Horizontal Installation Offset Requirements

NOTE

- Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust fitting,

unless the optional glueless vent adapter kit 17H92 is used..

NOTE -

ward unit. A minimum of 1/4” (6mm) drop for each 12” (305mm)

of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage.

NOTE

- Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to make

sure there are no sags or low spots.

FIGURE 18

NOTE -

Lennox offers a glueless vent adapter kit 17H92

as an option for exhaust exiting at the furnace top cap

coupling. If the kit is not used the exhaust pipe MUST be

glued to furnace exhaust fitting.

TABLE 13

MINIMUM VENT PIPE LENGTHS

ML296UHV 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. Two 45 degree elbows are the equivalent to one 90 de-

gree elbow.

IMPORTANT

Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or

intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and

may block the terminations.

Use the following steps to correctly size vent pipe diam

eter.

Piping Size Process

Which style termination

being used?

Standard or

concentric?.

Which needs

most elbows?

Intake or

exhaust?

How many elbows?

Count all elbows inside

and outside house.

Desired pipe size?

Find max intake or

exhaust pipe length.

Includes all vent pipe and

elbows inside and outside

the house.

What is the altitude of

the furnace installation?

What is the

furnace capacity?
