NOTE: 

Heavy  gauge  perforated  sheet  metal  straps  may 

be  used  to  suspend  the  unit  from  roof  rafters  or  ceiling 

joists.  When  straps  are  used  to  suspend  the  unit  in  this 

way,  support  must  be  provided  for  both  the  ends.  The 

straps  must  not  interfere  with  the  plenum  or  exhaust 

piping installation. Cooling coils and supply and return air 

plenums must be supported separately.

NOTE: 

When  the  furnace  is  installed  on  a  platform  in  a 

crawlspace,  it  must  be  elevated  enough  to  avoid  water 

damage and to allow the evaporator coil to drain.

Return Air - Horizontal Applications

Return air must be brought in through the end of a furnace 

installed in a horizontal application. The furnace is equipped 

with a removable bottom panel to facilitate installation. See 

Figure 9.

Figure 13. Horizontal Application

Unit Installed on Platform

Improper installation of the furnace can result in 

personal injury or death. Combustion and flue products 

must never be allowed to enter the return air system or 

the living space. Use screws and joint tape to seal the 

return air system to the furnace.
In platform installations with bottom return air, the furnace 

should be sealed airtight to the return air plenum. A door 

must never be used as a portion of the return air duct 

system. The base must provide a stable support and an 

airtight seal to the furnace. Allow absolutely no sagging, 

cracks, gaps, etc..
The return and supply air duct systems must never 

be connected to or from other heating devices such 

as  a  fireplace  or  stove,  etc..  Fire,  explosion,  carbon 

monoxide  poisoning,  personal  injury  and/or  property 

damage could result.

 WARNING

The inner blower panel must be securely in place when 

the blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, 

which could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn 

into living space resulting in personal injury or death.

 WARNING

Filters

This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field provided 

high velocity filter is required for the unit to operate properly. 

Table 1 lists recommended filter sizes.

A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.

Table 1.  

Duct System

Use industry approved standards (such as those published 

by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or American 

Society  of  Heating,  Refrigerating  and  Air  Conditioning 

Engineers) to size and install the supply and return air duct 

system. This will result in a quiet and low static system that 

has uniform air distribution.

NOTE: 

Do  not  operate  the  furnace  in  the  heating  mode 

with  an  external  static  pressure  that  exceeds  0.8  inches 

w.c.  Higher  external  static  pressures  may  cause  erratic 

limit operation.

Supply Air Plenum

If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable 

access panel must be installed in the supply air duct. The 

access panel should be large enough to permit inspection 

(either by smoke or reflected light) of the heat exchanger 

for leaks after the furnace is installed. The furnace access 

panel must always be in place when the furnace is operating 

and it must not allow leaks into the supply air duct system.

Return Air Plenum

NOTE: 

Return air must not be drawn from a room where 

this furnace, or any other gas fueled appliance (i.e., water 

heater), or carbon monoxide producing device (i.e., wood 

fireplace) is installed.
