3.
The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters,
or elevator shafts.
4.
The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per
15 feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the
furnace. The piping must be supported at proper
intervals [every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with
suitable hangers or straps. Install a drip leg in vertical
pipe runs to the unit.
5.
A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located
on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection.
See Figure 27.
6.
In some localities, codes may require the installation
of a manual main shut off valve and union (furnished
by the installer) external to the unit. The union must be
of the ground joint type.
IMPORTANT
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must
be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gases.
NOTE: If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the
main manual gas valve and disconnect main power to the
furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.
Leak Check
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all field-
installed piping connections for gas leaks. Use a
commercially available leak detecting solution specifically
manufactured for leak detection. Never use an open flame
to test for gas leaks.
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing the individual manual shut-off valve
during any gas supply system at pressures greater than
or equal to 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.). This
furnace and its components are designed, manufactured
and independently certified to comply with all applicable
ANSI/CSA standards. A leak check of the furnace and its
components is not required.
Figure 27.
IMPORTANT
When testing pressure of gas lines, gas valve must be
disconnected and isolated. See Figure 27. Gas valves
can be damaged if subjected to pressures greater than
1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check
all connections using a commercially available soap
solution made specifically for leak detection. Some
soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to certain
metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after leak test
has been completed.
Electrical
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and service
to protect the furnace's electronic controls. Precautions
will help to avoid control exposure to electrostatic
discharge by putting the furnace, the control and the
technician at the same electrostatic potential. Neutralize
electrostatic charge by touching hand and all tools on
an unpainted unit surface, such as the gas valve or
blower deck, before performing any service procedure.
The unit is equipped with a field make-up box on the left
hand side of the cabinet. The make-up box may be moved
to the right side of the furnace to facilitate installation. If
the make-up box is moved to the right side, clip the wire
ties that bundle the wires together. The excess wire must
be pulled into the blower compartment. Secure the excess
wire to the existing harness to protect it from damage.
Refer to Figure 31 for schematic wiring diagram and
troubleshooting.
The power supply wiring must meet Class I restrictions.
Protected by either a fuse or circuit breaker, select circuit
protection and wire size according to unit nameplate.
