INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
When installing a propane storage tank, the contractor must
consider proper tank sizing, safety, efficiency, ground char-
acteristics and aesthetics. For a residential customer, the
size may range from 100-1,000 gallons, depending on house-
hold use. Typically, a 500 gallon tank is ample for an aver-
age four-bedroom home. However, it is best to consult your
local propane supplier to ensure the proper sizing for pro-
pane storage requirements. Determining the correct tank
size for each household is a function of demand, economy,
efficiency and convenience. It is a process that requires co-
operation between the propane supplier and customer.

WIRING HARNESS
The wiring harness is an integral part of this furnace. Field
alteration to comply with electrical codes should not be re-
quired. Wires are color coded for identification purposes.
Refer to the wiring diagram for wire routings. If any of the
original wire as supplied with the furnace must be replaced,
it must be replaced with wiring material having a tempera-
ture rating of at least 105° C. Any replacement wiring must
be copper conductor.
115 VOLT LINE CONNECTIONS
Before proceeding with electrical connections, ensure that
the supply voltage, frequency, and phase correspond to that
specified on the unit rating plate. Power supply to the fur-
nace must be N.E.C. Class 1, and must comply with all
applicable codes. The furnace must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the
latest edition of The National Electric Code, ANSI NFPA 70
and/or The Canadian Electric Code CSA C22.1.
Use a separate fused branch electrical circuit containing
properly sized wire, and fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or
circuit breaker must be sized in accordance with the maxi-
mum overcurrent protection specified on the unit rating plate.
An electrical disconnect must be provided at the furnace
location.
NOTE: Line polarity must be observed when making field
connections.

IN 90% FURNACE UPRIGHT UPFLOW INSTALLATIONS, THE DRAIN TRAP MUST
BE MOUNTED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE UNIT FROM THE JUNCTION
BOX.
THIS WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF WATER REACHING THE JUNCTION
BOX IN THE EVENT OF A BLOCKED DRAIN CONDITION.
Connect hot, neutral, and ground wires as shown in the wir-
ing diagram located on the unit’s blower door. Line polarity
must be observed when making field connections. Line volt-
age connections can be made through either the right or left
side panel.
The furnace is shipped configured for a right side (left side
for counterflow) electrical connection with the junction box
located inside the burner compartment. To make electrical
connections through the opposite side of the furnace, the
junction box must be relocated to the other side of the burner
compartment prior to making electrical connections.
NOTE: Wire routing must not interfere with circulator blower
operation, filter removal, or routine maintenance.
WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, INJURY, OR DEATH, THE
FURNACE MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL
CODES OR, IN THEIR ABSENCE, WITH THE LATEST EDITION OF THE
NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE.
