TYPICAL INSTALLATION OF
DOWNFLOW SYSTEMS OR
PLATINUM SYSTEM
The following steps describe installation in-
structions for an under-the-floor supply duct
system with a return air system that can be
either non-ducted or ducted. Duct connectors
(Table 4) are recommended for this application.
NOTE: Before installing this furnace, consider
all clearances for the installation and future
servicing of the furnace. Refer to Table 1.
Return Air and Filtering Systems
Furnaces may be installed with non-ducted or
ducted return air. For non-ducted return air
systems, either the optional grille and frame
assembly or the optional wall mount grille is
recommended. For ducted return air systems
with air conditioners or heat pumps, either
providing an access panel in the duct or using
the optional coil cabinet is recommended. The
duct system must be properly sized so as to
account for any additional external static pres-
sure produced from the chosen filtering method.
NOTE: Refer to the instructions supplied with
any additional accessories for further installa-
tion details.
