CAUTION:
Connect the gas pipe to the furnace using a
backup wrench to avoid damaging gas controls.
Install a sediment trap in the riser leading to the furnace. The trap
can be installed by connecting a tee to the riser leading from the
furnace. Connect a capped nipple into the lower end of the tee. The
capped nipple should extend below the level of the gas controls.
(See Fig. 8.)
Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only to the male
threads of each joint. The compound must be resistant to the action
of propane gas.
An accessible manual shutoff valve MUST be installed upstream
of the furnace gas controls and within 72 in. of the furnace. A
1/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection,
MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the furnace and downstream of the manual shutoff
valve. Place ground joint union between the gas control manifold
and the manual shutoff valve.
Piping should be pressure tested in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before the furnace has been
attached. If the pressure exceeds 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), the gas
supply pipe must be disconnected from the furnace and capped
before the pressure test. If the test pressure is equal to or less than
0.5 psig (14-in. wc), turn off electric shutoff switch located on the
gas valve before the test. It is recommended that the ground joint
union be loosened before pressure testing. After all connections
have been made, purge the lines and check for leakage with
regulated gas supply pressure.
WARNING:
Never purge a gas line into a combustion
chamber. Never use matches, candles, flame, or other
sources of ignition for the purpose of checking leakage.
Use a soap-and-water solution to check for leakage.
Failure to follow this warning can cause a fire, explosion,
personal injury, or death.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A.
115-v Wiring
Refer to the furnace rating plate or Table 5 for equipment electrical
requirements. The control system requires an earth ground for
proper operation.
CAUTION:
Do not connect aluminum wire between
disconnect switch and furnace. Use only copper wire.
Make all electrical connections in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and local codes or
ordinances that might apply. For Canadian installations, all elec-
trical connections must be made in accordance with CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code, or authorities having jurisdiction.
WARNING:
The cabinet MUST have an uninterrupted
or unbroken ground according to NEC, ANSI/NFPA
70-1999 and Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 or
local codes to minimize personal injury if an electrical
fault should occur. This may consist of electrical wire or
conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in
accordance with existing electrical codes. Do not use gas
piping as an electrical ground. Failure to follow this
warning could result in electrical shock, fire, or death.
The auxiliary junction box (J-box) can be moved to the left-hand
side of the furnace when a left-side power supply is desired.
Remove the 2 screws holding the auxiliary J-box. Mount the J-box
on the left-hand side of the furnace (holes have been pre-drilled in
casing). When moved, tuck the wiring harness behind the clip
provided to keep extra wire lengths out of the way.
