Vent Piping Guidelines
The 95AF2DFV can be installed as either a Non-Direct
Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE
- In Non‐Direct Vent installations, combustion air is
taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and
flue gases are discharged outdoors. In Direct Vent installa
tions, combustion air is taken from outdoors and flue gases
are discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing --
Size pipe according to
tables 6 and 7. Count all elbows inside and outside the
home. Table 6 lists the
minimum
vent pipe lengths per
mitted. Table 7 lists the
maximum
pipe lengths permitted.
TABLE 6
MINIMUM VENT PIPE LENGTHS
95AF2DFV
MODEL
MIN. VENT LENGTH*
045, 070, 090, 110
15 ft. or
5 ft plus 2 elbows or
10 ft plus 1 elbow
*Any approved termination may be added to the minimum length listed.
Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof
and wall terminations described in section
Exhaust Piping
Terminations
should be used. Exhaust vent termination
pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as it
exits the termination. Refer to table 10.
In some applications which permit the use of several differ
ent sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be
used. Contact Lennox' Application Department for assis
tance in sizing vent pipe in these applications.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or
intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups
and may block the terminations.
NOTE
- It is acceptable to use any pipe size which fits within
the guidelines allowed in table 7.
NOTE
-
All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope back
toward unit. A minimum of 1/4” (6mm) drop for each 12”
(305mm) of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage.
NOTE
- Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust
fittings.
NOTE
- Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to
make sure there are no sags or low spots.
NOTE -
If right side venting option is used, you must include
the elbow at the furnace in the elbow count. If transitioning
to 3” dia pipe, this elbow equates to 20' of equivalent vent
length for all models.
Use the following steps to correctly size vent pipe diameter.
