•  When supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace 

to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the 
return air shall also be handled by duct(s) sealed to 
the furnace casing and terminating outside the space 
containing the furnace. See 

page 14

.

•  This furnace may not be used for temporary heating of 

buildings or structures under construction.

•  The  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  requires 

compliance with regulation 248 CMR 4.00 and 5.00 for 
installation of through – the – wall vented gas appliances 
as follows:

1. For direct-vent appliances, mechanical-vent heating 

appliances or domestic hot water equipment, where the 
bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake is installed 
below four feet above grade the following requirements 
must be satisfied:

a.)  A carbon monoxide (CO) detector and alarm shall 

be placed on each floor level where there are 
bedrooms. The detector shall comply with NFPA 
720 (2005 Edition) and be mounted in the living 
area outside the bedroom(s).

b.)  A (CO) detector shall be located in the room that 

houses the appliance or equipment and shall:

• Be powered by the same electrical circuit as the 

appliance or equipment. Only one service switch 
shall power the appliance and the (CO) detector;

• Have battery back-up power;
• Meet ANSI/UL 2034 Standards and comply with 

NFPA 720 (2005 Edition); and Approved and listed 
by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory as 
recognized under 527 CMR.

c.)  A Product-approved vent terminal must be used, 

and if applicable, a product-approved air intake must 
be used. Installation shall be in strict compliance 
with the manufacturer’s instructions. A copy of 
the installation instructions shall remain with the 
appliance or equipment at the completion of the 
installation.

d.) A metal or plastic identification plate shall be 

mounted at the exterior of the building, four feet 
directly above the location of vent terminal. The 
plate shall be of sufficient size, easily read from 
a distance of eight feet away, and read “Gas Vent 
Directly Below”.

2. For direct-vent appliances, mechanical-vent heating 

appliances or domestic hot water equipment where the 
bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake is installed 
above four feet above grade the following requirements 
must be satisfied:

a.)  A (CO) detector and alarm shall be placed on each 

floor level where there are bedrooms. The detector 
shall comply with NFPA 720 (2005 Edition) and be 
mounted in the living area outside the bedroom(s).

b.)  The (CO) detector shall:

• Be located in the room that houses the appliance 

or equipment;

• Be hard-wired or battery powered or both.
• Shall comply with NFPA 720 (2005 Edition).

c.)  A product-approved vent terminal must be used, 

and if applicable, a product-approved air intake must 
be used. Installation shall be in strict compliance 
with the manufacturer’s instructions. A copy of 
the installation instructions shall remain with the 
appliance or equipment at the completion of the 
installation.

Combustion Air Quality

 CAUTION:

Combustion  air  must  not  be  drawn  from  a 

corrosive atmosphere.

To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air 
must be free of chemicals that can form corrosive acidic 
compounds in the combustion gases. The recommended 
source of combustion air is to use outdoor air. However, 
the use of indoor air in most applications is acceptable 
except as listed:

•  If the furnace is 

a single pipe installation and installed 

in a confined space, it is required that the necessary 
combustion air come from the outdoors by way of attic, 
crawl space, air duct, or direct opening. See 

pages 

7

 - 

9

 for combustion air requirements.

•  Installations in these locations may require outdoor air 

for combustion, due to chemical exposures:

Commercial buildings
Buildings with indoor pools
Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms
Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas

•  Exposure to the following substances in the combustion 

air supply may require outdoor air for combustion:

Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon Tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric Acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners
Masonry acid washing materials
