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:
RISQUE D’EMPOISONNEMENT AU
MONOXYDE DE CARBONED
Le non-respect des consignes suivantes portant
sur chacun des appareils raccordés au système
d’évacuation mis en service pourrait entraîner
l’empoisennement au monoxyde de carbone ou
la mort. Les consignes suivantes doivent être
observées pour chaque appareil raccordé au système
d’évacuation mis en service si les autres appareils
raccordés au système ne sont pas en service:
1. Sceller toute ouverture non utilisée de la systéme
d’évacuation;
2. S’assurer que la systéme d’évacuation présente
des dimensions et une pente horizontale
conformes à la norme ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54, intitulée National Fuel Gas Code ou aux
codes d’installation CSA-B149.1, ainsi qu’aux

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)
installationcodes.Consult local codes for special
requirements.

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.

• 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

ofamanualmainshut-offvalveandgroundjoint
unionexternaltothefurnaceasshowninFigure18
(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

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

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
