INSPECTION
As soon as a unit is received, it should be inspected for possible dam-
age during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damage
should be noted on the carrier's freight bill. A separate request for
inspection by the carrier's agent should be made in writing. Also, before
installation the unit should be checked for screws or bolts, which may
have loosened in transit. There are no shipping or spacer brackets
which need to be removed.
FURNACE LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

FURNACE LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
FURNACE LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
The furnace shall be located using the following guidelines:
1.
Where a minimum amount of air intake/vent piping and elbows will
be required.
2.
As centralized with the air distribution as possible.
3.
Where adequate combustion air will be available (particularly
when the appliance is not using outdoor combustion air).
4.
Where it will not interfere with proper air circulation in the confined
space.
5.
Where the outdoor vent terminal will not be blocked or restricted.
Refer to "VENT CLEARANCES" located in SECTION VII of these
instructions. These minimum clearances must be maintained in
the installation.
6.
Where the unit will be installed in a level position with no more
than 1/4" (6.4 mm) slope side-to-side and front-to-back to provide
proper condensate drainage.
Installation in freezing temperatures:
1.
Furnace shall be installed in an area where ventilation facilities
provide for safe limits of ambient temperature under normal oper-
ating conditions. Ambient temperatures may fall below 32° F (0° C)
providing the flue temperature does not fall below 260° F (127° C)
at any point in the flue pipe between the furnace and the chimney
or a B-Vent. The flue products will condense in the vent pipe if the
flue temperature falls below 260° F (127° C) causing the vent pipe
to deteriorate rapidly.

DUCTWORK GENERAL INFORMATION
The duct system's design and installation must:
1.
Handle an air volume appropriate for the served space and within
the operating parameters of the furnace specifications.
2.
Be installed in accordance with standards of NFPA (National Fire
Protection Association) as outlined in NFPA pamphlets 90A and
90B (latest editions) or applicable national, provincial, or state, and
local fire and safety codes.
3.
Create a closed duct system. For residential and Non-HUD Modu-
lar Home installations, when a furnace is installed so that the sup-
ply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the
space containing the furnace, the return air shall also be handled
by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside
the space containing the furnace.

2.
Do not allow return air temperature to be below 55º F (13° C) for
extended periods. To do so may cause condensation to occur in
the main heat exchanger, leading to premature heat exchanger
failure.
Improper installation in an ambient below 32ºF (0.0° C) could create
a hazard, resulting in damage, injury or death.
3.
If this furnace is installed in an unconditioned space and an
extended power failure occurs, there will be potential damage to
the internal components. Following a power failure situation, do
not operate the unit until inspection and repairs are performed.
Clearances for access:
Ample clearances should be provided to permit easy access to the unit.
The following minimum clearances are recommended:
1.
Twenty-four (24) inches (61 cm) between the front of the furnace
and an adjacent wall or another appliance, when access is
required for servicing and cleaning.
2.
Eighteen (18) inches (46 cm) at the side where access is required
for passage to the front when servicing or for inspection or
replacement of flue/vent connections.
In all cases, accessibility clearances shall take precedence over clear-
ances for combustible materials where accessibility clearances are
greater.
Installation in a residential garage:
A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be
installed so the burner(s) and the ignition source are located not less
than 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor, and the furnace must be located
or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles.

4.
Complete a path for heated or cooled air to circulate through the
air conditioning and heating equipment and to and from the condi-
tioned space.
The cooling coil must be installed in the supply air duct, down-
stream of the furnace. Cooled air may not be passed over the heat
exchanger.
When the furnace is used in conjunction with a cooling coil, the coil
must be installed parallel with, or in the supply air side of the furnace to
avoid condensation in the primary heat exchanger. When a parallel flow
arrangement is used, dampers or other means used to control airflow
must be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If
manually operated, the damper must be equipped with means to pre-
vent the furnace or the air conditioner from operating unless the damper
is in full heat or cool position.
