A,WARNING
A,CAUTION
G50UH(X) units are CSA International certified to ANSI
Z21.47 and CSA 2.3 standard.
In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with
local building codes. In the absence of local codes, units
must be installed according to the current National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA 54). The National Fuel Gas
Code is available from the following address:
American National Standards Institute, Inc.
11 West 42nd Street
New York, NY 10036
In Canada, installation must conform with current National
Standard of Canada CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes," local plumbing or waste water codes
and other applicable local codes.
Adequate clearance must be made around the air open-
ings into the vestibule area. In order to ensure proper unit
operation, combustion and ventilation air supply must be
provided according to the current National Fuel Gas Code
or CSA B149 standards.
Vent installations must be consistent with the venting
tables (in this instruction) and applicable provisions of local
building codes.
This furnace is CSA Intemational certified for installation
clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit
nameplate and in the tables in figures 6 and 11.Accessibility
and service clearances must take precedence over fire
protection clearances.
NOTE- For installation on combustible floors, the furnace
shaft not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material other than wood flooring.
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must
be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source
are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the
floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid
physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed
in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has ahaz-
ardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed accord-
ing to recommended good practice requirements and cur-
rent National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standards.
NOTE -Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature
rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate. Failure
to do so may cause erratic limit operation.
This G50UH(X) furnace must be installed so that its electri-
cal components are protected from water.
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be
installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.
With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other
means to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent
chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper is manu-
ally operated, it must be equipped to prevent operation of
either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full
HEAT or COOL setting.

NOTE -This furnace is designed for a minimum continu-
ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermit-
tent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases
where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air tem-
perature must not exceed 85°F (29 °C) dry bulb.
The G50UH(X) furnace may be installed in alcoves, clos-
ets, attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms in the up-
flow or horizontal position.
This furnace design has not been CSA International certi-
fied for installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles,
or outdoors.
Lennox does not recommend the use of G50UH units as a
construction heater during any phase of construction. Very
low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and operation
of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will damage the
unit.
G50UH units may be used for heating of buildings or struc-
tures under construction, if the following conditions are
met:
•The vent system must be permanently installed per
these installation instructions.
• A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of
fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not
allowed.
• The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the
furnace.
• Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and
80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
• Air filters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
• Air filters must be replaced upon construction comple-
tion.
• The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the
furnace rating plate.
• One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro-
vided for combustion air requirements during construc-
tion. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the
furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace.
Size the temporary duct following these instructions in
section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a
confined space with air from outside.
• The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,
air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following final construction clean-up.
• All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in-
put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified
according to these installation instructions.
NOTE -The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipu-
lates these additional requirements:
• Gas furnaces shall be installed by aticensedptumb-
er or gas fitter only.
• The gas cock must be "T handle" type.
• When afurnace is installed in an attic, the passage-
way to and service area surrounding the equipment
shall be floored.
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the fol-
lowing general recommendations must be considered
when installing a G50UH(X) furnace:
•Place the furnace as close to the center of the air dis-
tribution system as possible. The furnace should also be
located close to the chimney or vent termination point.
•Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow direct-
ly into it. This could cause improper combustion and un-
safe operation.
•Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
•When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insu-
lated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.

ACAUTION
ACAUTION
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion pro-
cess. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the fur-
nace or other appliances will operate inefficiently and un-
safely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all
fuel-burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust
fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces, ex-
haust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time as
the furnace, much more air is necessary to ensure proper
combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air
causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon
monoxide,
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air
dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contami-
nants may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, sol-
vents and other contaminants which can corrode furnace
components,
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ven-
tilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in
an unconfined or a confined space,
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the com-
bined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not
separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be un-
confined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the air
from outside section.
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cu-
bic feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the
combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. This definition includes furnace closets or small
equipment rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space contain-
ing the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts
which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate
outside the space containing the furnace, This is especially
important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a
confined space such as a closet or small equipment room.
Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform
or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially
dangerous negative pressure condition, Air for combustion
and ventilation can be brought into the confined space either
from inside the building or from outside,

ing of all equipment in the enclosure, but not less than 100 square
inches (64516 mm2).
FIGURE 2
Air from Inside
If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a
space categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by
providing two permanent openings between the two
spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1
square inch (645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of
total input rating of all gas-fired equipment in the confined
space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches
(64516 mm2). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305
mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12
inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See figure 2.
Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila-
tion, the confined space must have two permanent open-
ings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the
top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305
mm) of the bottom. These openings must communicate di-
rectly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or at-
tic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly
through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum
free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000 Btu (1.17
kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the en-
closure. See figures 3 and 4. When communicating with
the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm 2) per
2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in
the enclosure. See figure 5.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross-sec-
tional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free
area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must
be considered. Ifthe design and free area of protective cov-
ering is not known for calculating the size opening required,
it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 per-
cent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to
75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the
open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they
are opened automatically during equipment operation.

-&WARNING
The G50UH(X) gas furnace can be installed as shipped
in either the upfiow position or the horizontal position,
with right-hand or left-hand air discharge.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection,
and installation and service clearances [24 inches (610
mm) at unit front]. The unit must be level.
NOTE -1/3 hp blower motors are equipped with four flex-
ible mounting legs. 1/2hp blower motors are equipped with
three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg is
equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic wash-
er (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used with a
flexible mounting leg). The bolt and washer must be re-
moved before the furnace is placed into operation. Af-
ter the bolt and washer have been removed, the rigid leg
will not touch the blower housing.

Return Air -- Upflow Applications
Return air can be brought in through the bottom or either
side of the furnace installed in an upflow application. If the
furnace is installed on a platform with bottom return, make
an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the
platform to ensure that the furnace operates properly and
safely. The furnace is equipped with a removable bottom
panel to facilitate installation,
Markings are provided on both sides of the furnace cabinet
for installations that require side return air. Cut the furnace
cabinet at the maximum dimensions shown on page 2.
NOTE -When air volumes over 1800 cfm (850 L/s) are
required with 60C or 60D models in an upflow applica-
tion, the following return air options are available:
1-Return air from single side with transition which will
accommodate 20 x 25 x 1 in. (508 x 635 x 25 mm) clean-
able air filter. (Required to maintain proper air velocity.)

NOTE -Heavy-gauge perforated sheet metal straps
(plumbers' straps) may be used to suspend the unit from
roof rafters or ceiling joists. When straps are used to sus-
pend the unit in this way, support must be providedfor both
the ends and the middle of the furnace to prevent sagging.
The straps must not interfere with the plenum or exhaust
piping instaflation. Securing screws should be 1/2 inch
from the top edge and 1-1/2 inch from the side edge in aft
cases. Cooling coils and supply and return air plenums
must be supported separately.
NOTE -When the furnace is installed on a platform in a
crawlspace, it must be elevated enough to avoid water
damage and to allow the evaporator coil to drain.
Return Air -- Horizontal Applications
Return air can be brought in through the end of a furnace
installed in a horizontal application, The furnace is
equipped with a removable bottom panel to facilitate
installation, See figure 9,

Use industry-approved standards to size and install the
supply and return air duct system. This will result in a quiet
and low-static system that has uniform air distribution.
NOTE -Do not operate the furnace with an external static
pressure that exceeds 0,5 inches w,c, Higher external stat-
ic pressures may cause erratic limit operation,
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable
access panel must be installed in the supply air duct, The
access panel should be large enough to permit inspection
(either by smoke or reflected light) of the heat exchanger
for leaks after the furnace is installed, The furnace access
panel must always be in place when the furnace is operat-
ing and it must not allow leaks into the supply air duct sys-
tem,
Return Air Plenum
Return air must not be drawn from aroom where this
furnace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heat-
er), is installed. When return air is drawn from a room, a
negative pressure is created in the room, If a gas ap-
pliance is operating in a room with negative pressure, the
flue products can be pulled back down the vent pipe and
into the room, This reverse flow of the flue gas may result
in incomplete combustion and the formation of carbon
monoxide gas. This toxic gas might then be distributed
throughout the house by the furnace duct system,
In upflow applications, the return air can be brought in
through the bottom or either side of the furnace. If a fur-
nace with bottom return air is installed on a platform, make
an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the
platform to ensure that the unit operates properly and
safely, Use fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equiva-
lent sealing method between the plenum and the furnace
cabinet to ensure a tight seal, Ifa filter is installed, size the
return air duct to fit the filter frame.
A 4-inch diameter flue transition is factory-installed on the
combustion air inducer outlet of all models. Modifying or
removing the flue transition will cause the unit to oper-
ate unsafely and will void the unit certification. The
vent connector does not require insulation.
The combustion air inducer may be rotated clockwise or
counterclockwise by 90° to allow for top or side vent dis-
charge in all applications. When the unit is installed, the flue
transition must be in the 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock or 3 o'clock
position. The unit will not vent properly with the flue
transition pointed down in the 6 o'clock position. Re-
move the four mounting screws, rotate the assembly (in-
cluding the gasket), then reinstall the mounting screws.
See figure 14. Use the provided wire tie to bundle the pres-
sure switch wires with the inducer motor power leads.
Route the wires away from moving parts and the heat
of the inducer motor to prevent damage to the wires.

vent pipe, it is recommended that three be used. Drive one
self-drilling screw through the front and one through each
side of the vent pipe and collar. See figure 16.
Install the first vent connector elbow at a minimum of six
inches (152 mm) from the furnace vent outlet.
Venting Using a Masonry Chimney
The following additional requirements apply when a lined
masonry chimney is used to vent this furnace.
Masonry chimneys used to vent Category I central fur-
naces must be either tile-lined or lined with a listed metal
lining system or dedicated gas vent. Unlined masonry
chimneys are prohibited. See figures 17 and 18 for com-
mon venting.
A chimney with one or more sides exposed to the outside of
the structure is considered to be an exterior chimney.
An exterior masonry chimney that is not tile-lined must be
lined with B1 vent or a listed insulated flexible metal vent.
An exterior tileqined chimney that is sealed and capped
may be lined with a listed uninsulated flexible metal vent.
If the existing chimney will not accommodate a B1 vent or
an insulated flexible vent pipe liner, either the chimney
must be rebuilt to accommodate one of these liners or an
alternate approved venting method must be found.
Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsu-
lated fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent
pipe manufacturer. See figure 17.
G50UH units installed in upflow applications may be
vented into a tile-lined masonry chimney without using a
listed metal liner, provided that the optional masonry chim-
ney vent adapter kit (18M79) is used. Instructions provided
with the kit must be followed exactly.
DO NOT insulate the space between the liner and the
chimney wall with puffed mica or any other loose gran-
ular insulating material

,IMPORTANT
A fan-assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an
existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions
are met:
• The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood
equipped appliance
• The vent connectors and chimney are sized accord-
ing to the provided venting tables for the USA, and
the appropriate venting tables in the standards of
CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Codes in Canada.
If type B1 double-wall vent is used inside a chimney, no oth-
er appliance can be vented into the chimney. The outer wall
of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to flue products.
A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall terminate
above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed roof as-
sembly according to the terms of their respective listings
and the vent manufacturer's instructions.
When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not
safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform
to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with
suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney
suitable for venting G50UH(X) series units. The chimney
passageway must be checked periodically to ensure that it
is clear and free of obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,
or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
FIGURE 18
Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that is
servicing a solid-fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney flue
is used to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening must
be permanently sealed.
A type B or listed chimney lining system that passes
through an unused masonry chimney flue is not considered
to be exposed to the outdoors.
General Venting Requirements
Vent all G50UH(X) furnaces according to these instruc-
tions:
1 - Vent diameter recommendations and maximum allow-
able piping runs are found in the provided venting tables
for the USA, and the appropriate venting tables in the
standards of CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes for Canada.
2 - In no case should the vent or vent connector diameter
be less than the diameter specified in the provided
venting tables for the USA, and the appropriate venting
tables in the standards of CSA B149 Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Codes for Canada.
3 - Single appliance vents -If the vertical vent or tile-lined
chimney has a larger diameter or flow area than the
vent connector, use the vertical vent diameter to de-
termine the minimum vent capacity and the vent
connector diameter to determine the maximum vent
capacity, The flow area of the vertical vent, however,
shall not exceed 7 times the flow area of the listed ap-
pliance categorized vent area, drafthood outlet area or
flue collar area unless designed according to approved
engineering methods.
4 - Multiple appliance vents - The flow area of the largest
section of vertical vent or chimney shall not exceed 7
times the smallest listed appliance categorized vent
area, drafthood outlet area orflue collar area unless de-
signed according to approved engineering methods.

_If the common vertical vent is offset, the maximum
common vent capacity listed in the common venting
tables should be reduced by 20%, the equivalent of two
90° elbows (0.80 x maximum common vent capacity).
The horizontal length of the offset shall not exceed
1-1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of common
vent diameter.
9 - The vent pipe should be as short as possible with the
least number of elbows and angles required to com-
plete the job. Route the vent connector to the vent us-
ing the shortest possible route.
10 - A vent connector shall be supported without any dips
or sags and shall slope a minimum of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm)
per linear foot (305 mm) of connector, back toward the
appliance.
11 - Vent connectors shall be firmly attached to the furnace
flue collar by self-drilling screws or other approved
means, except vent connectors of listed type B vent
material which shall be assembled according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Joints between sections
of single wall connector piping shall be fastened by
screws or other approved means.
12- When the vent connector used for Category I ap-
pliances must be located in or pass through a crawl-
space or other areas which may be cold, that portion of
the vent connector shall be constructed of listed
double-wall type B vent material or material having
equivalent insulation qualities.
13 - All venting pipe passing through floors, walls, and ceil-
ings must be installed with the listed clearance to com-
bustible materials and be fire stopped according to lo-
cal codes. In absence of local codes, refer to NFGC
(Z223.1).
14 - No portion of the venting system can extend into, or pass
through any circulation air duct or plenum.
15 - Vent connectors serving Category I appliances shall
not be connected to any portion of mechanical draft
systems operating under positive pressure such as
Category III or IV venting systems.
16 - If vent connectors are combined prior to entering the
common vent, the maximum common vent capacity
listed in the common venting tables must be reduced by
10%, the equivalent of one 90° elbow (0.90 x maximum
common vent capacity).
17 - The common vent diameter must always be at least as
large as the largest vent connector diameter.
18 - In no case, shall the vent connector be sized more than
two consecutive table size diameters over the size of
the draft hood outlet or flue collar outlet.
19 - Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regu-
lator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the
chimney.
20 - When connecting this appliance to an existing dedi-
cated or common venting system, you must inspect the
venting system's general condition and look for signs
of corrosion. The existing vent pipe size must conform
to these instructions and the provided venting tables
for the USA, and the appropriate venting tables in the
standards of CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes for Canada. If the existing venting
system does not meet these requirements, it must be
resized.

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate gas ap-
pliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to
properly vent the remaining attached appliances,
Conduct the following test while each appliance is operat-
ing and the other appliances (which are not operating) re-
main connected to the common venting system. If the
venting system has been installed improperly, you must
correct the system as indicated in the general venting re-
quirements section,
1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys-
tem.
_Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch, Determine that there is no blockage, restriction,
leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition,
3 - Close all building doors and windows and all doors be-
tween the space in which the appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are located
and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dry-
ers and any appliances 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 ex-
haust fan. Close fireplace dampers,
4 - Follow the lighting instructions, Turn on the appliance
that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that
the appliance operates continuously,
5 - After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test
for leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening,
Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar, or pipe,
6 - After determining that each appliance connected to the
common venting system is venting properly, (step 3)
return all doors, widows, exhaust fans, fireplace damp-
ers, and any other gas-burning appliances to their pre-
vious mode of operation,
7 - If a venting problem is found during any of the preced-
ing tests, the common venting system must be modi-
fied to correct the problem,

A,CAUTION
3 - The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters,
or elevator shafts.
4 - The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per 15
feet (4,57 m) upward toward the meter from the fur-
nace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals
[every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with suitable hang-
ers or straps, Install a drip leg inside vertical pipe runs
to the unit,
5- In some localities, codes may require the installation of
a manual main shut-off valve and union (furnished by
the installer) external to the unit, The union must be of
the ground joint type,
A,IMPORTANT
Gas Supply
1 - This unit is shipped standard for left or right side instal-
lation of gas piping (or top entry in horizontal applica-
tions). Connect the gas supply to the piping assembly.
2 - When connecting the gas supply piping, consider fac-
tors such as length of run, number of fittings, and fur-
nace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 9
lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.
NOTE -Install a 1/8inch NPT plugged tap in the field piping
upstream of the gas supply connection to the unit. The tap
must be accessible for test gauge connection. See figure 19.
NQ TE -If emergency shutoff is necessarj4 shut off the main
manual gas valve and disconnect main power to the fur-
nace. The installer should properly label these devices.
