Way OT/RUUD Furnace question

I know this is way off topic, but normally it seems the people on here are knowledgable in about everything. (I do have 3 old tractors, 1950 Case DC, 1940 John Deere H, and 1941 Montgomery Ward Twin Row) I am trying to find the dimensions of the "Pan" that RUUD makes for their furnaces to raise them off the floor. I just picked up a seldom used, nearly new RUUD furnace. It is much shorter than the old 70's vintage it replaced. I am going to need to do some duct work to connect it, but just found out that RUUD makes a pan to raise them. Not sure if that will be what I need or not, can't locate the height of the pan. Dealers are closed for the weekend. Thanks!
 
You can use the pan, but it is no better (opinion) than using appropriate solid concrete blocks. If it is on concrete I would put a vapor barrier under the blocks. If it is on a wood floor, I would use several rubber isolators (about 1/2" thick to isolate vibrations. I would also use a fiber bellows on the bonnet connection and cold air plenum. JimN
 
Thanks for the information. I was told it could/should be used, and the cold air return should run into that. Just looking for the best way to go.
 
If the furnace is in at the bottom (not side of bottom) then metalwork is necessary (with a slide in from the top filter opening) If it is already in from the side, then do it. If it is a high efficiency (more than about 85%) it will also need a condensation drain to a floor drain, or a condensation pump with a plastic hose to a sink drain/laundry tub. Good luck, JimN
