Clearances
Maintain adequate clearances around air openings into 
combustion chamber:
Accessibility
If the unit is a bottom service access type, allow a 
minimum of 21 inches (533 mm) at the bottom of the unit 
to facilitate servicing the burners and pilot, or six inches 
(152 mm) if the unit has a side access burner drawer. 
Provision should also be made to assure accessibility for 
recurrent maintenance purposes.
Drafts
Avoid installing the duct furnace in an extremely drafty 
location. Strong drafts may cause pilot outage. Units with 
intermittent pilot ignition may be preferable in areas 
where drafts cannot be avoided.
Atmospheres containing commercial solvents or 
chlorinated hydrocarbons will produce corrosive acids 
when coming in contact with the flames. This will greatly 
reduce the life of the gas duct furnace and may void the 
warranty. Avoid such areas.
The duct furnace must be installed on the positive 
pressure side of the air circulation blower.
Ductwork
Properly designed and installed ductwork, providing a 
uniformly distributed flow of air across the surfaces of the 
heat exchanger, is essential to satisfactory unit 
performance and life of the equipment.
All duct connection flanges/seams must be sealed to 
prevent air leaks. Sealant/tape must be suitable for 
temperatures 250°F (121°C) minimum.
If uniform air distribution is not obtained, install additional 
baffles and/or turning vanes in the ductwork.

WARNING
Combustible Materials!
Maintain proper clearance between the unit heat 
exchanger, vent surfaces, and combustible materials. 
Refer to unit nameplate and installation instructions for 
proper clearances. Improper clearances could result in a 
fire hazard. Failure to maintain proper clearances could 
result in death or serious injury or property damage.

Note:
When the clearances required for accessibility are greater than the 
minimum required safety clearances, the accessibility clearances 
take precedence.
WARNING
Fire Hazard!
If the gas duct furnace is to be used in a building 
classified as having a hazardous atmosphere, the 
installation must comply with the standards set by the 
National Board of Fire Underwriters. Consult the 
authorities having jurisdiction before starting the job. 
Failure to follow recommendations could result in 
death or serious injury.
NOTICE: 
Use 90° Duct Connection Flanges!
Ducts must be properly connected to duct furnaces for 
operation. Do not straighten the 90° duct connection 
flanges on the duct furnaces. Straightening the 90° duct 
connection flanges will affect the operation of the 
furnace and will void the warranty.
