For direct vent (2-pipe) applications, seal the gas pipe knockout to
prevent air leakage.
Remove the required knockout. Install the grommet in the knockout.
Then insert the gas pipe. The grommet is included in the loose parts bag.
Piping should be pressure and leak tested in accordance with the current
addition of the NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 in the United States, local, and
national plumbing and gas codes before the furnace has been connected.
Refer to current edition of NSCNGPIC in Canada. After all connections
have been made, purge lines and check for leakage at furnace prior to
operating furnace.
PRESSURE TESTING ABOVE
½
psig:
The furnace and it’s individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of
½
psig (3.5 kPa).
PRESSURE TESTING BELOW
½
psig:
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
½
psig (3.5
kPa).
An accessible manual equipment shutoff valve MUST be installed
external to furnace casing and within 6 ft. (2 M) of furnace.
Install a sediment trap externally in the riser leading to furnace as shown
in
.
Connect a capped nipple into lower end of tee. Capped nipple
should extend below level of furnace gas controls. Place a ground
joint
union between furnace gas control valve and exterior manual
equipment
gas shutoff valve.

Fig. 31 – Typical Gas Pipe Arrangement
A 1/8-in. (3 mm) NPT
plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, MUST be
installed immediately upstream of gas supply
connection to
furnace and downstream of manual equipment shutoff
valve.
Piping should be pressure and leak tested in accordance with the current
addition of the
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 in the United States, local, and
national plumbing and gas codes before the furnace has been
connected.
Refer to current edition of NSCNGPIC in Canada. After all connections
have been made, purge lines and
check for leakage at furnace prior to
operating furnace.
NOTE:
The furnace gas control valve inlet pressure tap connection
is
suitable to use as test gauge connection providing test
pressure DOES
NOT exceed maximum 0.5 psig (14-in. w.c.) stated
on gas control valve.
If pressure exceeds 0.5 psig (14-in. w.c.), gas supply pipe must be
disconnected from furnace and capped before and during supply
pipe
pressure test. If test pressure is equal to or less than 0.5 psig
(14-in. w.c.),
turn off electric shutoff switch located on furnace gas control valve and
accessible manual equipment shutoff valve before and during supply
pipe pressure test. After all connections have been made, purge lines and
check for leakage at furnace prior to operating furnace.
The gas supply pressure shall be within the maximum and minimum
inlet supply pressures marked on the rating plate with the furnace
burners ON and OFF.
Gas entry can be from left or right side, or top panel. See
Gas Pipe Grommet
For direct vent (2-pipe) applications, the knockout for the gas pipe must
be sealed to prevent air leakage. Remove the knockout, install the
grommet in the knockout, then insert the gas pipe. The grommet is
included in the loose parts bag. See
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING
!
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
A failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death,
and/or property damage.
If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance connector,
always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector which has
previously served another gas appliance. Black iron pipe shall be
installed at the furnace gas control valve and extend a minimum of 2-in.

CAUTION
!
FURNACE MAY NOT OPERATE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent furnace
operation.
Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation or else control
will lock out. Control must remain grounded through green/yellow wire
routed to gas valve and manifold bracket screw.
WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings could result in dangerous operation,
serious injury, death or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous operation, serious injury,
death or property damage.
-
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to furnace.
-
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to disconnection.
Reconnect wires correctly.
-
Verify proper operation after servicing.
-
Always reinstall access doors after completing service and
maintenance.
WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Blower door switch opens 115-v power to control. No component
operation can occur. Do not bypass or close switch with blower door
removed.
