General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the
following general recommendations must be considered
when installing one of these furnaces:
•
Place the furnace as close to the center of the air
distribution system as possible. The furnace should also
be located close to the chimney or vent termination point.
•
Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow directly
into it. This could cause improper combustion.
•
Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
•
When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated
space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates
these additional requirements:
•
Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumber
or fitter only.
•
The gas cock must be “T handle” type.
•
When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passageway
to and service area surrounding the equipment shall be
floored.
Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient
outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air
that was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction
practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside for
combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance
vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air that could
be used for combustion out of the house. Unless outside
air is brought into the house for combustion, negative
pressure (outside pressure is greater than inside pressure)
will build to the point that a downdraft can occur in the furnace
vent pipe or chimney. As a result, combustion gases enter
the living space creating a potentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion
and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in this
section to install these furnaces to ensure efficient and safe
operation. You must consider combustion air needs and
requirements for exhaust vents and other gas appliances.

WARNING
CAUTION
DO NOT install the furnace in a corrosive or
contaminated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and
ventilation air requirements, as well as all local codes.
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting
and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive
exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in
safety and performance related problems. Avoid
exposure to the following substances in the combustion
air supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
