FURNACE SUSPENSION
If suspending the furnace from rafters or joists, use 3/8" threaded rod and 2”x2”x1/8” angle iron as shown below. The length of rod will depend on the application and the clearances necessary.

| located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. |
| Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehicles. |
• | If the furnace is installed horizontally, the furnace access |

CLEARANCES AND ACCESSIBILITY
Installations must adhere to the clearances to combustible mate- rials which this furnace has been design certified to. The mini- mum clearance information for this furnace is provided on the unit’s clearance label. These clearances must be permanently main- tained. Clearances must also accommodate an installation’s gas, electrical, and drain trap and drain line connections. If the alternate combustion air intake or vent/flue connections are used additional clearance must be provided to accommodate these connections. Refer to Section IX, Vent Flue Pipe and Combustion Air Pipe for details. NOTE: In addition to the required clearances to combus- tible materials, a minimum of 24 inches service clearance must be available in front of the unit.

EXISTING FURNACE REMOVAL
NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system may be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the American
National Standard/National Standard of Canada for
venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances con- nected to the venting system are not in operation:
a.Seal any unused openings in the venting system;
b.Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the CSA B149 Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficien- cies which could cause an unsafe condition;
c.In so far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting sys- tem. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers;
d.Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continu- ously;
e.Test for draft hood equipped spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle;
A furnace installed in a confined space (i.e., a closet or utility room) must have two ventilation openings with a total minimum free area of 0.25 square inches per 1,000 BTU/hr of furnace input rating. Refer to Product Data Book applicable to your model* for minimum clearances to combustible surfaces. One of the ventilation open- ings must be within 12 inches of the top; the other opening must be within 12 inches of the bottom of the confined space. In a typical
f.After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, re- turn doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use;
g.If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the common venting system must be corrected.
*NOTE: Please contact your distributor or our website for the applicable product data book referred to in this manual.
