Vent Piping Guidelines - Lennox ML193UH045P36B Unit Information

Vent Piping Guidelines

The ML193UH can be installed as either a Non−Direct
Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE − In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is
taken from indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from out-
doors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing −− Size pipe according to
tables 9 and . Table 9 lists the minimum vent pipe lengths
10
permitted. Table lists the maximum pipe lengths per-
10
mitted.
Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof
and wall terminations described in section Exhaust Piping
Terminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination
pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as
it exits the termination. Refer to table 11.
In some applications which permit the use of several differ-
ent 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.
NOTE − The exhaust collar on all models is sized to ac-
commodate 2" Schedule 40 vent pipe. When vent pipe
which is larger than 2" must be used in an upflow applica-
tion, a transition must be applied at the exhaust collar in
order to properly step to the larger diameter vent pipe.
Contact the Application Department for more information
concerning sizing of vent systems which include multiple
pipe sizes.
Exhaust Pipe
12" max
of straight pipe
Horizontal Application
NOTE − All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope back to-
ward unit. A minimum of 1/4" (6mm) drop for each 12" (305mm)
of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage.
NOTE − Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust fittings.
NOTE − Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to make
sure there are no sags or low spots.

IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or
intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze−ups
and may block the terminations.
