Intake Piping
The EL195UHE furnace may be installed in either direct
vent or non-direct vent applications. In non-direct vent
applications, when intake air will be drawn into the furnace
from the surrounding space, the indoor air quality must be
considered and guidelines listed in Combustion, Dilution
and Ventilation Air section must be followed.
Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Direct
Vent applications, where combustion air is taken from
outdoors and ue gases are discharged outdoors. The
provided air intake screen must not be used in direct
vent applications (outdoors).
1 - Use transition solvent cement or a sheet metal screw
to secure the intake pipe to the inlet air connector.
2 - Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in general
guidelines for piping terminations and intake and
exhaust piping terminations for direct vent sections.
Refer to table 5 for pipe sizes.
Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in
Non-Direct Vent applications where combustion air is
taken from indoors and ue gases are discharged out-
doors.
1 - Use eld-provided materials and the factory-
provided air intake screen to route the intake piping
as shown in gure 26 or 27. Maintain a minimum
clearance of 3” (76mm) around the air intake
opening. The air intake opening (with the protective
screen) should always be directed forward or to
either side in the upow position, and either straight
out or downward in the horizontal position.
The air intake piping must not terminate too
close to the ooring or a platform. Ensure that
the intake air inlet will not be obstructed by
loose insulation or other items that may clog the
debris screen.
2 - If intake air is drawn from a ventilated attic (gure
28) or ventilated crawlspace (gure 29) the exhaust
vent length must not exceed those listed in table 6. If
3” diameter pipe is used, reduce to 2” diameter pipe
at the termination point to accommodate the debris
screen.
3 - Use a sheet metal screw to.
