Horizontal Applications
The EL180UHNE furnace can be installed in horizontal
applications. Order horizontal suspension kit (51W10)
from Lennox, or use equivalent suspension method.
Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated
on the unit nameplate. Minimum clearances for closet or
alcove installations are shown in FIGURE 11.
This furnace may be installed in either an attic or a crawl-
space. Either suspend the furnace from roof rafters or
oor joists, as shown in FIGURE 12, or install the furnace
on a platform, as shown in FIGURE 13.

NOTE - Heavy-gauge perforated 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 pip-
ing installation. Cooling coils and supply and return air ple-
nums must be supported separately.
NOTE - When the furnace is installed on a platform in a
crawlspace, it must be elevated enough to avoid water
damage and to allow the evaporator coil to drain.
Return Air -- Horizontal Applications
Return air must be brought in through the end of a fur-
nace installed in a horizontal application. The furnace is
equipped with a removable bottom panel to facilitate in-
stallation. See gure 10.
