4.3.3  Installation Location Checklist 

 

The furnace is not exposed to corrosive compounds in the air. 

 

The furnace location complies with the required clearances. 

 

The planned venting termination/air intake location meets the clearances. 

 

Indoor air is not being used for combustion. 

 

A standard 3 prong 120 VAC, 60 Hz properly grounded wall outlet is available.  

 

The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the 

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane 

Installation Code, CSA B149.1. If installed in a manufactured home, the installation must 

conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, 

Part 3280 and/or CAN/SCA Z240 MH Series, Mobile Homes.
