When gas line is in the alternate location, swap the position
of the plug and grommet.

The gas piping may enter the left or right side of the furnace
cabinet. The installer must supply rigid pipe long enough to reach
the outside of the cabinet to seal the grommet cabinet penetra-
tion. A semi-rigid connector to the gas piping can be used outside
the cabinet per local codes. 1/2" NPT pipe and fittings are re-
quired. For models with an "L" shaped manifold, a 4 1/2"
long nipple is required. For models with a hook shaped manifold, a 2" long nipple is required.
From the elbow, the length of pipe and the fittings required will vary by the side chosen, location of union and cabinet width.
The union may be placed inside or outside of the cabinet.

Before placing unit in operation, leak test the unit and gas connec-
tions.
Check for leaks using an approved chloride-free soap and water
solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other approved
testing methods.
NOTE: Never exceed specified pressures for testing. Higher pressure may damage the gas valve and cause subsequent overfiring,
resulting in heat exchanger failure.
Disconnect this unit and shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system before pressure testing the supply piping system with
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
Isolate this unit from the gas supply piping system by closing its external manual gas shutoff valve before pressure testing supply
piping system with test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPA).
