Sub--base for Combustible Floors -- Downflow Coil
Adapter Box
The s ubbase for combustible floors is required when a downflow
furnace, used with a downflow coil box, is set on combustible
flooring.
1. Cut the opening in the floor according to the dimensions in
Table 5 because thebase is equipped withlocating tabs that
center the base over the opening.
The opening in the base is 1

Consideration must be given to the height of the base to allow for
easy installation of the condensate drain. See Figure 31.This
