WARNINGFIRE, EXPLOSION, AND CARBON MONOXIDEPOISONING HAZARDFailure to follow this warning could result in personalinjury, death, or property damage.Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace withcontrol compartment facing downward. Safety controloperation will be adversely affected. Never connectreturn -air ducts to the back of the furnace.The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawlspaceon either the left-hand (LH) or right-hand (RH) side. The furnacecan be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or installed on anon -combustible platform, blocks, bricks or pad.Platform Furnace SupportConstruct working platform at location where all required furnaceclearances are met. (See Table 2 and Fig. 27.) For furnaces with1 -in. (25 mm) clearance requirement on side, set furnace onnon -combustible blocks, bricks or angle iron. For crawlspaceinstallations, if the furnace is not suspended from the floor joists,the ground underneath furnace must be level and the furnace set onblocks or bricks.Suspended Furnace SupportThe furnace must be supported under the entire length of thefurnace with threaded rod and angle iron. (See Fig. 28.) Secureangle iron to bottom of furnace as shown.Roll-Out ProtectionProvide a minimum 12 -in. x 22 -in. (305 x 559 mm) piece of sheetmetal for flame roll-out protection in front of burner area forfurnaces closer than 12 -in. (305 mm) above the combustible deckor suspended furnaces closer than 12 -in. (305 mm) to joists. Thesheet metal MUST extend underneath the furnace casing by 1 -in.(25 mm) with the door removed.The bottom closure panel on furnaces of widths 17 -1/2 -in. (445mm) and larger may be used for flame roll-out protection whenbottom of furnace is used for return air connection. See Fig. 27 forproper orientation of roll-out shield.Supply Air ConnectionsFor a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct shallbe provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall beaccessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a sizethat the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings usinglight assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the airstream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks.Connect supply -air duct to flanges on furnace supply -air outlet.Bend flange upward to 90_ with wide duct pliers. (See Fig. 20.)The supply -air duct must be connected to ONLY the furnacesupply -outlet-air duct flanges or air conditioning coil casing(when used). DO NOT cut main furnace casing side to attachsupply air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All accessoriesMUST be connected to duct external to furnace main casing.Return Air ConnectionsThe return -air duct must be connected to bottom of the furnace.The side of casing that faces downward may also be used for returnair connection. A combination of the bottom and downwardfacing side may also be used. The side of the casing cannot beused as a return air connection. Bypass humidifier may be attachedinto unused return air side of the furnace casing. (See Fig. 26.)Bottom Return Air InletThese furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed inbottom return -air opening. Remove and discard this panel whenbottom return air is used. To remove bottom closure panel, performthe following:1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove 4 screws holding bottomplate. (See Fig. 22.)2. Remove bottom plate.3. Remove bottom closure panel.4. Reinstall bottom plate and screws.Side Return Air InletThese furnaces are shipped with bottom closure panel installed inbottom return -air opening. This panel MUST be in place whenside return air inlet(s) are used without a bottom return air inlet.Not all horizontal furnaces are approved for side return airconnections (See Fig. 26.)Filter Arrangement! WARNINGFIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONINGHAZARDFailure to follow this warning could result in fire, personalinjury or death.Never operate a furnace without a filter or filtration deviceinstalled. Never operate a furnace with filter or filtrationdevice access doors removed.FOR FURNACES SHIPPED WITH AMEDIA CABINETThere are no provisions for an internal filter rack in these furnaces.An external filter is required.The furnace is shipped with a factory-supplied Media FilterCabinet. The Media Filter Cabinet uses either a standard 1-in. (25mm) filter or 4-in. (102 mm) wide Media Filter which can bepurchased separately. A field supplied accessory air cleaner mayalso be used in place of the media cabinet.The Media Cabinet is sized for bottom return applications for usein upflow, downflow and horizontal applications. A 16 -in. (406mm) Media Cabinet is shipped with the 14 -3/16-in. (360 mm)furnace and includes block-off platesFor upflow side return applications, the Media Cabinet (or fieldsupplied accessory air cleaner) can be installed on the side of thefurnace or side and bottom when a bottom plenum is used. (SeeFig. 18 and 24.)For downflow applications, the Media Cabinet (or field suppliedaccessory air cleaner) must only be connected to the bottomopening on the furnace. See Fig. 18 and 25.For horizontal applications, the Media Cabinet (or field suppliedaccessory air cleaner) for all models can be connected to thebottom opening on the furnace. For side return use in thehorizontal position, refer to Fig. 26. If both side and bottomopenings are used in Fig. 26, each opening used will require afilter.The media cabinet (or field supplied accessory air cleaner) can alsobe installed in the common return duct prior to entering the returnair opening in any orientation.Refer to the instructions supplied with Media Cabinet or accessoryair filter for assembly and other details.See Table 5 for filter size details.59TP5A21
