Installing Your Furnace

Installation should be done by a QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

Wall Installation

The furnace must be located on an outside wall. Minimum clearances from combustible materials:

Refer to Figure 1 showing clearance for installation of vent cap.

Leave at least three feet in front of the wall furnace for servicing and proper operation. The wall furnace must be installed in such a way that the external casing can be completely removed for servicing.

If there is a shelf above the furnace, it must be non-combustible. A minimum clearance of 4-inches (100 mm) is recommended between the furnace and the non-combustible shelf above it.

Gas equipment in residential garages must be installed so that all burners and burner ignition devices are located not less than 18-inches (460 mm) above the floor. Such equipment shall be located, or protected, so it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

The vent terminal of this direct-vent furnace must be located at least 9-inches (230 mm) from any opening through which flue gases could enter a building. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake must be located at least 12-inches (300mm) above grade.

WARNING: The nearest point of the vent cap should be a minimum horizontal distance of six (6) feet (1,830 mm) from any pressure regulator. In case of regulator malfunction, the six (6) feet (1,830 mm) distance will reduce the chance of gas entering the vent cap.

DO NOT COVER THE FURNACE.

Make sure that the correct gas supply is available. Conversion to another gas type must be performed by a qualified service technician. If the type of gas does not correspond to the type to be used (natural or propane gas), it must be converted to the correct type of gas. It is necessary to do the following two operations:

  1. Remove and change the pilot orifice with the correct gas type as shown below.
  2. Remove and change the burner orifice with the correct gas type as shown below.
  3. Remove and change the gas valve with the correct gas type as shown below.

    2. Connect a micro manometer to the test gauge B (Figure 8).
    3. Rotate the external screw “C” Figure 8 and set the pressure at the correct value.

Gas Supply

Check all local codes for requirements, especially for the size and type of gas supply line required. On natural gas lines less than 15" (380 mm) long, use 1/2" tube; on longer runs, use 3/4" iron tube or equal. On propane gas lines, please consult the propane gas supplier.

INSTALLING A NEW MAIN GAS SHUTOFF VALVE

Each furnace should have its own manual gas shutoff valve. A manual main gas shutoff valve should be located in the vicinity of the furnace. Where none exists, or where its size or location is not adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or relocation.

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the action of propane gas. The gas lines must be checked for leaks by the installer. This should be done with a soap solution watching for bubbles on all exposed connections, and if unexposed, a pressure test should be made. Correct all gas leaks before operating the furnace.

Never use an exposed flame to check for leaks. The furnace must be disconnected from piping at the inlet of the control valve and the pipe capped or plugged for a pressure test. Never pressure test with the furnace connected; the control valve will sustain damage!

A gas shutoff valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas line upstream of the gas control valve to aid in servicing. It is required by the National Fuel Gas Code that a drip line be installed near the gas inlet. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation and foreign particles may collect.

Use of the following gas connectors is recommended:

The above connectors may be used if accepted by the authorities having jurisdiction.

PRESSURE TESTING OF THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

  1. To check the inlet pressure to the gas valve, a plugged tapping, accessible for a test gauge connection, is provided on the gas valve. Figure 8 - A.
  2. The furnace and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
  3. The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

ATTENTION: If one of the above procedures results in pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14" w.c.; 3.5 kPa) on the furnace gas valve, it will result in a hazardous condition.

High Altitudes

(US ONLY)

For altitudes/elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m), ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4-percent for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level by reducing the manifold pressure at 8% rate on the gas supply. Maximum altitude allowed for installation is 5,500 feet (1680 m).

(CANADA ONLY)

The furnace is tested according to CGA 2.17 M91 for installation between 0 and 4,500 ft (0 and 1370 m) altitude. For altitudes/elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m), ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4-percent for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level by reducing the manifold pressure at 8% rate on the gas supply. Maximum altitude allowed for installation is 5,500 feet (1680 m).

HIGH ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

Based on the altitude of the installation site, reduce the manifold pressure specified in the “Technical Data” chart and as shown in the table below:

ALTITUDE MANIFOLD PRESSURE REDUCTION RATE
0-2,000 FT. 0%
2,000 - 3,000 FT. 8%
3,000 - 4,000 FT. 16%
4,000 - 5,000 FT. 24%
5,000 - 5,500 FT. 32%

First Firing the Furnace

Start the furnace following the instructions given in the "Operating Instructions". The first lighting may be difficult because of the air trapped in the gas lines. During initial firing of the furnace, residual manufacturing grease will bake out and smoke will occur, which is not a health danger. To prevent nuisance and operation of fire alarms, ventilate the room for the first two hours of operation.

Checking the Gas Inlet Pressure

The gas inlet pressure can be measured by connecting a test gauge to the connection provided on the gas valve. (Figure 8 - A) Once installation is complete, the gas inlet pressure must be checked. The minimum gas inlet pressure must be as shown in “Technical Data”. After checking the gas inlet pressure, disconnect the test gauge and firmly tighten the screw of the gauge connection, then check for gas leaks. Correct any gas leaks before operating the furnace.

Checking the Gas Manifold Pressure

The gas manifold pressure can be measured by connecting a test gauge to the connection provided on the gas valve. (Figure 8 - B). The furnace comes set from the factory at the correct manifold gas pressure. After the installation is completed, the gas manifold pressure must be checked both in Hi and Lo input. Turn the control knob to switch the unit from Hi to Lo input. The position of the knob in which this occurs depends on the actual room temperature. The gas manifold pressure must be as shown in “Technical Data”. Differences of plus or minus 0.1 in. w.c. are acceptable. If the Hi or Lo gas manifold pressures are different from the values given in the “Technical Data” or are more than 0.1 in. w.c., shut off the furnace and contact a qualified service technician for correction.

For instructions about adjustment of the manifold Hi and Lo pressures, see the "Servicing" section. After checking the gas manifold pressure, disconnect the test gauge and firmly tighten the screw of the gauge connection, then check for gas leaks from it. Correct any gas leaks before operating the furnace.

Using the Features of Your Furnace

Servicing Your Heater

All servicing activities must be performed by a qualified service technician or a service agency. The home owner may not service the furnace. The home owner must read this section to be informed of the periodic maintenance and checks that are required. All servicing (except on vent system) must be performed with the external casing removed. After any servicing, the external casing must be reinstalled properly.

Checking and Adjusting the Gas Manifold Pressure

The furnace comes set from the factory at the correct HI and LO gas manifold pressures as shown in “Technical Data". It is recommended to check the pressures periodically (minimum once a year). If adjustment is required, this can be done by adjusting screws “C” and “D”. (Figure 8) A test gauge must be connected as explained in “Checking the Gas Manifold Pressure".

PROCEED AS FOLLOWS

  1. Place the unit in the HI mode.
  2. Adjust the HI pressure by turning screw “C” (pressure regulator) to the value given in “Technical Data”. Turn clockwise to increase the pressure, turn counterclockwise to decrease it.
  3. Turn the control knob clockwise until the gas control switches to LO mode. The position in which this occurs depends on the actual room temperature.
  4. Loosen screw "D" until the correct value for the LO pressure is achieved. Turn clockwise to decrease the pressure, turn counterclockwise to increase it.
  5. Switch the unit from LO to HI mode to check that both the HI and LO pressures are correct. A tolerance of plus or minus 0.1-inches w.c. on the pressure value is acceptable. Readjust if needed.
  6. Disconnect the test gauge and firmly tighten the screw of the gauge connection, then check for gas leaks from it.

The HI and LO pressures must be adjusted as instructed above. Never adjust them independently of each other.

Checking, Removing and Reassembling of the Vent Air Intake System

It is essential that the vent air intake system is examined periodically (minimum once a year) to verify it is clean from dust and deposits of solid materials such as leaves or nests. The vent air intake system is checked from outside. Proceed as follows:

  1. Remove the vent cap by removing the three outer screws. Figure 7.
  2. Remove the inner flue pipe. Do not use tools; the pipe can be extracted by hand.
  3. Remove dust and deposits from the vent cap and flue pipes. Deposits in the air pipe must be taken outside. Do not push them inside the furnace. The outer air pipe may not be removed from outside.
  4. Reinstall the flue pipe from outside. Do not use glue or sealants.
  5. Reinstall the vent cap on the flue pipe. Do not use glue or sealants. Tighten the three outer screws.

Lubrication of Moving Parts

This furnace does not require lubrication. Do not try to lubricate any part of the furnace such as motors, bearings, keys, knobs, screws, etc.

Flame Visual Check

Correct and proper operation may be checked by examining the burner flame. The flame may be examined through the front flame viewer. The flame must be stable and have blue color. Some small yellow tips are acceptable with propane gas. If the flame is yellow or has excessive turbulence, check the gas manifold pressure and the vent air intake system. If these are not acceptable, call a qualified service technician for a complete check of the furnace. Call also your gas supplier to check the composition of the gas in use.

Annual Maintenance Requirements

  1. Clean fan blades.
  2. Clean air blower.
  3. Check and clean silicone red pipes.
  4. Check air flow switch.
  5. Clean and check exhaust flue pipe and air intake pipe. Check red O-Ring Gasket (P332612). If it is damaged, replace it.
  6. Check for gas leaks on all connections.
  7. Check and adjust gas pressure.

Diagrams show locations for checking gas inlet pressure (pipeline), gas burner pressure adjustment, and gas manifold pressure (burner).
