Return Air Opening −− Downflow Units

Return air may be brought in only through the top opening of a furnace installed in the downflow position. The follow- ing steps should be taken when installing plenum:

1 − Bottom edge of plenum should be flanged with a hemmed edge (See figure 15 or 16).

FIGURE 13

2 − After opening is cut, set the combustible flooring base into opening.

3 − Check fiberglass strips on the combustible flooring base to make sure they are properly glued and posi- tioned.

4 − Lower supply air plenum into the combustible flooring base until plenum flanges seal against fiberglass strips.

NOTE − Be careful not to damage fiberglass strips. Check for a tight seal.

5 − Set the furnace over the plenum.

6 − Ensure that the seal between the furnace and plenum is adequate.
