coupling to the cabinet using the screws removed in step 1 or with field-supplied 3/8” #8 self drilling screws.

8.Upflow and Counterflow units.WARNING

THE RUBBER ELBOW IS NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORAT A LOAD. WHEN THE RUBBER ELBOW IS MOUNTED EXTERNALLY TO THE FURNACE CABINET, EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ADEQUATELY SUPPORT FIELD-SUPPLIED VENT/FLUE PIPING, AS DAMAGE CAN RESULT IN LEAKS CAUSING BODILY INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO EXPOSURE TO FLUE GASES, INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE.

7.Upflow and Counterflow units.

For upright installations, externally mount the rubber elbow to the vent/flue coupling using a worm gear hose clamp. Secure field supplied vent/flue piping to the rubber elbow using a worm gear hose clamp. NOTE: Use of the alternate vent/flue location for upright installations, requires the drain trap be installed on the same side of the unit as the flue pipe.

8.Upflow and Counterflow units.

For horizontal installations, externally secure the field- supplied vent/flue pipe directly to the vent/flue coupling using a PVC or ABS coupling or elbow.

ALTERNATE COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE LOCATION

The alternate combustion air intake location consists of a large, unobstructed hole (alternate vent connection is aligned with the Induced Draft Blower). To use the alternate combustion air intake location, refer to the following steps, and the “Alternate Combus- tion Air Intake Location” figure.

NOTE: Counterflow unit instructions follow the upflow instructions.

1. Remove and save the four screws securing the combustion

air intake coupling to the furnace’s top panel (upflow).

Counterflow units.

Remove and save the four screws securing the combustion

air intake coupling to the basepan. Remove an additional

three screws securing the furnace’s internal combustion

air intake pipe to the blower deck.

2. Remove the combustion air intake coupling and gasket from

the top panel.

Counterflow units.

Remove the combustion air intake pipe from the furnace

and cut the pipe at the basepan coupling. Save the basepan

coupling and gasket from the blower deck coupling for use

in the alternate location. Discard the remaining pipe.

3. Remove plastic plug from alternate combustion air intake

location. Relocate and install plug in standard air intake

deck with the plastic plug included in the drain kit bag.

4. Upflow and Counterflow units.

With the gasket facing the cabinet side panel, and the

flange’s flat spot facing forward, secure the combustion air

intake coupling to the cabinet using the screws removed in

step 1 or with field-supplied 3/8” #8 self -drilling screws.

BE SURE NOT TO DAMAGE INTERNAL WIRING OR OTHER COMPONENTS WHEN REINSTALLING COUPLING AND SCREWS.

5.Upflow and Counterflow units.

For non-direct vent installations installed horizontally, a minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the combustion air intake coupling to guard against inadvertent blockage. No elbow is required on the alternate combustion air intake of upright installations, however, a minimum clearance of 2 inches is required to assure proper air supply.

6.Upflow and Counterflow units.

For direct vent installations, secure field-supplied combustion air intake pipe directly to the air intake coupling.

NOTE: A PVC coupling or elbow is required on counterflow units.
