Upflow Installation The combustion air and exhaust vent may exit through the top, left or right side of the cabinet when viewed in the upflow position. The inducer is installed so that the exhaust vent may exit the top and left sides without requiring rotation.
Downflow Installation The opening in the floor must provide adequate clearances When the furnace is installed in the downflow position to the combustible material. the combustion air and exhaust vent may exit through A half-inch of clearance will be required between the the left or right side of the cabinet (when viewed in the plenum and the combustible material.
Horizontal Left Installation Horizontal Right Installation In the horizontal right installation the combustion air and In the horizontal left installation the combustion air exhaust vent may exit through the top or left side of the and exhaust vent may exit through the top or right side cabinet (when viewed in the upflow position).

Recommended clearance for overhangs is a minimum of 1 foot vertically for each foot horizontally up to 6 feet. As a protection against freezing, do not expose a 3 x 2 reducing coupling to outdoor ambient temperatures. Any adjacent painted surfaces should be in good condition; no cracks, peeling paint, etc.
TERMINATION OF COMBUSTION AIR AND VENTILATION PIPE USING A CONCENTRIC VENTING KIT Concentric venting terminal kits may be used for this series The concentric venting terminal has the combustion air intake furnace. They provide a means of obtaining combustion air built into the assembly.
