3.  Move cap from inducer-pan port F, located in lower 

right-hand corner of inducer pan, to port C, located in 
upper right-hand corner of inducer pan. 

4.  From underside of casing, insert drain trap through 

hole in casing, port B end first.  Slide trap toward 
inducer pan with casing between trap mounting guides.  
Use first set of guides for 17 1/2” and 23 1/2” wide 
models.  Use second set of guides for 20 1/2” wide 
models.  Trap will protrude into casing with port B 
pointed toward inducer-pan-drain port F.  Port A of trap 
will be outside of casing and pointed toward front of 
furnace. 

5.  Cut condensate hose to a length of 4 1/2 inches.  

Attach hose and one hose clamp to port B of drain trap.  
Attach other end of condensate hose and hose clamp 
to inducer pan drain port F. 

6.  Complete installation of condensate drain system from 

condensate trap (port A) with field supplied parts. 

SECTION 6.  INSTALLING GAS 
PIPING 

PREPARATION 

Refer to the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes and 
local codes for gas piping requirements and sizing.  Pipe 
size running to furnace depends on: 

??

Length of pipe 

??

Number of fittings  

??

Specific gravity of gas 

??

Input requirements (Btu per hour) of all gas -fired 

appliances attached to same main supply line. 

Plan furnace gas supply piping so it will not interfere with 
removal of burner assembly, front door or blower door for 
servicing. 

Make sure gas piping is large enough for all appliances 
connected to it to operate at once without lowering gas 
supply pressure.   Failure to do so could cause lighting or 
burning problems on any of the appliances. 

Always use a pipe thread compound that is resistant to 
propane (LP) gas solvent action.  Sparingly apply thread 
compound to all joints on male threads only, starting two 
threads from the end. 

INSTALLATION 

Gas supply piping can be installed from either side of 
furnace casing.  Install gas supply piping according to 
Figure 24 and the following instructions. 

1.  Install a 4-inch long x 1/2” NPT black-iron pipe nipple 

through gas entry grommet and into gas -control inlet 
elbow.  Install a black iron pipe elbow on 4 -inch nipple.  
Tighten gas tight.  Do not over tighten. 

2.  Install a ground-joint union and a drip leg immediately 

upstream of the fu rnace.  Ground-joint union allows 
easy servicing of burner assembly and fu rnace gas 
control.  Ground-joint union must be listed by a 
nationally recognized testing laboratory. 

 

Figure 24. Gas Line Installation (downflow position shown). 

3.  Install a manual “equipment” shut-off valve in gas 

supply line immediately upstream of ground-joint union.  
Equipment shut-off valve must be listed by a nationally 
recognized testing laboratory. 

TESTING FOR LEAKS 

Isolate furnace and its gas control from gas supply line 
during leak checks.  Gas-supply line test pressure 
determines how you isolate gas control.
