*Front clearance in alcove installation must be 24 in. (610 mm).
Maintain a minimum of 24 in. (610 mm) for front service access.

‡For installations on a combustible floor, do not install the furnace
directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible materials other
than wood flooring.

Suspended Installation of Horizontal Unit
This furnace may be installed in either an attic or a crawl-
space. Either suspend the furnace from roof rafters or
floor joists, as shown in figure 16, or install the furnace on a
platform, as shown in figure 17. A horizontal suspension
kit (51W10) may be ordered from Lennox or use equiva-
lent.

NOTE − Heavy−gauge sheet metal straps may be used to
suspend the unit from roof rafters or ceiling joists. When
straps are used to suspend the unit in this way, support
must be provided for both the ends. The straps must not
interfere with the plenum or exhaust piping installation.
Cooling coils and supply and return air plenums must
be supported separately.

NOTE − When the furnace is installed on a platform or with
the horizontal suspension kit in a crawlspace, it must be
elevated enough to avoid water damage, accommodate
drain trap and to allow the evaporator coil to drain.
Platform Installation of Horizontal Unit
1 − Select location for unit keeping in mind service and
other necessary clearances. See figure 15.
2 − Construct a raised wooden frame and cover frame
with a plywood sheet. If unit is installed above finished
space, fabricate an auxiliary drain pan to be installed
under unit. Set unit in drain pan as shown in figure 17.
Leave 8 inches for service clearance below unit for
condensate trap.
3 − Provide a service platform in front of unit. When instal-
ling the unit in a crawl space, a proper support platform
may be created using cement blocks.
4 − Route auxiliary drain line so that water draining from
this outlet will be easily noticed by the homeowner.
