Venting Practices - Lennox ELITE Series Installation Instructions Manual

NOTE − Assembly should be completed within 20 sec-
onds after last application of cement. Hammer blows
should not be used when inserting pipe.
8 − After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end
of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a
bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indi-
cate an improper assembly due to insufficient sol-
vent.
9 − Handle joints carefully until completely set.

Venting Practices

Piping Suspension Guidelines
SCHEDULE 40
all other pipe* − 3'
* See table 2 for allowable pipe.
NOTE − Isolate piping at the point where it exits the outside wall or
roof in order to prevent transmission of vibration to the structure.
Wall Thickness Guidelines
inside
1 − In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior
walls, hole must be large enough to allow clearance on
all sides of pipe through center of hole using a hanger.
2 − When furnace is installed in a residence where unit is
shut down for an extended period of time, such as a
vacation home, make provisions for draining conden-
sate collection trap and lines.

FURNACE
(Replaced
by EL195)
If an EL195UH furnace replaces a furnace which
was commonly vented with another gas appliance,
the size of the existing vent pipe for that gas ap-
pliance must be checked. Without the heat of the
original furnace flue products, the existing vent pipe
is probably oversized for the single water heater or
other appliance. The vent should be checked for
proper draw with the remaining appliance.
Exhaust Piping (Figures 22 and 23)
Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with installa-
tion following instructions given in piping termination sec-
tion.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or
stack that also serves another gas appliance. If verti-
cal discharge through an existing unused stack is re-
quired, insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end
is even with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pres-
sure and must be completely sealed to prevent leak-
age of combustion products into the living space.
