O PREVENT UNRELIABLE OPERATION OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
INLET GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE MUST BE AS SPECIFIED ON THE UNIT
RATING PLATE WITH ALL OTHER HOUSEHOLD GAS FIRED APPLIANCES
.
OPERATING
Inlet gas supply pressures must be maintained within the ranges
specified in the following table. The supply pressure must be
constant and available with all other household gas fired appli-
ances operating. The minimum gas supply pressure must be
maintained to prevent unreliable ignition. The maximum must
not be exceeded to prevent unit overfiring.

A heat pump thermostat with three stages of heat is required
to properly use a two-stage furnace in conjunction with a
heat pump. Refer to the fossil fuel kit (AFE18-60A) installa-
tion instructions for additional thermostat requirements.

LTITUDE
ERATE
In some areas the gas supplier may artificially derate the gas
in an effort to compensate for the effects of altitude. If the
gas is artificially derated, the appropriate orifice size must be
determined based upon the BTU/ft
and the altitude. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149.1-15 in Canada, and informa-
tion provided by the gas supplier to determine the proper orifice
size.

ALVE
This unit is equipped with a 24 volt gas valve which modulates
by pneumatic linkage to the combustion air blower. Taps for
THE
measuring the gas supply pressure and manifold pressure are
provided on the valve. This is a non-convertible, non-adjust-
able gas valve equipped for natural gas.
The gas valve has a manual ON/OFF control located on the valve
itself. This control may be set only to the "ON" or "OFF" posi-
tion. Refer to the lighting instructions label or the Startup Proce-
dure & Adjustment section of this manual for use of this con-
trol during start up and shut down periods.

TANK TO THE FURNACE
The gas piping supplying the furnace must be properly sized based
on the gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas, and length
of the run. The gas line installation must comply with local codes,
or in their absence, with the latest edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149.1-15 in
Canada.

To connect the furnace to the building's gas piping, the installer
must supply a ground joint union, drip leg, manual shutoff valve,
and line and fittings to connect to gas valve. In some cases, the
installer may also need to supply a transition piece from 1/2"
pipe to a larger pipe size.
