SIDE RETURN/BOTTOM EXTERNAL INSTALLATION
Locate and knock out the square corner locators. These indicate the
size of the cutout to be made in the furnace side panel. Refer to Figure 9.
Install the side filter rack following the instructions provided with that
accessory. If a filter(s) is provided at another location in the return air
system, the ductwork may be directly attached to the furnace side
panel. An accessory filter rack is available for mounting the filter exter-
nal to the cabinet.
Some accessories such as electronic air cleaners and pleated media
may require a larger side opening. Follow the instructions supplied with
that accessory for side opening requirements. Do not cut the opening
larger than the dimensions shown in Figure 5.
EXTERNAL INSTALLATION FOR
UPFLOW/HORIZONTAL CONFIGURATIONS
1.
Select desired filter position for upflow/horizontal (left/right side,
side and bottom). Remove the corresponding cabinet cutouts per
instructions provided.
2.
Install the external filter box to the side of the cabinet and secure
to the cabinet as specified in the instructions provided with the air
filter kit. If a side return is to be used, cut out the side of the casing
14" high by 16 1/4" wide using the lances in the casing side as a
guide. DO NOT CUT THE OPENING LARGER THAN 14" X 16 1/
4". It is not permissible to cut out the back of the furnace. For bot-
tom returns you place the external filter box between the return air
plenum and the base of the furnace. The casing bottom is
embossed to indicate where to bend the flanges. Refer to Figure 5
for the maximum return air opening sizes. Seal this connection to
prevent leaks.
Do not cut the opening larger than the dimensions shown in Figure
5.
3.
Install the return air duct to the air filter box and secure with
screws. Seal this connection to prevent leaks.
4.
Install the field provided filter. Refer to Table 5 for the recom-
mended filter size for your furnace.
NOTE: Air velocity must not exceed 300 feet per minute through low
velocity disposable filters. Air velocity must not exceed 650 feet
per minute through high velocity cleanable permanent filters.
Use of a filter that is too small will cause static pressure in the
duct system to be too high, which will have an adverse effect on
heating and cooling operation.
Downflow Filters
Downflow furnaces typically are installed with the filters located above
the furnace, extending into the return air plenum or duct. Any branch
duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum must attach to
the vertical plenum above the filter height. Refer to Figure 11 for proper
installation.
