area. The sheet metal MUST extend underneath the furnace casing by 1-in.
(25 mm) with the door removed. The bottom closure panel may be used for
flame roll-out protection when bottom of furnace is used for return air connection.
NOTE: Local codes may require a drain pan and condensate trap when a
condensing furnace is installed over a finished ceiling.

ROLLOUT PROTECTION REQUIRED
Install 12" x 22" (204 x 559 mm) sheet metal in front of and above the burner compartment area.
The sheet metal MUST extend above the furnace casing by 1-in. (25 mm with the door removed.
A 1-in. (25 mm) clearance minimum between top of furnace and combustible material is required.
The entire length of furnace must be supported when furnace is used in horizontal position to
ensure proper drainage.
NOTE: FURNACE SHOWN IS A DIRECT-VENT APPLICATION. REFER TO THE VENTING SECTION FOR
ALLOWABLE VENT CONFIGURATIONS.
NOTE: Local codes may require a drain pan and condensate trap when a
condensing furnace is installed over a finished ceiling.

GAS PIPING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death,
and/or property damage.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never test for gas
leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections. A
fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.
Use proper length of pipe to avoid stress on gas control manifold and
gas valve.
Gas valve inlet and/or inlet pipe must remain capped until gas supply
line is permanently installed to protect the valve from moisture and
debris. Also, install a sediment trap in the gas supply piping at the inlet
to the gas valve.
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
A150580
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.
Connect gas pipe to furnace using a backup wrench to avoid damaging
gas controls and burner misalignment.
In the state of Massachusetts:
1. Gas supply connections MUST be performed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter.
2. When flexible connectors are used, the maximum length shall
not exceed 36 in. (915 mm).
3. When lever handle type manual equipment shutoff valves are
used, they shall be T-handle valves.The use of copper tubing for
gas piping is NOT approved by the state of Massachusetts.
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local
codes. Refer to current edition of NFGC in the U.S.A. Refer to current
edition of NSCNGPIC in Canada.
Installations must be made in accordance with all authorities having
jurisdiction. If possible, the gas supply line should be a separate line
running directly from meter to furnace.
NOTE: Use a back-up wrench on the inlet of the gas valve when
connecting the gas line to the gas valve.
The gas supply pressure shall be within the maximum and minimum
inlet supply pressures marked on the rating plate with the furnace
burners ON and OFF.
Gas entry can be from left or right side, or top panel. See
Fig. 30.
