40" Residential Gas Furnace Evolution Third Quarter 1991 – UD-R and UD-C 40" induced draft upflow models introduced to replace the TUD-B linear burner upflow models. Second Quarter 1992 – DD-R and DD-C 40" induced draft downflow/horizontal models introduced to replace the TDD-B linear burner downflow models and the THP, THS and THD series horizontal models.
