INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Gas Furnace: (F/G)MAC

440 01 4201 01

Specifications subject to change without notice.

NOTE

: For applications using vent pipe option indicated by

dashed lines in

Figure 52

and

Figure 53

, rotate vent elbow 90

from position.

3. Disassemble loose pipe fittings. Clean and cement using

same procedures as used for system piping.

For Ventilated Combustion Air Terminations

, terminate as

shown in

Figure 53

(Direct Vent / 2-Pipe System ONLY)

When two or more furnaces are vented near each other, two

vent terminations may be installed as shown in

Figure 52

, but

next vent termination must be at least 36

−

in. (914 mm) away

from first two terminations. It is important that vent terminations

be made as shown in

Figure 52

to avoid recirculation of flue

gases.

Inducer Outlet Restrictor

The loose parts bag may contain an inducer outlet restrictor.

The outlet restrictor is NOT used on these furnaces. Discard

restrictor.
