Horizontal Installation in an Attic or Crawlspace

The non-condensing furnace may be installed in an attic or crawl space in the horizontal position by placing the furnace on its left or right side (as viewed from the front in the vertical position). The horizontal furnace installation in an attic should be on a service platform large enough to allow for proper clearances on all sides and service access to the front of the furnace. See the “Locations and Clearances,” p. 12. Line contact is only permissible between lines formed by intersections of the top and two sides of the furnace casing and building joists, studs, or framing.
The furnace may be placed horizontally in a crawl space on a pad or other noncombustible material. Place blocks underneath to support the furnace and raise the unit for sufficient protection from moisture.
The furnace may be installed hanging in a hanging position using straps. The furnace should be supported at both ends and have an additional support in the center of the furnace in back.

Piping 8

The furnace is shipped standard for left side installation of gas piping.
A cutout with plug is provided on the right side for an alternate gas piping arrangement.
The installation of piping shall be in accordance with piping codes and the regulations of the local gas company. Pipe joint compound must be resistant to the chemical reaction with liquefied petroleum gases.

Important: Iflocal codes allow the use offlexible gas appliance connector, always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector which has previously serviced another gas appliance.
Refer to the piping table for delivery sizes. Connect gas supply to the unit, using a ground joint union and a manual shut-off valve. National codes require a condensation drip leg to be installed ahead of the gas valve.
The furnace and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Note: Maximum pressure to the gas valve for natural gas is 13.8″ W. C. Minimum pressure is 5.0″ W.C. Maximum pressure to the gas valve for propane is 13.8″ W.C. Minimum pressure is 11.0″ W.C.

Combustion and Input Check

  1. Make sure all gas appliances are off except the furnace.

  2. Clock the gas meter with the furnace operating (determine the dial rating of the meter) for one revolution.

  3. Match the “Sec” column in the gas flow table with the time clocked.

  4. Read the “Flow” column opposite the number of seconds clocked.

  5. Use the following factors if necessary:
    a. For 1 Cu. Ft. Dial Gas Flow CFH = Chart Flow Reading ÷ 2
    b. For 1/2 Cu Ft. Dial Gas Flow CFH = Chart Flow Reading ÷ 4
    c. For 5 Cu. Ft. Dial Gas Flow CFH = 10X Chart Flow Reading ÷ 4

  6. Multiply the final figure by the heating value of the gas obtained from the utility company and compare to the nameplate rating. This must not exceed the nameplate rating.

High Altitude Derate

Input ratings (BTUH) of these Furnaces are based on sea level operation and should not be changed at elevations up to 2,000 ft. (610 m).
If the installation is 2,000 ft. (610 m) or above, the Furnace input rate (BTUH) shall be reduced 4% for each 1,000 ft. above sea level.
Installations of this furnace at altitudes above 2,000 ft. (610 m) shall be made utilizing the Part Numbers for Replacement Orifices table in these installation instructions.
The Furnace input rate shall be checked by clocking the gas flow rate (CFH) and multiplying by the heating value obtained from the local utility supplier for the gas being delivered at the installed altitude.
Input rate changes can be made by adjusting the Manifold Pressure (min 3.0 – max 3.7 in. W.C. – Natural Gas) or changing orifices (orifice change may not always be required).
If the desired input rate can not be achieved with a change in Manifold Pressure, then the orifices must be changed. Propane installations will require an orifice change.
See the table for help in selecting orifices if orifice change is required.
Furnace input rate and temperature rise should be checked again after changing orifices to confirm the proper rate for the altitude.

General Venting
VENT PIPING

These furnaces have been classified as Fan-Assisted Combustion System, Category I furnaces under the “latest edition” provisions of ANSI Z21.47 standards. Category I furnaces operate with a non-positive vent static pressure and with a flue loss of not less than 17 percent.
Multistory and common venting are permitted for these furnaces. Venting systems shall be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, local codes, and this installation manual.
If desired, a side wall termination can be accomplished through the use ofa listed “add-on” draft inducer. The inducermustbe installed according to the inducer manufacturer’s instructions. Set the barometric pressure reliefto achieve –0.02 inch water column.
The furnace shall be connected to a factory built chimneyor vent complying with a recognized standard, ora masonryorconcrete chimney lined with a lining material acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.

VENTING INTO A MASONRY CHIMNEY
If the chimney is oversized, the liner is inadequate, or flue-gas condensation is a problem in your area, consider using the chimney as a pathway or chase for type “B” vent or flexible vent liner. If flexible liner material is used, size the vent using the “B” vent tables, then reduce the maximum capacity by 20% (multiply 0.80 times the maximum capacity). Masonry Chimney Kit BAYVENT800B may be used with these furnaces (Upflow model furnaces only) to allow venting into a masonry chimney. Refer to the BAYVENT800B Installer’s Guide for application requirements.
INTERNAL MASONRY CHIMNEYS
Venting of fan assisted appliances into a lined, internal masonry chimney is allowed only if it is common vented with at least one natural draft appliance; OR, if the chimney is lined with type “B”, double wall vent or suitable flexible liner material

WARNING

Safety Hazard!
Failure to follow this warning could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The chimney liner must be thoroughly inspected to insure no cracks or other potential areas for flue gas leaks are present in the liner. Liner leaks will result in early deterioration of the chimney.

The following section does not apply ifBAYVENT800B (MasonryChimneyVent Kit) is used. All instructions with the kit must be followed.

Masonry Chimney Venting

Type Furnace| Tile Lined Chimney| Chimney Lining
Internal| External| “B” Vent| Flexible Metal Liner
Single Fan Assist| No| No| Yes| Yes (a)
Fan Assist + Fan Assist| No| No| Yes| Yes (a)
Fan Assist + Natural| Yes| No| Yes| Yes (a)

(a) Flexible chimney liner size is determined by using the type “B” vent size for the available BTUH input, then reducing the maximum capacity by 20% (multiply maximum capacity times 0.80). The minimum capacity is the same as shown in the “B” vent tables.

EXTERNAL MASONRY CHIMNEY
Venting of fan assisted appliances into external chimneys (one or more walls exposed to outdoor temperatures), requires the chimney be lined with type “B”, double wall vent or suitable flexible chimney liner material. This applies in all combinations of common venting as well as for fan assisted appliances vented alone.
The following installation practices are recommended to minimize corrosion caused by condensation of flue products in the furnace and flue gas system.

  1. Avoid an excessive number of bends.
  2. Horizontal runs should pitch upward at least 1/4″ per foot.
  3. Horizontal runs should be as short as possible.
  4. All vent pipe or connectors should be securely supported and must be inserted into, but not beyond the inside wall at the chimney vent.
  5. When vent connections must pass through walls or partitions of combustible material, a thimble must be used and installed according to local codes.
  6. Vent pipe through the roof should be extended to a height determined by National Fuel Gas Code or local codes. It should be capped properly to prevent rain water from entering the vent. Roof exit should be waterproofed.
  7. Use type “B” double wall vent when vent pipe is routed through cool spaces (below 60° F.).
  8. Where long periods of airflow are desired for comfort, use long fan cycles instead of continuous airflow.
  9. Apply other good venting practices as stated in the venting section of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 “latest edition”.
  10. Vent connectors serving appliance vented by natural draft or nonpositive pressure shall not be connected into any portion of a mechanized draft system operating under positive pressure.
  11. Horizontal pipe runs must be supported by hangers, straps or other suitable material in intervals at a minimum of every 3 feet of pipe.
  12. A furnace shall not be connected to a chimney or flue serving a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
  13. The flow area of the largest section of vertical vent or chimney shall not exceed 7 times the smallest listed appliance categorized vent area, flue collar area, or draft hood outlet area unless designed in accordance with approved engineering methods.

*Maximum Vent or Tile Lined Chimney Flow Area = [π(D)2 ]/4 X 7**

Air for Combustion and Ventilation

Adequate flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed from reaching the Furnace. Air openings provided in the Furnace casing must be kept free of obstructions which restrict the flow of air. Airflow restrictions affect the efficiency and safe operation of the Furnace. Keep this in mind should you choose to remodel or change the area which contains your Furnace. Furnaces must have a free flow of air for proper performance.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air shall be made in accordance with “latest edition” of Section 9.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54. Installation Codes, and applicable provisions of the local building codes. Special conditions created by mechanical exhausting of air and fireplaces must be considered to avoid unsatisfactory Furnace operation.

Furnace location may be in an unconfined space or a confined space.
Unconfined space are installations with 50 cu. ft. or more per 1000 BTU/hr input from all equipment installed. Unconfined spaces are defined in the table and illustration for various furnace sizes. These spaces may have adequate air by infiltration to provide air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases. Buildings with tight construction (for example, weather stripping, heavily insulated, caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), may need additional air provided as described for confined space.

Duct Connections

Air duct systems should be installed in accordance with standards for air conditioning systems, National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet No. 90. They should be sized in accordance with ACCA Manual D or whichever is applicable. Check on controls to make certain they are correct for the electrical supply.
Central furnaces, when used in connection with cooling units, shall be installed in parallel or on the upstream side of the cooling units to avoid condensation in the heating element, unless the furnace has been specifically approved for downstream installation. With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other means used to control flow of air shall be adequate to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace, and if manually operated, must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in full heat or cool position.
Flexible connections of nonflammable material may be used for return air and discharge connections to reduce the transmission of vibration.
Though these units have been specifically designed for quiet, vibration free operation, air ducts can act as sounding boards and could, if poorly installed, amplify the slightest vibration to the annoyance level.
When the furnace is located in a utility room adjacent to the living area, the system should be carefully designed with returns which minimize noise transmission through the return air grille. Although these winter air conditioners are designed with large blowers
operating at moderate speeds, any blower moving a high volume of air will produce audible noise which could be objectionable when the unit is located very close to a living area. It is often advisable to route the return air ducts under the floor or through the attic. Such design permits the installation of air return remote from the living area (i.e. central hall).
When the furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
For furnaces not equipped with a cooling coil, it is recommended that the outlet duct be provided with a removable access panel. The opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings using light assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the air stream. The removable cover must be sealed to prevent air leaks.

Where there is no complete return duct system, the return connection must be run full size from the Furnace to a location outside the utility room, basement, attic, or crawl space.
Do Not install return air through the back of the Furnace cabinet.
Do Not install return air through the side of the furnace cabinet on horizontal applications without following the guidelines in the Return Air Filters section in the figure for Horizontal furnace with side return.

Carbon monoxide, fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury, death, and/or property damage.
A variety of potential sources of carbon monoxide can be found in a building or dwelling such as gas-fired clothes dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters, furnaces and fireplaces. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that users of gas-burning appliances install carbon monoxide detectors as well as fire and smoke detectors per the manufactures installation instructions to help alert dwelling occupants of the presence of fire, smoke or unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. These devices should be listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Standards for Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034.

Note: The manufacturer ofyour Furnace DOES NOTtest any detectors and makes no representations regarding any brand or type ofdetector.
Note: Seal per local codes

In horizontal applications, the furnace must be supported with one of the following methods.

  1. Support below with non-combustible material as shown in the illustration.
  2. Use BAYHANG kit. See kit instructions.
  3. Use unistrut with cabling to provide support from under the unit.

General Start-up and Adjustment

The following sections give instructions for the general start-up and adjustment of the gas furnaces.
Preliminary Inspections

With gas and electrical power “OFF”, ensure:

  1. Duct connections are properly sealed.
  2. Filters are in place.
  3. Venting is properly assembled.
  4. Blower vestibule panel is in place and all screws in place.

Turn knob on main gas valve within the unit to the “OFF” position.
Turn the external gas valve to “ON”. Purge the air from the gas lines.
After purging, check all gas connections for leaks with a soapy solution.
—DO NOT CHECK WITH AN OPEN FLAME. Allow 5 minutes for any gas that might have escaped to dissipate. Turn the gas valve in the unit to the “ON” position.
Propane Gas being heavier than air may require forced ventilation.
Turn the toggle switch on the Gas Valve in the unit to the “ON” position.

Lighting Instructions

Lighting instructions appear on each unit. Each installation must be checked out at the time of initial start up to ensure proper operation of all components. Check out should include putting the unit through one complete cycle as outlined below.
Turn on the main electrical supply and set the comfort control above the indicated temperature. The igniter will automatically heat, then the gas valve is energized to permit the flow of gas to the burners.
After ignition and flame is established, the flame control module monitors the flame and supplies power to the gas valve until the comfort control is satisfied.

WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Failure to follow this Warning could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Do NOT attempt to manually light the furnace.

To shut off
For complete shutdown: Turn the toggle or control switch located on the main gas valve inside the unit to the “OFF” position and the external main gas shutoff valve to the “OFF” position. Disconnect the electrical supply to the unit.
Whenever your house is to be vacant, arrange to have someone inspect your house for proper temperature. This is very important during freezing weather. If for any reason your furnace should fail to operate damage could result, such as frozen water pipes.

CAUTION
FREEZE CAUTION!
Failure to follow this Caution could result in property damage or personal injury.
If complete furnace shutdown is done during the cold weather months, provisions must be taken to prevent freeze-up of all water pipes and water receptacles.

Control and Safety Switch Adjustment

LIMIT SWITCH CHECK OUT
The limit switch is a safety device designed to close the gas valve should the furnace become overheated. Since proper operation of this switch is important to the safety of the unit, it must be checked out on initial start up by the installer.
To check for proper operation of the limit switches, set the thermostat to a temperature higher than the indicated temperature to bring on the gas valve. Restrict the airflow by blocking the return air to the blower. When the furnace reaches the maximum outlet temperature as shown on the rating plate, the burners must shut off. If they do not shut off after a reasonable time and overheating is evident, a faulty limit switch is probable and the limit switch must be replaced. After checking the operation of the limit control, be sure to remove the paper or cardboard from the return air inlet, or reconnect the blower.

Furnace Combustion Air Exhaust Options

Note: Default is left side for electric and gas connections.
The following sections give instructions for the different furnace orientations and the options for venting the exhaust combustion air.

Sequence of Operation

Note: The seven-segmentLED readout is based on thermostat input to the IFC terminals.

Gas Heating

  1. R – W1 contacts close on the thermostat sending 24VAC to the W1 low voltage terminal of the IFC.
    Technician should read 24VAC from W1 to B/C. The seven segment LED will read: .

  2. The IFC performs a self-check routine and then confirms:
    a. Flame roll-out switches (FRS) 1 & 2, main thermal limit (TCO), and any reverse air flow (RAF) switches are closed by sending 24VAC out the HLO terminal and monitoring the HLI input.
    b. Pressure switch 1 (PS1) is open by sending 24VAC out the HLO terminal, through the limit switches, and monitoring the PS1 (3) input.
    Note: Ifa thermal limit is open, 24VAC will not be present at the pressure switch.

  3. After steps a & b are confirmed, the inducer relay is closed, energizing the inducer motor.

  4. As the inducer ramps up, PS will close.

  5. When PS closes, the igniter relay on the IFC will close. The igniter is energized. The igniter warm up is approximately 17 seconds.

  6. After the igniter warm up, the gas valve relay is closed, which energizes the gas valve solenoid to allow ignition.

  7. The first burner will ignite, and flame will crossover to the remaining burners, establishing current to the flame sensor. Proof of flame must be established within 4 seconds.
    Note: There are two flame sense pads located on the IFC marked as “FP”. To measure the flame current, use a VOMset to DCvolts. 1VDC= 1 micro-amp. Flame current will varydepending on the type ofmeterused. Typical flame current ranges from 0.75 – 3.0 micro-amps (0.75 – 3 VDC).

  8. Once the flame sense has been established, a timer on the IFC starts and the indoor blower will energize after the blower “Heat On Delay” has completed.
    The seven-segment LED for example will alternately read:
    • = Gas heating
    • = Tap 5

  9. When the temperature raises enough to satisfy the thermostat setting, contacts R-W1 will open.

  10. The gas valve relay will open, closing the gas valve.
    The inducer will continue to run for approximately 5 seconds to remove any combustion byproducts from inside the furnace.

  11. The indoor blower continues to run to remove heat from the heat exchangers. The “blower off” time is field adjustable through the IFC menu setup option.
    The seven-segment LED will read “ ” = Idle, no thermostat demand.

Cooling / Heat Pump

  1. R-Y1-G contacts on the thermostat close sending 24VAC to the Y1 and G low voltage terminals on the IFC. The technician should read 24VAC between Y1- B/C and between G-B/C.

  2. 24VAC is sent to the OD unit via thermostat wiring.

  3. The indoor blower ramps to the cooling airflow. The seven-segment LED, for example will alternately read:
    = Cooling / Heat Pump
    = Tap 7

  4. When the temperature is lowered / raised (HP mode) enough to satisfy the thermostat setting, contacts R-Y-G will open.

  5. The OD unit shuts off and the indoor blower shuts off, unless a blower “Cool Off Delay” has been enabled in the IFC setup menu options. The seven-segment LED will read “ ” = Idle, no thermostat demand.

Cooling / Heatpump with 2 Stage Airflow for Certain Ratings

ODU in the Seven Segment System menu must be changed to 2-1. Y2 from the thermostat must be connected to Y2 of the IFC. The thermostat must be setup for 2 stage cooling / heatpump.

  1. R-Y1-G contacts on the thermostat close sending 24VAC to the Y1 and G low voltage terminals on the IFC. The technician should read 24VAC between Y1-B/C and between G-B/C.

  2. 24VAC is sent to the OD unit via thermostat wiring.

  3. The indoor blower ramps to the cooling airflow.
    The seven-segment LED for example will alternately read:
    = Cooling / Heat Pump
    = Tap 4

  4. If the temperature continues to rise, the thermostat will close Y2 contacts and airflow will increase to 2nd stage. The seven-segment LED, for example will read:
    = Cooling / Heat Pump
    = Tap 7

  5. When the temperature is lowered / raised (HP mode) enough to satisfy the thermostat setting, contacts R-Y1-G will open.

The OD unit shuts off and the indoor blower shuts off, unless a blower “Cool Off Delay” has been enabled in the IFC setup menu options. The seven-segment LED will read “ ” = Idle, no thermostat demand.

Periodic Servicing Requirements

  1. GENERAL INSPECTION – Examine the furnace installation annually for the following items:
    a. All flue product carrying areas external to the Furnace (i.e. chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of obstruction. A vent screen in the end of the Vent (flue) Pipe must be inspected for blockage annually, if applicable.
    b. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.
    c. The return air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is sealed to the Furnace and terminates outside the space containing the Furnace.
    d. The physical support of the Furnace should be sound without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc., around the base so as to provide a seal between the support and the base.

  2. FILTERS – Filters should be cleaned or replaced (with high velocity filters only), monthly and more frequently during high use times of the year such as midsummer or midwinter.

  3. BLOWERS – The Blower size and speed determine the air volume delivered by the Furnace. The Blower motor bearings are factory lubricated and under normal operating conditions do not require servicing. Annual cleaning of the Blower wheel and housing is recommended for maximum air output, and this must be performed only by a qualified servicer or service agency.

  4. IGNITER – This unit has a special hot surface direct ignition device that automatically lights the burners. Please note that it is very fragile and should be handled with care. ! CAUTION Do NOT touch igniter. It is extremely hot.

  5. BURNER – Gas burners do not normally require scheduled servicing, however, accumulation of foreign material may cause a yellowing flame or delayed ignition. Either condition indicates that a service call is required. For best operation, burners must be cleaned annually using brushes and vacuum cleaner. Turn off gas and electric power supply. To clean burners, remove burner bottom plate (2 screws) and bottom burner bracket (2 screws). Twist burner towards slot, lift, and push forward away from orifice. Remove burners.
    Alternate method — Remove manifold assembly, bottom burner plate, and bottom burner bracket. Remove burners.
    Note: Be careful NOTto break igniterwhen removing burners.
    Clean burners with brush and/ or vacuum cleaner.
    Reassemble parts by reversal of the above procedure.
    Note: Natural gas units should not have anyyellow tipped flames. This condition indicates that a service call is required. Forbest operation, burners mustbe cleaned annually using brushes andvacuum cleaner
    Note: On Propane units, due to variations in BTU content and altitude, servicing maybe required at shorter intervals.

  6. HEAT EXCHANGER/ FLUE PIPE – These items must be inspected for signs of corrosion, and/ or deterioration at the beginning of each heating season by a qualified service technician and cleaned annually for best operation. To clean flue gas passages, follow recommendations below:
    a. Turn off gas and electric power supply.
    b. Inspect flue pipe exterior for cracks, leaks, holes or leaky joints. Some discoloration of PVC pipe is normal.
    c. Remove door from Furnace.
    d. Inspect around insulation covering flue collector box. Inspect induced draft Blower connections from recuperative cell and to the flue pipe connection.
    e. Remove burners. (See 5. Burner)
    f. Use a mirror and flashlight to inspect interior of Heat Exchanger, be careful not to damage the Igniter, Flame Sensor or other components.
    g. If any corrosion is present, the Heat Exchanger should be cleaned by a qualified service technician.
    h. After inspection is complete replace burners and Furnace door.
    i. Restore gas supply. Check for leaks using a soap solution. Restore electrical supply. Check unit for normal operation.

  7. COOLING COIL CONDENSATE DRAIN – If a cooling coil is installed with the Furnace, condensate drains should be checked and cleaned periodically to assure that condensate can drain freely from coil to drain. If condensate cannot drain freely water damage could occur.
