Requirements
Installation of Lennox oil-fired furnaces must conform with
the National Fire Protection Association Standard for the
Installation of Oil Burning Equipment, NFPA No. 31, the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70 (in the
U.S.A.), CSA Standard CAN/CSA-B139 (in Canada),
Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment, the Canadian
Electrical Code Part1, CSA 22.1 (Canada), the recommen
dations of the National Environmental Systems Contrac
tors Association and any state or provincial laws or local or
dinances. Authorities having jurisdiction should be
consulted before installation. Such applicable regulations
or requirements take precedence over general instructions
in this manual.
Chimneys and chimney connectors must be of the type and
construction outlined in section 160 of NFPA No. 31.
Air for combustion and ventilation must conform to stan
dards outlined in section 140 of NFPA No. 31 or, in Canada,
CSA Standard B139. When installing SLO185B units in
confined spaces such as utility rooms, two combustion air
openings are required. Dimensions of combustion air
openings are shown in table 1. One opening shall be below
burner level and the other opening shall be no more than 6”
(152 mm) from the room's ceiling.
The combustion air opening should provide a minimum free
area one‐half square inch per 1,000 Btu per hour input. This
combustion air should be brought into the area containing the
furnace below the level of the furnace burner.
IMPORTANT
An opening to the outside for combustion air is
strongly recommended, especially in new homes.
Refer to table 1 or the unit plate for specific combus
tion air opening dimensions.

This unit is approved for use on combustible flooring and for
clearances to combustible material as listed on unit rating
plate and in table 2. Unit service and accessibility clearances
take precedence over fire protection clearances.

*Clearance to allow inspection of furnace and flue connector
shall be provided. 24” (610 mm) at rear and on one side of furnace should
be allowed for cleaning and service of the blower.
**Minimum clearance shown for flue pipe may be reduced by using special
protection as provided by local building codes and the National Fire
Protection Association Standards and CSA 189.
NOTE - When service clearances are greater than fire
protection clearances, service clearances take prece
dence.
Obtain a temperature rise within the range listed in table 8
in the Start‐Up section of this manual.
When installed, furnace must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the current National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70, or Canadian Electric Code (CEC) if an external
electrical source is utilized.
Field wiring connection with unit must meet or exceed
specifications of type T wire and withstand a 63_F (17_C)
temperature rise.
Notice to Home Owner
This furnace is equipped with safety devices that protect
you and your property. If one or more of these devices is
activated, furnace operation will stop. If your home is left
unattended for an extended period of time, equipment op
eration must be checked periodically. If this is not possible,
the water supply to the house should be shut off and the
pipes should be drained. This will prevent problems associ
ated with a NO HEAT condition (frozen pipes, etc.)
