checked for screws or bolts which may have loosened in transit. 
There are no shipping or spacer brackets which need to be 
removed before startup. 

 

FURNACE LOCATION AND CLEARANCES 

The furnace shall be located using the following guidelines 
1.

 

Where a minimum amount of air intake/vent piping 
(smallest roof jack) will be required. 

2.

 

As centralized with the air distribution as possible. 

3.

 

Where adequate combustion air will be available 
(particularly when appliance is not using outdoor air for 
combustion air). 

4.

 

Where it will not interfere with proper air circulation in the 
confined space. 

5.

 

Where the outdoor combustion air/ vent terminal will not be 
blocked or restricted. Refer to combustion air/ vent 
instructions located in Section VI. These minimum 
clearances must be maintained throughout the installation. 

6.

 

Where the appliance will be installed in a level position 
with no more than ¼” (0.6 cm) slope side to side and front 
to back to provide proper condensate drainage. 

INSTALLATION IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES 

1.

 

Furnace shall be installed in an area where ventilation 
facilities provide for safe limits of ambient temperature 
under normal operating conditions. Ambient temperatures 
must not fall below 32° F (0° C) unless the condensate 
system is protected from freezing. 

2.

 

Do not allow the return air temperature to be below 55°F 
(13°C) for extended periods. To do so may cause 
condensate to occur in the main heat exchanger, leading to 
premature heat exchanger failure. 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

CLEARANCES FOR ACCESS 

Ample clearances should be provided to permit easy access to 
the appliance. The following minimum clearances are 
recommended. 
1.

 

Twenty-four (24) inches (61 cm) between the front of the 
furnace and an adjacent wall or other appliance, when 
access is required for servicing or cleaning. 

2.

 

Eighteen (18) inches (46 cm) at the side where access is 
required for passage to the front when servicing or for 
inspection or replacement of the flue/vent connections. 

 

 

Table 1: Furnace Clearances to Combustibles 

 

INSTALLATION IN A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE 

A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must 
be installed as specified in these instructions. For installation in 
a residential garage, the furnace must be installed so the gas 
burner(s) and the ignition source are located not less than 18 
inches (46 cm) above the floor. The appliance must be located 
or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles.

LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE HAZARD 

Improper installation in an ambient temperature that is 
consistently below 55°F (13°C) could result in a hazard 
resulting in premature heat exchanger failure, a fire, 
property damage, personal injury or loss of life. 

DO NOT store any chemicals or volatile fluids around the 
appliance. This is a very dangerous practice that must be 
avoided.  

 

Storing chemicals around the appliance can lead to heat 
exchanger corrosion which will cause premature heat 
exchanger failure, which may result in personal injury, 
substantial property damage or death. 

 

Storing volatile fluids around the appliance can lead to an 
explosion which can cause substantial property damage 
that may result in personal injury, or death.
