in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a 
hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed ac-
cording to recommended good practice requirements and 
current National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standard.
NOTE - Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature 
rise (100% percent capacity) within the range(s) specied 
on the unit nameplate. Failure to do so may cause erratic 
limit operation and may also result in premature heat ex-
changer  failure.  See  ““Duct  System”  on  page  10  for  in-
stalling the optional discharge air sensor used to measure 
temperature rise. Sensor is shipped with the unit.
This SLP99UHV furnace must be installed so that its elec-
trical components are protected from water.
Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be in-
stalled in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling 
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment. 
With  a  parallel  ow  arrangement,  a  damper  (or  other 
means to control the ow of air) must adequately prevent 
chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper is man-
ually operated, it must be equipped to prevent operation of 
either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full 
HEAT or COOL setting. See FIGURE 3.

When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes. In addition, in the United States, 
installation must conform with the current National Elec-
tric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code 
(ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following ad-
dress:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
NOTE - This furnace is designed for a minimum continu-
ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermittent 
operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where a 
night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature 
must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.
In Canada, all electrical wiring and grounding for the unit 
must be installed according to the current regulations of 
the Canadian Electrical Code Part I (CSA Standard C22.1) 
and/or local codes.
 CAUTION
Do not set thermostat below 60F (16C) in heating mode. 
Setting below 60F (16C) reduces the number of heating 
cycles. Damage to the unit may occur that is not covered 
by the warranty.
The SLP99UHV furnace may be installed in alcoves, clos-
ets, attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms.
This furnace is not designed for installation in mobile 
homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
Never use an open ame to test for gas leaks. Check all 
connections using a commercially available soap solution
made specically for leak detection.
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
Units may be used for heating of buildings or structures 
under construction, if the following conditions are met to 
ensure proper operation:
DO NOT USE THE UNIT FOR CONSTRUCTION HEAT 
UNLESS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA ARE 
MET:
•   Furnace must be in its nal location. The vent system 
must be permanently installed per these installation in-
structions.
•    Furnace must be installed as a two pipe system and 
one hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro-
vided for combustion air requirements during construc-
tion.
•    A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use 
of xed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is 
prohibited.
•   The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the 
furnace rating plate. 
•    Supply and Return air ducts must be provided and 
sealed to the furnace. Return air must be terminated 
outside of the space where furnace is installed.
•   Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and 
 80°F (27°C) must be maintained. 
•    MERV 11 or greater air lters  must be  installed in the 
system and must be regularly inspected and maintained 
(e.g., regular static checks and replaced at end of life) 
during construction.
•   Blower and vestibule access panels must be in place on 
the furnace at all times.
•   The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system, 
and evaporator coils must be thoroughly cleaned follow-
ing nal construction clean−up.
