Supply Air Connections

For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct shall be provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings using light assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the air stream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks.

Upflow and Horizontal Furnaces

Connect supply-air duct to flanges on furnace supply-air outlet. Bend flange upward to 90_ with wide duct pliers. (See Fig. 14.) The supply-air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace supply-outlet-air duct flanges or air conditioning coil casing (when used). DO NOT cut main furnace casing side to attach supply air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All accessories MUST be connected to duct external to furnace main casing.

NOTE: For horizontal applications, the top most flange may be bent past 90_ to allow the evaporator coil to hang on the flange temporarily while the remaining attachment and sealing of the coil are performed.

Downflow Furnaces

Connect supply-air duct to supply-air outlet on furnace. Bend flange inward past 90_ with wide duct pliers (See Fig. 14.) The supply-air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace supply outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used). When installed on combustible material, supply-air duct must be connected to ONLY the factory-approved accessory subbase, or a factory-approved air conditioning coil casing. DO NOT cut main furnace casing to attach supply side air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All accessories MUST be connected to duct external to furnace casing.
