Setting Equipment
WARNING
Do not install the furnace on its front or its back. Do
not connect the return air ducts to the back of the fur-
nace. Doing so will adversely affect the operation of
the safety control devices, which could result in per-
sonal injury or death.
The G60UHV(X) gas furnace can be installed as shipped in
either the upflow position or the horizontal position, with
right-hand or left-hand air discharge.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection, and
installation and service clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at
unit front].
The unit must be level.
NOTE − Units with 1/2 hp blower motors are equipped with
three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg is
equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic wash-
er (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used with a
flexible mounting leg).
The bolt and washer must be re-
moved before the furnace is placed into operation.
Af-
ter the bolt and washer have been removed, the rigid leg
will not touch the blower housing.
NOTE − G60UHV−60D−135 units are equipped with a ship-
ping pad under the blower housing. Remove the shipping
pad prior to operation.
Upflow Applications
Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated
on the unit nameplate. Minimum clearances for closet or al-
cove installations are shown in figure 6.
