3.4 MULTI - POSITION
The Compact-multi is designed to operate in the conventional upflow 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 nuts.
3.5 PLACEMENT, VENTING & VENTILATION
Furnace installation should conform to the required installation code for oil-fired
equipment (USA: NFPA 31, Canada: CSA B139).
UPFLOW
The furnace may be placed on a combustible floor or, if required,
on four rigid blocks. The floor must be strong enough to carry the
weight of the furnace.
DOWNFLOW
Install the plenum and sub base as shown in the illustration
(included with sub base). 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.
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.
