All installations must be vented in accordance with National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1—latest edition. In Canada, the
furnaces must be vented in accordance with the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2—
latest editions and amendments.
NOTE: The vertical height of the Category I venting system must
be at least as great as the horizontal length of the venting system.
WARNING
To prevent possible personal injury or death, due to
asphyxiation, common venting with other manufacturer's

induced draft appliances is not allowed.
The minimum vent diameter for the Category I venting system is
as shown in the Minimum Vent chart.

Under some conditions, larger vents than those shown in the
Minimum Vent chart may be required or allowed. When an
existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other
appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent
the remaining attached appliances.
Upflow or horizontal units are shipped with the induced draft
blower discharging from the top of the furnace. ("Top" is as
viewed for an upflow installation.) The induced draft blower can
be rotated 90 degrees with the Chimney Transition Bottom kit
(0270F01119) for Category I venting. For horizontal installations,
a 4" (10.2 cm) single-wall pipe can be used to extend the induced
draft blower outlet ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) beyond the furnace cabinet.
NOTE: This product is not designed for counterclockwise
induced draft blower rotation.
Vent the furnace in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1—latest edition. In Canada, vent the
furnace in accordance with the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2—latest editions and
amendments.
Venting—Furnace Installed in Horizontal Position
NOTE: This furnace is not design certified to be horizontally
vented through an exterior side wall.
The following describes an optional venting procedure when the
furance is installed in the horizontal left discharge position.
To rotate the induced draft blower clockwise, you will need to
purchase one chimney transition bottom kit (Part Number
0270F01119).
1. Disconnect electrical power from the furnace.
2. Disconnect the induced draft blower power leads, flue pipe
and pressure switch tubing.
3. Remove the round cutout from the right side of the wrapper.
4. Remove and save the 4 screws that fasten the induced draft
blower to the flue collector box.
5. Remove and save the 3 screws that hold the chimney
assembly to the induced draft blower.
6. Remove and save the 4 screws that fasten the chimney top to

15. Reconnect electrical power to the furnace.
NOTE: In a horizontal installation, the air conditioning coil must
be adequately supported by the proper brackets and supports.
Inadequate coil support can result in furnace cabinet distortion
and air leakage.
An exterior masonry chimney is defined as a "Masonry chimney
exposed to the outdoors on one or more sides below the roof
line." The ability to use a clay-lined masonry chimney depends on
a parameter not associated with interior chimneys. This variable
is the geographic location of the installation. Researchers have
discovered that the winter design temperatures have a direct
impact on the suitability of this type of venting. In most situations,
the existing masonry chimneys will require a properly-sized
metallic liner.
Counterflow units are shipped with the induced draft blower
discharging from the top (as viewed for a counterflow installation)
of the furnace.
Vent the furnace in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1—latest edition. In Canada, vent the
furnace in accordance with the National Standard of Canada,
CAN/CSA B149.1 AND CAN/CSA B149.2—latest editions and
amendments.
