FURNACE FOUNDATION
FURNACE FOUNDATION
Find the footprint of the furnace in the Appendix of this manual
Inspect the ground conditions that you intend to install your furnace on. A cement pad
of 4-6" in thickness should be used. For outdoor installation, the furnace can also be
placed on 4 cement blocks not less than 6" wide X 10" long and 3" thick. place your
blocks so the legs will stand on the center of the blocks. Cement pads should be a little
bigger than the actual furnace, with about a 4' extra length front and back so you have
a solid working area. The furnace may be installed on a combustible floor provided a
noncombustible material such as metal or masonry liner is used in the following areas:
- Underneath the furnace
- At least 16" in front of the furnace and 8" on each side of the firebox and lower com-
bustion chamber doors.
TRENCH
TRENCH
SteelTech Inc recommends the
trench to be 24" to 36" deep and
wide enough to install your water
lines. If possible, have a gradual
slope in your trench to allow drain-
age away from your lines and out of
trench bottom. Most insulated un-
derground pipe has room for electri-
cal wire in it. If it does not, place
electrical supply in bottom of trench
and cover with 6 inches of dirt. A
minimum of R8 insulation value is
recommended and a water tight va-
por barrier such as PVC pipe or
drain tile to encase your insulation is
a must.
NOTE: If you are installing your water lines under an area where vehicles will cross,
you should increase your depth of the trench and use a schedule pipe over your lines
to reduce the pressure generated on the lines.
