2 − After opening is cut, set additive base into opening.
3 − Check fiberglass strips on additive base to make sure
they are properly glued and positioned.
4 − Lower supply air plenum into additive base until ple-
num flanges seal against fiberglass strips.
NOTE − Be careful not to damage fiberglass strips.
Check for a tight seal.
5 − Set the furnace over the plenum.
6 − Ensure that the seal between the furnace and plenum
is adequate.
Installation on Cooling Coil Cabinet
1 − Refer to reverse−flow coil installation instructions for
correctly sized opening in floor and installation of cabi-
net.
2 − When cooling cabinet is in place, set and secure the
furnace according to the instructions that are provided
with the cooling coil. Secure the furnace to the cabinet.
3 − Seal the cabinet and check for air leaks.
Return Air Opening −− Downflow Units
Return air may be brought in only through the top opening
of a furnace installed in the downflow position. The follow-
ing steps should be taken when installing plenum:
1 − Bottom edge of plenum should be flanged with a
hemmed edge (See figure 11 or 12).
2 − Sealing strips should be used to ensure an airtight seal
between the cabinet and the plenum.
3 − In all cases, plenum should be secured to top of fur-
nace using sheet metal screws.
4 − Make certain that an adequate seal is made.
