LOCATION / PLACEMENT
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the
following general recommendations must be considered
when installing a Lennox Merit Series
™
furnace:
Place the furnace as close to the center of the air
distribution system as possible.
Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
These instructions are intended as a general guide and
do not supersede local codes in any way. Consult AGA.
AG-601 INSTALLATION CODE or authorities having
jurisdiction before installation.
The Lennox Merit Series
™
furnace is approved for
installation outside the building only with clearances as listed
in Table 1.
Installation of Lennox outdoor central furnaces must be
in accordance with these instructions, local gas fitting
regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring
regulations and the current edition of the Australian Gas
Installation Code (AG 601).
The following general recommendations should be considered
when installing the Lennox Merit Series
™
Gas Furnace.
The Lennox Merit Series
™
Gas Furnace can be installed in
either right or left hand mode.
NOTE:
On some models - 1/3 and 1/2 hp blower motors
are equipped with either four flexible mounting legs or three
flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg is equipped with
a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic washer (rather than
the rubber mounting grommet used with a flexible mounting
leg). This shipping bolt and flat washer must be removed
before the furnace is put into operation. Once the shipping
bolt and washer are removed, the rigid leg will not touch the
fan housing.
Select a unit location that will allow for required clearances
per local AG 601 codes and in Table 1.
Also consider gas supply connections, electrical supply, vent
termination and installation and service clearances (600mm
front).
Accessibility and service clearances must not take
precedence over fire protection clearances.
The Lennox Merit Series
™
Gas Furnace furnace should be
set on a field-provided platform to keep the unit base out
of water. The unit is equipped with base rails, which lift the
bottom of the unit off of the platform. Unit must be levelled
using shims or levelling bolts. Knock-outs are provided in
unit base to install field-provided levelling bolts.
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive
or contaminated atmosphere. Meet all
combustion and ventilation air requirements,
as well as all local codes.
