Suspended Installation of Horizontal Unit
This furnace may be installed in either an attic or a crawl
space. Either suspend the furnace from roof rafters or oor
joists, as shown in Figure 19, or install the furnace on a
platform, as shown in Figure 20. A horizontal suspension
kit (51W10) may be ordered from your distributor or use
equivalent.
NOTE: When the furnace is installed on a platform or with
the horizontal suspension kit in a crawl space, it must be
elevated enough to avoid water damage, accommodate
drain trap and to allow the evaporator coil to drain.
Platform Installation of Horizontal Unit
1. Select location for unit keeping in mind service and other
necessary clearances. See Figure 18.
2. Construct a raised wooden frame and cover frame with a
plywood sheet. If unit is installed above nished space,
fabricate an auxiliary drain pan to be installed under unit.
Set unit in drain pan as shown in Figure 20. Leave 8
inches for service clearance below unit for condensate
trap.
3. Provide a service platform in front of unit. When
installing the unit in a crawl space, a proper support
platform may be created using cement blocks.
4. Route auxiliary drain line so that water draining from
this outlet will be easily noticed by the homeowner.
5. If necessary, run the condensate line into a condensate
pump to meet drain line slope requirements. The pump
must be rated for use with condensing furnaces. Protect
the condensate discharge line from the pump to the
outside to avoid freezing.
6. Continue with exhaust, condensate and intake piping
installation according to instructions.
Typical Horizontal Application
Figure 19
This furnace can be installed in horizontal applications with
either right or left hand air discharge.
Refer to Figure 18 for clearances in horizontal applications.
NOTE: Heavy-gauge sheet metal straps may be used to
suspend the unit from roof rafters or ceiling joists. When
straps are used to suspend the unit in this way, support
must be provided for both the ends. The straps must not
interfere with the plenum or exhaust piping installation.
Cooling coils and supply and return air plenums must
be supported separately.
