CODES AND STANDARDS

Follow all national and local codes and standards in addition to
these instructions. The installation must comply with regulations
of the serving gas supplier, local building, heating, plumbing, and
other codes. In absence of local codes, the installation must
comply with the national codes listed below and all authorities
having jurisdiction in Canada.
In the United States and Canada, follow all codes and standards for
the following:
Step 1—Safety

Propane Installation Code (NSCNGPIC) CSA B149.1-00
Step 2—General Installation
• US: NFGC and the NFPA 90B. For copies, contact the National
Fire Protection Association Inc., Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269; or for only the NFGC contact the American Gas
Association, 400 N. Capitol, N.W., Washington DC 20001
• CANADA: NSCNGPIC. For a copy, contact Standard Sales,
CSA International, 178 Rexdale Boulevard, Etobicoke (Tor-
onto), Ontario, M9W 1R3, Canada.
Step 3—Combustion and Ventilation Air
• US: Section 8.3 of the NFGC, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation
• CANADA: Part 7 of the NSCNGPIC, Venting Systems and Air
Supply for Appliances
Step 4—Duct Systems

(ACCA) Manual D, Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Con-
tractors National Association (SMACNA), or American Soci-
ety of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) 2001 Fundamentals Handbook Chapter 34.
Step 5—Acoustical Lining and Fibrous Glass Duct
• US and CANADA: current edition of SMACNA, NFPA 90B as
tested by UL Standard 181 for Class I Rigid Air Ducts
Step 6—Gas Piping and Gas Pipe Pressure Testing
• US: NFGC; chapters 5, 6, 7, and 12 and national plumbing
codes
In the state of Massachusetts:
• This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas
fitter.
• When flexible connectors are used, the maximum length shall
not exceed 36 inches.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit
components.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to
protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will pre-
vent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools
which are held during the procedure. These precautions will
help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge
by putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects may
be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR ANY
WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR TO DIS-
CHARGING YOUR BODY'S ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE
TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace
chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a person's
hand during grounding will be satisfactorily discharged.
3. After touching the chassis, you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO
NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch ungrounded
objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touching
control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded)
furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, discharge
your body's electrostatic charge to ground to protect the
control from damage. If the control is to be installed in a
furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before bringing the control
or yourself into contact with the furnace. Put all used AND
new controls into containers before touching ungrounded
objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources) may
also be used to prevent ESD damage.

INTRODUCTION

The model 58MVP Gas-Fired, Category IV, condensing furnace is
available in model sizes ranging in input capacities of 40,000 to
120,000 Btuh.

APPLICATIONS

Step 1—General
Some assembly and modifications are required for furnaces
installed in any of the 4 applications shown in Fig. 1. All drain and
pressure tubes are connected as shown in Fig. 6. See appropriate
application instructions for these procedures.
MINOR PROPERTY DAMAGE
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor property
damage.
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace and
condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in an attic
application or over a finished ceiling.
NOTE: In Canada, installations shall be in accordance with
current NSCNGPIC and/or local codes.
