*SC series furnaces are shipped with the bottom panel
installed. If the furnace is installed horizontally, remove
the bottom panel from the furnace before attaching the
duct system. See Bottom Panel Removal.
If the furnace is to be suspended from the ceiling, it will
be necessary to use steel straps around each end of the
furnace. The straps should be attached to the furnace with
sheet metal screws and to the rafters with bolts. The furnace
could also be suspended by an angle iron frame bolted to
the rafters (Figure 8, page 9). Access for positioning and
servicing must be considered when locating the unit. See
Table 3 (page 27) for clearance specifi cations.
If the furnace is to be installed in an attic, it is required that
a drip pan be placed under the furnace. If the installation is
on a combustible platform (Figure 14), it is recommended
that the drip pan extend at least 12 inches past the top
and front of the furnace.

To install the furnace on combustible fl ooring, a special
sub-base is required. Downfl ow sub-base kits are factory
supplied accessories and are listed according to the
cabinet letter of the furnace. For 'A' size cabinets use Sub-
Base kit #902974 only. For 'B', 'C', and 'D' size cabinets use
Kit #904911. Please follow the instructions provided
with the kit.
A downfl ow sub-base kit is not necessary if the furnace
is installed on a factory or site-built cased air conditioning
coil. However, the plenum attached to the coil casing
must be installed so that its surfaces are at least 1" from
combustible construction.
