4. Install special base coil assembly or coil box as shown in in
Fig. 25.
NOTE
: It is recommended that the perforated supply--air duct
flanges be completely removed from furnace when installing the
furnace on a factory--supplied cased coil or coil box. To remove the
supply--air duct flange, use wide duct pliers or hand seamers to
bend flange back and forth until it breaks off. Be careful of sharp
edges. See Fig. 20.
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care
and wear appropriate protective clothing, safety glasses and
gloves when handling parts, and servicing furnaces.
CAUTION
!
Connect supply--air duct to supply--air outlet on furnace. Bend
flange inward past 90
_
with wide duct pliers See Fig. 20. The
supply--air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace supply
outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used). When installed
on combustible material, supply--air duct must be connected to
ONLY
the
factory--approved
accessory
subbase,
or
a
factory--approved air conditioning coil casing.
DO NOT
cut main
furnace casing to attach supply side air duct, humidifier, or other
accessories. All supply--side accessories MUST be connected to
duct external to furnace casing.
Return Air Connections
FIRE HAZARD
A failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury,
death and/or property damage.
Never connect return--air ducts to the back of the furnace.
Follow instructions below.
!
WARNING
The return--air duct must be connected to return--air opening
(bottom inlet).
DO NOT
cut into casing sides (left or right).
Bypass humidifier connections should be made at ductwork or coil
casing sides exterior to furnace. See Fig. 22.
Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return--air opening. Remove and discard this panel when
bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel,see Fig.
24.
Horizontal Installation
NOTE:
The furnace must be pitched forward as shown in Fig. 19
for proper condensate drainage.
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with
control compartment facing downward. Safety control
operation will be adversely affected. Never connect
return--air ducts to the back of the furnace.

WARNING
MINOR PROPERTY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor property
damage.
Local codes may require a drain pan under entire furnace and
condensate trap when a condensing furnace is used in an attic
application or over a finished ceiling.
CAUTION
!
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawlspace
on either the left--hand (LH) or right--hand (RH) side. The furnace
can be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or installed on a
non--combustible platform, blocks, bricks or pad.
Supply Air Connections
For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct shall
be provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall be
accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size
that the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings using
light assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the air
stream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks.
Connect supply--air duct to flanges on furnace supply--air outlet.
Bend flange upward to 90
_
with wide duct pliers. See Fig. 20. The
supply--air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace
supply--outlet--air duct flanges or air conditioning coil casing
(when used).
DO NOT
cut main furnace casing side to attach
supply air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All supply--side
accessories MUST be connected to duct external to furnace main
casing.
Return Air Connections
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component
damage.
Return air connections to either side of the furnace in the
horizontal position can result in nuisance limit switch tripping.
Use only the factory bottom opening of the furnace for the
return air connection.
CAUTION
!
The return--air duct can only be connected to bottom of the
furnace.
The sides of casing cannot be used for return air
connection. See Fig. 23.
Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return--air opening. Remove and discard this panel when
bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, see Fig.
24.
Side Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in
bottom return--air opening. This panel MUST be in place when
side return air inlet(s) are used without a bottom return air inlet.
Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air
connections See Fig. 23. Where required by code, seal bottom
closure to furnace with tape, mastic, or other durable sealing
method.
