WARNING
This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for natural gas at
standard altitude. Propane gas installations require an orifice change
to compensate for the energy content difference between natural and
propane gas.
For furnaces being converted to LP gas, it is strongly recommended
that a LPLP03 kit also be installed. The use of this kit will prevent
the furnace from firing when the LP gas supply pressure is too low
to support proper combustion.
High altitude installations may require both a pressure switch and
an orifice change. These changes are necessary to compensate
for the natural reduction in the density of both the gas fuel and the
combustion air at higher altitude.
For installations above 7000 feet, please refer to your distributor
for required kit(s).

Contact the distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate
manufacturer’s kits for propane gas and/or high altitude installations.
The indicated kits must be used to insure safe and proper furnace
operation. All conversions must be performed by a qualified installer,

Recommended Installation Positions
NOTE: Alternate “vertical” piping connections can not be used when
an upflow furnace is installed with supply air discharging to the
right, or when a counterflow furnace is installed with supply air
discharging to the left. In either case, use the standard flue and
combustion air piping connections.
ALTERNATE E LECTRICAL AND G AS L INE C ONNECTIONS
This furnace has provisions allowing for electrical and gas line
connections through either side panel. In horizontal applications
the connections can be made either through the “top” or “bottom”
of the furnace.
DRAIN PAN
A drain pan must be provided if the furnace is installed above a
conditioned area. The drain pan must cover the entire area under
the furnace (and air conditioning coil if applicable).
FREEZE PROTECTION
Refer to Horizontal Applications and Conditions - Drain Trap and
Lines.
FURNACE SUSPENSION
If the furnace is installed in a crawl space it must be suspended from
the floor joist or supported by a concrete pad. Never install the fur-
nace on the ground or allow it to be exposed to water. Refer to Loca-
tion Requirements and Considerations - Furnace Suspension for fur-
ther details.
