INTRODUCTION

→
The model 58CMA Furnace is available in two sizes. Each size
unit is capable of 3 heat/airflow combinations by a simple nozzle
change. Unit 105-12 covers inputs of 70,000, 91,000, and 105,000
Btu, and unit 120-20 covers inputs of 119,000, 140,000, and
154,000 Btuh.
This furnace is a m ultipoise unit. It may be installed in the upflow,
downflow, or horizontal configuration.
The furnace is shipped in the upflow configuration, complete with
burner and controls. It requires a line voltage (115 vac) connection
to control box, a thermostat hook-up as shown on wiring diagram,
oil line connection(s), adequate duct work, and connection to a
properly sized vent.
The air handling capacity of this furnace is designed for cooling
airflow. Refer to Table 7 for expected airflows at various external
duct static pressures.

LOCATION

Step 1—General
This furnace is not water tight and is not designed for outdoor
installation. This furnace shall be installed in such a manner
as to protect electrical components from water. Outdoor
installation would lead to a hazardous electrical condition and
to premature furnace failure.
Do not use this furnace as a construction heater. Use of this
furnace as a construction heater exposes furnace to abnormal
conditions, contaminated combustion air, and lack of air
filters. Failure to follow this warning can lead to premature
furnace failure, and/or vent failure which could result in a fire
hazard, and/or bodily harm.
For attic installation, it is important to keep insulation 12 in.
or more away from any furnace openings. Some types of
insulating materials may be combustibles.
This furnace is approved for reduced clearances to combustible
construction, therefore, it may be installed in a closet or similar
enclosure. Since this unit may be installed in an upflow, downflow,
or horizontal position, it may be located in a basement or on the
same level as area to be heated. In any case, unit should always be
installed level.

In a basement, or when installed on floor (as in a crawlspace), it is
recommended that unit be installed on a concrete pad that is 1 in.
to 2 in. thick.

When installed in downflow position, furnace must NOT be
installed on combustible flooring, unless approved subbase is used.
Also, since flue pipe is in a down flow position, Downflow
Conversion /Vent Guard Kit MUST be used. (Also, read page 9.)
When installed in a horizontal position, furnace may be suspended
by using an angle iron frame, as long as total weight of both
furnace and frame are allowed for in support calculations. (Other
methods of suspending are acceptable.)
The required minimum clearances for this furnace are specified in
Table 1.
The furnace should be located as close as possible to chimney or
vent in order to keep vent connections short and direct. The
furnace should also be located as near as possible to center of air
distribution system.
Step 2—Location Relative to Cooling Equipment
When installing furnace with cooling equipment for year-round
operation, the following recommendations must be followed for
series or parallel airflow:
1. In series airflow applications, coil is mounted after furnace in
an enclosure in supply-air stream. The furnace blower is used
for both heating and cooling airflow.
The cooling coil MUST be installed on air discharge side of
furnace. Under no circumstances should airflow be such that
cooled, conditioned air can pass over furnace heat exchanger.
This will cause condensation in heat exchanger and possible
failure of heat exchanger which could lead to a fire hazard
and/or a hazardous condition which may lead to bodily harm.
Heat exchanger failure due to improper installation may not
be covered by warranty.
2. In parallel airflow applications, dampers must be provided to
direct air over furnace heat exchanger when heat is desired and
over cooling coil when cooling is desired.
IMPORTANT: The dampers should be adequate to prevent cooled
air from entering furnace. If manually operated, dampers must be
equipped with a means to prevent operation of either cooling unit
or furnace unless damper is in full cool or heat position.
