If replacing a furnace which was
commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size
of the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be
checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue
products, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for
the single water heater or other appliance. The vent
should be checked for proper draw with the remaining
appliance.

Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with instal-
lation following instructions given in piping termination
section.
CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or
stack that also serves another gas appliance. If vertical
discharge through an existing unused stack is required,
insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end is even
with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pressure
and must be completely sealed to prevent leakage of
combustion products into the living space.
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.
The EL297UHV 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 or ventilated attic or crawlspace and
ue gases are discharged outdoors. In Direct Vent instal-
lations, combustion air is taken from outdoors and ue
gases are discharged outdoors.
Intake and exhaust pipe sizing -- Size pipe according to
TABLE 21(minimum) and TABLE 22 (maximum). Count all
elbows inside and outside the home.
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 8. In some appli-
cations which permit the use of several dierent sizes of
vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be used. Contact
Lennox’ Application Department for assistance in sizing
vent pipe in these applications.
NOTE - The exhaust collar on all models is sized to ac-
commodate 2” Schedule 40 vent pipe. In horizontal appli-
cations, 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.

NOTE - Lennox oers a glueless vent adapter kit 17H92
as an option for exhaust exiting at the furnace top cap cou-
pling. If the kit is not used, then the exhaust pipe MUST be
glued to the furnace exhaust tting.
