3. Additional provisions may be necessary
for optional air conditioning or heat pump
if refrigerant lines are installed elsewhere
than at the front of the furnace.
4. The refrigerant and entrance supply opening
dimensions may be adjusted ± 1/2”.
Installing Duct Connector
NOTE: The duct connector is designed for use
on ducts down to 12” wide. On typical ducts,
the fi nger tab duct connector may be installed
using Method B. On narrow ducts, there may be
insuffi cient clearance to bend the tabs on two
sides of the fi nger tab duct connector. In such
cases, use Method C or D. For screw down duct
connector use method E. For Platinum models
always use method A.
Method A - Platinum Series
NOTE: Flex duct used must have a minimum
temperature rating of 200 ° F and meet all
other applicable codes and standards.
1. Place duct connector through opening in
fl oor. See Figure 9.
