Just unscrew the little black knob and the whole side comes off:

You can usually see the manifold through the louvers.

Nothing is more fun than firing up the gas furnace before you climb into the attic in Phoenix.

I have never seen a gas furnace laying on its side. Is this common?

Thanks

Hi Greg, in some parts of the country it's real common, many gas furnaces can be installed as up-flow, down-flow, or lateral flow. There have also been some major recalls on these from several manufacturers

BTW, how you been, long time no chat

Be well

Hey Mate,

I know I haven't seen you or Joe for sometime. I was thinking of coming over that way and spending a couple of days.
