Installation
AAON equipment has been designed for
quick and easy installation.
Unit Location
The curb should be mounted first and must
be located so that duct connections will be
clear of structural members of the building.
Verify rooftop or foundation can support the
total unit weight, including accessory
weights.
Do not position flue opening to discharge
into a fresh air intake of any other piece of
equipment. Unit should also be installed so
that the flow of combustion intake air is not
obstructed from reaching the furnace.
Vent opening must not be blocked by snow.
A minimum 12” curb must be used or the
vent outlet shall be greater than 12” off the
ground or roof.
Flue gas is dangerously hot and contains
containments. The user is responsible for
determining if vent gases may degrade
building materials.
The National Gas and Propane Installation
Code, B149.1 specifies a 6 ft. horizontal
vent terminal clearance to gas and electric
meters and relief devices.
Local codes may supersede or further place
restrictions on vent termination locations.

Setting the Curb

that the flue discharge vents are
located at least 120 inches away
from any opening through which
combustion products could enter the
building.
