Codes

All local codes and regulations take precedence over the instructions in this manual and
shall be followed accordingly. In the absence of local codes, this installation must
conform to these instructions and to the regulations of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) publications, the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning
Equipment, NFPA 31-2020, and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2017 or the
latest editions thereof,

Installation Location

c WARNING:
 These furnaces are designed for indoor installation ONLY.
 These furnaces are NOT to be used as construction heaters.
 DO NOT hang the horizontal / counterflow furnace from a structure, or
surface, by any integral part or fastener of the furnace. The furnace was
not designed to support itself in this manner.
In as much as practical, the furnace should be positioned near a chimney or vent and
should be centralized with respect to the air distribution system.
For a utility room installation, the entrance door must be wide enough to permit the
largest part of the furnace to pass through the doorway or allow sufficient clearance to
permit the replacement of another appliance, e.g. a water heater, in the room.
If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must be installed so the burner is
located higher than 18 inches above the floor, unless the required combustion air is taken
from the exterior of the garage. Also, the furnace must be located or protected to avoid
physical damage from impacts by vehicles.
It is recommended that a commercially available CO alarm be installed in conjunction
with any fossil fuel burning appliance. The CO alarm shall be installed according to the
alarm manufacturer's installation instructions and be listed in accordance with the latest
edition of the UL Standard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL
2034, or the CSA International Standard, Residential Carbon Monoxide Alarming
Devises, CSA 6.19.
The furnace shall not be operated in a condition where the return air is consistently below
55°F.

Closet and Alcove Installation

All furnace models are approved to be installed in a closet or alcove. Proper clearances
to combustible material and adequate supply of combustion air must be provided. See
the following sections for additional information.
