ACCESSIBILITY CLEARANCE,WHERE GREATER, SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER MINIMUM FIRE PROTECTION CLEARANCE. A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be installed so that the ignition source and burners are located not less than eighteen inches (18") above the floor and is protected or located to prevent physical damage by vehicles. A gas furnace must not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials other than wood flooring.

Vent Pipe Clearance to Combustibles - 6" using Single Wall Connector or 1" using B-1 vent.

Top - 1"

Back - 0"

Front Clearance - 3"

•Adequate combustion/ combustion air must be supplied to the closet.

•Furnace must be completely sealed to floor or base. Combustion/ ventilation air supply pipes must terminate 12" from top of closet and 12" from floor of closet. DO NOT remove solid base plate for bottom return.

•Return air ducts must be completely sealed to the furnace and terminate outside the enclosure. surfaces.

FURNACE SUSPENSION

If suspending the furnace from rafters or joist, use 3/8" threaded rod and 2”x2”x3/8” angle iron as shown below. The length of rod will depend on the application and the clearances necessary.

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 connected 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 CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies 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 bathroom 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 continuously;

e. Test for draft hood equipped appliance spillage at the draft hood relief opening 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, return 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 venting system must be corrected.

Corrections must be in accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes.

If resizing is required on any portion of the venting system, use the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and/or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes.
