INSTALL FURNACE

1.Position furnace in desired location.

2.Connect gas supply pipe. See Fig. 8 for typical piping entry.

3.Install field-supplied filter retainers as indicated in Fig. 11 and Table 4 before connecting return-air duct to furnace.

4.Connect supply- and return-air ducts.

5.Install 24- X 24-in. sheet metal shield on platform in front of louvered control panel as shown in Fig. 8.

Step 7ÐHorizontal Crawlspace Installation

The furnace can be installed horizontally with either the LH or RH side up. In a crawlspace, furnace can either be hung from floor joist (see Fig. 10) or installed on suitable blocks or pad. (See Fig. 9.) The furnace can be suspended from each corner by hanger bolts (4 each 3/8-in. all-thread rod) cut to desired length, 1- X 3/8-in. flat washer, 3/8-in. lockwasher, and 3/8-in. nut. Dimples are provided for hole locations. (See Fig. 1.)

Since horizontal crawlspace installation is very similar to attic installation, refer to Step 6. The installation of a sheet metal shield in front of louvered control panel is covered in Step 6. For a crawlspace installation, this same sheet metal shield must be installed above louvered control panel. Extend sheet metal shield over furnace top far enough to cover gas pipe entry hole.

Step 8ÐFilter Arrangement

Never operate unit without a filter or with filter access door removed. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death.

The 2 factory-supplied filters are shipped in the blower compart- ment. After return-air duct has been connected to furnace, install filters in a V-formation inside return-air plenum. See Fig. 11 and Table 4 for horizontal applications. Horizontal filter retainers must be field supplied. See Fig. 12 for downflow applications.

Step 9ÐGas Piping

Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local codes. Refer to the current edition of the NFGC.

Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with NSC- NGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.

Refer to Table 5 for recommended gas pipe sizing. Risers should be used to connect to the furnace and to the meter.

If a flexible connector is required or allowed by the authority having jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at the gas valve and extend a minimum of 2 in. outside the furnace casing.

58ZAV specifications

The Carrier 58ZAV is a high-efficiency gas furnace that exemplifies Carrier's commitment to innovation and performance in residential heating solutions. Designed to provide optimal comfort, the 58ZAV boasts a range of features that cater to the needs of homeowners seeking reliable and energy-efficient heating systems.

One of the standout characteristics of the Carrier 58ZAV is its impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating, which often exceeds 95%. This high AFUE ratio means that the furnace converts a significant portion of its fuel into heat, ensuring minimal energy waste and lower utility bills. This efficiency aligns with modern energy standards and reflects Carrier's dedication to environmentally conscious engineering.

The 58ZAV employs a two-stage heating process, which allows for better temperature control and more consistent comfort levels throughout the home. The furnace operates on low capacity for most of the heating cycle, ensuring that it does not overheat the living spaces. When a quick boost of heat is needed, it can switch to high capacity, providing the necessary warmth efficiently.

Additionally, this gas furnace features a variable-speed blower motor. This motor adapts its speed according to the heating demand, delivering more even airflow and maintaining consistent humidity levels within the home. This adaptability not only enhances comfort but also contributes to a quieter operation, minimizing disruptive noise levels typically associated with traditional furnaces.

Incorporating advanced technology, the Carrier 58ZAV is compatible with smart thermostats and can be integrated into a home automation system. This feature allows homeowners to monitor and control their heating system remotely, optimizing energy usage and comfort from anywhere.

The furnace is designed with durability in mind, featuring a corrosion-resistant heat exchanger and other robust components that ensure long-lasting performance. Moreover, Carrier offers a range of warranties, providing peace of mind to homeowners investing in this heating solution.

Overall, the Carrier 58ZAV is a top-of-the-line gas furnace that combines efficiency, advanced technology, and comfort. With its high AFUE rating, two-stage heating process, variable-speed blower motor, and compatibility with smart home systems, it represents a modern heating solution that meets the demands of today's environmentally aware consumers. Whether for new installations or replacements, the 58ZAV stands out as a reliable choice for residential heating needs.
