8. For horizontal installations, line contact is permissible only

between lines formed by intersection of back and two sides

of furnace jacket, and building joists, studs or framing.

9. Residential garage installations require:

S

Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18″ (457.2mm)
above the floor.

S

Located or physically protected from possible damage by a
vehicle.

10. Local codes may require a drain pan under the entire furnace

and condensate trap when the furnace is installed in attic
application.

This furnace may be used for construction heat provided that all the
following conditions are met:

S

The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring,
piping, venting and ducting installed according to these
installation instructions. A return air duct is provided, sealed to
the furnace casing, and terminated outside the space containing
the furnace. This prevents a negative pressure condition as
created by the circulating air blower, causing a flame rollout
and/or drawing combustion products into the structure.

S

The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be “hot
wired” to provide heat continuously to the structure without
thermostatic control.

S

Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to
minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and other
construction materials. It also prevents the entrainment of
drywall dust into combustion air, which can cause fouling and
plugging of furnace components.

S

The temperature of the return air to the furnace is maintained
between 55° F (13° C) and 80° F (27° C) , with no evening
setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while the structure
is under construction is deemed to be intermittent operation per
our installation instructions.

S

The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the
furnace rating plate, and the firing rate has been set to the rating
plate value.

S

The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed or thoroughly
cleaned prior to occupancy.

S

The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary to
remove drywall dust and construction debris from all HVAC
system components after construction is completed.

S

After construction is complete, verify furnace operating
conditions including ignition, input rate, temperature rise and
venting according to these instructions.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury

or death.
Do NOT operate furnace in a corrosive atmosphere containing

chlorine, fluorine or any other damaging chemicals, which

could shorten furnace life.
Refer to Combustion & Ventilation Air section, Contaminated

Combustion Air for combustion air evaluation and remedy.

WARNING

Furnace Installation Considerations

The installation of the furnace for a given application will dictate
the position of the furnace, the airflow, ductwork connections, vent

and combustion air piping. Consideration must be given to the
following:

Condensate Trap and Drain Lines

The supplied condensate trap must be attached to the furnace side
panel on either the left or right side. For horizontal installations, the

drain trap is vertically attached to the side panel below the furnace.

A minimum clearance of 6″ (152.4mm) below the furnace is

required for the condensate trap. Downward slope of the

condensate drain line from the condensate trap to the drain location
must be provided. Adequate freeze protection of the drain trap and

the drain line must be provided. See “Condensate Drain Trap”

section for further details.

Leveling

Proper leveling of the furnace must be provided to insure proper

drainage of the condensate from the furnace. The furnace must be
level to within

″ (6.4mm) from front to back and from side to

side for upflow and downflow installations or top to bottom for
horizontal installations.

Vent and Combustion Air Connections

For venting information literature, contact www.carrier.com with

the complete model and serial number of the furnace.
On the Dual Certified furnace, the vent and combustion air pipes

attach to the furnace through the top panel for the upflow and
horizontal installations. For the downflow installation, the vent and

combustion air pipes attach to the furnace through the alternate

locations on the furnace side panels.
NOTE: On the Direct Vent furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the
furnace through the side panels. The combustion air pipe attaches to
the top panel or to the alternate location on the side panel.
On the Single Pipe furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the furnace
through the furnace side panels.
NOTE: Repositioning of the combustion blower is required for the
vent pipe connection to the furnace through the “right side” panel.
See “Vent and Combustion Air Piping” section for further details.

Fig. 3 -- Typical Horizontal Installation

This furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic, basement,

crawl space, alcove, or suspended from a ceiling in a basement or

utility room (See Fig. 3). Do not install furnace on its back as safety
control operation will be adversely affected.
