If necessary, run the condensate line into a
condensate pump to meet drain line slope
requirements. The pump must be rated for use
with condensing furnaces. Protect the condensate
discharge line from the pump to the outside to avoid
freezing.

Continue with exhaust, condensate and intake
piping installation according to instructions.

Return Air -- Horizontal Applications
Return air may be brought in only through the end of a
furnace installed in the horizontal position. The furnace is
equipped with a removable bottom panel to facilitate in-
stallation. See FIGURE 15.
Filters
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field-pro
-
vided high velocity rated filter is required for the unit to
operate properly. Table 1 lists recommended filter sizes. A
filter must be in place whenever the unit is operating.
IMPORTANT
If a highefficiency filter is being installed as part of this
system to ensure better indoor air quality, the filter must
be properly sized. Highefficiency filters have a higher
static pressure drop than standardefficiency glass/foam
filters. If the pressure drop is too great, system capacity
and performance may be reduced. The pressure drop
may also cause the limit to trip more frequently during
the winter and the indoor coil to freeze in the summer,
resulting in an increase in the number of service calls.
Before using any filter with this system, check the
specifications provided by the filter manufacturer against
the data given in the appropriate Lennox Product
Specifications bulletin. Additional information is provided
in Service and Application Note ACC002 (August 2000).

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards to size and install the
supply and return air duct system. Refer to ACCA Manual
D. This will result in a quiet and low-static system that has
uniform air distribution. See figure below for proper duct
installation.

Duct System and Proper Installation
NOTE -
This furnace is not certified for operation in heat
-
ing mode (indoor blower operating at selected heating
speed) with an external static pressure which exceeds 0.5
inches w.c. Operation at these conditions may result in
improper limit operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a remov-
able access panel should be installed in the supply air
duct. The access panel should be large enough to per-
mit inspection of the heat exchanger. The furnace access
panel must always be in place when the furnace is operat-
ing and it must not allow leaks.
Return Air Plenum
NOTE -
Return air must not be drawn from a room where
this furnace, or any other gas-fueled appliance (i.e., water
heater), or carbon monoxide-producing device (i.e., wood
fireplace) is installed.
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure
is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating in
a room with negative pressure, the flue products can be
pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This
reverse flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete com
-
bustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This
raw gas or toxic fumes might then be distributed through-
out the house by the furnace duct system.
