FURNACE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
These Installation procedures are suggested for
typical furnace installations. Since each installation is
different, the sequence of instructions may differ from
the actual installation. Only qualifi ed HVAC technicians
should install this furnace.
The installer must be familiar with and comply with all
codes and regulations applicable to the installation of
these heating appliances and related equipment. In
the absence of local codes, the installation must be in
accordance with the current provisions of one or more of
the following standards.
• Federal Manufactured Home Constructions & Safety
Standard (H.U.D. Title 24, Part 3280.707[a][2])
• American National Standard (ANSI-119.2/NFPA-501C)
for all recreational vehicle installations.
• American National Standard (ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA-54)
and/or CAN/CSA B149 for all gas-fi red furnace models.
• American National Standard (ANSI-Z95.1/NFPA-31)
and/or CSA B139 for all oil-fi red furnace models.
• American National Standard (ANSI-C1/NFPA-70) and/or
CSA 22.1 Canadian Electric Code Part 1 for all electrical
fi eld wiring.
• Units have been researched under standards UL 307A
& B, UL727-1999, ANSI Z21.47b/CSA 2.3b-2008, and
CSA B140.10.
General Information
• The furnace must be leveled at installation and attached
to a properly installed duct system.
Do not use the back
of the furnace for return air.
See page 7 for circulating
requirements.
• The furnace must be installed so that all electrical
components are protected from water.
• The dimensions of the room or alcove must be able to
accommodate the overall size of the furnace and the
installation clearances listed in Table 1 and Figure 3
(page 6)
• The furnace must be installed upstream from a
refrigeration system.
• The M1 Series gas and M5 Series oil furnace is
certifi ed for use on wood fl ooring or supports, but must
be installed on top of a duct connector. This factory
supplied accessory must be installed in the fl oor cavity
and attached to the supply air duct before the furnace
is installed.
Locating & Cutting Duct Openings
Floor cut-outs and fuel line holes must be carefully located
to avoid misalignment of the furnace, and vent piping. To
locate standard ducts see Figure 6 (page 9). For round
ducts, see Figure 7.
1. Measure 10” from the rear wall or alcove and mark the
centerline of the cut-out on the fl oor.
2. Using the centerline as a starting point, draw the rest
of the duct cut-out to the dimensions shown in Figures
6 or 7.
3. Cut out the fl oor opening 1/16” larger than the actual
cutout drawn. This will allow some clearance when
installing the duct connector.
4. Measure from the top of the fl oor down to the top of
the supply air duct to obtain the depth of the fl oor
cavity.
NOTE:
The depth of the fl oor cavity shown as
“X” in Figure 9 (page 9) will determine the correct duct
connector.
5. Determine which duct connector to use from Table 3
(page 9).
6. Measure and drill gas hole and cut out for cooling coil
(if applicable). See Figures 6 or 7.
Standard Duct Connector Installation
The standard duct connector is designed for use on ducts
12” in width. However ducts narrower than 12” may not
allow suffi cient clearances for this type of installation. For
an alternate installation method, see page 9.
1. Center the duct connector in the fl oor opening with
bottom tabs resting on top of the supply air duct.
2. Mark the cut-out area on the supply air duct by tracing
around the connector tabs (Figure 8, page 9) of the
duct connector.
3. Remove the duct connector and cut out the marked
area of the supply air duct 1/4” larger the actual cutout
drawn.
4. Install the duct connector back in the fl oor opening with
the bottom tabs extending into the supply air duct.
5. Install the mounting plate (Figure 8) under the back
side of the duct connector. Align the screw holes in
both components.
6. Secure the duct connector and the mounting plate to
the wood fl oor with appropriate size screws.
7. Bend the connector tabs on the bottom of the duct
connector upwards and as tight as possible against
the supply air duct.
8. Bend both tabs up 90° on the mounting plate. See
Figure 10 (page 10)
9. Seal all connections with industrial grade sealing tape
or liquid sealant.
NOTE:
Requirements for sealing ductwork vary
from region to region. Consult with local codes for
requirements specifi c to your area.
