Building Codes
In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with
local building codes. In the absence of local codes, units
must be installed according to the current National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54). The National Fuel Gas
Code is available from the American National Standards
Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036.
In Canada, installation must conform with current National
Standard of Canada CSA-B149 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes, local plumbing or waste water codes
and other applicable local codes.
In order to ensure proper unit operation in non-direct vent
applications, combustion and ventilation air supply must
be provided according to the current National Fuel Gas
Code or CSA-B149 standard.
Installed Locations
This furnace is CSA International certified for installation
clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit
nameplate and in the table in Figure 12 and Figure 18.
Accessibility and service clearances must take precedence
over fire protection clearances.
NOTE:
For installation on combustible floors, the furnace
shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material other than wood flooring.
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must be
installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source are
located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor.
The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical
damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed in a public
garage, hangar, or other building that has a hazardous
atmosphere, the furnace must be installed according to
recommended good practice requirements and current
National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standards.
NOTE:
Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature
rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate.
Failure to do so may cause erratic limit operation and
premature heat exchanger failure.
This furnace must be installed so that its electrical
components are protected from water.
Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units (Figure 4),
it shall be installed in parallel with, or on the upstream
side of, cooling units to avoid condensation in the heating
compartment. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper
(or other means to control the flow of air) must adequately
prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper
is manually operated, it must be equipped to prevent
operation of either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it
is in the full HEAT or COOL setting.
When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes. In addition, in the United States,
installation must conform with the current National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric
Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following
address:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
In Canada, all electrical wiring and grounding for the unit
must be installed according to the current regulations of
the Canadian Electrical Code Part I (CSA Standard C22.1)
and/or local codes.

NOTE:
This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous
return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermittent
operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where a
night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature
must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.
This furnace may be installed in alcoves, closets, attics,
basements, garages, and utility rooms in the upflow or
horizontal position.
This furnace design has not been CSA certified for
installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or
outdoors.
