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.
f. Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C)
and 80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
g.
MERV 11 or greater air filters must be installed in
the system and must be regularly inspected and
maintained (e.g., regular static checks and replaced at
end of life) during construction.
h. Blower and vestibule access panels must be in place
on the furnace at all times.
i.
The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct
system, and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following final construction clean−up.
j.
Air filters must be replaced upon construction
completion.
k. All furnace operating conditions (including ignition,

General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the
following general recommendations must be considered
when installing one of these furnaces:
• Place the furnace as close to the center of the air
distribution system as possible. The furnace should
also be located close to the vent termination point.
• When the furnace is installed in non-direct vent
applications, do not install the furnace where drafts
might blow directly into it. This could cause improper
combustion and unsafe operation.
• When the furnace is installed in a non-direct vent
applications, do not block the furnace combustion air
opening with clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed
for proper combustion and safe unit operation.
• When the furnace is installed in an attic or other
insulated space, keep insulation away from the
furnace.
• When the furnace is installed in an unconditioned
space, consider provisions required to prevent freezing
of the condensate drain system.
NOTE:
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates
these additional requirements:
• Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumber
or fitter only.
• The gas cock must be “T handle” type.
• When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passageway
to and service area surrounding the equipment shall
be floored.
These units should not be installed in areas normally
subject to freezing temperatures.
