*Minimum opening size is 100 in.2 with minimum dimensions of 3 in. (76 mm).
*Minimum of 3 in. (76 mm), when type -B1 vent is used.

2. An attic or crawlspace may be considered a space that freely
communicates with the outdoors provided there are adequate
permanent ventilation openings directly to outdoors having free
area of at least 1-in.
2
/4,000 Btuh of total input rating for all gas
appliances in the space.
3. In spaces that use the
Indoor Combustion Air Method
, infiltration
should be adequate to provide air for combustion, permanent
ventilation and dilution of flue gases. However, in buildings with
unusually tight construction, additional air
MUST
be provided
using the methods described in the
Outdoor Combustion Air
Method
section.
4. Unusually tight construction is defined as construction with:
a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outdoors have a continuous,
sealed vapor barrier. Openings are gasketed or sealed and
b. Doors and openable windows are weatherstripped and
c. Other openings are caulked or sealed. These include joints
around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors,
between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations
for plumbing, electrical and gas lines, etc.
Combination of Indoor and Outdoor Air
1. Indoor openings shall comply with the Indoor Combustion Air
Method below and,
2. Outdoor openings shall be located as required in the Outdoor
Combustion Air Method mentioned previously and,
3. Outdoor openings shall be sized as follows:
a. Calculate the Ratio of all Indoor Space volume divided by
required volume for Indoor Combustion Air Method below.
b. Outdoor opening size reduction Factor is 1 minus the Ratio in a.
above.
c. Minimum size of Outdoor openings shall be the size required in
Outdoor Combustion Air Method above multiplied by reduction
Factor in b. above. The minimum dimension of air openings shall
be not less than 3 in. (80 mm).
INSTALLATION
UPFLOW INSTALLATION
Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom
return-air opening. Remove and discard this panel when bottom return
air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, perform the following:
1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove two screws holding bottom filler
panel see
.
A10273
Fig. 9 – Removing Bottom Closure Panel
2. Rotate bottom filler panel downward to release holding tabs.
3. Remove bottom closure panel.
4. Reinstall bottom filler panel and screws.
Side Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom
return-air opening. This panel
MUST
be in place when only side return
air is used.
NOTE:
Side return-air openings can be used in UPFLOW and most
HORIZONTAL configurations. Do not use side return-air openings in
DOWNFLOW configuration.
