Nomenclature

1. Natural Gas BTU/h; for altitudes above from 0’ to 4,500’ above sea level, reduce input rating 4% for each 1,000’ above 4,500’ altitude. Low-fire rate is 70% of high-fire rate.
2. DOE AFUE based upon Isolated Combustion System (ICS)
3. Minimum Circuit Ampacity = (1.25 x Circulator Blower Amps) + ID Blower amps. Wire size should be determined in accordance with National Electrical Codes. Extensive wire runs will require larger wire sizes.
4. Maximum Overcurrent Protection Device refers to maximum recommended fuse or circuit breaker size. May use fuses or HACR-type circuit breakers of the same size as noted.

Notes

• All furnaces are manufactured for use on 115 VAC, 60 Hz, single-phase electrical supply.
• Gas Service Connection ½” FPT
• Important: Size fuses and wires properly and make electrical connections in accordance with the National Electrical Code and/or all existing local codes.

Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials

C = If placed on combustible floor, the floor MUST be wood ONLY.

Notes:

• For servicing or cleaning, a 24” front clearance is recommended.
• Unit connections (electrical, flue, and drain) may necessitate greater clearances than the minimum clearances listed above.
• In all cases, accessibility clearance must take precedence over clearances from the enclosure where accessibility clearances are greater.
• Refer to the appropriate USA and Canadian codes:

– In the USA: the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1
– In Canada: the Canada National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B142.2

GCVC80 Dimensions

Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials

Approved for line contact in the horizontal position.

1. 24” clearance for serviceability recommended.
2. Single Wall Vent (SW) to be used only as a connector. Refer to the venting tables outlined in the Installation Manual for additional venting requirements.

All furnaces ship as high speed for cooling. Installer must adjust blower speed as needed.
For most jobs, about 400 CFM per ton when cooling is desirable.
Do not operate above .5” w.c. ESP in heating mode. Operating CFM between .5” and .8” w.c. is tabulated for cooling purposes only
