TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

FG7T (C and L Series) ISEER Smartlite®

Two Stage, Variable Speed, Condensing Upflow/Horizontal and Downflow Gas Furnaces
Induced Draft – 95.1 AFUE
Input 60,000 – 120,000 Btuh

The high efficiency upflow gas furnace may be installed free standing in a utility room, basement, or enclosed in an alcove or closet. Upflow/horizontal units come ready for upflow or horizontal application. The extended flush jacket provides a pleasing “appliance appearance.” Design certified by CSA for application in Canada and the United States.

FEATURES and BENEFITS

  • • iSEER: Energy efficient brushless DC (ECM) motor gives
    up to 1 SEER point efficiency gain in cooling.
    • 100% fired and tested: All units and each component
    are tested on the manufacturing line.
    • Best packaging in the industry: Unique corner post
    design assures product will arrive to the homeowner dent
    free.
    • 30 second blower delay: At start-up assures a warm
    duct temperature at furnace start-up. Adjustable blower
    off settings (60, 90, 120 and 180 seconds).
    • 30 second post purge: Increases life of heat
    exchanger.
    • Two Stage Inducer: Optimizes efficiency on first stage
    heat and reduces sound levels.
    • Hot surface igniter: Innovative application of a
    silicon nitride type igniter. Utilizes proven Smartlite®
    technology.
    • Color coded wire harness: Designed to fit the
    components, all with quick-connect fittings for ease of
    service and replacement.
    • Flexible category IV venting system: May be vertically
    or horizontally vented using either a one-pipe or two-pipe
    system for maximum flexibility in installation.
    • High Static Blowers: All models equipped with high
    static blowers.
    • Low Boy Height: Easy to apply in low ceiling applications,
    works well with taller high SEER coils, easier to handle
    and install.
    • Tubular primary heat exchanger: Heavy gauge
    aluminized steel heat exchanger and stainless steel
    secondary heat exchanger assures a long life.
    • 90 second fixed cooling cycle blower-off delay
    (DR): Increases cooling performance when matched
    with a NORDYNE coil.
    • LP convertible: Simple burner orifice and regulator spring
    change for ease of convertibility.
    • Diagnostic lights for easy troubleshooting without
    counting flashes: Dedicated light for flame signal strength
    and 2 lights in combination to indicate all other fault codes
    with easy to recognize states without counting flashes.
    • Incorporates integrated control board: With
    connections for electronic air cleaner and humidifier.
    • Two piece door design: Enhances furnace appearance
    and uses captured screws to prevent losing door screws.
    • Blower Compartment: Sealed door to reduce air leakage
    and insulated for ultra quiet operation.
    • Sealed Vestibule: Reduces burner and inducer sound
    levels.
