Service Literature
ML296UHV(X) series units are 90% efficiency gas fur­
naces used for upflow or horizontal applications only,
manufactured with Lennox Duralokt heat exchangers
formed of aluminized steel. ML296UHV(X) units are avail­
able in heating capacities of 44,000 to 132,000 Btuh and
Cooling applications up to 5 tons. Refer to Engineering
Handbook for proper sizing.
Units are factory equipped for use with natural gas. Kits are
available for conversion to LPG operation. ML296UHV(X)
unit meets the California Nitrogen Oxides (NO
and California Seasonal Efficiency requirements. All units
use a redundant gas valve to assure safety shut-off as re­
quired by C.S.A.
