KG7SD High Efficiency Single Stage Condensing Upflow Horizontal Gas Furnace Models
The high efficiency upflow gas furnace may be installed free standing in a utility room, basement, or enclosed in an alcove or closet. Upflow/horizontal units come ready for upflow or horizontal application. The extended flush jacket provides a pleasing “appliance appearance.” Design certified by CSA for application in Canada and the United States.
FEATURES and BENEFITS
- iSEER: Energy efficient, brushless DC (ECM) motor gives up to 1 SEER point efficiency gain in cooling.
- 100% fired and tested: All units and each component are tested on the manufacturing line.
- Best packaging in the industry: Unique corner post design assures product will arrive to the homeowner dent free.
- 30 second blower delay at start-up assures a warm duct temperature at furnace start-up. Adjustable blower off settings (60, 90, 120 and 180 seconds).
- 30 second post purge increases life of heat exchanger.
- Hot surface igniter: Innovative application of a silicon nitride type igniter. Utilizes proven Smartlite® technology.
- Color coded wire harness: Designed to fit the components, all with quick-connect fittings for ease of service and replacement.
- Flexible category IV venting system: May be vertically or horizontally vented using either a one-pipe or two-pipe system for maximum flexibility in installation.
- High Static Blowers: All models equipped with high static ECM blowers.
- 16 speeds for heating and cooling enables flexible airflow.
- Low Boy Height: Easy to apply in low ceiling applications, works well with taller high SEER coils, easier to handle and install.
- Tubular primary heat exchanger: Heavy gauge aluminized steel heat exchanger and stainless steel secondary heat exchanger assures a long life.
- 90 second fixed cooling cycle blower-off delay (TDR) increases cooling performance when matched with a Nortek Global HVAC coil.
- LP convertible: Simple burner orifice and regulator spring change for ease of convertibility.
- Diagnostic lights for easy troubleshooting without counting flashes: Dedicated light for flame signal strength and 2 lights in combination to indicate all other fault codes with easy to recognize states without counting flashes.
- Incorporates integrated control board with connections for electronic air cleaner and humidifier.
- Two piece door design enhances furnace appearance and uses captured screws to prevent losing door screws.
- Blower Compartment: Sealed door to reduce airleakage and insulated for ultra quiet operation.
- Sealed Vestibule reduces burner and inducer sound levels.
- Furnace Air Leakage: These furnaces comply with Energy Star cabinet air leakage requirement of less than or equal to 2%. Keep the conditioned air flowing to where it’s needed.

BLOWER PERFORMANCE – KG7SD
KG7SD FURNACES WITH FIXED SPEED HIGH EFFECIENCY BLOWERS


- Motor Switch Settings are for heating speeds using HEAT switches 1,2,3, & 4 and cooling speeds using COOL switches 5, 6, 7, & 8
- Two openings are required for airflows above 1,600 CFM if the filter(s) is (are) adjacent to the furnace
- Data is shown without filter
- Temperature rises in the table are approximate. Actual temperature rises may vary
- Cells shaded in gray indicate a temperature rise outside of the recommended range.
- When in low stage,the circulating airflow is 70% of the tables high value (2-stage furnaces only).

* NOTE:
- Subtract 2.5 ft. for each additional 2″ elbow and 3.5 ft. for each additional 3″ elbow.
- Two 45 degree elbows are equivalent to one 90 degree elbow.
- One short radius elbow is equivalent to two long radius elbows.
- Do not include termination elbows in calculation of vent length.
- This table is applicable for elevations from sea level to 2000 ft. For higher elevations decrease vent pipe lengths by 8% per 1000 ft. of altitude.
- Only the listed pipe materials are approved for use with KG7 condensing furnaces.
