VENTING AND COMBUSTIONAIR REQUIREMENTSGeneralProvisions must be made in the installation ofthis furnace to provide an adequate supply of airfor combustion. Detailed instructions for deter-mining the adequacy of an installation can befound in the current revision of the National FuelGas Code (ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54) or in appli-cable local building codes. Consult localcodes for special requirements. For Cana-dian installations consult Canadian InstallationsCodes and (CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2).

If the furnace is operated with inadequate air forcombustion one of the flame roll-out switcheslocated in the burner compartment or the ventswitch will open, turning off the gas supply to theburners. These safety devices are manuallyreset switches. DO NOT install jumper wiresacross these switches to defeat their function.DO NOT reset a switch without identifying andcorrecting the fault condition. If a switch must bereplaced, use only the correct part specified inthe Replacement Parts List.

Air openings in the furnace door, warm airregisters, and return air grilles must not berestricted.

Combustion Air QualityTo maximize heat exchanger life, the combus-tion air must be free of chemicals which formcorrosive acidic compounds in the combustiongases. The recommended source of combus-tion air is to use the outdoor air supply. How-ever, the use of indoor air in most applicationsis acceptable except as follows:1. If the furnace is installed in a confined space it

is recommended that the necessary combus-tion air come from the outdoors by way of attic,crawl space, air duct, or direct opening.

2. If outdoor combustion air is used, there must beno exposure to the installations or substanceslisted in Item 3 below.

3. The following types of installation may requireOutdoor Air for combustion, due to chemicalexposures:• Commercial buildings• Buildings with indoor pools• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms• Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms• Furnaces installed near chemical storage

areas

Exposure to the following substances in thecombustion air supply may also require Out-door Air for combustion:• Permanent wave solutions• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners• Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals• Water softening chemicals• De-icing salts or chemicals• Carbon tetrachloride• Halogen type refrigerants• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethyl-

ene)• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes,

etc.• Hydrochloric acid• Cements and glues• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers• Masonry acid washing materials

! CAUTION:Combustion air must not be drawn froma corrosive atmosphere.

! WARNING:Furnace installation using methods otherthan those described in the followingsections must comply with the NationalFuel Gas Code and all applicable localcodes to provide sufficient combustionair for the furnace.

Installation In An Unconfined SpaceAn unconfined space is an area including allrooms not separated by doors with a volumegreater than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of thecombined input rates of all appliances whichdraw combustion air from that space. Forexample, a space including a water heater ratedat 45,000 Btuh input and a furnace rated at75,000 Btuh requires a volume of 6,000 cubicfeet [50 x (45 + 75) = 6,000] to be consideredunconfined. If the space has an 8 foot ceiling,the floor area of the space must be 750 squarefeet (6,000 / 8 = 750). In general, a furnaceinstalled in an unconfined space will not requireoutside air for combustion. However, in “tight”buildings (with weather stripping and caulk toreduce infiltration), it may be necessary toprovide outside air to ensure adequate com-bustion and venting, even though the furnace islocated in an unconfined space.

Page 13: Gas Furnaces Installation Instructions - Dale SupplyF,K)G6RA-RK-MODELS… · *RA Full Size Series 80+ High Efficiency Upflow/Horizontal ... *RA 80+ Upflow/Horizontal *RK 80+ Downflow

13

Installation In A Confined SpaceA confined space is an area with volume lessthan 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of the com-bined input rates of all appliances drawing com-bustion air from that space. Furnace closets,small equipment rooms and garages are con-fined spaces. Furnaces installed in a confinedspace which supply heated air to areas outsidethe space must draw return air from outside thespace and must have the return air ducts tightlysealed to the furnace. A confined space musthave two openings into the space for com-bustion air. One opening must be within 12inches of the ceiling, and the other must bewithin 12 inches of the floor. The requiredsizing of these openings is determined bywhether inside or outside air is used to supportcombustion, the method by which the air isbrought to the space, and by the total input rateof all appliances in the space.

Horizontal Furnace InstallationThe *RA series furnaces can be installed hori-zontally in an attic, basement, crawl space oralcove. It can be suspended from a ceiling in abasement or utility room in either a right to leftairflow or left to right airflow. (See Figures 7 and8.)

If the furnace is to be suspended from the ceiling,it will be necessary to use steel straps aroundeach end of the furnace. These straps shouldbe attached to the furnace with sheet metalscrews and to the rafters with bolts. The furnacecould also be suspended by an angle iron framebolted to the rafters. (See Figure 7.)

Access for positioning and servicing must beconsidered when locating the unit. Refer toTable 3, Minimum Clearances to CombustibleMaterial, for clearance specifications.

Keep all insulating materials away from thelouvered door. Insulating materials may be com-bustible.

The *RA series furnace may be installed directlyon combustible wood flooring or supports, if type"B-1" vent pipe is used (See Figure 8). It isrecommended for further reduction of fire haz-ard that cement board or sheet metal be placedbetween the furnace and the combustible floorand extend 12 inches beyond the front of thelouvered door.

! WARNING:Furnaces installed with combustion airdrawn from a heated space which in-cludes exhaust fans, fireplaces, or otherdevices that may produce a negativepressure should be considered con-fined space installations.

See the venting section for venting guidelinesand specifications.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

GeneralThis furnace must be vented in compliancewith, the current revision of the National FuelGas Code (ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA54), with theinstructions provided below.

In Canada, venting shall conform to the require-ments of the current (CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2)installation codes. Consult local codes forspecial requirements.

For Category I furnace installations, the fur-nace shall be connected to a factory builtchimney or vent complying with a recognizedstandard, or a masonry or concrete chimneylined with a lining material acceptance to theauthority having jurisdiction. Venting into anunlined masonry chimney or concrete chim-ney is prohibited.

This furnace must never be vented to a chim-ney flue servicing a fireplace or other appliancedesigned to burn solid fuel. If the furnace ventis to be connected to a chimney serving afireplace, the fireplace must be sealed off fromthe chimney. Single wall metal vents shall not beused for Category I venting, Category I fur-naces must be vented vertically or near verti-cally.

The furnace vent, if metal, may be insulated iflocal codes allow. Any part of the vent system,metal vent only, not exposed to weather, butwhich are exposed to ambient temperaturesbelow 35° F must be insulated to prevent con-densation. All vent insulation shall be foil backedfiberglass of one inch minimum thickness.

Three sheet metal fasteners (field supplied)should be used to secure the vent pipe to thefurnace flue. These fasteners should be evenlyspaced around the flue diameter, if possible.

Category I - Common VentingWhen an existing furnace is removed from aventing system serving other appliances, theventing system is likely to be too large toproperly vent the remaining appliances. Animproperly sized venting system can result inthe formation of condensate, leakage, spillage,etc.

The steps outlined in the warning below shall befollowed with each individual appliance con-nected to the vent system placed in operation,while all other appliances connected to the ventsystem are not in operation:

! WARNING:CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to theventing system being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxidepoisoning or death.The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the ventingsystem being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to theventing 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. Deter-mine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and otherdeficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doorsbetween the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the ventingsystem 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 bathroomexhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate asummer exhaust fan.

6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected intooperation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.

7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hoodrelief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of amatch or candle.

8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the ventingsystem 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 Instal-lation Codes.

9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the ventingsystem properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, win-dows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burningappliance to their previous conditions of use.

Page 17: Gas Furnaces Installation Instructions - Dale SupplyF,K)G6RA-RK-MODELS… · *RA Full Size Series 80+ High Efficiency Upflow/Horizontal ... *RA 80+ Upflow/Horizontal *RK 80+ Downflow

17

The venting system should be designed to havethe minimum number of elbows or turns. Allhorizontal runs shall be sloped upwards fromthe furnace at 1/4 inch per running foot of vent.Supports for the vent pipe must be installed aminimum of every five feet along the vent run toensure no displacement after installation.

Under no circumstances shall any portion of thevent system extend into or pass through anyreturn air duct, supply air duct, or plenum.

If the furnace is operated with blocked or re-stricted venting, the blocked vent switch lo-cated in the vent plate will open, turning off thegas supply to the burners. The blocked ventswitch is a manually reset device. DO NOTinstall a jumper wire across this switch to defeatits function. DO NOT reset the switch withoutidentifying and correcting the fault conditionwhich caused the switch to trip. If this switchmust be replaced, use only the part specified inthe Replacement Parts List.

! WARNING:Upon completion of the furnace installa-tion, carefully inspect the entire flue sys-tem both inside and outside the furnaceto assure it is properly sealed. Leaks inthe flue system can result in seriouspersonal injury or death due to exposureof flue products, including carbon mon-oxide.

Category III: Horizontal Venting

NOTE: The reduced NOx models (eighthcharacter N) are not approved as a Cat-egory III (Category III) furnace for use withhorizontal venting.

The furnaces are approved for use with 3"single wall AL29-4C stainless steel ventpipe in horizontal vent applications. Thispipe is available from the following manufac-turers:

Z-FLEX Inc. - vent brand name (Z-VENT)Heat-fab Inc. - vent brand name (Saf-T Vent)Flex-L International - vent brand name (Star-

34 Vent)

This vent pipe must be used for the entire lengthof the vent run. The installation must be inaccordance with all instructions supplied by thevent manufacturer for use on Category IIIappliances. When venting horizontal, this isdefined as a Category III furnace, the ventpressure is positive, and the venting systemmust be sealed in both horizontal and verticalruns.

For horizontal venting installations in both theUnited States and Canada the transition as-sembly must be modified by adding a bleed tubeto the pressure switch tube and bypassing thevent switch. All model furnaces will require VentKit #903196 for horizontal venting.NOTE: No bleed tube is required for the *RA045(C,N)-08 model.

Horizontal Venting For Upflow Models:1. Remove the rubber tubing from the pressure

switch sensor tube and the collector pan sen-sor tube. Cut 1/2 inch from one end of the rubbersensor tube, fold in half and cut along the bendline. Discard the 1/2 inch long piece of tubing.Select the correct bleed tube using the tablesupplied with vent kit #903196 and place theother two pieces of tubing on both ends of thebleed tube. Do not cover the hole in the bleedtube. Place the assembly back on the pressureswitch sensor tube and the collector pan sen-sor tube. (See Figure 14.)

2. Remove the nut and restrictor plate from thevent collar assembly and discard the restrictorplate. Select the appropriate dilution cover plateas noted with vent kit #903196. Fit the clearancehole in the cover plate over the weld stud. Thecover plate must cover the hole(s) on the ventcollar assembly. Tighten the nut securely whileholding the cover plate in position. (See Figure15.)

3. Bypass the vent switch by removing both wiresfrom the vent switch and attaching them to thewire nut. (See Figure 16.)

Horizontal Venting: *RK Models:

1. By-pass the vent switch, located on blowercompartment door, by removing both wiresfrom the switch. Remove wire terminals, stripwires and tie together in a wire nut. (See Figure16.)

2. Remove the rubber tubing from the pressureswitch sensor tube and the collector pan sen-sor tube. Cut the tubing approximately 3" fromone end. Select the appropriate dilution coverplate as noted with vent kit #903196. Insert thebleed tube into the tubing. Do not cover thehole in the bleed tube. Place the tubingassembly back on the pressure switch sensortube and collector pan sensor tube. (See Figure17.)

3. To gain access to the restrictor plate, removeand discard the combustion tube from thetransition assembly. Insure the seal betweeninducer and transition assembly is notbroken. (See Figure 18.)

4. Remove and discard the restrictor plate andscrew from the transition assembly. (See Fig-ure 18.)

5. Install and seal a 4" to 3" reducer to thetransition. (See Figure 19.) Attach the new hightemperature vent pipe to the reducer.

The components of the horizontal vent systemmust not be penetrated with screws, rivets, orother devices, either when joining pipes andfittings or using support straps. All joints mustbe sealed with high temperature silicone beforelocking bands are installed. If the lengths of pipemust be cut, the joint must still be sealed withsilicone and the locking band used. Wheninstalling the condensate tube be sure to forma trap by means of a 3" loop filled with water.(See Figure 20.)

Keep the number of pipe fittings to a minimum.Maintain a minimum of 6 inches of air spacebetween the vent and combustibles at all times,this includes inside and outside the building.

NOTE: The direction of the male-female jointsfrom the drain tee to the termination tee isopposite to standard gas appliance venting.The male end of the pipes point towards thefurnace.

1. Apply an adhesive bead around theoutside of the pipe approximately 1/4"from the end of the pipe. This includesthe first fitting or pipe attached to thefurnace.

2. Push the pipe and fitting together whiletwisting the pipe or fitting. Twisting thepipe or fitting spreads the adhesivecompletely within the fitting socket.

3. When the pipe is at the socket bottom,inspect the joint. Look for a complete,uninterrupted ring of adhesive materialaround the pipe at the fitting socket.Additional adhesive or rotation of thepipe or fitting may be required for acomplete seal. The complete adhesivematerial ring provides the seal requiredfor the positive pressure vent.

4. All vent systems must include a tee anddrain plug for collection and disposal ofcondensate. The drain tee must beinstalled within the first 5 feet of vent runto protect the furnace.

5. All horizontal sections must have aslope toward the drain tee of not lessthan 1/4" per foot to prevent the collectionof condensate at any location other thanat the tee.

6. Horizontal runs must be supported with3/4" pipe strap at a maximum of 5 footintervals and at each point where anelbow is used.

7. Maintain a 6 inch minimum air space tocombustibles from all sections of thestainless steel vent system, exceptwhen a wall thimble is used.

Horizontal Power Venting — The TjerlundGPAK-1T* horizontal kit is certified for use withthis furnace. The kit includes a power venter,a side-wall vent hood and a barometric draftcontrol. It has an electrical interlock to assurethat the furnace will not operate when the powerventer is off.

The kit is for use only when exhaust is throughan exterior wall, normally with horizontal ventpiping. The power venter establishes negativepressure in the vent piping and the furnaceoperates as if connected to Category I verticalventing.

Installation Instructions are provided with thekit. Installation must conform to those instruc-tions and applicable requirements of local codes.

! WARNING:The entire vent system must be sealedwith a high temperature sealant whichwill withstand temperatures of 450°F.Recommended sealants: Dow CorningSealant 736 RTV; GE 106 RTV; HighTech Ind., High TEMP RED.

Location of Outdoor Terminations

Horizontal InstallationThe vent termination tee must be installed withthe following minimum clearances. (See Figure21.) Vent termination clearances shall be con-sistent with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI2223.1/NFPA 54 and/or the CSA B149.1,Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

All minimum clearances specified must bemaintained to protect building materials fromdegradation by flue gases.

1. The termination tee must be 12 inchesabove snow level or grade level whichever is higher. See Figure 22 for alter-nate method to achieve 12" above snowlevel.

2. Avoid areas where condensate drainagemay cause problems such as aboveplanters, patios, or adjacent to windowswhere the steam from the flue gasesmay cause fogging. Do not terminateabove any public walkway.

3. Select the point of wall penetration wherethe minimum 1/4 inch per foot of upwardslope can be maintained.

4. When penetrating a noncombustiblewall, the hole through the wall must belarge enough to maintain the pitch, pipeclearance for passage, and provide forproper sealing. Penetrating a combus-tible wall requires the use of a wallthimble. (See Figure 22.) A 6-1/2 inchsquare framed opening is required toinsert the thimble halves. The thimble isadjustable to varying wall thickness andis held in place by applying sealant to themale sleeve before assembly. Also runa bead of sealant around the outer wallthimble.

5. The vent pipe must extend 1-1/4 inchesthrough the outer thimble half for acombustible wall. Be sure to check thiscarefully before cutting the vent pipe.

6. Attach a 3 inch coupling to the end of thepipe that extends through the wall orthimble. This prevents the vent pipefrom being pushed inward.

7. Cut an 8 inch minimum piece of vent pipeand connect the coupling to thetermination tee. The inside of the teemust be a minimum of 12 inches fromthe outside of the wall. (See Figure 23.)

Flexible Vent SystemsFlexible gas vent is approved for use in verticalsingle vent or common vent installations only.The minimum distance to combustibles is 1" fortype B insulated and 6" for single wall. Theventing system must be installed in accordancewith the local authorities, the vent manufacturer'sinstructions and the instructions listed below.

The flexible vent must be installed in accor-dance with the venting tables for vertical orcommon venting only. The vent system mustbe supported in horizontal runs with3/4" pipe strap at a maximum of 5 foot intervals.All horizontal sections must have a slope to-ward the furnace of not less than 1/4" per foot.The vent must not sag, or have any bendsgreater than 90 degrees.

CIRCULATING AIR SUPPLY

GeneralPlenums and air ducts must be installed inaccordance with the Standard for the Installa-tion of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems(NFPA No. 90A) or the Standard for the Instal-lation of Warm Air Heating and Air ConditioningSystems (NFPA No. 90B).

It is recommended that the outlet duct be pro-vided with a removable access panel. Thisopening should be accessible when the furnaceis installed in service and shall be of a size thatsmoke or reflected light may be observed insidethe casing to indicate the presence of leaks inthe heat exchanger. The cover for the openingshall be attached in such a manner as to preventleaks.

If outside air is used as return air to the furnacefor ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, thesystem must be designed so that the return airis not less than 50° F (10° C) during operation.If a combination of indoor and outdoor air isused, the ducts and damper system must bedesigned so that the return air supply to thefurnace is equal to the return air supply undernormal, indoor return air applications.

When a cooling system is installed which usesthe furnace blower to provide airflow over theindoor coil, the coil must be installed down-stream (on the outlet side) of the furnace or inparallel with the furnace.

If a cooling system is installed in parallel with thefurnace, a damper must be installed to preventchilled air from entering the furnace and con-densing on the heat exchanger. If a manuallyoperated damper is installed, it must be de-signed so that operation of the furnace is pre-vented when the damper is in the cooling posi-tion and operation of the cooling system isprevented when the damper is in the heatingposition.

Return AirIn applications where the supply ducts carryheated air to areas outside the space in whichthe furnace is installed, the return air must bedelivered to the furnace by duct(s) sealed to thefurnace casing, running full size and withoutinterruption.

! WARNING:The solid base of the furnace must bein place when the furnace is installedwith side return air ducts. Removal ofall or part of the base could causeproducts of combustion to be circu-lated into the living space and createpotentially hazardous conditions, in-cluding carbon monoxide poisoningthat could result in personal injury ordeath.

For upflow/horizontal installations: The returnair ductwork may be connected to the left side,right side, or bottom. NOTE: Do not use theback of the furnace for return air. Table 2 and2a, in the front pages of these instructions,contains the airflow data for each furnace model.Where maximum airflow is 1800 CFM or more,two openings must be used for return air.

! WARNING:Products of combustion must not beallowed to enter the return air ductworkor the circulating air supply. Failure toprevent products of combustion frombeing circulated into the living space cancreate potentially hazardous conditionsincluding carbon monoxide poisoningthat could result in personal injury ordeath.

All return ductwork must be secured tothe furnace with sheet metal screws.For installations in confined spaces, allreturn ductwork must be adequatelysealed and joints must be taped. Whenreturn air is provided through the bottomof the furnace, the joint between thefurnace and the return air plenum mustbe air tight.

The floor or platform on which the fur-nace is mounted must provide soundphysical support of the furnace with nogaps, cracks, or sagging between thefurnace and the floor or platform.

Return air and circulating air ductworkmust not be connected to any other heatproducing device such as a fireplace in-sert, stove, etc. Doing so may result in fire,explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning,personal injury, or property damage.

GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING

GeneralThis furnace may be installed for either left orright side gas entry. A typical gas servicehookup is shown in Figure 24. When making thegas connection provide clearance between thegas supply line and the entry hole in the furnacecasing to avoid unwanted noise and/or damageto the furnace.

All gas piping must be installed in compliancewith local codes and utility regulations. Somelocal regulations require the installation of amanual main shut-off valve and ground jointunion external to the furnace. The shut-offvalve should be readily accessible for serviceand/or emergency use. Consult the local utilityor gas supplier for additional requirements re-garding placement of the manual main gas shut-off. In the absence of local codes the gas lineinstallation must comply with the latest edition ofthe National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1) or(CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2) Installation Codes.

An 1/8 inch NPT tap must be installed in the gasline to the unit for use when measuring the gassupply pressure. The tap should be readilyaccessible for service use. A drip leg should beinstalled in the vertical pipe run to the unit. Table5 lists gas flow capacities for standard pipesizes as a function of length in typical applica-tions based on nominal pressure drop in the line.

IMPORTANT NOTES:1. Gas piping must not be run in or through air

ducts, chimneys, gas vents, elevator shafts,etc.

2. Compounds used on threaded joints of gaspiping must be resistant to the actions of lique-fied petroleum gases.

3. The main manual gas valve and main powerdisconnect to the furnace must be properlylabeled by the installer in case emergencyshutdown is required.

Leak CheckAfter the gas piping to the furnace is complete,all connections must be tested for gas leaks. Tocheck for leaks in gas piping systems, use onlya soap and water solution or other approvedmethod.

! CAUTION:Do not use matches, lighters, candles,or other sources of open flame to checkfor gas leaks.

IMPORTANT NOTE:When pressure testing the gas supply linesat pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 inchW.C.), the furnace must be disconnectedfrom the gas supply piping system to pre-vent damage to the gas control valve. If thetest pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 psig(14 inch W.C.), the furnace must beisolated from the gas supply line by closingthe manual shut-off valve.

! WARNING:FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow the safety warnings ex-actly could result in serious injury, deathor property damage.Never test for gas leaks with an openflame. Use a commercially available soapsolution made specifically for the detec-tion of leaks to check all connections. Afire or explosion may result causing prop-erty damage, personal injury or loss oflife.

ConversionConversion of this furnace to use LP/propanegas must be made by qualified service person-nel, using only approved parts.

! WARNING:This furnace was equipped at the factoryfor use with natural gas only. A specialkit, supplied by the manufacturer, is re-quired to convert the furnace to operateon LP/propane gas. Failure to use theproper conversion kit can cause fire, ex-plosion, property damage, carbon mon-oxide poisoning, personal injury, ordeath.

High Altitude ApplicationHigh altitude application with this furnace can befield performed by a simple adjustment of mani-fold pressure, and if necessary changing theorifices. The changes required depend on theinstallation altitude and the heating value of thegas. The gas heating value based on sea levelcan be obtained from your local gas utility. Theheating value of gas at high altitude is alwayslower than the sea level heating value. Theheating values used in Tables 6 & 7 are basedon sea level values.

Natural Gas High Altitude ConversionAll factory shipped furnaces are ready to oper-ate between zero and 4999 ft. above sea level.For higher altitudes (between 5000 and 10,000ft. above sea level), conversion can be achievedsimply by adjusting the furnace manifold pres-sure as shown in Table 6.

LP/Propane Gas Sea Level and High Alti-tude Conversion

IMPORTANT NOTE: When converting a lowNOx furnace from Natural gas to LP/pro-pane gas, it is necessary to remove the NOxBaffles from the furnace.

Conversion of this furnace to utilize LP/propanegas must be made by qualified service person-nel, using factory authorized or approved parts.Conversion to LP/propane gas can be accom-plished by first replacing the natural gas orificeswith the appropriate LP/propane orifices shownin Table 8 or 9.

Junction Box (may be internalor external to the furnace). Theseconnections can be made in thefield supplied disconnect at thefurnace.

The furnace cabinet must have an uninter-rupted, unbroken ground to minimize injuryshould an electrical fault condition occur. Thecontrols used in this furnace require anearth ground to operate properly. Accept-able methods for grounding are electrical wireor conduit approved for electrical ground ser-vice. Do not use gas piping as an electricalground.

IMPORTANT NOTE:Proper line voltage polarity must be main-tained in order for the control system tooperate correctly. Verify that the incomingneutral line is connected to the white wireand the incoming “hot” line is connectedto the black wire. These furnaces will notoperate unless the polarity and ground areproperly connected. See Figure 25.

Low Voltage WiringInstall the thermostat per the manufacturer’sinstructions. The low voltage (24 volt) connec-tions from the thermostat are made at theterminal strip on the integrated control in the

furnace. See Figure 26 for the proper connec-tions for heating only (two-wire) and heating/cooling (four-wire) applications. The recom-mended minimum wire gauge for thermostatwiring is shown in Table 10.

The thermostat must not be installed on anoutside wall or any other location where itsoperation may be adversely affected. Adverseaffects include radiant loading from fireplaces,sunlight, or lighting fixtures, and convectiveloading from warm air registers or electricalappliances.

To determine the heat anticipator setting either:

1. Add the current draw of the system compo-nents; or

2. Measure the current flow on the thermostat R-W circuit after the circulating blower motor hasstarted.

Set the heat anticipator according to the ther-mostat manufacturer’s instructions for heatanticipator settings.

START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTSGeneralPrior to start-up, verify that:

1. The line voltage power leads are securelyconnected, that the polarity of the connectionsis correct, and that the furnace is properlygrounded.

2. The thermostat wires (R, W, Y, and G) aresecurely connected to the correct leads on theterminal strip of the circuit board.

3. The gas line service pressure does not exceed10.0 in. water column (0.36 psig), and is not lessthan 4.5 in. water column (0.16 psig) for naturalgas. For LP gas the line service pressure mustnot exceed 14 in. water column (0.51 psig), andmust not be less than 11.0 in. w.c. (0.40 psig).

4. The roll-out and vent safety manual resetswitches are closed. If necessary, press thered button to reset a switch. DO NOT install ajumper wire across a switch to defeat itsfunction. If a switch reopens on start-up, DONOT reset the switch without identifying andcorrecting the fault condition which caused theswitch to trip.

5. The blower door is in place, closing the doorswitch in the line voltage circuit.

6. The gas line has been purged and all connec-tions are leak tight.

Start-up ProceduresAfter all of the above checks have been made:

1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.2. Close the disconnect(s) to provide line voltage

to the furnace.3. Follow the procedures given on the operating

instruction label attached to the furnace.4. Set the thermostat above room temperature

and verify the operating sequence. (See theSequence of Operation).

5. After the furnace has run for approximately fiveminutes, set the thermostat below room tem-perature and verify steps (9) through (11) of theSequence of Operation.

Verifying and Adjusting Firing RateThe firing rate must be verified for each installation

to prevent over-firing the furnace.

IMPORTANT NOTE:The firing rate must not exceed the rateshown on the furnace rating plate. At alti-tudes above 2000 feet it must not exceedthat on the rating plate less 4% for each1000 feet.

Follow the procedure below to determine thefiring rate.

1. Shut off all other gas fired appliances.2. Start the furnace and allow it to run for at least

three minutes.3. Measure the time (in seconds) required for the

gas meter to complete one revolution.4. Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of

gas per hour using Table 11.5. Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic feet per hour

by the heating value of the gas in Btu per cubicfoot to obtain the firing rate in Btu per hour.Example:

• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1cubic foot dial = 40 seconds.

• From Table 11 read 90 cubic feet per hourof gas.

• Heating value of the gas (obtained from gassupplier) = 1040 Btu per cubic foot.

• Firing rate = 1040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.

6. Adjustments to the firing rate can be made byadjusting the gas manifold pressure. See theHigh Altitude Application section for additionalinformation of firing rate at elevations above2000 ft.

The manifold pressure must be set to theappropriate value for your installation. Refer toeither Table 6 for natural gas or Table 7 for LP/propane gas to verify the manifold pressuresetting required for your particular installation.To adjust the manifold pressure, remove theregulator cap and turn the adjusting screwclockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to reduce pressure. Replace theregulator cap after adjustments are complete.

! CAUTION:Do not re-drill the burner orifices. If theorifice size must be changed, use onlynew orifices.

Verifying and Adjusting Temperature RiseVerify the temperature rise through the furnaceis within the range specified on the furnacerating plate. Temperature rises outside thespecified range could result in premature heatexchanger failure.

Place thermometers in the return and supply airstream as close to the furnace as possible. The

thermometer on the supply air side must beshielded from direct radiation from the heatexchanger to avoid false readings. Adjust allregisters and duct dampers to the desiredposition and run the furnace for ten to fifteenminutes before taking any temperature read-ings. The temperature rise is the differencebetween the supply and return air tempera-tures. For typical duct systems, the tempera-ture rise will fall within the range specified on therating plate with the blower speed at the factoryrecommended setting. If the temperature risemeasured is outside the range specified, it maybe necessary to change the blower speed.Lower blower speeds will increase the tem-perature rise and higher blower speeds willdecrease the temperature rise. The furnace isequipped with a multi-speed motor. Heating andcooling speed selection is made by moving theleads on the integrated control located in thefurnace. The wiring diagram on the furnace andFigure 28 show the speed taps for adjustingmotor speed.

If it is desired that the blower operate at the samespeed for heating and cooling, tape off the

unused blower lead and install the jumper wirefound in the plastic instruction bag. Remove thedesired blower tap, and install the jumper wirepiggyback to the heating speed tap, and straightquick connect to the cooling speed tap. Recon-nect the desired blower tap to piggyback quickconnect.

The integrated control is factory set to start thecirculating air blower 30 seconds after the gasvalve is opened. The integrated control isfactory wired to turn the blower motor off 120seconds after the gas valve is closed. Ifnecessary for comfort, the “off” time may bechanged by adjusting the Blower Off jumper onthe integrated control. See Figure 27 for bloweron and off time adjustments.

! WARNING:To avoid electric shock, personal in-jury, or death, disconnect the electricpower before performing any mainte-nance.

Verifying Burner OperationTo verify operation of the burners, make surethat the furnace door is in place and that thereis power to the furnace. Set the thermostat toa temperature above room temperature andobserve the ignition sequence. The burnerflame should carry over immediately betweenall burners. The flames should be blue, withoutyellow tips. Flames should extend from eachburner without lifting off, curling, or floating. Afterverifying satisfactory flame characteristics, setthe thermostat to a temperature below roomtemperature and verify that the burner flameextinguishes completely.

Verify Operation of the Supply Air LimitSwitchTo verify operation of the supply air limit switch,make sure that the blower door is in place andthat there is power to the furnace. Block thereturn airflow to the furnace by installing a close-off plate in place of or upstream of the filter(s).Set the thermostat to a temperature aboveroom temperature and verify that the Sequenceof Operation is as described in these instruc-tions. The limit switch should function to turn offthe gas valve within approximately four minutes(the exact time depending on the efficiency ofthe close-off in blocking the return air to thefurnace). The circulating air and combustionblowers should continue to run when the limitswitch opens. Remove the close-off immedi-

ately after the limit switch opens. If the furnaceoperates for more than four minutes with noreturn air, set the thermostat to a temperaturebelow room temperature, shut off the power tothe furnace, and replace the limit switch.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTSFigure 29 shows the location of each of thefunctional components described below. Also,refer to the Sequence of Operation Section ofthis manual . If any component of the furnacemust be replaced, use only factory authorizedreplacement parts. See the Replacement PartsList for the factory authorized replacement foreach component.

Flame SensorThe flame sensor acts to prove that flame hascarried over from the igniter to the opposite endburner. If no flame is sensed, the furnace willshut down within 7 seconds of ignition.

Flame Roll-Out SwitchThe flame roll-out switch verifies that the burnerflames are drawn into the heat exchangertubes. If the burner flames are not properlydrawn into the heat exchanger, the flame roll-out switch will open. The circulating air blower(and combustion blower, if connected) willcontinue to operate if the flame roll-out switchopens.

MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that the furnace be checkedyearly. At a minimum, this check should includethe following items.

! WARNING:To avoid electrical shock, personal in-jury, or death, turn off the electric powerat the disconnect or the main servicepanel before making any electrical con-nections.

! WARNING:Products of combustion must not beallowed to enter the living space. Fail-ure to prevent products of combustionfrom being circulated into the living spacecan create potentially hazardous condi-tions including carbon monoxide poi-soning that could result in personal in-jury or death.

Vent SystemCheck the vent pipe to ensure that it is notcorroded or blocked by debris. Any corrodedsection of vent pipe must be replaced, and anyobstruction or blockage must be removed priorto operating the furnace.

Air Filter(s)

! WARNING:Never operate the furnace without a filterin place. Dust and lint in the return air canbuild up on internal components, result-ing in loss of efficiency, equipment dam-age, and possible fire.

Air filter(s) are not supplied with the fur-nace as shipped from the factory.

The installer must provide a high velocity filterand rack for a filter in the return air duct adjacentto the furnace, or in a return air grill to thefurnace. Filters should be changed or cleanedmonthly during the heating season. New or

newly renovated homes may require morefrequent changing until the construction dusthas been removed.

Filters for side return and bottom return appli-cations are available from your local distribu-tors.

LubricationThe bearings in the circulating air blower motorand inducer blower used in these furnaces arepre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. Nofurther oiling of the bearings is required for thelife of the motor.

Blower CompartmentThe blower compartment should be cleanedmonthly during the heating and cooling seasonsto remove any dirt and lint that may haveaccumulated in the compartment or on theblower and motor. Dirt and lint can createexcessive loads on the motor resulting in higherthan normal operating temperatures and short-ened service life.

Heat Exchanger and Burner MaintenanceThe furnace should operate for many yearswithout soot buildup in the flue passageways,however, the flue passageways, the vent sys-tem, and the burners should be inspected andcleaned (if required) by a qualified servicemanannually to ensure continued safe operation.Particular attention must be given to identifydeterioration from corrosion or other sources.

! WARNING:Holes in the vent pipe or heat exchangercan cause products of combustion toenter the home. Replace the vent pipe orheat exchanger if leaks are found. Failureto prevent products of combustion frombeing circulated into the living space cancreate potentially hazardous conditionsincluding carbon monoxide poisoningthat could result in personal injury ordeath.

Cleaning Of Flue PassagesIf the flue passages must be cleaned, follow thesteps below. See Figure 29 for componentlocation and identification.

1. Shut off the gas supply to the furnace either atthe meter or at the manual valve in the gassupply piping.

2. Turn off all power to the furnace and set thethermostat to the lowest temperature setting.

3. Remove the louvered door from the furnace.4. Turn the gas control lever to the OFF position.5. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve,

igniter, flame sensor, combustion air motor,flame roll-out switch, blocked vent switch, over-temperature limit switch, pressure switch.

! CAUTION:Label all wires prior to disconnectionwhen servicing controls. Wiring errorscan cause improper and dangerous op-eration.

6. Remove the silicone rubber tube from thecollector pan.

7. For *RA upflow models: Remove the screwsthat hold the vent control assembly to the toppanel.

8. Remove the nuts that hold the combustion airmotor to the collector pan, and remove thecomplete combustion air blower and combus-tion tube assembly. BE CAREFUL NOT TOBREAK THE SEALS AT EACH END OF THECOMBUSTION AIR TUBE.

9. Remove the screws that hold the collector panin place, and remove the collector pan from thefurnace.

10. Using wrenches, separate the ground-jointunion in the gas supply piping at the furnace.

11. Remove the piping between the gas valve andthe ground-joint union, if necessary.

12. Remove the screws that hold the burner as-sembly in place and remove the burnerassembly. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOTTO DAMAGE THE IGNITER WHILE RE-MOVING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY.

13. The furnace heat exchanger tubes can now becleaned by the use of a round wire brushattached to a length of high grade stainless steelcable, such as drain cleanout cable. Attachvariable speed reversible drill to the other endof the spring cable. Slowly rotate the cable withthe drill and insert it into the top portion of the heatexchanger. While reversing the drill, work thecable in and out several times to obtain sufficientcleaning. Repeat this sequence for each heatexchanger tube.

14. When all heat exchanger tubes have beencleaned, any debris inside the tubes can beremoved with the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner.

15. With a light, check the condition of the upper andlower sections of the heat exchanger tube.

16. Inspect the burners and clean them (if neces-sary) with a soft wire brush and/or the nozzleof a vacuum cleaner. BE EXTREMELY CARE-FUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE IGNITERWHILE CLEANING THE BURNER.

17. Replace all the parts in reverse order fromwhich they were removed.

18. Follow the lighting instructions found on thefurnace door to return the furnace to operation.Verify proper operation after servicing.

Cleaning of Burners If the burners must be cleaned, follow the steps

below. See Figure 30 for component locationand identification.

1. Shut off the gas supply to the furnace either atthe meter or at a manual valve in the supplypiping.

2. Turn off all power to the furnace and set thethermostat to the lowest temperature setting.

3. Remove the upper louvered door from thefurnace.

4. Turn the gas control lever to the OFF position.5. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve,

igniter, and flame sensor.6. Using wrenches, separate the ground-joint

union in the gas supply piping at the furnace.7. Remove the piping between the gas valve and

the ground-joint union, if necessary.8. Remove the screws that hold the burner as-

sembly in place and remove the burner assem-bly. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TODAMAGE THE IGNITER WHILE REMOV-ING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY.

9. Inspect the burners and clean them (if neces-sary) with a soft wire brush and/or the nozzleof a vacuum cleaner. BE EXTREMELY CARE-FUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE IGNITERWHILE CLEANING THE BURNER.

10. Replace all the parts in reverse order fromwhich they were removed.

11.Follow the lighting instructions found on thefurnace door to return the furnace to operation.Verify proper operation after servicing.

SYSTEM OPERATION INFORMATIONGeneralProper maintenance is most important to achieve

the best performance from a furnace. Followthese instructions for years of safe, trouble freeoperation.

1. Do not place combustible materials on or againstthe furnace cabinet or within 6 inches of the ventpipe.

2. Do not store gasoline or any other flammablevapors and liquids in the vicinity of the furnace.

3. Change or replace the air filters monthly duringany period when the circulating blower isoperating regularly.

4. Always replace the doors on the furnace afterservicing or cleaning/changing the filters. Donot operate the furnace without all doors andcovers in place.

5. Avoid operating the furnace when windows anddoors are open.

6. Be sure that the thermostat is properlyinstalled and is not being affected by draftsor heat from lamps or other appliances.

Sequence of OperationThe operating sequences for the heating, cooling,

and fan modes are described below. Refer tothe field and furnace wiring diagrams; Figures25, 26, 27 and 28.

Heating Mode:1. On a call for heat the thermostat closes, apply-

ing 24 VAC to the W terminal on the controlboard.

2. The control board checks for continuity on the24 VAC limit control circuit (over-temperaturelimit switch, flame rollout switches and blockedvent switch in series). If an open limit is detectedthe control board will energize the inducer andthe conditioned air blower. All other systemfunctions will be inoperable until the limit circuitcloses. While the limit is open, the red LED willpulse at a rate of 1 blink per unit time.

3. The furnace control checks for continuity acrossthe pressure switch (24 VAC). If the pressureswitch is closed the heat mode sequence willnot continue. If it remains closed for 10 secondsthe red LED will blink 3 times repetitively until thefault condition clears.

4. The inducer is energized.

5. The pressure switch will close. If the pressureswitch does not close after 10 seconds the faultLED will blink 2 times repetitively and the inducerwill continue to run until the switch is closed.

6. The inducer will pre-purge for 30 seconds andthen the igniter will start its warm-up as follows:

Initial Power up: After 30 seconds of igniterwarm-up the gas valve (24 VAC) will then open.The igniter circuit will stay energized for 3seconds after the gas valve opens.

Page 35: Gas Furnaces Installation Instructions - Dale SupplyF,K)G6RA-RK-MODELS… · *RA Full Size Series 80+ High Efficiency Upflow/Horizontal ... *RA 80+ Upflow/Horizontal *RK 80+ Downflow

35

After Initial Power up: The control has a pro-grammed adaptive ignition feature which variesthe warm-up period as follows: If ignition issuccessful the warm-up is reduced by 3-seconds on each subsequent call for heat untilignition failure occurs. Upon ignition failure, thewarm-up is increased by 3-seconds on thenext try. If successful, the timing remains fixedat this level. In general, whenever ignition failureoccurs the warm-up interval is increased by3-seconds on the next try. And if successful, itremains there. Minimum and maximum warm-up time limits are set at 6 and 54-seconds,respectively.

7. The furnace control must prove flame via theflame sensor 5 seconds after the gas valveopens. If flame is sensed, all burners are on andthe igniter cools off. If no flame is sensed, the gasvalve closes immediately and the inducer con-tinues to run. A second trial for ignition (step 6)begins if no flame is sensed on the fifth try forignition, the furnace control is locked and the redLED will blink 4 times repetitively. The thermo-stat must be opened for at least ten seconds toreset the furnace control after a lock out.Otherwise, the furnace will attempt anotherignition sequence in 1 hour.

8. The furnace control energizes the circulatingair blower on the heating speed 30 secondsafter the gas valve circuit is energized .

9. When the thermostat has been satisfied, gasvalve is de-energized.

10. The inducer is de-energized after a 30-secondpostpurge.

11. The furnace control keeps the circulating airblower energized for 120 seconds (factory set)or 60, 90, or 180 seconds (field adjustable).(See Figure 27.)

12. Abnormal conditions: If a limit opens duringoperation, the inducer and circulating air blowercontinue to operate. The gas valve is de-energized immediately. The blowers continueto operate until the limit closes. When the limitcloses the inducer blower is de-energizedimmediately. The circulating air blower contin-ues to operate for the specified delay (factoryset at 120 seconds).

Cooling Mode:1. On a call for cooling the thermostat closes,

applying 24 VAC to the G and Y terminals on the

furnace control. This closes the compressorcontactor.

2. The furnace control energizes the circulatingblower (115 VAC) on the cooling speed.

3. When the thermostat is satisfied, the G and Yterminals on the control board are de-energizedopening the compressor contactor.

4. The circulating air blower is de-energized aftera 90-second delay.

Fan Mode:1. On a call for fan operation, the thermostat

applies 24VAC to the G terminal on the furnace controlboard.

2. The circulating air blower is energized immedi-ately on the heating speed.

3. If the furnace is operated in the continuous ONposition at the thermostat and is then switchedto AUTO, the circulating blower will operate fora specified delay (factory set at 120 seconds).

Furnace Fails to Operate

If the furnace does not operate check thefollowing:1. Is the thermostat operating properly?2. Are the blower compartment door(s) in place?3. Is the furnace disconnect closed?4. Has the circuit breaker tripped or the control

board fuse burned open?5. Is the gas turned on?6. Are any manual reset switches open?7. Is the filter dirty or plugged?8. Is the flame sensor coated? (Remove and

clean with emery cloth.)

If the furnace locks out after 5 attempts forignition, it will try again every hour if a call for heatremains. If the inducer and circulating air blow-ers are operating, and items 1 through 8 havebeen checked, press the red reset button on thevent safety switch (See Figure 29). If the fur-nace operates after depressing the reset but-ton, contact a qualified serviceman to identifyand repair the problem.

If the furnace continues to not operate, depressthe red reset buttons on the flame roll-outswitches. (See Figure 29.) If the furnace oper-ates after depressing the reset buttons, contacta qualified servicemen to identify and repair theproblem.
