BOTTOM RETURN AND ATTIC INSTALLATIONS

Bottom return applications normally pull return air through a base plat- form or return air plenum. Be sure the return platform structure or return air plenum is suitable to support the weight of the furnace.

The internal bottom panel must be removed for this application.

Attic installations must meet all minimum clearances to combustibles and have floor support with required service accessibility.

HORIZONTAL APPLICATION

FIGURE 9: Horizontal Application

This furnace may be installed in a horizontal position on either side as shown above. It must not be installed on its back.

ATTIC INSTALLATION

When a furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated space, keep all insulating materials at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from furnace and burner combustion air openings.

SUSPENDED FURNACE / CRAWL SPACE INSTALLATION

The furnace can be hung from floor joists or installed on suitable blocks or pad. Blocks or pad installations shall provide adequate height to ensure the unit will not be subject to water damage. Units may also be suspended from rafters or floor joists using rods, pipe angle supports or straps. Angle supports should be placed at the supply air end and near the blower deck. Do not support at return air end of unit. All four sus- pension points must be level to ensure quite furnace operation. When suspending the furnace use a secure platform constructed of plywood or other building material secured to the floor joists. Refer to for typical crawl space installation.

FIGURE 10: Typical Attic Installation

This appliance is certified for line contact when the furnace is installed in the horizontal left or right position. The line contact is only permissible between lines that are formed by the intersection of the top and two sides of the furnace and the building joists, studs or framing. This line may be in contact with combustible material. Refer to Figure 10, "Typi- cal Attic Installation".

through the side of the furnace casing rather than the end. See Figure 12, "Downflow Venting".

For modulating furnaces to be used in the downflow position, it is necessary to rotate the gas valve so that it is upright when the fur- nace is installed. Loosen the pipe union between the gas valve and manifold, rotate the valve as far upward as it will go, and tighten the union. See Figure 13, "Downflow Installation - Gas Valve Rotation".
