Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for the
CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Design the
ductwork in accordance with the recommended methods of “Air
Conditioning Contractors of America” Manual D.
Install the duct system in accordance with Standards of the Na-
tional Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air Condi-
tioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets No.
90A and 90B.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached
to the back of the furnace. Flexible joints may be used for supply
and return connections to reduce noise transmission. To prevent
the blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a
central return is used, a connecting duct must be installed be-
tween the unit and the utility room wall. Never us a room, closet, or
alcove as a return air chamber.
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the
furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream side
of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating element.
With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other means
used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent chilled
air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be
equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the
damper is in the full heat or cool position.
When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is recom-
mended that a removable access panel be provided in the outlet
air duct. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is
installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be
viewed for visual light inspection or such that a sampling probe
can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must be
made to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air en-
tering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a “lance
and cut” method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening in
the base pan. To remove, simply press out the lanced sections by
hand to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal over the
duct opening. Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and remove the
sheet metal to free the duct flanges. Using the scribe line along
the duct flange as a guide, unfold the duct flanges around the
perimeter of the opening using a pair of seamer pliers or seamer
tongs. NOTE: Airflow area will be reduced by approximately 18% if
duct flanges are not unfolded. This could cause performance is-
sues and noise issues.

Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter maintenance
with the building owner. Filters do not ship with this furnace, but
must be provided by the installer. Filters must comply with UL900
or CAN/ULCS111 standards. If the furnace is installed without fil-
ters, the warranty will be voided.
On upflow units, guide dimples locate the side return cutout
locations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the
dimples. Cut out the opening on these lines.
NOTE: An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow.
Refer to Minimum Filter Area tables to determine filter area require-
ments.
