Increasing the clearance distances may be necessary if 
there is a possibility of distortion or discoloration of 
adjacent materials.
Accessibility
The Separated Combustion Duct Furnace is a bottom 
service access type. Allow a minimum of 25 inches 
(635 mm) at the bottom of the unit to facilitate servicing 
the burners and pilot. Provision should also be made to 
assure accessibility for recurrent maintenance purposes.
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 Separated Combustion 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.
 illustrate recommended ductwork 
designs for both the straight-through and elbowed air inlet 
arrangements.
Access panels large enough to observe smoke and 
reflected light, and to detect the presence of leaks in the 
heating equipment, are required both upstream and 
downstream from gas duct furnaces. These panels must 
be sealed to prevent air leaks. If allowed by local 
regulations, install canvas connectors between the 
ductwork and fan discharge opening to eliminate the 
transmission of sound.
Air Flow
The installation is to be adjusted to obtain an air 
throughput within the range specified on the appliance 
rating plate.
Bypass
When a gas duct furnace is installed to operate in 
conjunction with a summer air conditioning system, the 
cfm air delivery of the system blower should be adjusted 
to meet the design air volume requirements for cooling. If 
this cfm delivery is greater than that required for heating, 
resulting in a low air temperature rise, install a damper 
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.
