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.

THE
MANUFACTURER'S
•
When the furnace is installed in 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 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.
Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
If this unit is installed as a Non-Direct Vent Furnace, follow
the guidelines in this section.
NOTE: In Non-Direct Vent Installations, combustion air is
taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient
outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air
that was needed. In today's homes, tight construction
practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside
for combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans,
appliance vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional
air that could be used for combustion out of the house.
Unless outside air is brought into the house for combustion,
negative pressure (outside pressure is greater than inside
pressure) will build to the point that a down draft can
occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result,
combustion gases enter the living space creating a
potentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion
and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in this
section to install these furnaces to ensure efficient and safe
operation. You must consider combustion air needs and
requirements for exhaust vents and gas piping. A portion
