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 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 NORDYNE

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-ﬁred burning appliance to their

previous conditions of use.

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)

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.

Condensate Drainage

WARNING:

The condensate produced by the furnace must

be drained. Do not connect a water supply to

the drainage hose of the furnace.

CAUTION:

Do not install additional traps in the condensate

drain.

• If the furnace is installed in an area where

temperatures fall below freezing, special precautions

must be made for insulating condensate drain lines

that drain to the outdoors. If condensate freezes

in the lines, this will cause improper operation or

damage to the furnace. It is recommended that

all drain lines on the outside of the residence be

wrapped with an industry approved insulation or

material allowed by local code.

• Beforeroutingthedraintubeoutofthefurnace,loosen

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

psig (14 inch W.C.), close the manual shut-off valve.

High Altitude Application
