2.4 MULTI – POSITION
The Summit-multi is designed to operate in the conventional uplfow mode, in horizontal mode
or as a downflow furnace. The breech is convertible from front to rear by switching the breech
pipe and cover plates. The burner is always installed in an upright position by four (4) nuts.
2.5 PLACEMENT & VENTING
Furnace installation shall conform to the required installation code for oil-fired equipment (USA:
NFPA 31, Canada: CSA B139).
UPFLOW
If required, support furnace on a Granby Appliance Stand or four (4)
concrete blocks. Make sure each corner of furnace base is supported.
For a furnace installed on a combustible floor, ensure that the
requirements of the authorities having jurisdiction are satisfied. Floor must
be strong enough to carry the weight of the furnace. The furnace is
shipped in upflow configuration.
DOWNFLOW
Install the plenum and sub-base as shown in the illustration (included with
sub-base kit K6C-KA-0500-00). For furnaces installed on a combustible
floor, ensure that the requirements of the authorities having jurisdiction are
satisfied. The floor must be strong enough to carry the weight of the
furnace. A sub-base is required to support the furnace, maintains the
clearances to combustible materials through the floor and provides a
convenient attachment to the plenum. Refer to Figure – 7.
HORIZONTAL
In suspended horizontal positions use the eyebolts provided in kit (K4C-
KA-0200-00). For installations where the furnace will be supported from
below, use 4” long 3/8” UNC bolts as adjustable legs. Four weld nuts (3/8
- 16 UNC) are concealed behind knockouts on either side of the furnace.
Determine the appropriate side and remove the knockouts. Eyebolts
complete with locking nuts are available. The locking nuts should be
threaded on the eyebolt 3/4” to 1”. This provides a stop for the eyebolt.
CLEARANCES
Before placing unit, review installations clearances as shown on the
furnace operating decal and in section
7.0 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
.
LOCATION
Install the furnace close to chimney or vent and central to ductwork.
BREECH
Move the breech pipe to the rear if rear breech is required.
CHIMNEY/VENT
Connect the furnace to a chimney/vent system of size and condition
required by the installation code. Furnace is approved for factory built
chimney type “L” vents. See the furnace operating decal for approved
vent/flue pipe sizes. Maximum flue gas temperature is 575°F.
WALL VENTING
Furnace is approved for Granby Direct Vent with Riello burner.
