Locating & Cutting Floor Openings
Floor cut-outs must be carefully located to avoid
misalignment of the furnace and air duct. Standard and
round cutouts for upflow furnaces are shown in
The cutouts for downflow furnaces are shown in
.
1. Measure and mark the centerline of the cutout. Provide
minimum clearances at rear and right side walls of closet
or alcove for installation of furnace and wiring.
2. Using the centerline as a starting point, draw the rest
of the duct cut-out to the dimensions shown in
NOTE: Additional provisions may be necessary for
optional air conditioning or heat pump if refrigerant
lines are installed elsewhere than at the front of the
furnace. The refrigerant and entrance supply opening
dimensions may be adjusted ± 1/2”.
3. Cut out the floor opening 1/16” larger than the actual
cutout drawn. This will allow some clearance when
installing the duct connector.
4. Measure from the top of the floor down to the top of the
supply air duct to obtain the depth of the floor cavity.
NOTE:
The depth of the floor cavity (shown as “X”) in
will determine the correct duct connector.
