These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpeting,
tile, or any other combustible material other than wood flooring. In
downflow installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring.
Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturer’s Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or when Coil
Box Part No. KCAKC is used.
The 58MXA 040 through 120 size units are C.S.A. design-certified
for use in manufactured (mobile) homes when factory accessory
conversion kit is used. The 140 size unit is NOT design-certified
for use in manufactured (mobile) homes. These furnaces are
suitable for installation in a structure built on site or a manufac-
tured building completed at final site. The design of this furnace
line is NOT C.S.A. design-certified for installation in recreation
vehicles or outdoors.
This furnace is designed for continuous return-air minimum
temperature of 60 °F db or intermittent operation down to 55°F db
such as when used with a night setback thermometer. Return-air
temperature must not exceed 85°F db. Failure to follow these
return air limits may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors
and controls. (See Fig. 4.)
These furnaces are shipped with the drain and pressure tubes
connected for UPFLOW applications. Minor modifications are
required when used in DOWNFLOW, HORIZONTAL RIGHT, or
HORIZONTAL LEFT (supply-air discharge direction) applica-
tions as shown in Fig. 1. See details in Applications section.
This furnace must be installed with a direct-vent (combustion air
and flue gas) system and a factory accessory termination kit. In a
direct-vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly from the
outdoor atmosphere and flue gases are discharged to the outside
atmosphere. See furnace and factory accessory vent-air intake
termination kit instructions for proper installation.
These furnaces are shipped with the following materials to assist in
proper furnace installation. These materials are shipped in the main
blower compartment.
