Lennox MERIT Series Installation Instructions Manual page 49

FOR THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL VENT APPLICATIONS ONLY
For exterior horizontal venting applications, the 2" X 1.5" reducer for 2" venting at the point where the exhaust pipe exits
the structure is not required in direct or nondirect vent applications in the Province of Ontario. In these applications, the
vent should be oriented such that the exhaust plume is unobjectionable. If the installation requires more separation be-
tween the flue gases and the building structure, a reducer may be installed on the exhaust pipe to increase the flue gas
velocity.
ADDENDUM FOR THE PROVINCE OF SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA
See below for venting in the province of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.. Lennox approves the following termination for use
in Saskatchewan and Manitoba Canada.
NOTE − Flue gas may be acidic and may adversely affect some building materials. If flue gases impinge
on the building materials, a corrosion−resistant shield should be used to protect the wall surface. The
shield should be constructed using wood, sheet metal or other suitable material. All seams, joints, cracks,
etc. in affected area, should be sealed using an appropriate sealant.
A − Clearance above grade or
average snow accumulation
B − Horizontal separation between
intake and exhaust
C − Exhaust pipe length
D − Wall support distance from top
of each pipe (intake/exhaust)
