Read BEFORE proceeding:
• Each 4" duct opening provides 12 in.

2
of
noncloseable duct discharge area. Make sure that all clearances and temperature requirements are met and the seal is
airtight.
• Ducting into dead-air space with no return air, such as holding tank areas, does not count toward achieving minimum
discharge requirements.
• 2" ducts exiting into the return-air space count as part of the minimum discharge area and minimum CFM.
• As applicable, the medium and large Furnace can be installed as a bottom-discharge system in either a horizontal or
vertical position.

Plenum plates and gaskets are available for purchase through Dometic. If not using a Dometic gasket and plenum plate, seal the
Furnace to the hard ducting system using an approved foil tape, or use a gasket that has a 300° F minimum temperature rating
and a UL94-V0 rating.
