Contact your local dealer for more information on the options available for your furnace and to order furnace 

replacement parts through your local dealer. Identify parts by referring to components on pages 8, 9 and 23. 

Furnace replacement parts must be purchased through Pro-Fab Industries by your dealer in order to maintain the 

furnace warranty.

ash rake and Brush Hanger assembly

Ash Rake and Brush Hanger is supplied, as well as two  

#12 x ¾” screws used to mount it. Hanger can be mounted  

on a convenient location near the furnace or mounted directly  

on the furnace. If mounting on the furnace, do so in the  

location indicated in Figure 1 in order to avoid screws  

interfering with electrical or the water jacket. Do not use 

 

screws longer than ¾”.
