INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

HUD Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standards (3280.714) prohibit the use

of noncertiﬁed air conditioning or heat pump

equipment with this furnace. It is strongly

recommended that NORDYNE manufactured

housing air conditioning components

(Intertherm or Miller brands) be selected

to provide a matched system speciﬁcally

designed to meet these requirements.

The cutting, splicing or modifying of any

internal electrical wiring may void product

warranties and create a hazardous condition.

Failure to comply with these standards could

also provide inadequate heating or cooling

performance and cause structural damage

to a manufactured home.

Please contact your local Intertherm or Miller

distributor for help. A directory of NORDYNE

factory authorized service is located in the

furnace homeowner packet.

COMBUSTION AIR & VENTING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for

each appliance connected to the venting system

being placed into operation could result in carbon

monoxidepoisoningordeath.Thefollowingsteps

shall be followed with each individual appliance

connected to the venting system being placed in

operation, while all other appliances connected to

the venting system are not in operation:

1. Seal any unused openings in the venting

system.

2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and

horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CSA

B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Codes and these instructions. Determine that

there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,

corrosion and other deﬁciencies which could

cause an unsafe condition.

3. As far as practical, close all building doors and

windows and all doors between the space in

which the appliance(s) connected to the venting

system are located and other spaces of the

building.

4. Close ﬁreplace dampers.

5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance

not connected to the venting system. Turn on

anyexhaustfans,suchasrange hoodsand

bathroomexhausts,sotheyareoperatingat

maximum speed. Do not operate a summer

exhaustfan.

6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the

appliance being inspected into operation.

Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating

continuously.

7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped

appliances at the draft hood relief opening

after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use

the ﬂame of a match or candle.

8. If improper venting is observed during any of

the above tests, the venting system must be

corrected in accordance with the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA

B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation

Codes.

9. After it has been determined that each appliance

connected to the venting system properly vents

when tested as outlined above, return doors,

windows,exhaustfans,replacedampersand

anyothergas-redburningappliancetotheir

previous conditions of use.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Important Information

WARNING:

Furnace installation using methods other than

those described in the following sections must

comply with the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC)

and all applicable local codes.

WARNING:

Upon completion of the furnace installation,

carefully inspect the entire ﬂue system both

inside and outside the furnace to assure it is

properly sealed. Leaks in the ﬂue system can

result in serious personal injury or death due

toexposureofueproducts,includingcarbon

monoxide.

WARNING:

This furnace must not be vented with other

appliances, even if that appliance is of the

condensing type. This includes water heaters

of any efﬁciency. Common venting can result

in severe corrosion of other appliances or their

venting and can allow combustion gases to

escape through such appliances or vents. Do

not vent the furnace to a ﬁreplace chimney or

building chase.

• This furnace must be vented in compliance with

the current revision of the National Fuel Gas Code

(ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA54). Instructions for determining

the adequacy of combustion air for an installation

can be found in the current revision of the NFGC

(ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54). Consult local codes for

special requirements. These requirements are for

USinstallationsasfoundintheNFGC.

• TherequirementsinCanada(B149.1)arestructured

differently. In Canada, venting shall conform to the

requirementsofthecurrent(CAN/CGAB149.1or.2)

CIRCULATING AIR REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:

Do not allow combustion products to enter the

circulating air supply. Failure to prevent the

circulation of combustion products into the

living space can create potentially hazardous

conditions including carbon monoxide

poisoning that could result in personal injury

or death.

All supply ducts must be secured to the furnace

with sheet metal screws and adequately sealed.

When supply air is provided through the bottom

of the unit, the joint between the furnace and

the plenum must be air tight.

The surface that the furnace is mounted on must

provide sound physical support of the furnace

with no gaps, cracks or sagging between the

furnace and the ﬂoor or platform.

Supply air ducts must not be connected to

any other heat producing device such as a

ﬁreplace insert, stove, etc. This may result in

re, explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning,

personal injury, or property damage.

AVERTISSEMENT:

GAS SUPPLY & PIPING

• All gas piping must be installed in compliance with

local codes and utility regulations. In the absence

of local codes the gas line installation must comply

with the latest edition of the Federal Manufactured

Home Constructions & Safety Standard (H.U.D. Title

24, Part 3280.707[a][2]), National Fuel Gas Code

(ANSI Z223.1) or (CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2) Installation

Codes.

ofamanualmainshut-offvalveandgroundjoint

unionexternaltothefurnaceasshowninFigure17

(page 18).The shut-off valve should be readily

accessible for service and/or emergency use.

Consult the local utility or gas supplier for additional

requirements regarding placement of the manual

maingasshut-off.

• Gaspipingmustneverruninorthroughairducts,

chimneys, gas vents, or elevator shafts.

• Compoundsusedonthreadedjointsofgaspiping

must be resistant to the actions of LP propane gas.

• Themaingasvalveandmainpowerdisconnectto

in case emergency shutdown is required.

• Flexiblegasconnectorsarenotrecommendedfor

this type of furnace but may be used if allowed by

local jurisdiction. Only new exible connectors

may be used. Do not use a connector which has

previously serviced another gas appliance.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failuretofollowsafetywarningsexactlycould

result in serious injury or property damage.

Never test for gas leaks with an open ﬂame.

Use a commercially available soap solution

made speciﬁcally for the detection of leaks

tocheckallconnections.Areorexplosion

may result causing property damage, personal

injury or loss of life.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When pressure testing gas supply

lines at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.),

the gas supply piping system must be disconnected

from the furnace to prevent damage to the gas control

valve. If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2
