In some applications which permit the use of several dif-
ferent 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.
Use the steps in FIGURE 24 to correctly size vent pipe
diameter.
NOTE -
It is acceptable to use any pipe size which fits
within the guidelines allowed in TABLE 24.
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 23
NOTE -
The exhaust collar on all models is sized to ac-
commodate 2” Schedule 40 vent pipe. In horizontal ap-
plications, any transition to exhaust pipe larger than 2”
must be made in vertical runs of the pipe. Therefore a 2”
elbow must be added before the pipe is transitioned to
any size larger than 2”. This elbow must be added to the
elbow count used to determine acceptable vent lengths.
Contact the Application Department for more information
concerning sizing of vent systems which include multiple
pipe sizes.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or
intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and
may block the terminations.

Flue Coupling
The provided flue coupling must be attached (do not use
glue) to the exhaust coupling on the furnace top panel.
Use provided bands. See steps below and FIGURE 25.
1 -
Remove the caution sticker from flue coupling .
2 -
Fully insert flue coupling with both bands loosely
attached on the furnace exhaust coupling.
3 -
Insert PVC exhaust pipe through flue coupling.
Ensure vent pipe is fully seated into exhaust
coupling. Tighten both top and bottom bands to 40
