Vent Piping Guidelines
NOTE - Lennox has approved the use of DuraVent® and
Centrotherm manufactured vent pipe and terminations
as an option to PVC. When using the PolyPro
®
by Du-
raVent or InnoFlue
®
by Centrotherm venting system the
vent pipe requirements stated in the unit installation in-
struction – minimum & maximum vent lengths, termination
clearances, etc. – apply and must be followed. Follow the
instructions provided with PoyPro by DuraVent and Inno-
Flue by Centrotherm venting system for assembly or if re-
quirements are more restrictive. The PolyPro by Duravent
and InnoFlue by Centrotherm venting system must also
follow the uninsulated and unconditioned space criteria
listed in TABLE 15 .
The EL196UHE 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 ue gases are discharged out-
doors. In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken
from outdoors and ue gases are discharged outdoors.

NOTE - The exhaust collar on all models is sized to ac-
commodate 2” Schedule 40 vent pipe. In horizontal ap-
plications, any transition to exhaust pipe larger than 2”
must be made in vertical runs of the pipe. Therefore a 2”
elbow must be added before the pipe is transitioned to
any size larger than 2”. This elbow must be added to the
elbow count used to determine acceptable vent lengths.
Contact the Application Department for more information
concerning sizing of vent systems which include multiple
pipe sizes.
Horizontal Installation Offset Requirements
NOTE - Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust fitting,
unless the optional glueless vent adapter kit 17H92 is used..
NOTE -
ward unit. A minimum of 1/4” (6mm) drop for each 12” (305mm)
of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage.
NOTE - Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to make
sure there are no sags or low spots.
