Bottom Return Air Inlet

These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom return-air opening. Remove and discard this panel when bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, perform the following:

1.Tilt or raise furnace and remove 2 screws holding bottom filler panel. (See Fig. 9.)

2.Rotate bottom filler panel downward to release holding tabs.

3.Remove bottom closure panel.

4.Reinstall bottom filler panel and screws.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

!WARNING

FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

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

Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with control compartment facing downward. Safety control operation will be adversely affected. Never connect return-air ducts to the back of the furnace.

The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawl space on either the left-hand (LH) or right-hand (RH) side. The furnace can be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or installed on a non-combustible platform, blocks, bricks or pad.

Suspended Furnace Support

The furnace may be supported under each end with threaded rod, angle iron or metal plumber’s strap as shown. (See Fig. 15 and 16.) Secure angle iron to bottom of furnace as shown. Heavy-gauge sheet metal straps (plumber’s straps) may be used to suspend the furnace from each bottom corner. To prevent screws from pulling out, use 2 #8 x 3/4-in. (19 mm) screws into the side and 2 #8 x 3/4-in. (19 mm) screws in the bottom of the furnace casing for each strap. (See Fig. 15 and 16.)

If the screws are attached to ONLY the furnace sides and not the bottom, the straps must be vertical against the furnace sides and not pull away from the furnace sides, so that the strap attachment screws are not in tension (are loaded in shear) for reliable support.

Platform Furnace Support

Construct working platform at location where all required furnace clearances are met. (See Fig. 2 and 17.) For furnaces with 1-in. (25 mm) clearance requirement on side, set furnace on non- combustible blocks, bricks or angle iron. For crawl space installations, if the furnace is not suspended from the floor joists, the ground underneath furnace must be level and the furnace set on blocks or bricks.

Roll-Out Protection

Provide a minimum 17-3/4 in. x 22 in. (451 x 559 mm) piece of sheet metal for flame roll-out protection in front of burner area for furnaces closer than 12 inches (305 mm) above the combustible deck or suspended furnaces closer than 12 inches (305 mm) to joists. The sheet metal MUST extend underneath the furnace casing by 1 in. (25 mm) with the door removed.

The bottom closure panel on furnaces of widths 17-1/2 in. (445

mm)and larger may be used for flame roll-out protection when bottom of furnace is used for return air connection. See Fig. 17 for proper orientation of roll-out shield.

Bottom Return Air Inlet

These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom return-air opening. Remove and discard this panel when bottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, perform the following:

1.Tilt or raise furnace and remove 2 screws holding bottom filler panel. (See Fig. 9.)

2.Rotate bottom filler panel downward to release holding tabs.

3.Remove bottom closure panel.

4.Reinstall bottom filler panel and screws.

Side Return Air Inlet

These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom return-air opening. This panel MUST be in place when side return air inlet(s) is used without a bottom return air inlet.

Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air connections. (See Fig. 20.)

FILTER ARRANGEMENT

!WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death and/or property damage.

Never operate a furnace without a filter or with filter access door removed.

There are no provisions for an internal filter rack in these furnaces.

Refer to the instructions supplied with accessory Media Cabinet for assembly and installation options.

This furnace requires a field-supplied external filter rack or a suitable field-supplied substitute, such as the media cabinet. See Table 17 for accessory list.

Refer to the instructions supplied with external filter rack for assembly and installation options.

310AAV specifications

The Bryant 310AAV and 310JAV are high-efficiency air conditioning and heating systems designed for residential and light commercial applications. These models embody Bryant's commitment to delivering reliable comfort solutions while prioritizing energy efficiency and performance.

One of the standout features of the Bryant 310AAV and 310JAV is their impressive Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the unit is in using electricity to cool your space. The Bryant 310AAV boasts a SEER rating of up to 16, while the 310JAV offers a slightly lower rating. This efficiency translates into cost savings on monthly energy bills while ensuring indoor comfort throughout the year.

Both models utilize advanced technologies, including two-stage heating and cooling capabilities. This means that the systems can adjust their operation based on the heating or cooling needs of a space, providing optimal temperature control while reducing energy waste. The two-stage operation also contributes to quieter operation levels, making these units suitable for residential settings where noise is a concern.

The 310AAV and 310JAV are equipped with variable-speed compressors, which further enhance their efficiency and comfort levels. The variable-speed technology allows the system to operate at different speeds, ensuring consistent temperature management and reducing the frequency of on-and-off cycling. This leads to steadier indoor temperatures and improved humidity control.

In addition to their performance features, Bryant places a strong emphasis on durability and dependability. The units are constructed with high-quality materials that are designed to withstand various environmental conditions. Features such as a weather-resistant cabinet and an efficient coil design help protect the units from wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The implementation of environmentally friendly refrigerant options is another characteristic that demonstrates Bryant's commitment to sustainability. Both the 310AAV and 310JAV utilize R-410A refrigerant, which has a lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants, aligning with modern standards for eco-friendly HVAC systems.

Overall, the Bryant 310AAV and 310JAV represent a blend of efficiency, advanced technology, and durability. With their attractive SEER ratings, two-stage operation, variable-speed capabilities, and commitment to sustainability, these models stand out as excellent choices for homeowners and businesses looking to enhance their heating and cooling solutions while keeping energy consumption in check. Whether for residential comfort or light commercial use, these Bryant units promise reliability and performance for years to come.
