Gather parts and tools before a horizontal field conversion

96V96MDV

What is going on

Check the parts list for the conversion you are doing before you start. Some parts come from the parts bag shipped with the unit and some come from conversion kits RXGY-CK and RXGY-ZK. Steps 1-4 of the conversion are drawn with the furnace in its as-shipped condition.

Check in this order

  1. Confirm which conversion you are doing (horizontal left or right, right or left vent) and pull the matching parts from the parts bag and the RXGY-CK / RXGY-ZK kits.
  2. Have these tools ready electric drill, 1/8 in and 3/16 in drill bits, pliers, 1/4 in and 5/16 in hex driver, flat head screwdriver, hammer, tubing cutter, PVC glue and primer.
  3. Keep the removed elbow, couplings and hose D for reuse, as the steps direct.
  4. Discard the parts the steps mark as discard.

Applies to: Horizontal left/right conversions
