calculation made according to the manuals provided by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America
(ACCA) or the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc.
(ASHRAE).
2. All local codes and/or regulations take precedence over the instructions in this manual and should be
followed accordingly. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with these instructions and
regulations of the National Fire Protection Association, and to the provisions of the National Electrical
Code (ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 or latest edition).

located higher than 18 inches above the floor. The furnace must also be located or protected to avoid
physical damage by vehicles.
