      Answer This Question

      A:  ..They have a top vented model...

      by|May 4, 2023

        A:  No, its designed to direct vent through an exterior wall.

        by|May 5, 2023

          A:  NO. The exhaust goes out one way. The quality of the unit, IMHO, is quite poor. The instructions are completely inaccurate and the hardware included isn't always right. This was verified after I spoke to a tech in customer service at the manufacturer. Be careful if you buy his unit.

                            A:  Factory states to down size orifice 4% for every 1,000 ft. above sea level. Remove orifice, peen opening down, re-drill 32% smaller, reinstall.

                            A:  The altitude I have used this Forsaire furnace at 7000 feet in La Verta Colorado. I have two-- they were already installed when I bought the home 22 years ago, and they have performed really well and dependably. I am not aware if they have altitude adapters. They are rated BTU HR 48,750. It is a good thermostat controlled furnace. In all this time have not had a single service call. Model # 465 FXR LPG
