If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8" threaded
rod and 2”x2”x1/8” angle iron as shown below. The length of rod will
depend on the application and the clearances necessary.

NOTE:
When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system
serving other appliances,
the venting system may be too large to
properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the
American
National Standard/National Standard of Canada for Gas-Fired Cen-
tral Furnaces ANSI Z21.4, CSA-2.3 latest edition Section 1.23.1.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the
venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances con-
nected to the venting system are not in operation:
a. Seal any unused openings in the venting system;
b. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as
required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CSA
B149 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine that there
is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficien-
cies which could cause an unsafe condition;
c. In so far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the
venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn
on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bath-
room exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not
operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers;
d. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected
in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continu-
ously;
e. Test for draft hood equipped spillage at the draft hood relief open-
ing after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a
match or candle;
f.
After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the
venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, re-
turn doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other
gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use;
g. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the
common venting system must be corrected.
Corrections must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Na-
tional Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CSA B149 In-
stallation Codes.

•
Seal off a
non-direct vent
furnace if it is installed near an
area frequently contaminated by any of the above
substances. This protects the
non-direct vent
furnace from
airborne contaminants. To ensure that the enclosed
non-direct
vent
furnace has an adequate supply of
combustion air, vent from a nearby uncontaminated room
or from outdoors. Refer to the
Section V, Combustion and
Ventilation Air Requirements
for details.
•
If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit,
install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the cooling
unit. Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the
cooling unit is placed ahead of the furnace.
•
If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, position
the furnace so that the burners and ignition source are
located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor.
Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehicles.
•
If the furnace is installed horizontally, the furnace access
doors must be vertical so that the burners fire horizontally
into the heat exchanger. Do not install the unit with the
access doors on the “up/top” or “down/bottom” side of the
furnace.
C
LEARANCES
AND
A
CCESSIBILITY
Installations must adhere to the clearances to combustible materi-
als which this furnace has been design certified to. The minimum
clearance information for this furnace is provided on the unit’s clear-
ance label. These clearances must be permanently maintained.
Clearances must also accommodate an installation’s gas, electri-
cal, drain trap, and drain line connections. If the alternate combus-
tion air intake or vent/flue connections are used additional clear-
ance must be provided to accommodate these connections. Refer
to
Section IX, Vent Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe
for details.
NOTE:
In addition to the required clearances to combustible mate-
rials, a minimum of 24 inches service clearance must be available
in front of the unit.

A furnace installed in a confined space (i.e., a closet or utility room)
must have two ventilation openings with a total minimum free area
of 0.25 square inches per 1,000 BTU/hr of furnace input rating. Re-
fer to Product Data Book applicable to your model* for minimum
clearances to combustible surfaces. One of the ventilation open-
ings must be within 12 inches of the top; the other opening must be
within 12 inches of the bottom of the confined space. In a typical
construction, the clearance between the door and door frame is
usually adequate to satisfy this ventilation requirement.
*NOTE: Please contact your distributor or our website for the applicable
product data book referred to in this manual.
