5.UNIT LOCATION
The furnace shall be appropriately located to
the supply and return air distribution system.
(See “AIR DISTRIBUTION”, Page 8) Sides and
back of the furnace may be enclosed by wall
framing. (See “Minimum Clearances,” Table 4,
and Figures 2 through 5.)
The furnace installation is only intended for free
air return through the furnace door louvers. DO
NOT connect a ducted return air system di-
rectly to the furnace. Improper installation may
create a hazard and damage equipment, as well
as void all warranties.
Furnace may be installed on combustible floor-
ing when using NORDYNE Duct Connectors
(see Section 10).
When installed in a residential garage, the fur-
nace must be positioned so the burners and the
source of the ignition are located no less than
18 inches above the floor and protected from
physical damage by vehicles.

This heating appliance must be installed with
clearances not less than the minimums shown

installed with ample clearance for easy access
to the air filter, blower assembly, burner assem-
bly, controls, and vent connections.
a. Alcove installations (see Figure 2): minimum
18" clearance at front of furnace shall be
provided for future servicing. A removable
access panel should be installed between

b. Closet installations must use a louvered door
having a minimum free area of 235 sq. in.
when located 6" from furnace (See Figure 3)
