To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air
must be free of chemicals that can form corrosive acidic
compounds in the combustion gases. The recommended
source of combustion air is to use outdoor air. However,
the use of indoor air in most applications is acceptable
except as listed:
• Ifthefurnaceisinstalledasasinglepipeinstallation
in a confined space, it is required that the necessary
combustion air come from the outdoors by way of attic,
crawl space, air duct, or direct opening. For Installations
in confined spaces, see page 8 for combustion air
requirements.
• Installationsintheselocationsmayrequireoutdoorair
for combustion, due to chemical exposures:
Commercial buildings
Buildings with indoor pools
Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms
Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas
• Exposuretothefollowingsubstancesinthecombustion
air supply may require outdoor air for combustion:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon Tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric Acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners
Masonry acid washing materials
Heating Load
This furnace should be sized to provide the design heating
load requirement. Heating load estimates can be made
using approved methods available from Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (Manual J); American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers;
or other approved engineering methods. 

The ductwork should be appropriately sized to the capacity
of the furnace to ensure its proper airflow rating. For
installations above 2,000 ft., the furnace should have a
sea level input rating large enough that it will meet the
heating load after deration for altitude.

This furnace is Design Certified in the U.S. and Canada
by CSA International for the minimum clearances to
combustible materials. NOTE: The furnace is listed for
installation on combustible or non-combustible flooring.
However, wood is the only combustible flooring allowed
for installation. Downflow models must use the appropriate
subase kit when installing over a wood floor. To obtain
model number and specific clearance information, refer
to the furnace rating plate, located inside of the furnace
cabinet.
Access for positioning and servicing the unit must be
considered when locating unit. The need to provide
clearance for access to panels or doors may require
clearance distances over and above the requirements.

Operating gas furnaces in construction environments can
cause a variety of problems with the furnace. Proper use
of commercial portable space heating equipment during
construction is recommended. This gas furnace may be
used during construction if it is not in violation of any
applicable codes and the following criteria are met:
• The installation mustmeetall applicablecodes.The
furnace must be permanently installed according to
the instructions supplied with the furnace including
electrical supply, gas supply, duct work and venting. The
furnace must be controlled by a thermostat properly
installed according to the instructions supplied with the
furnace and thermostat. The installation must include
a properly installed filter in the return air system with
no by-pass air. The filter must be inspected frequently
and replaced when necessary.
• Combustion air must be supplied from outside the
structure and located such that dust and gases
from construction activity are not introduced into the
combustion system.
• Provisions must be made to insure that condensate
does not freeze in the furnace or condensate drain
lines during operation and during idle times; for
example, overnight if turned off.
• Before occupying the structure: The lter must be
replaced or cleaned, the duct work must be inspected
and cleaned of any construction debris, and the
furnace must be cleaned and/or repaired if found to
be dirty, damaged, or malfunctioning in any way by
a qualified HVAC technician. The furnace shall be
inspected and approved by applicable local authority
even if this requires redundant inspections.
• Serialnumbersforfurnacesusedduringconstruction
must be submitted in writing (fax and email also
acceptable). This information will be used to track the
long-term affects of the use during construction on
furnaces. Proof of this submittal shall be available for
the final inspection of the furnace prior to occupancy.
• This furnace is designed to operate with return air
temperatures in ranges normally found in occupied
residences, including setbacks. Minimum continuous
return temperature must not be below 60° F (15° C).
Occasionally a temporary return temperature of 55° F
(12° C) is acceptable. However, operation with a return
temperature below 55° F (12° C) is not allowed.

This condensing furnace is certified for installation either as
a Direct Vent (2-pipe) or Conventional (1-pipe) appliance.
Direct Vent appliances draw combustion air from the
outdoors and vent combustion products back outside.
Installation with air taken from around the furnace is often
referred to as Conventional installation - i.e. only the vent
(exhaust) pipe is provided.
Another important consideration when selecting one or
two pipe installation is the quality of the Indoor air which
can sometimes be contaminated with various household
8
chemicals . These chemicals can cause severe corrosion
in the furnace combustion system. A 2-pipe installation
has the additional advantage that it isolates the system
from the effects of negative pressure in the house.

Direct Vent Furnaces
Direct Vent (2-pipe) furnaces draw combustion air directly
from the outdoors and then vent the combustion products
back outside, isolating the entire system from the indoor
space. It is important to make sure that the whole system
is sealed and clearances to combustibles are maintained
regardless of the installation being in a confined or
unconfined space.
    
Spaces
A confined space is an area with volume less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of
all appliances drawing combustion air from that space.
Furnace closets, small equipment rooms and garages are
confined spaces. Furnaces installed in a confined space
which supply heated air to areas outside the space must
draw return air from outside the space and must have the
return air ducts tightly sealed to the furnace. Ducts must
have cross - sectional area at least as large as the free area
of their respective openings to the furnace space. Attics
or crawl spaces must connect freely with the outdoors if
they are the source of air for combustion and ventilation.
The required sizing of these openings is determined by
whether inside or outside air is used to support combustion,
the method by which the air is brought to the space, and
by the total input rate of all appliances in the space. In
all cases, the minimum dimension of any combustion air
opening is 3 inches.
Air From Inside
If combustion air is taken from the heated space, the two
openings must each have a free area of at least one square
inch per 1,000 Btuh of total input of all appliances in the
confined space, but not less than 100 square inches of
free area. See Example and Figure 2.
EXAMPLE
If the combined input rate of all appliances is less than
or equal to 100,000 Btuh, each opening must have
a free area of at least 100 in
2
. If the combined input
rate of all appliances is 120,000 Btuh, each opening
must have a free area of at least 120 in

of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btuh of total appliance input.
The openings shall exchange directly, or by ducts, with
the outdoor spaces (crawl or attic) that freely exchange
with the outdoors. See Figure 3 (page 9).
Outdoor Air Using Vertical Ducts
If combustion air is taken from outdoors through vertical
ducts, the openings and ducts must have a minimum free
area of one square inch per 4,000 Btuh of total appliance
input. See Figure 4 (page 9).

Outdoor Air Using Horizontal Ducts
If combustion air is taken from outdoors through horizontal
ducts, the openings and ducts must have a minimum free
area of one square inch per 2,000 Btuh of total appliance
input. Ducts must have cross - sectional area at least as
large as the free area of their respective openings to the
furnace space. See Figure 5.
Air Directly Through An Exterior Wall
If combustion air is provided directly through an exterior
wall, the two openings must each have free area of at

Alternate Method of Providing Air from
Outside
If acceptable under local Codes, it is permitted to provide
outside air using one opening (See NFGC). Generally,
confined spaces must have two openings in the space for
combustion air. One opening must be within 12 inches of
the ceiling, and the other must be within 12 inches of the
floor. However, an alternative method recently adopted by
the NFGC uses one opening within 12 inches of the top
of the space. This method may be used if it is acceptable
to the local codes.
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET:
1. The opening must start within 12” of the top of the
structure and connect with the out of doors through
vertical or horizontal ducts or be ducted to a crawl or
attic space that connects with the out of doors.
2. The opening must have a minimum free area of 1 sq.
in. per 3,000 Btu per hour of the total input rating of all
equipment located in the enclosure.
3. The free area must not be less than the sum of all the
areas of the vent connectors in the enclosure.

Spaces
An unconfined space is an area including all rooms not
separated by doors with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all
appliances which draw combustion air from that space.
In general, a furnace installed in an unconfined space will
not require outside air for combustion. However, in homes
built for energy efficiency (low air change rates), it may
be necessary to provide outside air to ensure adequate
combustion and venting, even though the furnace is located
in an unconfined space. See Example below.
EXAMPLE
A space with a water heater rated at 45,000 Btuh
input and a furnace rated at 75,000 Btuh requires a
volume of 6,000 cubic feet [50 x (45 + 75) = 6,000] to
be considered unconfined. If the space has an 8 foot
ceiling, the floor area of the space must be 750 sq. ft.
(6,000 / 8 = 750).

Category IV appliances operate with positive vent pressure
and therefore require vent systems which are thoroughly
sealed. They also produce liquid condensate, which is
slightly acidic and can cause severe corrosion of ordinary
venting materials. Furnace operation can be adversely
affected by restrictive vent and combustion air piping.
The inducer assembly on this furnace can be rotated to
vent the flue products out of the top, left or right side. This
increases the flexibility of which direction the vent pipe
can exit the furnace.
Vent Pipe Material
Vent and combustion air pipe and fittings must be one
of the following materials in the list and must conform to
the indicated ANSI/ASTM standards.

*PolyPro
®
by DuraVent ..............................................ULC-S636
*When using PolyPro
®
, all venting and fittings must be from the same
manufacturer with no interchanging of other materials. Refer to specific
instructions supplied with the PolyPro vent kits
When joining PVC to PVC, use cement that conforms to
ASTM standard D2564. PVC primer must meet standard
ASTM F656. When joining ABS to ABS, use cement that
conforms to ASTM standard D2235. When joining PVC
to ABS, use cement as specified in procedure from ASTM
standard D3138
In Canada, all plastic vent pipes and fittings including
any cement, cleaners, or primers must be certified as a
system to ULC S636. However this requirement does not
apply to the finish flanges or piping internal to the furnace.
Vent Pipe Length & Diameter
In order for the furnace to operate properly, the combustion
air and vent piping must not be excessively restrictive.
• The ventingsystem shouldbedesignedtohavethe
minimum number of elbows or turns.
• Transitiontothenalventdiametershouldbedoneas
close to the furnace outlet as practical.
• Always use the same size or a larger pipe for
combustion air that is used for the exhaust vent.
Table 1 (page 10) indicates the maximum allowable pipe
length for a furnace of known input rate, when installed
with piping of selected diameter and number of elbows. To
use the table, the furnace input rate, the centerline length
and the number of elbows on each pipe must be known.
When estimating the length of vent runs, consideration
must be made to the effect of elbows and other fittings.
This is conveniently handled using the idea of “equivalent
length”. This means the fittings are assigned a linear
length that accounts for the pressure drop they will cause.
For example: a 2” diameter, long radius elbow is worth
the equivalent of 2.5 feet of linear run. A 90 degree tee
is worth 7 ft.
The equivalent lenghts of tees and various elbows are
listed in Table 1. Measure the linear length of your vent run
and then add in the equivalent length of each fitting. The
total length, including the equivalent fitting lengths, must
be less than the maximum length specified in the table.

This furnace has been certified for installation with zero
clearance between vent piping and combustible surfaces.
However, it is good practice to allow space for convenience
in installation and service.
• In the absence of local codes, the location of any
combustion air inlet relative to any vent terminal
must be at least 8 inches. This includes installations
involving more than one furnace.
• Thequalityofoutdoorairmustalsobeconsidered.Be
sure that the combustion air intake is not located near a
source of solvent fumes or other chemicals which can
cause corrosion of the furnace combustion system.
(See
page 5 for a sample list of substances).
• Routepipingasdirectaspossiblebetweenthefurnace
and the outdoors. Horizontal piping from inducer to
the flue pipe must be sloped 1/4” per foot to ensure
condensate flows towards the drain tee or PVC trap.
Longer vent runs require larger pipe diameters. Refer
to the Inducer & Venting Options section on page 17
for additional information.
• IfaDirectVent(2-pipe)systemisused,thecombustion
air intake and the vent exhaust must be located in the
same atmospheric pressure zone. This means both
pipes must exit the building through the same portion
of exterior wall or roof as shown in Figure 35 (page 46)
or Figure 40 (page 51).
• Piping must be mechanically supported so that its
weight does not bear on the furnace. Pipe supports
must be installed a minimum of every five feet along the
vent run to ensure no displacement after installation.
Supports may be at shorter intervals if necessary to
ensure that there are no sagging sections that can trap
condensate. It is recommended to install couplings
along the vent pipe, on either side of the exterior
wall (Figure 35 or Figure 40). These couplings may be
required by local code.
• If breakable connections are required in the
combustion air inlet pipe (if present) and exhaust vent
piping, then straight neoprene couplings for 2” or 3”
piping with hose clamps can be used. These couplings
can be ordered through your local furnace distributor.
To install a coupling:
1. Slide the rubber coupling over the end of the pipe that
is attached to the furnace and secure it with one of the
hose clamps.
2. Slide the other end of the rubber coupling onto the other
pipe from the vent.
12
3. Secure the coupling with the second hose clamp,
ensuring that the connection is tight and leak free.

• Vent and combustion air intake terminations shall
be installed as shown in Figure 7 & Figure 8 and in
accordance with these instructions:
• Venttermination clearancesmustbeconsistent with
the NFGC, ANSI 2223.1/NFPA 54 and/or the CSA
B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
Table 16 (page 43) lists the necessary distances
from the vent termination to windows and building air
intakes.
• Vent and combustion air intake terminations must
be located to ensure proper furnace operation and
conformance to applicable codes. A vent terminal
must be located at least 3 feet above any forced air
inlet located within 10 feet. This does not apply to
the combustion air inlet of a direct vent (two pipe)
appliance. In Canada, CSA B149.1 takes precedence
over these instructions. See Table 17 (page 45).
• Allminimumclearancesmustbemaintainedtoprotect

Existing Installations
When an existing furnace is removed from a vent system
serving other appliances, the existing vent system may
not be sized properly to vent the remaining appliances
(For example: water heater). An improperly sized venting
system can result in the formation of condensate, leakage,
or spillage. The existing vent system should be checked
to make sure it is in compliance with NFGC and must be
brought into compliance before installing the furnace.
NOTE: If replacing an existing furnace, it is possible you
will encounter an existing plastic venting system that is
subject to a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall.
The pipes involved in the recall are High Temperature
Plastic Vent (HTPV). 

Condensate Disposal
The method for disposing of condensate varies according
to local codes. Consult your local code or authority having
jurisdiction. Neutralizer kit P/N 902377 is available for
use with this furnace. 

This furnace has multiple options for positioning the vent
pipe as described in the, Vent and Inducer Assembly
Options section (page 17). Each of the condensate
drain lines must be J-trapped using field supplied parts.
After the condensate lines are J-trapped, they may be
combined together when routed to the drain.
For Installations where there is limited clearance for the
J-Trap (such as an attic where it may be installed between
ceiling joists), either side of the J-Trap can be shortened
to a minimum of 3 Inches. See Figure 11 (page 16).
to obtain clearances shown in Figure 7, a riser may be
provided as shown in Figure 9 (page 12). Insulation is
required to prevent freezing of this section of pipe. See
Table 3 (page 17) for vent freezing protection.
Outdoor Terminations - Vertical Venting
Termination spacing requirements from the roof and from
each other are shown in
Figure 10. The roof penetration
must be properly flashed and waterproofed with a plumbing
roof boot or equivalent flashing. Vent and combustion air
piping may be installed in an existing chimney which is
not in use provided that:

Damping ducts, flexible vibration isolators, or pleated
media-style filters on the return air inlet of the furnace
may be used to reduce the transmission of equipment
noise eminating from the furnace. These treatments can
produce a quieter installation, particularly in the heated
space. However, they can increase the pressure drop in
the duct system. Care must be taken to maintain the proper
maximum pressure rise across the furnace, temperature
rise and flow rate. This may mean increasing the duct size
and/or reducing the blower speed. These treatments must
be constructed and installed in accordance with NFPA and
SMACNA construction standards. Consult with local codes
for special requirements. For best sound performance,
install all the needed gaskets and grommets around
penetrations into the furnace, such as for electrical wiring.
FURNACE INSTALLATION
*SC , *SD & *SD-E series gas furnaces offer a wide range
of installation options, including installation in the upflow or

Before using Table 4, the number of pipes (1-pipe or 2-pipe)
connected to the furnace must be known. Find the proper
furnace style (upflow, horizontal, or downflow) and then
the side that the pipes will exit from the furnace. Finally
select the option that properly matches your installation
type. For *SC & *SL series, Figure 35, Figure 36, Figure 37,
Figure 38, or Figure 39. For *SD, *SD-E & *SM series, see
Figure 40, Figure 41, Figure 42, or Figure 43.
NOTE: It is important that Direct Vent (2-pipe) systems
maintain an airtight flow path from the air inlet to the flue
gas outlet. The furnace ships from the factory with two
holes in the cabinet for the air inlet and flue gas outlet.
In certain configurations, it is necessary to remove and
relocate a plastic plug in the furnace cabinet. If changing
the position of the air inlet and flue gas outlet, it is required
that the previous hole be closed off with the plastic plug to
maintain air tightness in the furnace. The hole locations
for all furnace series are shown in
Figure 31 and Figure 32.

to local codes. Consult your local code or authority
having jurisdiction.
• The condensate drain line must be trapped using
a kit (P/N- 922485) or field supplied parts. After the
drain trap, condensate can continue to the drain by
connecting to a recommended 3/4” ID minimum drain
line, but no smaller than the original tubing ID supplied
by the manufacturer. The drain line should slope
downward away from the furnace to ensure proper
drainage.

The 2” PVC tee, reducer, PVC Trap and 1/2” X 1/2” hose
barb are used when the inducer is rotated to vent out thru
the left or right side of the furnace cabinet. See Figure 21.
The 1/2” X 3/4” hose barb can be used to route the
condensate drain to the outside of the cabinet. It must
be installed from inside the cabinet with the threaded
end inserted thru the 1 1/16” hole. The condensate drain
should be connected to the barbed end. Attach 1” PVC
drain line to the threaded end. See Figure 31 (page 32)
or Figure 32 (page 33) for hole location.
Typical Orientation
1. Install the PVC Tee vertically on the 2” vent pipe that is
extending out the side of the cabinet. Permanently bond
them together using appropriate primer and cement.
Refer to the typical orientation shown in Figure 21.
2. Install the reducer or PVC trap (if supplied) on the bottom
end of the PVC Tee. Permanently bond them together
using appropriate primer and cement.
