CAUTION
!
MINOR PROPERTY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor property
damage.
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace and
condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in an attic
application or over a finished ceiling.
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawlspace
on either the left−hand (LH) or right−hand (RH) side. The furnace
can be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or installed on a
non−combustible platform, blocks, bricks or pad.
Platform Furnace Support
Construct working platform at location where all required furnace
clearances are met. See Table 2 and Fig. 29. For furnaces with
1−in. (25 mm) clearance requirement on side, set furnace on
non−combustible blocks, bricks or angle iron. For crawlspace
installations, if the furnace is not suspended from the floor joists,
the ground underneath furnace must be level and the furnace set on
blocks or bricks.
Suspended Furnace Support
The furnace must be supported under the entire length of the
furnace with threaded rod and angle iron. See Fig. 30. Secure
angle iron to bottom of furnace as shown.
Roll−Out Protection
Provide a minimum 12−in. x 22−in. (305 x 559 mm) piece of sheet
metal for flame roll−out protection in front of burner area for
furnaces closer than 12−in. (305 mm) above the combustible deck
or suspended furnaces closer than 12−in. (305 mm) to joists. The
sheet metal MUST extend underneath the furnace casing by 1−in.
(25 mm) with the door removed.
The bottom closure panel on furnaces of widths 17−1/2−in. (445
mm) and larger may be used for flame roll−out protection when
bottom of furnace is used for return air connection. See Fig. 29 for
proper orientation of roll−out shield.
Supply Air Connections
For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct shall
be provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall be
accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size
that the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings using
light assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the air
stream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks.
Connect supply−air duct to flanges on furnace supply−air outlet.
Bend flange upward to 90_ with wide duct pliers. See Fig. 21. The
supply−air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace
supply−outlet−air duct flanges or air conditioning coil casing
(when used). DO NOT cut main furnace casing side to attach
supply air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All supply−side
accessories MUST be connected to duct external to furnace main
casing.
Return Air Connections
The return−air duct may be connected to bottom of the furnace.
The side of casing that faces downward may also be used for return
air connection. A combination of the bottom and downward
facing side may also be used. The upward facing side of the casing
cannot be used as a return air connection. See Fig. 28.
Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return−air opening. Remove and discard this panel when
bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, see Fig.
22 or 23.
Side Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return−air opening. This panel MUST be in place when
side return air inlet(s) are used without a bottom return air inlet.
Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air
connections. See Fig. 28. Where required by code, seal bottom
closure to furnace with tape, mastic, or other durable sealing
method.
Filter Arrangement
WARNING
!
FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal
injury or death.
Never operate a furnace without a filter or filtration device
installed. Never operate a furnace with filter or filtration
device access doors removed.
There are no provisions for an internal filter rack in these furnaces.
An external filter is required.
The furnace is shipped with a factory-supplied Media Filter
Cabinet. The Media Filter Cabinet uses either a standard 1-in. (25
mm) filter or 4-in. (102 mm) wide Media Filter which can be
purchased separately. A field supplied accessory air cleaner may
also be used in place of the media cabinet.
The Media Cabinet is sized for bottom return applications for use
in upflow, downflow and horizontal applications. A 16−in. (406
mm) Media Cabinet is shipped with the 14−3/16-in. (360 mm)
furnace and includes block-off plates
For upflow side return applications, the Media Cabinet (or field
supplied accessory air cleaner) can be installed on the side of the
furnace or side and bottom when a bottom plenum is used. See
Fig. 19 and 26.
For downflow applications, the Media Cabinet (or field supplied
accessory air cleaner) must only be connected to the bottom
opening on the furnace. See Fig. 19 and 27.
For horizontal applications, the Media Cabinet (or field supplied
accessory air cleaner) for all models can be connected to the
bottom opening on the furnace. For side return use in the
horizontal position, refer to Fig. 28. If both side and bottom
openings are used in Fig. 28, each opening used will require a
filter.
The media cabinet (or field supplied accessory air cleaner) can also
be installed in the common return duct prior to entering the return
air opening in any orientation.
Refer to the instructions supplied with Media Cabinet or accessory
air filter for assembly and other details.
See Table 7 for filter size details.
Filter and Return Duct Sizing
Pressure drop must be taken into account when sizing filters, filter
racks, IAQ devices, and associated system ductwork. See Table 5
for a comparison of Pressure Drop (initial/clean resistance to
airflow) versus Airflow for a variety of filter media types and sizes.
These are representative numbers. Consult the filter or IAQ device
manufacturers' specification sheet for performance data for a
particular filter media or IAQ device.
Design the filter and associated ductwork for the best match of
pressure drop versus filter size. Best practice usually chooses filter
systems with pressure drops under 0.2 in. W.C. (50 Pa), with the
