2. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through horizontal
ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at least 1 sq in.
of free area per 2000 Btuh of the total input for all
equipment within the confined space. (See Fig. 13.)
3. When ducts are used, they must be of the same cross-
sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of ducts must not be less
than 3 in. (See Fig. 13.)
INSTALLATION
I. LEVELING LEGS (IF DESIRED)
When furnace is used in upflow position with side inlet(s), leveling
legs may be desired. (See Fig. 14.) Install field-supplied,
corrosion-resistant 5/16-in. machine bolts and nuts.
NOTE: The maximum length of bolt should not exceed 1-1/2 in.
1. Position furnace on its back. Locate and drill a 5/16-in.
diameter hole in each bottom corner of furnace. (See Fig.
14.) Holes in bottom closure panel may be used as guide
locations.
2. For each hole, install nut on bolt and then install bolt and
nut in hole. (Install flat washer if desired.)
