4.0 LOCATION OF UNIT

4.1

GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. Select a location where the exhaust and combustion air piping can be routed between the furnace and
their terminations with a minimum of lengths and fi ttings. Be sure to check that the proposed termination
location will meet code requirements with respect to location and minimum clearances. (See venting
section for minimum and maximum limits.)
2. Select a location as near as possible to the existing or proposed duct system.
3. The furnace location must have provisions for condensate drainage. If a suitable drain is unavailable near
the furnace, a condensate pump must be used. The condensate pump drain tubing must not terminate
outdoors; similar to some air conditioning condensate installations. Be sure to select a condensate pump
that has been approved for furnace condensate applications.
4. The furnace location must permit access for servicing and be within the clearance to combustibles
guidelines as marked on the appliance rating plate.
5. The furnace must be installed on a level surface. It is recommended that the rear of the furnace be
elevated 1/4" higher than the front to facilitate proper condensate drainage.
6. If the furnace is being installed so that the return air will enter through the bottom, the perimeter of the
furnace must be properly supported.
7. When installed in the horizontal position, the furnace may be supported from the bottom, or suspended.
