or on the ceiling rafters. Note that the platform 
and the ceiling rafters must be able to support 
the weight of the furnace being installed. It can 
also be suspended from a ceiling in a basement 
or utility room in either a right to left airfl ow or 
left to right airfl ow.
When installed horizontally, the furnace must 
be raised above the surface to allow a drain 
trap to hang vertically below the furnace. This 
will allow for proper drainage of the condensate 
from the furnace.
Conversion of the 90+ Upfl ow Furnace for a 
Horizontal Right Installation.
1. Remove the hard “J” tube drain trap as-
sembly.
2. Place the 5/8” cap plug over the drain
tap in the header box from which the “J” 
drain trap assembly was removed.
3. Remove the piece of soft tubing running
from the in-line drain assembly to the 
header box and place a 1/2” vinyl cap 
over the drain tap in the in-line drain 
assembly.
4. Remove the grey tubing from the pres-
sure switch to the header box. Remove 
the 1/4” cap from the pressure tap on the 
right side of the header box and place it 
on the corresponding pressure tap on the 
opposite side of the header box.
Conversion of the 90+ Upfl ow Furnace for a 
Horizontal Left Installation.
Refer to Figure 4 for details and description 
of parts required for the horizontal left conver-
sion. 
1. Remove the hard “J” tube drain trap as-
sembly.
2. Ensure that the piece of soft tubing run-
ning from the in-line drain assembly to 
the header box is in place with the drain 
oriented downwards (See Figure 4).
3. Connect a draw trap to the right side of
the header on the furnace. The drain 
trap must be installed according to local 
code. NOTE: A downward slope must 
be maintained on the tube as it is routed 
through the furnace (when the furnace 
is in the horizontal position).
