• Isolate a non-direct furnace from an area
contaminated by any of the above substances.
This protects the
non-direct vent
furnace from
airborne contaminants. To ensure that the
enclosed
non-direct
vent
furnace has an
adequate supply of combustion air, air must be
ducted in from a nearby uncontaminated room
or from outdoors. Refer to the
Combustion and
Ventilation Air Requirements
for details.
• If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling
unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel
with the cooling coil. Premature heat exchanger
failure will result if the cooling coil is placed
upstream of the furnace.
For vertical (upflow or downflow) applications,
the minimum cooling coil width shall not be less
than furnace width minus 1”. Additionally, a
coil installed above an upflow furnace or under
a counterflow furnace may be the same width
as the furnace or may be one size larger than
the furnace.
Example: a “C” width coil may be
installed with a “B” width furnace.
For upflow applications, the front of the coil
and furnace must face the same direction.
• If the furnace is installed in a residential garage,
position the furnace so that the burners and
ignition source are located not less than 18
inches (457 mm) above the floor. Protect the
furnace from physical damage by vehicles.
• If the furnace is installed horizontally, ensure
the access doors are not on the “up/top” or
“down/bottom” side of the furnace.
• Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue
that serves a separate appliance designed to
burn solid fuel.
• On Counterflow Installations, the air
conditioning coil must be downstream on the
supply (positive) side of the furnace heat
exchanger.
•
Counterflow Installation over a noncombustible
floor.
Before setting the furnace over the plenum
opening, ensure the surface around the opening
is smooth and level. A tight seal should be made
between the furnace base and floor by using a
silicone rubber caulking compound or cement
grout.
•
Counterflow Installation over a combustible floor.
If installation over a combustible floor becomes
necessary, use an accessory subbase (see
Specification Sheet applicable for your model for
details.) A special accessory subbase must be used
for upright counterflow unit installations over any
combustible material including wood. Refer to
subbase instructions for installation details. Follow
the instructions with the subbase for proper
installation. Do not install the furnace directly on
carpeting, tile, or other combustible material
other than wood flooring. (
NOTE
: The subbase will
not be required if an air conditioning coil is installed
between the supply air opening on the furnace and
the floor.)

Installations must adhere to the clearances to combustible
materials to which this furnace has been design certified.
The minimum clearance information for this furnace is pro-
vided on the unit’s clearance label. These clearances must be
permanently maintained. Clearances must also accommo-
date an installation’s gas, electrical, and drain trap and drain
line connections.
