Furnace installation on combustible flooring is
permitted with combustible floor base available

from manufacturer. Read installation instructions

packaged with combustible floor base to correctly
install. See Figure 8.

TYPICAL ATTIC INSTALLATION

FIGURE 7

When using single wall vent pipe in horizon­
tal

installations,

horizontal

furnaces

with

14.50" high casings must be raised 1" to

have 6” clearance to combustible material.
See Figure 7.

c.

Install a platform under furnace that extends

a minimum 30" in front of furnace. This pro­
vides a work area and keeps insulating ma­
terials away from combustion air openings.
Secure platform to ioists.

WARNINOs

When a furnace Is installed

In an attic or other Insulated space, keep

all insulating materials at least 12" away
from furnace and all burner combustion
air openings. Failure to do so could cause
nausea, asphyxiation or fire, resulting In
damage. Injury, or death.

d.

Crawl Space Installation.

Furnace can be hung from floor joists or in­
stalled on suitable blocks or pad. Pad or
blocks should provide enough height to re­

duce potential for water damage. See Sec­
tion 7.

3.

Downflow Installation.

You must convert furnace from as-shipped con­

figuration for downflow furnace installation. See

Section 5.

DOWNFLOW FLOOR OPENING

FIGURE 8

See Figure 9 for installation diagram on com­
bustible floor.

4.

Service Clearance.

Allow minimum front clearance of 30 inches for service.
See Figure 6 or inside of front door for minimum service
clearance.

SECTION 7 — SUSPENDING FURNACE.

Some installations will require that furnace be suspended
from rafters or floor joists.

A common way to do this using threaded rods is shown in
Figure 10. Consider this means when people may walk un­
derneath furnace. Figure 11 shows another common suspen­
sion means using pipe strap. Other means that provide ad­
equate support may be used.

When furnace is not suspended in a crawl space, elevate

furnace off ground to avoid water damage and allow for air
conditioning coil drain.

Downflow position is approved for installation on
non-combustible flooring. Typical downflow fur­
nace installations are an alcove, attic, closet,
basement, garage, or utility room. See Figure 6

or furnace clearance plate for minimum clear­

ances to combustible materials.
