RETURN AIR FILTERS FOR UPFLOW FURNACE IN
HORIZONTAL CONFIGURATION
When the Upflow Furnace is installed in the horizontal
configuration, the return air filters must be installed ex-
terior to the furnace cabinet. Remote filter grilles may be
used for homeowner convenience or the filters may be
installed in the duct work upstream of the furnace. See
Figure 17.
Conversion kits for horizontal filters are BAYFLTR203 for
17 1/2" width cabinets, BAYFLTR204 for 21" width cabi-
nets, and BAYFLTR205 for 24" width cabinets. These in-
clude filters and brackets necessary for horizontal filters.
See Figure 19, Downflow/Horizontal.

BAYRACK960
The following checklist should be used when installing a
right or left side return filter on an upflow furnace:
a. Remove the filter.
b. Leave the bottom panel in place.
c. Make side cutout by following the directions in the
“Return Air Duct Connections” section on page 10.
d. Compress the filter rack and reinstall in the side
position on the furnace. Confirm that the upper
retaining pin/screw locks into the engagement
hole in the blower deck and the lower pin/screw
rests against the side of the bottom panel. See
Figures 13-16.
e. Reinstall the furnace filter in the side position by
inserting the chamfer end first into the filter rack.
