Pics might help here too. Multiple 5" take-offs off an 8" trunk won't hurt things. But one 8" trunk going to one 5" vent is another thing. Might be stuff getting lost in translations here....

Yep I reduce to 5 inch

I think you'll help us if you can more accurately describe your ductwork. The above quote could likely be your problem.

So if I understand this right, you have two 8" "trunk" lines running the length of the house, and then 5" runs off of that going to the registers?

Whereas the above quote could work well.

Clarification would help.

Are you using the side-by-side outlets on the top of the furnace, or the front and back outlets?

I'm using side to side. About the ductwork my main run is 8 " then I have it branch off from that to my rooms

If that's the case then dampers should be on the 5" runs or have closable register vent covers

I have closable ones in my vents,SBI said to put one each in the 8" but it makes more sense what your saying I will do that

I started running my Tundra in mid November and am very happy with it.
My blower does not stay on constantly, it cycles but keeps the house warm enough to keep the propane off.

how long will your blower stay on if the damper is closed

 

[aimee750]

I have never timed it. It just cycles on and off and varies a lot depending on what part of the burn cycle it is.

[aimee750]

[bedrock1]

they have a kit the guys said that comes with the cold air intake, with a different temp cut in cut out then the one u have i say and it mounts to tope of your furnace.

 

[aimee750]

I have the cold air kit but it didn't involve moving the disc

[aimee750]

I ordered the kit with the furnace back in Feb 2014 , the disc on the top is a newer thing

I wonder if you can get a Tundra with a door handle on the left side? You know for right handers. That and the cheesy ash pan door setup are the worst in my mind.

hi do u have your furnace install yet. i dont now how i can get the picture the guys sent to me to send to u .

No. They said it would cost too much to make it a left/right door. Trying to make a pricepoint for retail stores and all...

You can get a PSG Caddy, same furnace only more HD and have to get from a dealer, 'bout twice as much $$ too.
I don't think most people even bother using the ash drawer, kinda like on the newer stoves that have ash drawers, same set up
