CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable
liquids and should be kept away from all sources
of ignition. Do not use excessive amounts of sol-
vent cement when making joints. Good ventila-
tion should be maintained to reduce fire hazard
and to minimize breathing of solvent vapors.
Avoid contact of cement with skin and eyes.
Primers and solvents must meet ASTM specifications.
PVC primer is specified in ASTM F 656. Use PVC solvent
cement as specified in ASTM D 2564. Low temperature
solvent cement is recommended. Metal, plastic strap-
ping or large wire ties may be used for vent pipe hangers.

PVC pipe used for exhaust and intake lines should be
sized per table 4. Note that maximum length of vent
pipe is for one run; either intake or exhaust. Maximum
vent length given is
not
the total length of intake + ex-
haust vents.

Each 90
E
elbow is equivalent to 5 ft. (1.52m) of vent
pipe. Two 45
E
elbows are equivalent to one 90
E
elbow.
One 45
E
elbow is equal to 2.5 feet (.75M) of vent pipe.
If intake and exhaust piping runs are notequalin length
and combination, the larger diameter pipe (as sized per
table 4) must be used for both runs. Regardless of the
diameter of pipe used, the standard roof and wall ter-
minations described in section D--Intake and Exhaust
Piping Terminations should be used. Exhaust piping
must terminate with 1--1/2 (38mm) pipe.
Muffler lengths should be excluded when measuring
vent pipe runs for sizing. Vent pipe must be sized at 2
(51mm) between unit and mufflers.

1-- Measure and cut PVC pipe to desired length.
2-- Debur and chamfer end of pipe, removing any
ridges or rough edges. If end is not chamfered,
edge of pipe may remove cement from fitting
socket and result in a leaking joint.
3-- Clean and dry surfaces to be joined.
4-- Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of
pipe.
5-- Uniformly apply liberal coat of primer to inside
socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to
depth of fitting socket.
6-- Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and
inside socket surface of fitting. Cement should be
applied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket.
Take care to keep excess cement out of socket. Ap-
ply second coat to end of pipe.
IMPORTANT--Time is critical at this stage. Do not
allow primer to dry before applying cement.
7-- Immediately after applying last coat of cement to
pipe, and while both inside socket surface and end
of pipe are wet with cement, forcefully insert end
of pipe into socket until it bottoms out. Turn pipe
1/4 turn during assembly (but not afterpipe is fully
inserted) to distribute cement evenly.
NOTE--Assembly should be completed within 20
seconds after last application of cement. Hammer
blows should not be used when inserting pipe.
8-- After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at
end of fitting socket. A properly made joint will
show a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps
may indicate a defective assembly due to insuffi-
cient solvent.
9-- Handle joints carefully until completely set.
B--Exhaust a
nd Condensate Piping
This unit is designed for either right or left side exit of
exhaust piping.
NOTEIf unit is equipped with a V5 blower and side re-
turn air is used, it is recommended that the exhaust
piping drip leg be routed out of the side opposite the
return air duct. This should be done to avoid interfer-
ence between the drip leg and the return air duct. The
drip leg may be installed on the return air side provided
it clears the duct.
1-- Cut PVC pipe (provided) to the desired length for
exit from the unit.
2-- Slide PVC pipe through rubber grommet in cabi-
net. Care must be taken to center pipe in hole.
3-- Compression elbow is mounted for left side ex-
haust pipe exit on G21V--60/80 units and right side
exit on G21V--100 units. If piping must exit on other
side, disconnect exhaust pressure tubing, rotate
and tighten compression elbow and reconnect
tubing.
NOTEDifferential pressure switch will not oper-
ate properly if tubing is kinked.
4-- Cement PVC pipe to compression elbow which is
already in place.
NOTECare must be taken to assure a secure,
tight seal between compression elbow assembly
and manifold outlet.
5-- Cement drip leg assembly tee to PVC pipe as
shown in figure 5.

6 -- Make sure rubber clean--out boot is securely fas-
tened to drip leg by hose clamp. Rotate condensate
connection to suitable drain position and cement
drip leg subassembly to drip leg assembly tee.
IMPORTANT -- Debris may buildup in bottom of drip leg
and prevent proper drainage. Leave enough clearance
below drip leg to remove clean-out boot for future
maintenance.
IMPORTANT -- Stand pipe must remain open at the top
to vent drain. Open end of pipe must not be used to
connect drain hoses or other condensate hoses.
7 -- Cement exhaust pipe into top of drip leg assembly
tee and route to outside of structure using exhaust
and intake piping requirements listed in section A.
All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope back
toward unit. A minimum of 1/4 (6mm) drop for
each 12 (305mm) of horizontal run is mandatory
for drainage. Horizontal runs of exhaust piping
must be supported every 5 ft. (1.52m) using isola-
tion hangers.
NOTE -- Exhaust piping must be insulated with 1/2
(13mm) Armaflex or equivalent when run through un-
heated space. Do not leave any area of exhaust pipe
open to outside air; exterior exhaust must be insulated
with 1/2 (13mm) Armaflex or equivalent.

8 -- Connect condensate drain line (1/2 [13mm] SDR
11 plastic pipe or tubing) to condensate connec-
tion on drip leg assembly and route to open drain.
Condensate line must be sloped downward away
from drip leg to drain. If drain level is above drip
leg, condensate pump must be used to conden-
sate line. Condensate drain line should be routed
within the conditioned space to avoid freezing of
condensate and blockage of drain line. If this is not
possible, a heat cable kit may be used on the con-
densate drip leg and line. Heating cable kit is avail-
able from Lennox in various lengths; 6ft. (1.8m) --
kit no. 18K48; 24ft. (7.3m) -- kit no. 18K49; and 50ft.
(15.2m) -- kit no. 18K50.
CAUTION
Do not use copper tubing or existing copper con-
densate lines for drain line.
9 -- Seal unused exhaust line piping hole in cabinet
with snap--plug provided.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive
pressure and must be completely sealed to pre-
vent leakage of combustion products into the liv-
ing space.
C--Intake Piping
1 -- Cement intake piping in slip connector located at
top of unit.
2 -- Determine intake piping size using table 4.
3 -- Suspend piping at a minimum of every 5 ft.
(1.52m) using isolation hangers. A suitable hang-
er can be fabricated by putting a sleeve of Arma-
flex refrigeration piping insulation around the pipe
and suspending it using metal strapping as shown
in figure 6. Place a small sheet metal strip between
the Armaflex and the metal strapping to prevent
crimping. Do not secure piping directly to joist or
flooring.
4 -- In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior
walls, hole must be large enough to allow clear-
ance on all sides of pipe through center of hole us-
ing an isolation hanger.

D--Removal of Unit from Common Venting System
If a G21V furnace replaces a furnace which was com-
monly vented with another gas appliance, the size of
the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be
checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue
products, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized
for the single water heater or other appliance. The vent
should be checked for proper draw with the remaining
appliance.
The following test should be conducted while all ap-
pliances (both in operation and those not in operation)
are connected to the common venting system. If the
venting system has been installed improperly, correc-
tions must be made.
1-- Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2-- Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and
other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe
condition.
3-- Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances remaining connected to the com-
mon venting system are located and other spaces
of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any ap-
pliances not connected to the common venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will oper-
ate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4-- Follow the lighting instruction. Place the appliance
being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat
so appliance will operate continuously.
5-- Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening af-
ter 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the
flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a ciga-
rette, cigar or pipe.
6-- After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting sys-
tem properly vents when tested as outlined above,
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace
dampers and any other gas--burning appliance to
their previous condition of use.
7-- If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the common venting system must be
corrected. The common venting system should be
re--sized to approach the minimum size as deter-
mined by using the appropriate tables in appendix
G in the current standards of the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223--1 in the U.S.A., and the appropri-
ate Category 1 Natural Gas and Propane ap-
pliances venting sizing tables in the current stan-
dards of the CAN/CGA--B149.1 and .2 in the Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code in Canada.
E--Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations
Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either hori-
zontallythroughanoutsidewallorverticallythrough
the roof. In attic or closet installations, vertical termi-
nation through the roof is preferred. Figures 7
through 18 show typical terminations.
CAUTION
Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of ex-
haust back into intake pipe.
1-- Use PVC pipe for both intake and exhaust piping
2-- Secure all joints, including drain leg, gas tight us-
ing approved PVC solvent.
3-- Piping diameters should be determined according
to length of pipe run. See table4. Locate intake pip-
ing upwind (prevailing wind) from exhaust piping.
To avoid re--circulation of exhaust gas on roof ter-
minations, end of exhaust pipe must be higher
than intake pipe.
Exhaust and intake exits must be in same pressure
zone. Do not exit one through the roof and one on
the side. Also, do not exit the intake on one side
and the exhaust on another side of the house or
structure.
