SECTION 1
DUCT CONNECTIONS - ALL MODELS
For all furnaces: All furnaces must have a common supply plenum
attached to the furnaces or evaporator coils prior to any branch supply
trunk or take-off. The height of the plenum should be at least as high
(upflow/downflow) or as long (horizontal) as the width of one furnace.
Supply air dampers, when used, should be installed in the branch ducts,
not in the common plenum. Fire or smoke dampers, when required by
code, may be installed in the common plenum. Refer to the damper
manufacturer’s ratings installation instructions for proper application.
The damper should not create undue restriction in the open position.
All furnaces must be installed to ensure sufficient return air to both
furnaces:
For upflow furnaces: A combination of one full side of each and bottom
inlet plenum or bottom only inlet plenum shall be used for return air to
each furnace. The preferred method is to have all return air brought into
the bottom of the furnaces through a common bottom plenum. The
bottom return-air plenum shall be at least as high as the width of the
furnace bottom return-air opening. For example, if two 17 1/2-in. (445
mm) wide furnaces are twinned together, the full height common return
air plenum must be at least 17 1/2-in. (445 mm) tall. When there are
height limitations, the bottom return-air plenum height can be reduced to
8-in. (203 mm) minimum if one entire side return-air opening of each
furnace is used in conjunction with the bottom return opening. The rear
of the furnace casing cannot be used for all or part of the return air
connection. If rear return air connections are required, connect the return
air duct to the rear of the return air plenum. Connect all return trunks or
branch return ducts to common return plenum. (See
Fig. 2)
For downflow and horizontal furnaces: All return air must be brought
into the bottom opening of the furnace through a common return air
plenum. The return-air plenum shall be at least as long (horizontal) or
tall (downflow) as the width of the furnace return-air opening. Connect
all return trunks or branch return ducts to common return plenum. (See
Fig. 3)
NOTE: Throughout these instructions, when the furnace installed
side-by-side, the left-hand (LH) side will be referred to as the LH
furnace, and the furnace installed on the right-hand (RH) side as the RH
furnace. When the furnaces are installed back-to-back, the left-hand
(LH) side will be referred to as the LH furnace, and the furnace installed
on the right-hand (RH) side as the RH furnace when viewed from the
side with the extension harness installed.

NOTE: Upflow - Two Returns
When furnaces are installed Back-to-Back (not shown) return duct
MUST connect to the common return plenum and side inlet of BOTH
furnaces
Return duct cannot obstruct access to either furnace
