furnace is to be installed in an attic or other insulated
space, it must be kept free and clear of insulating materials.
Installation Clearances
A 2 in. minimum clearance is required in front for air openings
into the combustion chamber.
All servicing and cleaning of the furnace can be performed
from the front. If installed in a closet or utility room, provide 24
in. clearance in front for service if the door to the room is not
in line with the front of the furnace. Where servicing
clearances are greater than clearances to combustibles,
servicing clearances take precedence.
