1083292-UIM-A-01144 Johnson Controls Unitary ProductsINSPECTIONAs soon as a unit is received, it should be inspected for possible dam-age during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damageshould be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A separate request forinspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in writing. Also, beforeinstallation, the unit should be checked for screws or bolts which mayhave loosened in transit. There are no shipping or spacer bracketswhich need to be removed from the interior of this unit.FURNACE LOCATION AND CLEARANCESThe furnace shall be located using the following guidelines:1. Where a minimum amount of air intake/vent piping and elbows willbe required.2. As centralized with the air distribution as possible.3. Where adequate combustion air will be available (particularlywhen the appliance is not using outdoor combustion air).4. Where it will not interfere with proper air circulation in the confinedspace.5. Where the outdoor vent terminal will not be blocked or restricted.Refer to “VENT CLEARANCES” located in SECTION VII of theseinstructions. These minimum clearances must be maintained inthe installation.6. Where the unit will be installed in a level position with no more than1/4” (6.4 mm) slope side-to-side and front-to-back to provideproper condensate drainage.Installation in freezing temperatures:1. Furnace shall be installed in an area where ventilation facilitiesprovide for safe limits of ambient temperature under normal oper-ating conditions. Ambient temperatures must not fall below 32°F(0°C) unless the condensate system is protected from freezing.2. Do not allow return air temperature to be below 55ºF (13°C) forextended periods. To do so may cause condensation to occur inthe main heat exchanger, leading to premature heat exchangerfailure.3. If this furnace is installed in an unconditioned space and anextended power failure occurs, there will be potential damage tothe internal components. Following a power failure situation, donot operate the unit until inspection and repairs are performed.Clearances for access/service:Ample clearances should be provided to permit easy access to the unit.The following minimum clearances are recommended:1. Twenty-four (24) inches (61 cm) between the front of the furnaceand an adjacent wall or another appliance, when access isrequired for servicing and cleaning.2. Eighteen (18) inches (46 cm) at the side where access is requiredfor passage to the front when servicing or for inspection or replace-ment of flue/vent connections.In all cases, accessibility clearances shall take precedence over clear-ances for combustible materials where accessibility clearances aregreater.Installation in a residential garage:A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must beinstalled so the burner(s) and the ignition source are located not lessthan 18” (46 cm) above the floor, and the furnace must be located orprotected to avoid physical damage by vehicles.All furnaces approved for alcove and attic installation.FOR FURNACES INSTALLED IN THE COMMON-WEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS ONLYFor all side wall horizontally vented gas fueled equipment installed inevery dwelling, building or structure used in whole or in part for resi-dential purposes, including those owned or operated by the Com-monwealth and where the side wall exhaust vent termination is lessthan seven (7) feet above finished grade in the area of the venting,including but not limited to decks and porches, the following require-ments shall be satisfied:1. INSTALLATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. Atthe time of installation of the side wall horizontal vented gasfueled equipment, the installing plumber or gasfitter shallobserve that a hard wired carbon monoxide detector with analarm and battery back-up is installed on the floor level wherethe gas equipment is to be installed. In addition, the installingplumber or gasfitter shall observe that a battery operated orhard wired carbon monoxide detector with an alarm is installedon each additional level of the dwelling, building or structureserved by the side wall horizontal vented gas fueled equipment.It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to secure theservices of qualified licensed professionals for the installation ofhard wired carbon monoxide detectorsa. In the event that the side wall horizontally vented gasfueled equipment is installed in a crawl space or an attic,the hard wired carbon monoxide detector with alarm andbattery back-up may be installed on the next adjacent floorlevel.b. In the event that the requirements of this subdivision cannot be met at the time of completion of installation, theowner shall have a period of thirty (30) days to comply withthe above requirements; provided, however, that duringsaid thirty (30) day period, a battery operated carbon mon-oxide detector with an alarm shall be installed.2. APPROVED CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. Each car-bon monoxide detector as required in accordance with theabove provisions shall comply with NFPA 720 and be ANSI/UL2034 listed and IAS certified.3. SIGNAGE. A metal or plastic identification plate shall be perma-nently mounted to the exterior of the building at a minimumheight of eight (8) feet above grade directly in line with theexhaust vent terminal for the horizontally vented gas fueledheating appliance or equipment. The sign shall read, in printsize no less than one-half (1/2) inch in size, "GAS VENTDIRECTLY BELOW. KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUC-TIONS".4. INSPECTION. The state or local gas inspector of the side wallhorizontally vented gas fueled equipment shall not approve theinstallation unless, upon inspection, the inspector observes car-bon monoxide detectors and signage installed in accordancewith the provisions of 248 CMR 5.08(2)(a)1 through 4.Improper installation in an ambient below 32ºF (0°C) could create ahazard, resulting in damage, injury or death.Liquid anti-freeze will cause damage to internal plastic parts of thisfurnace. DO NOT attempt to winterize the furnace using liquidanti-freeze.Table 1: Unit Clearances to CombustiblesApplication Upflow Downflow HorizontalTop 1" 0" 0"Vent 0" 0" 0"Rear 0" 0" 0"Side 0" 0" 1"Front11.
