Details of Exhaust Piping Terminations for Non-Direct 
Vent Applications
Exhaust pipes may be routed  either horizontally through 
an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In attic or 
closet installations, vertical termination through the roof 
is preferred. Figure 43 and Figure 44 shows typical termi-
nations.
1 -   Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as 
shown. The termination pipe must be sized as listed 
in TABLE 8. The specied pipe size ensures proper 
velocity required to move the exhaust gases away 
from the building.
2 -  On  eld  supplied  terminations  for  side  wall  exit, 
exhaust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches 
(305mm) for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3” 
(76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall.
3 -  If exhaust piping must be run up a side wall to position 
above snow accumulation or other obstructions, 
piping must be supported every 24 inches (610mm). 
When exhaust piping must be run up an outside wall, 
any  reduction  in  exhaust  pipe  size  must  be  done 
after the nal elbow.
4 -  Distance between exhaust pipe terminations on 
multiple furnaces must meet local codes.

Lennox provides kit 51W18 (USA) kit 15Z70 (Canada) to 
install 2” or 3” PVC exhaust piping through the oor joists 
and into the the crawl space. See Figure 45. This kit can 
also be used as a supplemental drain for installations with 
condensate run back in the vent pipe (ie. long horizontal 
runs, unconditioned spaces, etc.).
NOTE - Do 
tical discharge through an existing unused chimney or stack is required, insert piping
inside 
trated. In any exterior portion of chimney, the exhaust vent must be insulated.

Condensate Piping
This unit is designed for either right- or left-side exit of 
condensate  piping  in  upow  applications.  In  horizontal 
applications, the condensate trap must extend below the 
unit. An 8” service clearance is required for the conden-
sate trap.
