Existing Installations

 When an existing furnace is removed from a vent system 
serving other appliances, the existing vent system may 
not be sized properly to vent the remaining appliances 
(Example: water heater). An improperly sized venting 
system can result in the formation of condensate, leakage, 
or spillage. The existing vent system should be checked 
to make sure it is in compliance with NFGC, ANSI Z223.1, 
or CAN/CGA B149 and must be brought into compliance 
before installing the furnace.

NOTE: If replacing an existing furnace, it is possible you 
will encounter an existing plastic venting system that is 
subject to a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall. 
The pipes involved in the recall are High Temperature 
Plastic Vent (HTPV). 

If your venting system contains 

these pipes

 

DO NOT reuse this venting system!

 This 

recall does not apply to other plastic vent pipes, such 
as white PVC or CPVC. Check for details on the CPSC 
website or call their toll-free number (800) 758-3688.

Concentric Vent Termination

A concentric vent termination (kit # 904953) is approved 
for use with these furnaces. Please follow the installation 
instructions provided with the kit for proper installation.

Condensate Disposal

The method for disposing of condensate varies according 
to local codes. Consult your local code or authority having 
jurisdiction. Neutralizer kit P/N 902377 is available for 
use with this furnace. 

Please follow the instructions 

provided with the kit.

This furnace has multiple options for positioning the vent 
pipe as described in the Inducer & Venting Options section 
(

page 20

). Each of the condensate drain lines must be 

J-trapped using field supplied parts.

After the condensate lines are J-trapped, they may be 
combined together when routed to the drain. Avoid areas 
where condensate drainage may cause problems by 
dropping onto planters, patios, etc.

NOTE: Industry research studies indicate that when 
condensate is routed to an active drain, household 
detergents, etc., buffer its acidity. If the drain is not actively 
used or if codes require, obtain a neutralizer kit (usually 
contains limestone). Proper drains and connections to the 
condensate tubing are required as NORDYNE cannot be 
held responsible for water leakage which occurs due to 
loose hose connections or improperly sealed drain line 
pipes.

CIRCULATING AIR REQUIREMENTS

 WARNING:

Do not allow combustion products to enter the 

circulating  air  supply.  Failure  to  prevent  the 

circulation  of  combustion  products  into  the 

living space can create potentially hazardous 

conditions  including  carbon  monoxide 

poisoning that could result in personal injury 

or death.

All  return  ductwork  must  be  secured  to 

the  furnace  with  sheet  metal  screws.  For 

installations  in  confined  spaces,  all  return 

ductwork  must  be  adequately  sealed.  When 

return air is provided through the bottom of the 

furnace, the joint between the furnace and the 

return air plenum must be air tight.

The surface that the furnace is mounted on must 

provide sound physical support of the furnace 

with no gaps, cracks or sagging between the 

furnace and the floor or platform.

Return  air  and  circulating  air  ductwork  must 

not be connected to any other heat producing 

device such as a fireplace insert, stove, etc. This 

may result in fire, explosion, carbon monoxide 

poisoning, personal injury, or property damage.

Plenums & Air Ducts

•  Plenums and air ducts must be installed in accordance 

with the Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning 
and Ventilating Systems (NFPA No. 90A) or the 
Standard for the Installation of Warm Air Heating and 
Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA No. 90B).

• 

Table 7 (page 38)

 contains the maximum airflow 

and temperature rise data for each furnace input rate. 
NOTE: If the maximum airflow is 1,600 CFM or more, 
it is recommended that two openings be used for return 
air on upflow furnaces. Downflow furnaces can only use 
one return opening.

•  It  is  recommended  that  the  outlet  duct  contain  a 

removable access panel. The opening should be 
accessible when the furnace is installed in service and 
shall be of a size that smoke or refelcted light may be 
observed inside the casing to indicate the presence of 
leaks in the heat exchanger. The cover for the opening 
shall be attached in such a manner as to prevent leaks.

•  If  outside  air  is  used  as  return  air  to  the  furnace  for 

ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the system 
must be designed so that the return air is not less than 
60° F (15° C) during operation. If a combination of indoor 
and outdoor air is used, the ducts and damper system 
must be designed so that the return air supply to the
