In order to ensure proper unit operation in non-direct vent
applications, combustion and ventilation air supply must
be provided according to the current National Fuel Gas
Code or CSA-B149 standard.
Locations and Clearances
This furnace is CSA International certified for installation
clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit
nameplate and in the table in Figure 13. Accessibility
and service clearances must take precedence over fire
protection clearances.
NOTE:
When furnace is installed on a combustible floor,
a downflow combustible flooring base must be installed
between the furnace and the floor.
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must be
installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source are
located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor.
The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical
damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed in a public
garage, hangar, or other building that has a hazardous
atmosphere, the furnace must be installed according to
recommended good practice requirements and current
National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standards.
NOTE:
Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature
rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate.
Failure to do so may cause erratic limit operation and
premature heat exchanger failure.
This gas furnace must be installed so that its electrical
components are protected from water.
Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units (Figure 3),
it shall be installed in parallel with, or on the upstream
side of, cooling units to avoid condensation in the heating
compartment. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper
(or other means to control the flow of air) must adequately
prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper
is manually operated, it must be equipped to prevent
operation of either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it
is in the full
HEAT
or
COOL
setting.
When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes. In addition, in the United States,
installation must conform with the current National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric
Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following
address:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
In Canada, all electrical wiring and grounding for the unit
must be installed according to the current regulations of
the Canadian Electrical Code Part I (CSA Standard C22.1)
and/or local codes.

NOTE:
This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous
return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermittent
operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where a
night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature
must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.
This gas furnace may be installed in alcoves, closets,
attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms.
This furnace design has NOT been CSA certified for
installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or
outdoors.
Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check all
connections using a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for leak detection.
Use of Furnace as a Construction Heater
Units may be used for heating of buildings or structures
under construction, if the following conditions are met to
ensure proper operation.
DO NOT USE THE UNIT FOR CONSTRUCTION HEAT
UNLESS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA ARE
MET:
a.
Furnace must be in its final location. The vent system
must be permanently installed per these installation
instructions.
b. Furnace must be installed as a two pipe system
and one hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must
be provided for combustion air requirements during
construction.
c. A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use
of fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is
prohibited.
d. The input rate and temperature rise must be set per
the furnace rating plate.
e. Supply and Return air ducts must be provided and
sealed to the furnace. Return air must be terminated
outside of the space where furnace is installed.
