!WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Cool air passing over heat exchanger can cause condensate to form resulting in heat exchanger failure.

Connections

NOTE: Return air can enter through either side, both sides, the bottom or a side and the bottom. Return air can not enter through rear of the furnace. When the furnace is located in an area near or adjacent to the living area, the system should be carefully designed with returns to minimize noise transmission through the return grille. Any blower moving a high volume of air will produce audible noise which could be objectionable to when the unit is located very close to living areas. It is advisable to route the return

!WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Do NOT draw return air from inside a closet or utility room where furnace is located. Return air duct MUST be sealed to furnace casing.

Installation

NOTE: Design and install the air distribution system to comply with Air Conditioning Contractors of America manuals and/or NFPA pamphlets 90A and 90B or other approved methods that conform to local codes and good trade practices.

1.When furnace supply ducts carry air outside furnace area, seal return air duct to furnace casing and terminate duct outside furnace space.

2.Install air conditioning cooling coil (evaporator) on outlet side of furnace.

3.For furnaces installed without a cooling coil, it is recommended that the outlet duct be provided with a removable access panel. This panel should be accessible when the furnace is installed so the exterior of the heat exchanger can be viewed for inspections. The access panel MUST be sealed to prevent leaks.

4.If separate evaporator and blower units are used, install good sealing dampers for air flow control. Chilled air going through the furnace could cause condensation and shorten the furnace life.

NOTE: Dampers (field supplied) can be either automatic or manual. Manually operated dampers MUST be equipped with a means to prevent furnace or air conditioning operation unless damper is in the full heat or cool position.

1.For side connections using a 16″ x 25″ (406.4 x 635mm) filter, cut out the embossed area shown in Fig. 42. This will

provide a 141/2″ x 221/2″ (368.3 x 571.5mm) approximate opening.

NOTE: Furnaces with 5 TONS cooling capacity may require two(2) side returns or one side return with bottom return.

2.Bottom returns can be made by removing the knockout panel in the furnace base. Do NOT remove knock-out except for a bottom return.

3.Installation of locking-type dampers are recommended in all branches, or in individual ducts to balance system’s air flow.

4.Non-combustible, flexible duct connectors are recommended for return and supply connections to furnace.

5.If air return grille is located close to the fan inlet, install at least one, 90° air turn between fan and inlet grille to reduce noise.

NOTE: To further reduce noise, install acoustical air turning vanes and/or line the inside of duct with acoustical material.

Sizing

Existing or new ductwork MUST be sized to handle the correct amount of airflow for either heating only or heating and air conditioning.

Insulation

1.Insulate ductwork installed in attics or other areas exposed to outside temperatures with a minimum of 2″ (50.8mm) insulation and vapor barrier.
