Installation Guide

Under some conditions, larger vents than those shown above may
be required or allowed. When an existing furnace is removed from
a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system may
be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
Upflow or Horizontal units are shipped with the induced draft
blower discharging from the top of the furnace. (“Top” is as viewed
for an upflow installation.) The induced draft blower can be
rotated 90 degrees with the (0270F01119) chimney transition
bottom kit for Category I venting. For upflow models installed
vertically or horizontally, a four inch single wall pipe can be used
to extend the induced draft blower outlet 1/2” beyond the furnace
cabinet. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR COUNTERCLOCKWISE
INDUCED DRAFT BLOWER ROTATION.
Vent the furnace in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition.
Venting - Furnace Installed in Horizontal Position
THIS FURNACE IS NOT DESIGN CERTIFIED TO BE HORIZONTALLY
VENTED THROUGH AN EXTERIOR SIDE WALL.
The following describes an optional venting procedure when the
furnace is installed in the horizontal left discharge position.
To rotate the induced draft blower clockwise, you will need to
purchase one (0270F01119) chimney transition bottom kit.
1. Disconnect electrical power from the furnace.
2. Disconnect the induced draft blower power leads, flue pipe,
and pressure switch tubing.
3. Remove the round cutout from the right side of the wrapper.
4. Remove and save the four screws that fasten the induced
draft blower to the flue collector box.
5. Remove and save the three screws that hold the chimney
assembly to the induced draft blower.
6. Remove and save the four screws that fasten the chimney
top to the chimney bottom.
7. Remove the chimney transition bottom from the transition
bottom kit.
8. Install the chimney top with the four screws retained from
step 6 onto the new chimney transition bottom from the
transition bottom kit.
9. Remove the induced draft blower and install the new
chimney assembly to it using the three screws retained
from step 5.
10. Rotate the induced draft blower 90 degrees to the right,
feed the flue pipe through the round cutout from the outside
of the wrapper, and fit onto the chimney top assembly.
Secure the pipe to the chimney top from the front, top, and
bottom using (3) screws and rotating the induced draft
blower to properly orient the assembly. NOTE: If the pipe
section is less than 18”, then attach it directly to the chimney
top on 3 sides and feed it through the round cutout from the
inside of the wrapper.
11. Reattach the induced draft blower using the (4) screws
retained from step 3. Ensure the gasket located between
the induced draft blower and collector box is rotated
accordingly.
12. Reconnect the induced draft blower power leads.
13. Reconnect the remaining flue pipe, and the pressure switch
tubing. Ensure that all wires and the pressure switch tubing
is at least one inch from the flue pipe, or any other hot
surface.
14. Restore power to furnace.
NOTE: In a horizontal installation the air conditioning coil must
be adequately supported by proper brackets and supports.
Inadequate coil support can result in furnace cabinet distortion
and air leakage.
Counterflow units are shipped with the induced draft blower
discharging from the top of the furnace. (“Top” as viewed for a
counterflow installation.)
Vent the furnace in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1-latest edition.

WARNING
If a B vent liner is to be used, it must be supported adequately.
Supports (such as fire stops or thimbles) must be used to prevent
the B vent from coming into direct contact with the tile liner or
chimney walls. Direct contact would result in higher heat loss,
with an increased possibility of poor venting system performance.
It is not acceptable to vent one appliance inside the B vent and
other appliances outside. The excess space between the B vent and
the chimney walls must be covered at the top of the chimney by a
weatherproof, corrosion resistant flashing.
The B vent shall then be topped with a listed vent cap.
