straps, hangers, etc. Use a minimum of 1 hanger every 6 ft. Joint
compound (pipe dope) should be applied sparingly and only to
male threads of joints. Pipe dope must be resistant to propane gas.
Connect gas pipe to furnace using a backup wrench to avoid
damaging gas controls.
Gas valve shutoff switch MUST be facing forward or tilted
upward. Failure to follow this warning could result in
property damage or death.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never use
matches, candles, flame, or other sources of ignition for
purpose of checking leakage. Use a soap-and-water solution
to check for leakage. A failure to follow this warning could
result in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.
Use proper length of pipe to avoid stress on gas control
manifold. Failure to follow this warning could result in a gas
leak resulting in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.
Install a sediment trap in riser leading to furnace. Trap can be
installed by connecting a tee to riser leading to furnace so
straight-through section of tee is vertical. Then connect a capped
nipple into lower end of tee. Capped nipple should extend below
level of gas controls. Place a ground joint union between gas
control manifold and manual gas shutoff valve. (See Fig. 21.)
If a flexible connector is required or allowed by authority
having jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at gas
valve and extend a minimum of 2 in. outside furnace casing.
An accessible manual shutoff valve MUST be installed upstream
of furnace gas controls and within 6 ft of furnace. A 1/8-in. NPT
plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection, MUST be
installed immediately upstream of gas supply connection to
furnace and downstream of manual shutoff valve.
NOTE:
The gas valve inlet press tap connection is suitable to use
as test gage connection providing test pressure DOES NOT exceed
maximum 0.5 psig (14-in. wc) stated on gas valve. (See Fig. 50.)
Piping should be pressure tested in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before furnace has been attached.
In Canada, refer to current edition of NSCNGPIC. If pressure
exceeds 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), gas supply pipe must be disconnected
from furnace and capped before pressure test. If test pressure is
equal to or less than 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), turn off electric shutoff
switch located on gas valve before test. It is recommended that
ground joint union be loosened before pressure testing. After all
connections have been made, purge lines and check for leakage.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
See Fig. 22 for field wiring diagram showing typical field 115-v
and 24-v wiring. Check all factory and field electrical connections
for tightness.
Blower access panel door switch opens 115-v power to
control center. No component operation can occur. Do not
bypass or close switch with panel removed. Failure to follow
this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation or
control will lock out. Control is grounded through green wire
routed to gas valve and burner box screw.
Step 1—115-v Wiring
Before proceeding with electrical connections, make certain that
voltage, frequency, and phase correspond to that specified on unit
rating plate. Also, check to be sure that service provided by utility
is sufficient to handle load imposed by this equipment. Refer to
rating plate or Table 4 for equipment electrical specifications.
Make all electrical connections in accordance with NEC
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and any local codes or ordinances that might
apply. For Canadian installations, all electrical connections must
be made in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1
or subauthorities having jurisdiction.
Use a separate, fused branch electrical circuit containing a properly
sized fuse or circuit breaker for this furnace. See Table 4 for wire
size and fuse specifications. A disconnecting means must be
located within sight from and readily accessible to furnace.
NOTE:
Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring. If
polarity is incorrect, control center fault code indicator light will
flash rapidly and furnace will NOT operate.
