is used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor
personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to
highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation,
reliability, or operation.
The 345MAV Multipoise Condensing Gas-Fired Furnaces are
CSA (formerly AGA and CGA) design-certified for natural and
propane gases (see furnace rating plate) and for installation in
alcoves, attics, basements, closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and
garages. The furnace is factory-shipped for use with natural gas. A
CSA (formerly AGA and CGA) listed gas conversion kit is
required to convert furnace for use with propane gas.
See Fig. 3 for required clearances to combustibles.
Maintain a 1-in. clearance from combustible materials to supply air
ductwork for a distance of 36 inches horizontally from the furnace.
See NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpeting,
tile, or any other combustible material other than wood flooring. In
downflow installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring.
Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturer’s Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or when Coil
Box Part No. KCAKC is used.
The design of this furnace is NOT CSA (formerly AGA and CGA)
design-certified for installation in recreation vehicles or outdoors.
This furnace is designed for continuous return-air minimum
temperature of 60°F db or intermittent operation down to 55°F db
such as when used with a night setback thermostat. Return-air
temperature must not exceed 85°F db. Failure to follow these
return-air limits may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors,
and controls. (See Fig. 4.)
These furnaces are shipped with the drain and pressure tubes
connected for UPFLOW applications. Minor modifications are
required when used in DOWNFLOW, HORIZONTAL RIGHT, or
HORIZONTAL LEFT (supply-air discharge direction) applica-
tions as shown in Fig. 1. See details in Applications section.
These furnaces are shipped with the following materials to assist in
proper furnace installation. These materials are shipped in the main
blower compartment.
