Special pipe dope must be used when assembling pip- ing for this gas as it will quickly dissolve white lead or most standard commercial compounds. Shellac base compounds resistant to the actions of liquefied petro- leum gases such as Gasolac, Static, Clyde or John Crane are satisfactory.

Please refer to Figure 4 for typical propane gas instal- lations.

WARNING

Failure to follow the instructions on Page

6of this manual when the presence of gas is suspected could result in death or serious personal injury. An undetected gas leak would create a danger of explo- sion or fire.

If the propane gas furnace is installed in an excavated area or a confined space, it is strongly recommended contacting a propane gas supplier about installing a warning device to warn of a gas leak.

Propane gas is heavier than air and any leaking gas can settle in low areas or confined areas.

Propane gas odorant may fade, making the gas undetectable except with a warning device.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or death due to electrical shock, disconnect the electri- cal power before electrically connecting the unit.

The units are designed for operation on 60 hertz current and at voltages as shown on the rating plate. All internal wiring in the unit is complete. It is necessary to bring in the power supply to the contactor as shown on the unit wiring diagram which is supplied with each unit. The 24V wiring must be connected between the unit control panel and the room thermostat. Refer to Figure 5 for location of low voltage terminal board and Figure 6 for proper thermostat wiring.

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.
