VENT SYSTEM

This furnace is certified to be installed with one of two possible vent configurations.

1.Horizontal vent system. This vent system can be installed com- pletely horizontal or combinations of horizontal, vertical, or offset using elbows.

2.Vertical vent system. This vent system can be installed completely vertical or a combination of horizontal, vertical, or offset using elbows.

VENT APPLICATIONS AND TERMINATION

When selecting the location for a combustion air / vent termination, the following should be considered:

1.Observe all clearances listed in vent clearances in these instruc- tions.

2.Termination should be positioned where vent vapors will not dam- age plants or shrubs or air conditioning equipment.

3.Termination should be located where it will not be affected by wind gusts, light snow, airborne leaves or allow recirculation of flue gases.

4.Termination should be located where it will not be damaged or exposed to flying stones, balls, etc.

5.Termination should be positioned where vent vapors are not objec- tionable.

6.Horizontal portions of the vent system must slope upwards and be supported to prevent sagging.

7.Direct vent systems must be installed so the vent and the combus- tion air pipes terminate in the same atmospheric zone. Refer to Figures 13 or 14.

Maintain 12” minimum clearance above highest anticipated snow level. Maximum 24” above roof.

VENTING MULTIPLE UNITS

Multiple units can be installed in a space or structure as either a single pipe configuration or a two-pipe configuration.

The combustion air side of the single pipe configuration shown in Figure 29 is referred to in these instructions as ambient combustion air supply. Follow the instructions for ambient combustion air installations, paying particular attention to the section on air source from inside the building. The vent for a single pipe system must be installed as specified in the venting section of these instructions with the vent terminating as shown in Figure 29. Each furnace must have a separate vent pipe. Under NO circumstances can the two vent pipes be tied together.

The combustion air side of the two-pipe configuration shown in Figure 30 can be installed so the combustion air pipe terminates as described in outdoor combustion air or ventilated combustion air sections in these instructions. Follow the instructions for outdoor combustion air or venti- lated combustion air and the instructions for installing the vent system with the vent terminating as shown in Figures 32 or 33. The two-pipe system must have a separate combustion air pipe and a separate vent pipe for each furnace. Under NO circumstances can the two combus- tion air or vent pipes be tied together. The combustion air and vent pipes must terminate in the same atmospheric zone.

TG9S*MP, GG9S*MP specifications

Johnson Controls has long been at the forefront of building efficiency solutions, and their TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP series exemplify this commitment. These two-stage, multi-position gas furnaces are designed for optimal comfort and performance in residential applications, and they come packed with a variety of features that enhance their efficiency and operational capabilities.

One of the standout features of the TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP furnaces is their efficient two-stage operation. This technology allows the unit to operate at a lower capacity most of the time, which translates into reduced energy consumption and costs. When the demand for heating increases, the furnace automatically shifts to a higher capacity, ensuring a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature. This flexibility not only enhances comfort but also extends the lifespan of the unit as it doesn't have to work harder than necessary.

Energy efficiency is a crucial characteristic of both models. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96%, these furnaces convert a significant amount of the fuel they consume into usable heat. Such efficiency ratings not only help in reducing energy bills but also have a positive impact on the environment by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.

Both models feature advanced technology in their design, including a fully modulating gas valve and a variable-speed blower motor. The modulating valve adjusts the gas flow in response to the thermostat’s signals, allowing for precise temperature control and improved comfort. Meanwhile, the variable-speed blower motor enhances airflow while operating quietly, significantly improving overall indoor air quality by promoting even heat distribution throughout the home.

From a structural standpoint, the TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP are built with durable materials designed for longevity. Their compact design allows for flexible installation options, whether in a closet, attic, or basement. The furnaces also come equipped with a robust heat exchanger crafted from high-quality materials, which ensures both reliability and efficiency.

In conclusion, the Johnson Controls TG9S*MP and GG9S*MP furnaces provide homeowners with efficient, reliable, and comfortable heating solutions. With advanced features such as two-stage operation, impressive AFUE ratings, and modern technology integrations, these models stand out in the market as dependable options for both energy savings and year-round comfort. Whether you're a homeowner looking to upgrade your heating system or a contractor seeking high-quality products for your clients, these furnaces represent a smart choice.
