Duct System
Use industry-approved standards to size and install the
supply and return air duct system. This will result in a quiet
and low-static system that has uniform air distribution.
NOTE − Do not operate the furnace with an external static
pressure that exceeds 0.5 inches w.c. Higher external stat-
ic pressures may cause erratic limit operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable
access panel must be installed in the supply air duct. The
access panel should be large enough to permit inspection
(either by smoke or reflected light) of the heat exchanger
for leaks after the furnace is installed. The furnace access
panel must always be in place when the furnace is operat-
ing and it must not allow leaks into the supply air duct sys-
tem.
Return Air Plenum
NOTE − Return air must not be drawn from a room
where this furnace, or any other gas−fueled appliance
(i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide−producing de-
vice (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure
is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating in a
room with negative pressure, the flue products can be
pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This re-
verse flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete combus-
tion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic
gas might then be distributed throughout the house by the
furnace duct system.
In upflow applications, the return air can be brought in
through the bottom or either side of the furnace. If a furnace
with bottom return air is installed on a platform, make an air-
tight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the plat-
form to ensure that the unit operates properly and safely.
Use fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent seal-
ing method between the plenum and the furnace cabinet to
ensure a tight seal. If a filter is installed, size the return air
duct to fit the filter frame.
Venting
A 4−inch diameter flue transition is factory-installed on the
combustion air inducer outlet of all models. Modifying or
removing the flue transition will cause the unit to oper-
ate unsafely and will void the unit certification. The
vent connector does not require insulation.
The combustion air inducer may be rotated clockwise or
counterclockwise by 90° to allow for top or side vent dis-
charge in all applications. When the unit is installed, the flue
transition must be in the 9 o’clock, 12 o’clock or 3 o’clock
position. The unit will not vent properly with the flue
transition pointed down in the 6 o’clock position. Re-
move the four mounting screws, rotate the assembly (in-
cluding the gasket), then reinstall the mounting screws.
See figure 14. Use the provided wire tie to bundle the pres-
sure switch wires with the inducer motor power leads.
Route the wires away from moving parts and the heat
of the inducer motor to prevent damage to the wires.
