Notes:

Natural Gas BTU/h ratings are for altitudes 0-4500' above sea level; reduce input rating by 4% for each 1000' above 4500'.
DOE AFUE is based upon Isolated Combustion System (ICS).
Vent and combustion air diameters may vary based on vent length. Refer to the latest National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 in USA, CAN/CSA B149.1/B142.2 in Canada).
Minimum Circuit Ampacity = (1.25 x Circulator Blower Amps) + ID Blower amps. Wire size determined by National Electrical Codes; extensive wire runs may require larger sizes.
Maximum Overcurrent Protection Device is the maximum recommended fuse or circuit breaker size.
All furnaces operate on 115 VAC, 60 Hz, single-phase electrical supply.
Gas Service Connection: 1½" FPT.
Ensure proper wire sizing and electrical connections per NEC and local codes.
For bottom return, failure to unfold flanges can reduce airflow by up to 18%, potentially affecting performance and noise.
A 24" front clearance is required for servicing/cleaning. Unit connections may require greater clearances than listed; accessibility clearance takes precedence.
