Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom
return-air opening. Remove and discard this panel when bottom return
air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, see Fig. 24.
Horizontal Installation
NOTE: The furnace must be pitched forward as shown in Fig. 19 for
proper condensate drainage.
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawlspace on
either the left-hand (LH) or right-hand (RH) side. The furnace can be
hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or installed on a
non-combustible platform, blocks, bricks or pad.
Supply Air Connections
For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct shall be
provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall be
accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size that
the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings using light
assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the air stream. The
cover attachment shall prevent leaks.
Connect supply-air duct to flanges on furnace supply-air outlet. Bend
flange upward to 90° with wide duct pliers. See Fig. 20. The supply-air
duct must be connected to ONLY the furnace supply-outlet-air duct
flanges or air conditioning coil casing (when used). DO NOT cut main
furnace casing side to attach supply air duct, humidifier, or other
accessories. All supply-side accessories MUST be connected to duct
external to furnace main casing.
Return Air Connections
The return-air duct may be connected to bottom of the furnace. The side
of casing that faces downward may also be used for return air
connection. A combination of the bottom and downward facing side may
also be used. The upward facing side of the casing cannot be used as a
return air connection. See Fig. 23.
Bottom Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom
return-air opening. Remove and discard this panel when bottom return
air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, see Fig. 24.
Side Return Air Inlet
These furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed in bottom
return-air opening. This panel MUST be in place when side return air
inlet(s) are used without a bottom return air inlet.
Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return air connections
See Fig. 23. Where required by code, seal bottom closure to furnace with
tape, mastic, or other durable sealing method.
