Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for
the CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace.
Ductwork should be designed in accordance with the recom-
mended methods of "Air Conditioning Contractors of America"
Manual D.
A duct system must be installed in accordance with Standards
of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of
Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems.
Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be
attached to the back of the furnace. For installations requiring
more than 1800 CFM, use a bottom return or two sided return.
Supply and return connections to the furnace may be made
with flexible joints to reduce noise transmission. To prevent the
blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a cen-
tral return is used, a connecting duct must be installed be-
tween the unit and the utility room wall. A room, closet, or
alcove must not be used as a return air chamber.
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the
furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream
side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating
element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other
means used to control the flow of air must be adequate to
prevent chilled air from entering the furnace and, if manually
operated, must be equipped with means to prevent operation of
either unit unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is rec-
ommended that a removable access panel be provided in the
outlet air duct. This opening shall be accessible when the fur-
nace is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat
exchanger can be viewed for visual light inspection or such that
a sampling probe can be inserted into the airstream. The ac-
cess panel must be made to prevent air leaks when the furnace
is in operation.

When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air
entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

Total external static refers to everything external to the furnace
cabinet. Cooling coils, filters, ducts, grilles, registers must all
be considered when reading your total external static pres-
sure. The supply duct pressure must be read between the fur-
nace and the cooling coil. This reading is usually taken by
removing the "A" shaped block off plate from the end on the
AIR
coil; drilling a test hole in it and reinstalling the block off plate.
Take a duct static reading at the test hole. Tape up the test
hole after your test is complete. The negative pressure must be
read between the filter and the furnace blower.
Too much external static pressure will result in insufficient air
that can cause excessive temperature rise. This can cause
limit switch tripping and heat exchanger failure.
To determine total external duct static pressure, proceed as
follows;
1. With clean filters in the furnace, use a draft gauge (inclined
manometer) to measure the static pressure of the return
duct at the inlet of the furnace. (Negative Pressure)
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct. (Positive
Pressure)
3. The difference between the two numbers is .4" w.c.
Example:
static reading from return duct = -.1" w.c.
static reading from supply duct = .3" w.c.
total external static pressure on this system = .4" w.c.
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read
directly on the manometer if so desired. If an air conditioner
coil or Electronic Air Cleaner is used in conjunction with the
furnace, the readings must also include theses components,
as shown in the following drawing.
4. Consult proper tables for the quantity of air.
If the total external static pressure exceeds the maximum listed
on the furnace rating plate, check for closed dampers, regis-
ters, undersized and/or oversized poorly laid out duct work.
