Installation In Upflow Or Downflow Applications; Installation In Horizontal Applications; Air Ducts; General Requirements - Bryant 345MAV Installation, Start-Up, And Operating Instructions Manual

1. Position furnace on its back. Locate and drill a 5/16-in.
diameter hole in each bottom corner of furnace. (See Fig.
19.) Holes in bottom closure panel may be used as guide
locations.
2. For each hole, install nut on bolt and then install bolt and
nut in hole. (Install flat washer if desired.)
3. Install another nut on other side of furnace base. (Install flat
washer if desired.)
4. Adjust outside nut to provide desired height, and tighten
inside nut to secure arrangement.
NOTE: Bottom closure must be used when leveling legs are used.
See Bottom Closure Panel section.
II. INSTALLATION IN UPFLOW OR DOWNFLOW
APPLICATIONS
NOTE: For downflow applications, this furnace is approved for
use on combustible flooring when special base (available from
manufacturer) Part No. KGASB0201ALL is used. Special base is
not required when this furnace is installed on manufacturer's Coil
Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or Coil Box Part No. KCAKC is
used.
1. Determine application being installed from Table 1.
2. Construct hole in floor per dimensions specified in Table 1
and Fig. 20.
3. Construct plenum to dimensions specified in Table 1 and
Fig. 20.
4. If downflow subbase (KGASB) is used, install as shown in
Fig. 21.
If Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5 or Coil Box Part
No. KCAKC is used, install as shown in Fig. 22.
NOTE: Remove furnace perforated, discharge duct flanges when
they interfere with mating flanges on coil on downflow subbase.
To remove furnace perforated, discharge duct flange, use wide
duct pliers or duct flange tool to bend flange back and forth until
it breaks off. Be careful of sharp edges. (See Fig. 23.)
WARNING: Do not bend duct flanges inward as shown
in Fig. 23. This will affect airflow across heat exchangers
and may cause limited cycling or premature heat ex-
changer failure. Remove duct flange completely or bend
it inward a minimum of 210° as shown in Fig. 23.
III. INSTALLATION IN HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS
CAUTION: The entire length of furnace MUST be
supported when furnace is used in a horizontal position to
ensure proper draining. When suspended, bottom brace
supports sides and center blower shelf. When unit is
supported from the ground, blocks or pad should support
sides and center blower shelf area. Failure to follow this
caution will result in intermittent unit operation or per-
formance satisfaction.
These furnaces can be installed horizontally in either horizontal
left or right discharge position. In a crawlspace, furnace can either
be hung from floor joist or installed on suitable blocks or pad.
Furnace can be suspended from each corner by hanger bolts and
angle iron supports. (See Fig. 24.) Cut hanger bolts (4 each 3/8-in.
all-thread rod) to desired length. Use 1 X 3/8-in. flat washers,
3/8-in. lockwashers, and 3/8-in. nuts on hanger rods as shown in
Fig. 24. Dimples are provided for hole locations. (See Fig. 2.)
IV. AIR DUCTS
A. General Requirements
The duct system should be designed and sized according to
accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal and
PERFORATED
DISCHARGE DUCT
FLANGE
Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) or
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) or consult The Air Systems Design Guide-
lines reference tables available from your local distributor. The
duct system should be sized to handle the required system design
CFM at the design static pressure.
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the
furnace, the return air shall also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to
the furnace casing and terminating outside the space containing the
furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork used.
Seal supply- and return-duct connections to furnace with code
approved tape or duct sealer.
Flexible connections should be used between ductwork and
furnace to prevent transmission of vibration. Ductwork passing
through unconditioned space should be insulated to enhance
system performance. When air conditioning is used, a vapor
barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1-in. clearance from combustible materials to supply air
ductwork for a distance of 36 in. horizontally from the furnace. See
NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
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.
B. Ductwork Acoustical Treatment
Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 ft
of main duct to the first branch take-off may require internal
acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous ductwork may be used
if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of
SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both
acoustical lining and fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA
90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
C. Supply Air Connections
UPFLOW FURNACES
Connect supply-air duct to 3/4-in. flange on furnace supply-air
outlet. The supply-air duct attachment must ONLY be connected
to furnace supply-/outlet-air duct flanges or air conditioning coil
casing (when used). DO NOT cut main furnace casing to attach
supply side air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All accesso-
ries MUST be connected external to furnace main casing.
