A furnace mounting system to elevate the furnace above the floor. In one form the furnace mounting system includes a furnace mounting block including a vibration dampening feature to prevent the transmission of noise and vibration from the furnace to the mounting block. The furnace mounting block includes a locating feature and is adhered to the bottom surface of the furnace.
1. A mount for supporting a furnace above the floor, comprising:
a substantially non-deformable main body member having a first surface adapted to engage the floor and a second surface spaced an unchangeable fixed distance from and formed parallel to said first surface and adapted to support the furnace above the floor; and an adherent component connected with said main body member and located proximate said second surface; a vibration dampening portion positioned between said adherent component and the furnace; and wherein said body member permits sliding movement of the furnace relative to the floor while supporting the furnace.
2. The mount of claim 1 , wherein said main body member includes a locating portion adapted to abut the furnace and align said second surface under the furnace.
3. The mount of claim 2 , wherein said locating portion includes an upstanding member extending substantially perpendicular from said second surface.
4. The mount of claim 3 , wherein said adherent component is located on said upstanding member, and which further includes a vibration dampening material located on said upstanding member.
5. The mount of claim 4 , wherein said vibration dampening material is defined by an elastomeric material.
6. The mount of claim 4 , wherein said vibration dampening material is defined by a cork material.
7. The mount of claim 4 , wherein said vibration dampening material is defined by an elastomeric and cork configuration.
8. The mount of claim 1 , wherein said adherent component is attached to said second surface, and wherein an adhesive surface is spaced from said second surface.
9. The mount of claim 8 , wherein said adhesive surface is substantially parallel with said second surface.
10. The mount of claim 1 , wherein said vibration dampening portion includes an adhesive surface.
11. The mount of claim 1 , wherein said vibration dampening portion includes an elastomeric material.
12. The mount of claim 1 , wherein said vibration dampening portion includes a cork material.
13. The mount of claim 1 , wherein said vibration dampening portion includes a vibration dampening pad.
14. The mount of claim 1 wherein said second surface is spaced from said first surface at least about 2 inches.
