LOCATION
WARNING
This furnace is not watertight and is not designed for
outdoor installation. This furnace shall be installed
in such a manner as to protect the electrical
components from water. Outdoor installation would
lead to a hazardous electrical condition and to
premature furnace failure.
CAUTION
For an attic installation it is important to keep
insulation 12" or more away from any furnace
openings. Some types of insulating materials may
be combustible.
attic instailation. As this unit may be installed as an
upflow or horizontal furnace, it may be located in a
basement, on the same level as the area to be heated,
suspended, or in a crawlspace. In any case, the unit
should always be installed level.
In a basement, or when installed on the floor (as in a
crawlspace), it is recommended that the unit be installed
on a concrete pad that is 1" to 2" thick.
When installed in a horizontal position, the furnace may
be suspended by using an angle iron frame, as long as
the total weight of both the furnace and the frame are
allowed for in the support calculations. (Other methods of
suspending are acceptable.)
The required minimum clearances for this furnace in all
positions are specified in Figure 5.
The furnace should be located as close as possible to the
chimney or vent in order to keep vent connections short
and direct. The furnace should also be located as near
as possible to the center of the air distribution system.
Air for Combustion and Ventilation:
This furnace should be installed in a location in which the
facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of
oil, proper venting and the maintenance of ambient
temperature at safe limits under normal conditions of use.
The location should not interfere with proper circulation of
air within the confined space.
In addition to air needed for combustion, process air shall
be provided as required for: cooling of equipment or
material, controlling dew point, heating, drying, oxidation
or dilution, safety exhaust and odor control.
In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall be
supplied for ventilation, including all air required for
comfort and proper working conditions for personnel.
The barometric draft regulator, included with the furnace,
shall be installed in the same room or enclosure as the
furnace in such a manner as to prevent any difference in
pressure between the regulator and the combustion air
supply.
Air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen
ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be
considered in determining the adequacy of a space to
provide combustion air requirements.
This furnace is approved for reduced clearances to
combustible construction, therefore, it may be installed in
an alcove or similar enclosure. It is also approved for
