additional access to a filter or electronic air cleaner, or to horizontal
installations desiring vent/flue (and combustion air intake) piping run
vertically from the side of the cabinet.
NOTE: Standard and alternate locations can be combined (i.e., an
installation may use the standard combustion air intake location but
use the alternate vent/flue location or vice versa), if needed.

The alternate vent/flue location is the large hole directlyin line with
the induced draft blower outlet. To use the alternate vent/flue loca-
tion refer to the following steps, the “Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts” figure,
and the “Alternate Vent/Flue Location” figure.
NOTE: Counterflow instructions follow the upflow instructions.
1. Remove and save the four screws securing the vent/flue
coupling to the furnace top panel.
Counterflow units.
Remove and save the four screws securing the vent/flue
coupling to the furnace basepan. Also remove the three
screws securing the furnace’s internal vent/flue piping to the
blower deck.
2. Upflow and Counterflow units.
Loosen the worm gear hose clamps on the rubber elbow and
detach it from both the induced draft blower and the vent/flue
pipe.
3. Upflow and Counterflow units.
Remove the vent/flue pipe from the furnace.
4. Cut the vent/ flue pipe at the elbow nearest the coupling end
of the pipe (see “ Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts” figure). The section of
pipe attached to the coupling will reach through the side panel
to the induced draft blower. Discard unused pipe and elbows.
Counterflow units.
Cut the vent/flue pipe 3.718 inches from the blower deck
coupling (see “Vent/Flue Pipe Cuts” figure). Save vent/flue
pipe attached to blower deck coupling for use in the alternate
location. Discard remaining pipe and elbows.

5. Remove plastic plug from alternate vent/flue location.
Relocate and install plug in standard vent/flue location (top
cover).
Counterflow units.
Remove plastic plug from alternate vent/flue location.
Relocate and install plug in standard vent/flue location
(basepan). Plug remaining hole in blower deck with plastic
plug included in the drain kit bag.
6. Upflow and Counterflow units.
Insert cut section of vent/flue pipe and coupling into alternate
vent/flue location. Using a rubber coupling and worm gear
hose clamps from the drain kit bag, attach the vent/flue pipe
and coupling to the induced draft blower. Secure the coupling
to the cabinet using the screws removed in step 1 or with
field-supplied 3/8” #8 self drilling screws.
WARNING
T
HE RUBBER ELBOW IS NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORAT A LOAD.
W
HEN THE
RUBBER ELBOW IS MOUNTED EXTERNALLY TO THE FURNACE CABINET,
EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ADEQUATELY SUPPORT FIELD-SUPPLIED
VENT/FLUE PIPING, AS DAMAGE CAN RESULT IN LEAKS CAUSING BODILY
INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO EXPOSURE TO FLUE GASES, INCLUDING CARBON
MONOXIDE.
7. Upflow and Counterflow units.
For upright installations, externally mount the rubber elbow
to the vent/flue coupling using a worm gear hose clamp.
Secure field supplied vent/flue piping to the rubber elbow
using a worm gear hose clamp. NOTE: Use of the alternate
vent/flue location for upright installations, requires the drain
trap be installed on the same side of the unit as the flue pipe.
8. Upflow and Counterflow units.
For horizontal installations, externally secure the field-
supplied vent/flue pipe directly to the vent/flue coupling using
a PVC or ABS coupling or elbow.
