include indoor swimming pools and chlorine bleaches, paint strippers, adhesives, paints, varnishes, sealers, waxes (which are not yet dried) and solvents used during construction and remodeling. Various commercial and industrial processes may also be sources of chlorine/ fluorine compounds.

Heavier gauge 300 and 400 series stainless steel liners were developed for use with oil or solid fuel appliances. They are not suitable for use with gas-fired appliances. Flexible liners specifically intended and tested for gas applications are listed in the UL “Gas and Oil Equipment Directory”. (UL Standard 1777).

For sizing of flexible liners, see Note 22 and the tables in the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition and in the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 - latest editions and amendments.

To install the liner, read and follow the liner manufacturer’s instructions and your local codes. Excess liner length should be pulled out of the chimney and cut off. Use caution when doing this, as the cut edges of flexible liners may be sharp. Do not spiral excess liner inside of the chimney. Support the liner as recommended by the liner manufacturer.

Some manufacturers of flexible liners offer an insulation sleeve designed to be added to the liner before it is installed in the chimney. (Poured insulation, either vermiculite or other materials, is no longer recommended.) Insulation will need to be added to the flexible liner if:

It is required by the liner manufacturer’s instructions.

The previous liner was properly sized and installed, and suffered from condensation damage.

It is required by your local building codes.

Even if none of those three conditions exist which require additional liner insulation, the installer may wish to consider it if:

The local climate is very cold.

The chimney is very tall.

The vent connectors used are very long or have a large number of elbows.

Local experience indicates that flexible liners installed without insulation are likely to have condensation problems.

Insulation must be selected and installed in accordance with the liner manufacturer’s instructions.

Finally, cap the chimney and terminate the liner in accordance with the liner manufacturer’s instructions.

VIII. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING

TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, WIRING TO THE UNIT MUST BE POLARIZED AND GROUNDED.

WARNING

TO AVOID INJURY, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR DEATH, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING OR CHANGING ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING.

CAUTION

LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.

WARNING

TO AVOID THE RISK OF INJURY, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR DEATH, THE FURNACE MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES OR, IN THEIR ABSENCE, WITH THE LATEST EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE.

WIRING HARNESS

The wiring harness is an integral part of this furnace. Field alteration to comply with electrical codes should not be required. Wires are color coded for identification purposes. Refer to the wiring diagram for wire routings. If any of the original wire as supplied with the furnace must be replaced, it must be replaced with wiring material having a temperature rating of at least 105° C. Any replacement wiring must be a copper conductor.

115 VOLT LINE CONNECTIONS

Before proceeding with electrical connections, ensure that the supply voltage, frequency, and phase correspond to that specified on the unit rating plate. Power supply to the furnace must be NEC Class 1, and must comply with all applicable codes. The furnace must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the latest edition of The National Electric Code, ANSI NFPA 70 and/or The Canadian Electric Code CSA C22.1.

Use a separate fused branch electrical circuit containing properly sized wire, and fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or circuit breaker must be sized in accordance with the maximum overcurrent protection specified on the unit rating plate. An electrical disconnect must be provided at the furnace location.

Line voltage wiring must enter into the junction box provided with the furnace.

NOTE: Line polarity must be observed when making field connections.

JUNCTION BOX RELOCATION

WARNING

EDGES OF SHEET METAL HOLES MAY BE SHARP. USE GLOVES AS A PRE- CAUTION WHEN REMOVING HOLE PLUGS.

Line voltage connections can be made through either the right or left side panel. The furnace is shipped configured for a left side electrical connection. To make electrical connections through the opposite side of the furnace, the junction box must be relocated to the left side prior to making electrical connections. To relocate the junction box, perform the following steps.

WARNING

TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS UNIT.

1.Remove both doors from the furnace.

2.Remove and save the screws holding the junction box to the lef t side of the furnace.

3.Models that have the juction box located in the blower compartment will need to rotate the junction box 180 degrees. Models that have the junction box located in the
