Insert cut section of vent/flue pipe and coupling into alternate
vent/flue location. Using a rubber coupling and worm gear
hose clamps from the drain kit bag, attach the vent/flue pipe
and coupling to the induced draft blower. Secure the coupling
to the cabinet using the screws removed in step 1 or with
field-supplied 3/8” #8 self drilling screws.

ONNECTIONS
If the standard locations are undesirable for a specific installation,
alternate side panel locations are available on the upflow models for
the vent/flue. Counterflow furnaces include provisions for both alter-
nate vent/flue and combustion air piping. These locations may be of
particular benefit to upright upflow installations requiring additional
access to an A coil, or to upright counterflow installations requiring
additional access to a filter or electronic air cleaner, or to horizontal
installations desiring vent/flue (upflow and counterflow) and combus-
tion air intake (counterflow only) piping run vertically from the side of
the cabinet.
NOTE:
Standard and alternate locations can be combined (i.e., an
installation may use the standard combustion air intake location
but use the alternate vent/flue location), if needed.

OCATION
The alternate vent/flue location is the large hole directly
in line with
the induced draft blower outlet. To use the alternate vent/flue
location refer to the following steps, the “Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts”
figure, and the “Alternate Vent/Flue Location” figure.
NOTE:
Counterflow instructions follow the upflow instructions.
1. Remove and save the four screws securing the vent/flue
coupling to the furnace top panel.
Counterflow
units.
1. Remove and save the four screws securing the vent/flue
coupling to the furnace basepan. Also remove the three
screws securing the furnace’s internal vent/flue piping to
the blower deck.
2.
Upflow
and
Counterflow
units
.
Loosen the worm gear hose clamps on the rubber elbow
and detach it from both the induced draft blower and the
vent/flue pipe.
3.

Counterflow
units
.
Remove the vent/flue pipe from the furnace.
4. Cut the vent/flue pipe 3.75 inches from the flanged end of
the pipe.
See Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts figure.
The section of
pipe attached to the coupling will reach through the side
panel to the induced draft blower. Discard remaining pipe
and elbows.
Counterflow
units.
Cut the vent/flue pipe 3.75 inches from the blower deck
coupling.
See Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts figure.
Save vent/flue pipe
attached to blower deck coupling for use in the alternate
location. Discard remaining pipe and elbows.
