Service Literature
ML296UHV(X) SERIES UNITS
ML296UHV(X) series units are 90% efficiency gas fur
naces used for upflow or horizontal applications only,
manufactured with Lennox Duralokt heat exchangers
formed of aluminized steel. ML296UHV(X) units are avail
able in heating capacities of 44,000 to 132,000 Btuh and
cooling applications up to 5 tons. Refer to Engineering
Handbook for proper sizing.
Units are factory equipped for use with natural gas. Kits are
available for conversion to LPG operation. ML296UHV(X)
unit meets the California Nitrogen Oxides (NO
x
) Standards
and California Seasonal Efficiency requirements. All units
use a redundant gas valve to assure safety shut-off as re
quired by C.S.A.
All specifications in this manual are subject to change. Pro
cedures outlined in this manual are presented as a recom
mendation only and do not supersede or replace local or
state codes. In the absence of local or state codes, the
guidelines and procedures outlined in this manual (except
where noted) are recommendations only and do not consti
tute code.
