Location Requirements & Considerations - Intertek MVM97 Series Installation Instructions Manual

• All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, input rate, temperature rise and venting) are verified according to these
installation instructions.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that the following additional requirements must also be met:
• Gas furnaces must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
• A T-handle gas cock must be used.
• If the unit is to be installed in an attic, the passageway to and the service area around the unit must have flooring.
To ensure proper furnace operation, install, operate and maintain the furnace in accordance with these installation and
operation instructions, all local building codes and ordinances. In their absence, follow the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1), and/or CAN/CSA B149.1 Installation Codes, local plumbing or waste water codes, and other applicable
codes.
A copy of the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1) can be obtained from any of the following:

The rated heating capacity of the furnace should be greater than or equal to the total heat loss of the area to be heated. The total heat
loss should be calculated by an approved method or in accordance with "ASHRAE Guide" or "Manual J-Load Calculations" published by
the Air Conditioning Contractors of America.

OCATION EQUIREMENTS
Follow the instructions listed below and the guidelines provided in the Combustion and Ventilation Air Requirements section when
selecting a furnace location.
• Centrally locate the furnace with respect to the proposed or
existing air distribution system.
• Ensure the temperature of the return air entering the furnace
is between 55°F and 100°F when the furnace is heating.
• Provide provisions for venting combustion products outdoors
through a proper venting system. Special consideration should
be given to vent/flue pipe routing and combustion air intake
pipe when applicable. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and Combustion
Air Pipe -Termination Locations for appropriate termination
locations and to determine if the piping system from furnace
to termination can be accomplished within the guidelines
given. NOTE: The length of flue and/or combustion air piping
can be a limiting factor in the location of the furnace.
• Locate the furnace so condensate flows downwards to the
drain. Do not locate the furnace or its condensate drainage
system in any area subject to below freezing temperatures without proper freeze protection. Refer to Condensate Drain
Lines and Trap for further details.
• Ensure adequate combustion air is available for the furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can expose building
occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to Combustion and Ventilation Air
Requirements.
• Set the furnace on a level floor to enable proper condensate drainage. If the floor becomes wet or damp at times, place the
furnace above the floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1-1/2" larger than the base of the furnace. Refer to the
Horizontal Applications and Considerations for leveling of horizontal furnaces.
