Goodman Mfg MVC95 Propane GAS/HIGH Altitude Installations, VENT/FLUE Pipe & Combustion AIR Pipe

PROPANE GAS/HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS

ALTERNATEELECTRICALANDGASLINECONNECTIONS

This furnace has provisions allowing for electrical and gas line con- nections through either side panel. In horizontal applications the connections can be made either through the “top” or “bottom” of the furnace.

DRAINPAN

A drain pan must be provided if the furnace is installed above a conditioned area. The drain pan must cover the entire area under the furnace (and air conditioning coil if applicable).

FREEZEPROTECTION

Refer to Horizontal Applications and Conditions - Drain Trap and Lines.

FURNACESUSPENSION

If the furnace is installed in a crawl space it must be suspended from the floor joist or supported by a concrete pad. Never install the furnace on the ground or allow it to be exposed to water. Refer to Location Requirements and Considerations - Furnace Suspen- sion for further details.

WARNING

POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF THE CORRECT CONVERSION KITS ARE NOT INSTALLED. THE APPROPRIATE KITS MUST BE APPLIED TO ENSURE SAFE AND PROPER FURNACE OPERATION. ALL CONVERSIONS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER OR SERVICE AGENCY.

This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for natural gas at standard altitude. Propane gas installations require an orifice and orifice change to compensate for the energy content differ- ence between natural and propane gas.

High altitude installations may require both a pressure switch and an orifice/spring change. These changes are necessary to com- pensate for the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and the combustion air at higher altitude.

For installations above 7000 feet, please refer to your distributor for required kit(s).

N OT E: In Canada, gas furnaces are only certified to 4500 feet.

Contact the distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate manufacturer’s kits for propane gas and/or high altitude installa- tions. The indicated kits must be used to insure safe and proper furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a quali- fied installer, or service agency.

VENT/FLUE PIPE & COMBUSTION AIR PIPE

WARNING

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THIS SECTION.

WARNING

UPON COMPLETION OF THE FURNACE INSTALLATION, CAREFULLY INSPECT THE ENTIRE FLUE SYSTEM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE FURNACE TO ASSURE IT IS PROPERLY SEALED. LEAKS IN THE FLUE SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO EXPOSURE TO FLUE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE.

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting almost all of the heat from the products of combustion and cooling them to the point where condensation takes place. Because of the relatively low flue gas temperature and water con- densation requirements, PVC pipe is used as venting material.

This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L vent or vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of a fac- tory built or masonry chimney except when used as a pathway for PVC as described later in this section. Never common vent this appliance with another appliance or use a vent which is used by a solid fuel appliance. Do not use commercially available “no hub connectors” other than those shipped with this product.

It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers’ recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and connec- tors are compatible with furnace flue products. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and con- nections possess adequate structural integrity and support to pre- vent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during furnace opera- tion.

DUALCERTIFICATION:NON-DIRECT/DIRECTVENT

This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. Anon-direct vent installation requires only a vent/flue pipe, while a direct vent installation requires both a vent/flue pipe and a combustion air intake pipe. Refer to the appropriate section for details concerning piping size, length, number of elbows, furnace connections, and terminations.
