HORIZONTAL APPLICATION
Horizontal Filters
All filters and mounting provision must be field supplied. All installa-
tions must have a filter installed.
Any branch duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum
must attach to the vertical plenum before the filter. Use of straps and/or
supports is required to support the weight of the external filter box.
Downflow Filters
Downflow furnaces typically are installed with the filters located above
the furnace, extending into the return air plenum or duct. Any branch
duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum must attach to
the vertical plenum above the filter height.
Filter(s) may be located in the duct system external to the furnace using
an external duct filter box attached to the furnace plenum or at the end
of the duct in a return filter grille(s). The use of straps and/or supports is
required to support the weight of the external filter box.
SECTION IV: GAS PIPING
GAS SAFETY
DANGER
An overpressure protection device, such as a pressure regulator,
must be installed in the gas piping system upstream of the furnace
and must act to limit the downstream pressure to the gas valve so it
does not exceed 0.5 PSI [14" w.c. (3.48 kPa)]. Pressures exceeding
0.5 PSI [14" w.c. (3.48 kPa)] at the gas valve will cause damage to
the gas valve, resulting in a fire or explosion or cause damage to
the furnace or some of its components that will result in property
damage and loss of life.

FIGURE 15: Gas Piping
An accessible manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of
the furnace gas controls and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the furnace.
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual external manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

FIGURE 14: Gas Valve
Plan your gas supply before determining the correct gas pipe entry.
Use 90-degree service elbow(s), or short nipples and conventional
90-degree elbow(s) to enter through the cabinet access holes.
GAS PIPING INSTALLATION
Properly sized wrought iron, approved flexible or steel pipe must be
used when making gas connections to the unit. If local codes allow the
use of a flexible gas appliance connection, always use a new listed con-
nector. Do not use a connector that has previously serviced another gas
appliance.
Some utility companies or local codes require pipe sizes larger than the
minimum sizes listed in these instructions and in the codes. The furnace
rating plate and the instructions in this section specify the type of gas
approved for this furnace - only use those approved gases. The instal-
lation of a drip leg and ground union is required. Refer to Figure 15.

Configuration
The gas valve body is a very thin casting that cannot take any
external pressure. Never apply a pipe wrench to the body of the gas
valve when installing piping. A wrench must be placed on the octa-
gon hub located on the gas inlet side of the valve. Placing a wrench
to the body of the gas valve will damage the valve causing improper
operation and/or the valve to leak.
Gas piping may be connected from either side of the furnace using any
of the gas pipe entry on both sides of the furnace. Refer to Figure 12.
