Upflow / Horizontal Furnace Filters

The Upflow/Horizontal furnace, when installed horizon-
tally, requires a horizontal filter kit. The filters may be
located remote to the furnace or in the return air duct near
the furnace. Check with your dealer for the location
of your filters.
An upflow/horizontal furnace in horizontal return air filter
application, as shown, features two 14" x 20" x 1" filters in
the 14-1/2" wide furnace cabinets; or two 16" x 20" x 1"
filters in the 17-1/2", 21", and 24-1/2" wide furnace cabi-
nets.

are secured in place in both top and bottom filter brackets.

Air filters may also be located outside of the furnace using
a remote filter grille. The filter grille could be in a hallway,
