Flue Hood And Air Inlet Hood Installation

The flue hood and air inlet hood are packaged in a box which is located inside the return air compartment. They must be installed prior to operation of the unit. See Fig- ure 10.

To install the flue hood cover:

1.Remove the flue hood from inside the box.

2.Slide the upper lip of the hood cover under the top edge of the unit.

3.Attach the flue hood with two sheet metal screws. To install the air inlet hood:

1.Remove hood from inside box.

2.Attach hood by using three sheet metal screws.

3.Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as the range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

4.Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.

5.Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening af- ter five minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.

6.After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting sys- tem properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace damp- ers, and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

7.If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the common venting system must be corrected in accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1).

If resizing any portion of the common venting system, use the appropriate table in Appendix G, in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1).

Replacing a Indoor Furnace

WARNING

To prevent property damage, personal injury or death, do not vent this unit with any other appliance.

When an existing indoor furnace is removed from a venting system servicing other appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances (water heater, etc.).

The following steps must be followed with each appli- ance remaining connected to the common venting sys- tem placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.

1.Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2.Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no block- age or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other de- ficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

IX. Condensate Drain

Condensate Drain Connection

The evaporator condensate drain connection is 3/4" FPT. Clean out the inside of the drain connection to assure good condensate water runoff before connecting drain line. The drain line should have a trap on it to prevent debris, insects and dirt from being drawn into the return air system. Refer to Figure 11 for location. A 1" mini- mum head is recommended to allow draining against the negative pressure inside the unit.

PGB58B, PGC(24-60)B specifications

Amana, a trusted name in heating and cooling, offers several high-efficiency gas furnace models, including the PGC(24-60)B and PGB58B. These furnaces combine innovation, reliability, and advanced technology to provide an optimal heating solution for any home.

One of the standout features of the Amana PGC(24-60)B is its modulating heating capability. This technology allows the furnace to operate at different heating levels based on the home’s demands. Instead of simply turning on and off, the PGC adjusts its output to maintain a consistent temperature, promoting energy efficiency and comfort. This not only reduces energy consumption but also minimizes temperature fluctuations, providing a more comfortable indoor environment.

The PGB58B model is designed with a focus on efficiency, boasting an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96%. This means that a higher percentage of the fuel used is converted into heat, making it one of the most efficient choices available. The combination of high-efficiency design and advanced components makes the PGB58B an excellent option for homeowners looking to reduce their energy bills while enjoying reliable heating performance.

Both models come equipped with a durable casing, ensuring longevity and performance. The rust-resistant and heavy-gauge steel construction protects against harsh weather conditions, making them suitable for various climates. Additionally, they feature a multi-speed blower motor, which optimizes airflow and enhances comfort by evenly distributing warm air throughout the home.

Advanced diagnostics and self-monitoring capabilities are integral to these models. The built-in diagnostic system enables quick identification of performance issues, allowing for timely maintenance and reducing repair costs. Furthermore, these furnaces are designed to be compatible with smart home technology, allowing homeowners to control their heating systems remotely and maximize energy efficiency.

In summary, the Amana PGC(24-60)B and PGB58B gas furnaces stand out for their innovative features and commitment to energy efficiency. With modulating heating, high AFUE ratings, durable construction, and smart technology compatibility, they offer reliable heating solutions that ensure comfort while keeping energy costs low. Homeowners can feel confident in their investment, knowing they have chosen a furnace that prioritizes both performance and sustainability.
