LOUVERS AND GRILLES
In calculating free area for ventilation and combustion air requirements, consideration shall be given to the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens protecting openings. Screens used shall not be smaller than 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) mesh and shall be readily accessible for cleaning. If the free area through a design of louver or grille is known, it shall be used in calculating the size opening required to provide the free area specified. If the design and free area is not known, it may be assumed that wood louvers will have
VENTING OPTIONS
This furnace is designed to be vented conventionally into a vertical chimney or horizontally through a side wall with an optional Field Controls side wall power venting system.
Note that the FH, FC and FLF series furnaces have been designed to allow for bringing the vent system through the cabinet side for increased venting flexibility. To take advantage of this feature, simply remove the desired knockout from either side or top of unit and rotate flue box accordingly by removing four (4) screws under cleanout plate as shown in Figure 4. Make sure smoke pipe gasket is in place before reinstalling flue box screws.
VERTICAL VENTING
If the unit is to be vertically vented make sure the flue pipe from the furnace to the chimney is the same size diameter as the flue outlet of the furnace which is 6”. The flue pipe must have no reductions in diameter, be made of a
A barometric damper is supplied with the furnace and must be installed in the flue pipe observing the instructions packaged with the damper control. The barometric damper opening must be located in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the furnace. The furnace must not be vented into the same chimney with any solid fuel burning appliance such as a wood burner or pellet burner. Masonry chimneys must be lined with a listed system or other approved material that will resist corrosion, softening or cracking from flue gas temperatures up to 1800° F. See Standard for Installation of Oil Burning Equipment NFPA31 latest edition and Standard for Chimneys NFPA211 latest edition for additional information.
HORIZONTAL VENTING
This furnace is designed to be horizontally vented through a side wall with an optional side wall power vent. The recommended side wall venter is the Field Controls model number
THERMOSTAT
These furnaces are designed to be controlled with any 24V heating or heating/cooling thermostat. The heat/cool thermostats must be designed for independent heat/cool transformer circuits to assure that the 24V transformer built into the oil primary control does not conflict with the main furnace 24V transformer. The heat anticipator should be set at 0.20A. This is a nominal setting. The thermostat circuit should be checked to verify setting.
