SIDE RETURN

Locate the “L” shaped corner locators. These indicate the size of the cut- out to be made in the furnace side panel. Refer to Figure 13, "Side Return Cutout Markings".

FIGURE 13: Side Return Cutout Markings

Install the side filter rack following the instructions provided with that accessory. If a filter(s) is provided at another location in the return air system, the ductwork may be directly attached to the furnace side panel.

Some accessories such as electronic air cleaners and pleated media may require a larger side opening. Follow the instructions supplied with that accessory for side opening requirements. Do not cut the opening larger than the dimensions shown in Figure 12, "Dimensions".

HORIZONTAL APPLICATION

Horizontal Filters

All filters and mounting provision must be field supplied. All installa- tions must have a filter installed.

Any branch duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum must attach to the vertical plenum before the filter. The use of straps and / or supports is required to support the weight of the external filter box.

Downflow Filters

Downflow furnaces typically are installed with the filters located above the furnace, extending into the return air plenum or duct. Any branch duct (rectangular or round duct) attached to the plenum must attach to the vertical plenum above the filter height.

Filter(s) may be located in the duct system external to the furnace using an external duct filter box attached to the furnace plenum or at the end of the duct in a return filter grille(s). The use of straps and/or supports is required to support the weight of the external filter box.

SECTION IV: GAS PIPING

GAS SAFETY

An overpressure protection device, such as a pressure regulator, must be installed in the gas piping system upstream of the furnace and must act to limit the downstream pressure to the gas valve so it does not exceed 0.5 PSI (14" w.c. (3.48 kPa). Pressures exceeding

0.5PSI (14” w.c. (3.48 kPa) at the gas valve will cause damage to the gas valve, resulting in a fire or explosion or cause damage to the furnace or some of its components that will result in property damage and loss of life.

FIGURE 14: Gas Valve

Plan your gas supply before determining the correct gas pipe entry. Use 90-degree service elbow(s), or short nipples and conventional 90-degree elbow(s) to enter through the cabinet access holes.

GAS PIPING INSTALLATION

Properly sized wrought iron, approved flexible or steel pipe must be used when making gas connections to the unit. If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance connection, always use a new listed con- nector. Do not use a connector that has previously serviced another gas appliance.

Some utility companies or local codes require pipe sizes larger than the minimum sizes listed in these instructions and in the codes. The furnace rating plate and the instructions in this section specify the type of gas approved for this furnace - only use those approved gases. The instal- lation of a drip leg and ground union is required. Refer to Figure 15, "Upflow/Downflow Gas Piping".

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.
