CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS This furnace is Designed Certified by AGA/CGA Laboratories for the minimum clearances to combustible material listed in Table 4. See the furnace name plate, located inside the furnace cabinet, for specific model number and clearance information. -
Page 9: Horizontal Installations
A gas-fired furnace installed in a residential garage must be installed so that the bottom of the furnace is located a minimum of 15" from the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. -
Page 10: Circulating Air Supply
19.75" or 14.25"* Figure 7. Downflow Sub-Base Dimensions If outside air is utilized as return air to the furnace for ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the system must be designed so that the return air to the furnace is not less than 50°F (10°C) during heating operation. -

VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS NORDYNE condensing furnaces may be in- stalled with outdoor combustion air piped di- rectly to the furnace, or without such special piping. Codes refer to the former as "direct vent"... - Page 12 Vent or Each opening must Chimney be at least 100 sq. in. or 1 sq. in. per 1000 Btuh of total input rating, whichever is greater. See minimum Furnace Water Heater Minimum Total Input Free Area Rating (Btuh) (Each Opening) 40,000 100 sq.

It should be installed on the combustion air intake collar or inlet PVC. If furnace location is such that this opening might be unintentionally ob- structed, a 3" PVC elbow should be installed on the collar, and the screen placed inside the inlet of the elbow. -
Page 14: Air Directly Through An Exterior Wall
NORDYNE condensing furnaces are classified as "Category IV" appliances, which require spe- cial venting materials and installation proce- dures. Category IV appliances operate with positive vent pressure and therefore require vent systems which are thoroughly sealed. -
Page 15: Vent Pipe Installation
Proper use of the table is illustrated by the following example: Example: An 80,000 Btuh furnace is to be installed in a "one-pipe" system with 40 feet of vent piping. There are four elbows, including those exterior to the building. - Page 16 Straps or Other Suitable Supports at Minimum of 5 ft.

Figure 16 illustrates vent and combustion air pipe sizes exiting the furnace. Transition to the correct pipe size must be done close to the furnace so that the full length of pipe is of proper size. Straight neoprene couplings are supplied with the downflow furnaces only. -

This may result in fur- nace vibration. In severe cases, the furnace will cycle due to the intermit- tent contact between the flame and the flame sensor. If you note oscillations occurring, check the vent configura- tion. -

Figures 19 and 20. Note that a combustion air intake must be provided with an elbow opening downward. The screen provided with the furnace must be installed in the elbow to prevent entry of debris or creatures. -

(usually contains lime- stone). Proper drains and connections to the condensate tubing are required as NORDYNE cannot be held responsible for water leakage which occurs due to loose hose connections or improperly sealed drain line pipes. -
Page 23: Conversion
The cubic feet per hour listed in the table above must be greater than the cubic feet per hour of gas flow required by the furnace. To determine the cubic feet per hour of gas flow required by the furnace, divide the input rate of the furnace by the heating value of the gas: Cubic Feet Per Hour Required Table 6. -
Page 24: Electrical Wiring
Refer to the furnace nameplate and Table 11 for electrical requirements. Line Voltage Wiring The line voltage (115 volt) to the furnace must be supplied from a dedicated branch circuit con- taining the correct fuse or circuit breaker for the furnace. -

Acceptable methods for grounding are electrical wire or conduit ap- proved for electrical ground service. Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground. -
Page 26: Start-Up Procedure
The firing rate must be verified for each installa- tion to prevent over-firing the furnace. NOTE: The firing rate must not exceed the rate shown on the furnace rating plate. At altitudes above 2000 ft. the firing rate must be adjusted as described in the high altitude section. -
Page 27: Verifying And Adjusting Temperature Rise
Use the following procedure to determine the firing rate: Shut off all other gas fired appliances. Start the furnace and allow it to run for at least three minutes. Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas meter to complete one revolution. - Page 28 CUBIC FEET PER REVOLUTION OF TIME FOR ONE REVOLUTION (SECONDS) GAS FLOW RATE (CU UBIC FEET PER HOUR) TIME FOR METER ONE REVOLUTION (SECONDS) 1500 1385 1286 1200 1125 1059 1000 CUBIC FEET PER REVOLUTION OF METER...

Page 29: Verifying Operation Of The Supply Air Limit Switch
To verify operation of the supply air switch, make sure that the blower door is in place and that there is power to the furnace. Completely block the return airflow to the fur- nace by installing a close-off plate in place of or upstream of the filter(s). -

Do you have a question about the G6RC 90+ and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My furnace FG6RC 100c - 16B failed to ignite. The control board had one red light flash per time unit. I found the vent safety switch open and pushed the reset button. Now my furnace functions properly. Do I need to do anything else? Why did the vent safety switch trip open?
The vent safety switch on a Nordyne G6RC 90+ furnace trips open if the outlet flue gas temperature exceeds 160°F. This protects the plastic flue system and the inducer from over-temperature conditions.
