III. GENERAL INSTALLATION
These Category Type IV furnaces are shipped completely assembled and wired (internally). See the
Dealer Receiving and Freight Claim Procedure Section of the price guide for parts shortage or damage.
The furnace and duct system must be adjusted to obtain a temperature rise of 55°F to 85°F through the
furnace after installation. (See rating label located on side panel inside the furnace vestibule). The
installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Codes (ANSI Z223.1 or latest edition) and with these instructions.
: This furnace is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings or structures under
construction.
Many of the chemicals used during construction, when burned, form acid bearing condensate that can
substantially reduce the life of the heat exchanger.
It is recommended that a commercially available CO alarm be installed in conjunction with any fossil fuel
burning appliance. The CO alarm shall be installed according to the alarm manufacturer’s installation
instructions and be listed in accordance with latest edition of the UL Standard for Single and Multiple
Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034, or the CSA International Standard, Residential Carbon
Monoxide Alarming Devices, CSA 6.19.
A. CODES AND CLEARANCES
The following items must be considered when choosing the size and location of the furnace.
1. All local codes and/or regulations take precedence over the instructions in this manual and should be
followed accordingly. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with these instructions,
regulations of the National Fire Protection Association, provisions of National Electrical Code
(ANSI/NFPA70 or latest edition), and the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1 or latest edition).
2. The BTU output capacity of the furnace proposed for installation should be based on a heat loss
