    FURNACE CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS.

    Refrigerant suits R22 or R420A

    Safety inspection are asking does this model meet code? It is directly inside a closet with vents in the door. No floor space between floor and furnace. What does this require , if anything, for a clearance measurement.

    The clerance requirements for each furnace are stated in the install manual. Each furnace can be different. Local codes can also over ride the install instructions depending upon the jurisdiction. I suggest contacting your local building department to get the EXACT requirements since they can be different from state to state.

    The most important thing you can do is find or read your install manual. Sorry but with so many possibilitys it is just about impossible to ansewr your question accurately.

    Some items you will run into depending upon the model and style

    Clerance to combustibles from bottom,side and top.

    Service clerance usually only from the front and top.

    Vent clerance

    Combustion air requirements

    If you are having problems with the door clerance remove the door (simple fix)

    If the unit is located in a bedroom or bathroom/kitchen it might not be allowed

    NOTE the number you gave (CAPF3030A6AA) is not a furnace model number it is for the evaporator coil and is of NO help in finding your correct model.
