Use of Furnace as a Construction Heater
Units may be used for heating of buildings or structures
under construction, if the following conditions are met to
ensure proper operation.
DO NOT USE THE UNIT FOR CONSTRUCTION HEAT
UNLESS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA ARE
MET:
a. Furnace must be in its final location. The vent system
must be permanently installed per these installation
instructions.
b. Furnace must be installed as a two pipe system
and one hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must
be provided for combustion air requirements during
construction.
c. A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use
of fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is
prohibited.
d. The input rate and temperature rise must be set per
the furnace rating plate.
e. Supply and Return air ducts must be provided and
sealed to the furnace. Return air must be terminated
outside of the space where furnace is installed.
f. Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C)
and 80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
g. MERV 11 or greater air filters must be installed in
the system and must be regularly inspected and
maintained (e.g., regular static checks and replaced at
end of life) during construction.
h. Blower and vestibule access panels must be in place
on the furnace at all times.
i. The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct
system, and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following final construction clean−up.
j. Air filters must be replaced upon construction
completion.
k. All furnace operating conditions (including ignition,
input rate, temperature rise and venting) must
be verified in accordance with these installation
instructions.

Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be
installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.
See Figure 1. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper
(or other means to control the flow of air) must adequately
pre vent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper
is manually operated, it must be equipped to prevent
operation of either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it
is in the full HEAT or COOL setting. See Figure 1.

When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes. In addition, in the United States,
installation must conform with the current National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric
Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following

NOTE:
This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous
return air temperature of 60° F (16°C) or an intermittent
operation down to 55° F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where
a night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature
must not exceed 85° F (29°C) dry bulb.
This furnace may be installed in alcoves, closets, attics,
basements, garages, crawl spaces and utility rooms in the
upflow or horizontal position.
This furnace design has not been CSA International
certified for installation in mobile homes, recreational
vehicles, or outdoors.
