The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the design heating
load requirement plus any margin that occurs because of furnace model
size capacity increments. None of the furnace model sizes can be used if
the heating load is 20,000 BTU or lower. Use Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (Manual J and S); American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers; or other approved
engineering method to calculate heating load estimates and select the
furnace. Excessive oversizing of the furnace may cause the furnace
and/or vent to fail prematurely, customer discomfort and/or vent
freezing.
Failure to follow these guidelines is considered faulty installation and/or
misapplication of the furnace; and resulting failure, damage, or repairs
may impact warranty coverage.
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable instruction
literature.
NOTE: Remove all shipping materials, loose parts bag, and literature
before operating the furnace. See Table 3.
Table 3 – Loose Parts Bag
NOTE: The 40K models are the only furnaces that receive the outlet
restrictor in loose parts bag. See Maximum Equivalent Vent Length
Table for usage.
