for proper
condensate drainage.
Supply Air Connections
NOTE:
For downflow applications, this furnace is approved for use on
combustible flooring when any one of the following accessories are
used:
• Special Base, NAHA01101SB
• Cased Coil Assembly Part No. EAM4X, END4X, ENW4X, EAD4X
• Coil Casing model number NAEA
1. Determine application being installed from
.
2. Construct hole in floor per
3. Construct plenum to dimensions specified in
.
4. Install special base coil assembly or coil box as shown in
.
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
.
Connect supply-air duct to supply-air outlet on furnace. Bend flange
inward past 90° with wide duct pliers. See
. 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
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
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
Horizontal Installation
NOTE:
The furnace must be pitched forward as shown in
for
proper condensate drainage.
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.
