5 - 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.
6 - 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 gure 15.

This unit is not equipped with a lter or rack. A eld-pro-
vided  high  velocity  rated  lter  is  required  for  the  unit  to 
operate properly. Table 1 lists recommended lter sizes. A 
lter must be in place whenever the unit is operating.
 IMPORTANT
If a high eciency lter is being installed as part of this 
system to ensure better indoor air quality, the lter must 
be  properly sized.  High  eciency lters  have  a higher 
static pressure drop than standard eciency glass/foam 
lters. 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  lter  with  this  system,  check  the 
specications provided by the lter manufacturer against 
the data given in the appropriate Lennox Product 
Specications 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 below for proper duct instal-
lation.

NOTE - This furnace is not certied for operation in heat-
ing  mode  (indoor  blower  operating  at  selected  heating 
speed) with an external static pressure which exceeds 0.8 
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 oper-
ating and it must not allow leaks. For horizontal only, in-
stall self tapping screws in the three evaporator coil screw 
holes made for horizontal applications to seal the top cap 
to the vestibule panel.
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 de-
vice (i.e., wood replace) 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 ue products can be 
pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This 
reverse ow of the ue 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.
