Step 6—Bottom Closure Panel
These furnaces are shipped with bottom enclosure panel installed
in bottom return-air opening. This panel MUST be in place when
side return air is used.
To remove bottom closure panel, perform following:
1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove 2 screws holding front filler
panel. (See Fig. 25.)
2. Rotate front filler panel downward to release holding tabs.
3. Remove bottom closure panel.
4. Reinstall front filler panel and screws.
Step 7—Gas Piping
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local
codes. Refer to current edition of NFGC in the United States.
Canadian installations must be made in accordance with NSCNG-
PIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.
Gas supply line should be a separate line running directly from
meter to furnace, if possible. Refer to Table 3 for recommended
gas pipe sizing. Risers must be used to connect to furnace and to
meter. Support all gas piping with appropriate straps, hangers, etc.
Use a minimum of 1 hanger every 6 ft. Joint compound (pipe dope)
should be applied sparingly and only to male threads of joints. Pipe
dope must be resistant to propane gas.
