The SLP99UHV is installed only as a Direct Vent gas 
central furnace.
NOTE - In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is tak-
en from outdoors and ue gases are discharged outdoors. 
Intake and exhaust  pipe sizing -- Size pipe  according to 
TABLE 7 and TABLE 8. Count all elbows inside and out-
side 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 10.
In some applications which permit the use of several dif-
ferent sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be 
used. Contact Lennox’ Application Department for assis-
tance in sizing vent pipe in these applications.
Use  the  steps  in  FIGURE  22  to correctly  size vent  pipe 
diameter.
NOTE - It  is  acceptable  to  use  any  pipe  size  which  ts 
within the guidelines allowed in TABLE 8.
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.

FIGURE 21 
NOTE - The exhaust collar on all models is sized to ac-
commodate  2”  Schedule  40  vent  pipe.  In  horizontal  ap-
plications,  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.
NOTE - Lennox oers a glueless vent adapter kit 17H92 
as  an  option  for  exhaust  exiting  at  the  furnace  top  cap 
coupling. If the kit is not used then the exhaust pipe MUST 
be glued to the furnace exhaust tting.
 IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or 
intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and 
may block the terminations..
