59TP6B Gas Furnace
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper use or installation of this furnace may result in premature furnace
component failure. Unless otherwise prohibited, this gas furnace may be used
for heating buildings under construction provided that:
- The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided, sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower, causing a flame rollout and/or drawing combustion products into the structure.
- The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be “hot wired” to provide heat continuously to the structure without thermostatic control.
- Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and other construction materials. It also prevents the entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.
- The temperature of the return air to the furnace is maintained between 55°F (13°C) and 80°F (27°C), with no evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while the structure is under construction is deemed to be intermittent operation per our installation instructions.
- The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the furnace rating plate, and the gas input rate has been set to the nameplate value.
- The filters used to clean the circulating air during the construction process must be either changed or thoroughly cleaned prior to occupancy.
- The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary to remove drywall dust and construction debris from all HVAC system components after construction is completed.
- Verify proper furnace operating conditions including ignition, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and venting according to these installation instructions.
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING / COMPONENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death and
unit component damage.
Corrosive or contaminated air may cause failure of parts containing flue gas,
which could leak into the living space. Air for combustion must not be
contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide,
and iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and shorten furnace
life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches,
cleaning solvents, salts, air fresheners, and other household products. Do not
install furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Make sure all
combustion and circulating air requirements are met, in addition to all local
codes and ordinances.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Introduction
Direct Vent (2-pipe) Applications
When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe) furnace, no special
provisions for air for combustion are required. However, other gas appliances
installed in the space with the furnace may require outside air for
combustion. Follow the guidelines below to ensure that other gas appliances
have sufficient air for combustion.
Non-Direct Vent (1-pipe) Applications
When the furnace is installed as a non-direct vent (1-pipe) furnace, it will
be necessary to ensure there is adequate air for combustion. Other gas
appliances installed with the furnace may also require air for combustion and
ventilation in addition to the amount of combustion air and ventilation air
required for the furnace. Follow the guidelines below to ensure that the
furnace and other gas appliances have sufficient air for combustion.
Ventilated Combustion Air Applications (for U.S. Only)
When the furnace is installed using the ventilated combustion air option, the
attic or crawlspace must freely communicate with the outdoor to provide
sufficient air for combustion. The combustion air pipe cannot be terminated in
attics or crawlspaces that use ventilation fans designed to operate during the
heating season. If ventilation fans are present in these areas, the combustion
air pipe must terminate outdoors as a Direct Vent/ 2-Pipe system.
All air for combustion is piped directly to the furnace from a space that is
well ventilated with outdoor air (such as an attic, crawl space or equipment
closet) and the space is well isolated from the living space or garage. In
addition, other gas appliances installed in the space with the furnace may
require outside air for combustion. Follow the guidelines below to ensure that
the roof or crawlspace walls have sufficient free area to provide sufficient
air for combustion and ventilation for the furnaces. The guidelines below can
be used to ensure that other gas appliances have sufficient air for
combustion. Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:
- USA Installations: Section 9.3 of the current edition of NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation and applicable provisions of the local building codes.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volume of at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUh input rating for all gas appliances installed in the space.
- Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUh (4.8 cubic meters per kW) require the Outdoor Combustion Air Method.
- Spaces having at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUh (4.8 cubic meters per kW) may use the Indoor Combustion Air, Standard or Known Air Infiltration Method.
CAUTION
FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds, which
include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements can corrode
heat exchangers and shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in
aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products.
