Safety Information
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a licensed professional installer (or
equivalent), service agency or the gas supplier.
CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp
sheet metal edges can result in personal injury. Take
care while handling this equipment and wear gloves
and protective clothing.
Use only the type of gas approved for use with this fur-
nace. Refer to unit nameplate.
Building Codes
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
Installed Locations
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.
This furnace is designed for installation clearances to
combustiblematerial as listed on the unit nameplate and
in the tables in gures 10 and 11. Accessibility and ser-
vice clearances must take precedence over re protection
clearances.
NOTE - For installation on combustible oors, the furnace
shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material other than wood ooring.
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
oor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid
physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed

Page 5
in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a
hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed ac-
cording to recommended good practice requirements and
current National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standard.
NOTE - Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature
rise (100% percent capacity) within the range(s) specied
on the unit nameplate. Failure to do so may cause erratic
limit operation and may also result in premature heat ex-
changer failure.
This SLP98UHV furnace must be installed so that its elec-
trical components are protected from water.
Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be in-
stalled in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.
With a parallel ow arrangement, a damper (or other
means to control the ow of air) must adequately prevent
chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper is man-
ually 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. See gure 3.

When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes. In addition, in the United States,
installation must conform with the current National Elec-
tric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code
(ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following ad-
dress:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
NOTE - This furnace is designed for a minimum continu-
ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermittent
operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where a
night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature
must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.
In Canada, all electrical wiring and grounding for the unit
must be installed according to the current regulations of
the Canadian Electrical Code Part I (CSA Standard C22.1)
and/or local codes.
CAUTION
Do not set thermostat below 60F (16C) in heating mode.
Setting below 60F (16C) reduces the number of heating
cycles. Damage to the unit may occur that is not covered
by the warranty.
The SLP98UHV furnace may be installed in alcoves, clos-
ets, attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms.
This furnace is not designed for installation in mobile
homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
Never use an open ame to test for gas leaks. Check all
connections using a commercially available soap solution
made specically for leak detection.
Use of Furnace as Cinstruction Heater
Lennox does not recommend the use of SLP98UHV units
as a construction heater during any phase of construc-
tion. Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and
operation of the unit with clogged or misplaced lters will
damage the unit.
SLP98UHV units may be used for heating of buildings or
structures 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 xed 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 lters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
• Air lters 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.

Page 6
• The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct sys-
tem, air lters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following nal construction clean-up.
• All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in-
put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be veried
according to these installation instructions.

subject to freezing temperatures..
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 SLP98UHV furnace:
• Place the furnace as close to the center of the air distri-
bution system as possible. The furnace should also be
located close to the chimney or vent termination point
• When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insulat-
ed space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
• When the furnace is installed in an unconditioned
space, consider provisions required to prevent freezing
of condensate drain system.
• Please consult the manufacturer of your evaporator
coil for their recommendations on distance required
between the heat exchanger and their drain pan. Ad-
equate space must be provided between the drain pan
and the furnace heat exchanger.

WARNING
The blower door must be securely in place when the
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into the
living space resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in personal
injury or death. Combustion and ue products must
never be allowed to enter the return air system or air in
the living space. Use sheet metal screws and joint tape
to seal return air system to furnace.
In platform installations with furnace return, the furnace
should be sealed airtight to the return air plenum. A door
must never be used as a portion of the return air duct
system. The base must provide a stable support and an
airtight seal to the furnace. Allow absolutely no sagging,
cracks, gaps, etc. For no reason should return and
supply air duct systems ever be connected to or from
other heating devices such as a replace or stove, etc.

oor joists, as shown in gure 12, or install the furnace on
a platform, as shown in gure 13. A horizontal suspension
kit (51W10) may be ordered from Lennox or use equiva-
lent.
NOTE - Heavy-gauge sheet metal straps may be used to
suspend the unit from roof rafters or ceiling joists. When
straps are used to suspend the unit in this way, support
must be provided for both the ends. The straps must not
interfere with the plenum or exhaust piping installation.
Cooling coils and supply and return air plenums must
be supported separately.

Return Air -- Horizontal Applications
Return air must be brought in through the end of a fur-
nace installed in the horizontal position. The furnace is
equipped with a removable bottom panel to facilitate in-
stallation. See gure 7.
Filters
This unit is not equipped with a lter or rack. A eld-provid-
ed lter is required for the unit to operate properly. Table 1
lists recommended lter sizes.
IMPORTANT
If a highefciency lter is being installed as part of this
system to ensure better indoor air quality, the lter must
be properly sized. Highefciency lters have a higher
static pressure drop than standard efciency glass/foam
lters. If the pressure drop is too great, system capacity
and performance may be reduced. The pressure drop
may also cause the limit to trip more frequently during
the winter and the indoor coil to freeze in the summer,
resulting in an increase in the number of service calls.
Before using any lter with this system, check the
specications provided by the lter manufacturer against
the data given in the appropriate Lennox Product
Specications bulletin. Additional information is provided
in Service and Application Note ACC002 (August 2000).
A lter must be in place when the unit is operating.
NOTE - In upow applications where side return air lter is
installed on same side as the condensate trap, make sure
that clearance is maintained to ensure future access to
the lter access panel.

Duct System
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 - Operation of this furnace in heating mode (indoor
blower operating at selected heating speed) with an ex-
ternal static pressure which exceeds 0.8 inches w.c. may
result in erratic limit operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a remov-
able access panel should be installed in the supply air
duct. The access panel should be large enough to permit
inspection (by reected light) of the heat exchanger for
leaks after the furnace is installed. If present, this access
panel must always be in place when the furnace is oper-
ating and it must not allow leaks into the supply air duct
system.
Return Air Plenum
Return air must not be drawn from a room where this fur-
nace, or any other gas-fueled appliance (i.e., water heat-
er), or carbon monoxide-producing device (i.e., wood re-
place) is installed. When return air is drawn from a room,
a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas appli-
ance is operating in a room with negative pressure, the
ue products can be pulled back down the vent pipe and
into the room. This reverse ow of the ue gas may re-
sult 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.
Return air can be brought in through the bottom or either
side of the furnace (return air brought in through either
side of the furnace allowed in upow applications only). If
a furnace 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 proper-
ly and safely. Use berglass sealing strips, caulking, or
equivalent sealing method between the plenum and the
furnace cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If a lter is installed,
size the return air duct to t the lter frame.
Pipe Fittings Specications
All pipe, ttings, primer and solvent cement must conform
with American National Standard Institute and the Ameri-
can Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) stan-
dards. The solvent shall be free-owing and contain no
lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that
adversely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance
of the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, strati-
cation, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring.
Refer to table 2 for approved piping and tting materials.

CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are ammable liquids
and should be kept away from all sources of ignition.
Do not use excessive amounts of solvent cement when
making joints. Good ventilation should be maintained to
reduce re hazard and to minimize breathing of solvent
vapors. Avoid contact of cement with skin and eyes.
IMPORTANT
SLP98UHV exhaust and intake connections are made
of PVC. Use PVC primer and solvent cement when
using PVC vent pipe. When using ABS vent pipe, use
transitional solvent cement to make connections to the
PVC ttings in the unit.

Page 12
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent cement meeting ASTM specications, refer to Table 2. As an alternate,
use all purpose cement, to bond ABS, PVC, or CPVC pipe when using ttings and pipe made of the same materials. Use
transition solvent cement when bonding ABS to either PVC or CPVC. Low temperature solvent cement is recommended.
Metal or plastic strapping may be used for vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC.

4 Termination kits 30G28, 44W92, 4493 and 81J20 are certied to ULC S636 for use in Canada only.
5 See table 7 for vent accelerator requirements.
Joint Cementing Procedure
All cementing of joints should be done according to the
specications outlined in ASTM D 2855.
NOTE - A sheet metal screw may be used to secure the
intake pipe to the connector, if desired. Use a drill or self
tapping screw to make a pilot hole.
DANGER
Fumes from PVC glue may ignite during system check.
Allow fumes to dissipate for at least 5 minutes before
placing unit into operation.
1 - Measure and cut vent 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 tting socket
and result in a leaking joint.
NOTE - Check the inside of vent pipe thoroughly for any
obstruction that may alter furnace operation.
3 - Clean and dry surfaces to be joined.
4 - Test t joint and mark depth of tting on outside of
pipe.
5 - Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for
PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside
socket surface of tting and male end of pipe to
depth of tting socket.
6 - Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and
inside socket surface of tting. Cement should be
applied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take
care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply
second coat to end of pipe.
NOTE - Time is critical at this stage. Do not allow prim-
er to dry before applying cement.

Page 13
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 PVC pipe
1/4 turn during assembly (but not after pipe is fully
inserted) to distribute cement evenly. DO NOT turn
ABS or cellular core pipe.
NOTE - Assembly should be completed within 20 sec-
onds 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 tting socket. A properly made joint will show
a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may
indicate a defective assembly due to insufcient
solvent.
9 - Handle joints carefully until completely set.
Venting Practices
* See table2 for allowable pipe.
Piping Suspension Guidelines
NOTE - Isolate piping at the point where it exits the outside wall or
roof in order to prevent transmission of vibration to the structure.

Wall Thickness Guidelines
FIGURE 14
1 - In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior
walls, hole must be large enough`to allow clearance
on all sides of pipe through center of hole using a
hanger.
2 - When furnace is installed in a residence where unit
is shut down for an extended period of time, such
as a vacation home, make provisions for draining
condensate collection trap and lines.
Exhaust Piping (Figures 18 and 19)
3 - Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in piping
termination section.
Intake Piping (Figures 18 and 19)
The SLP98UHV furnace may be installed only in direct
vent applications.
The SLP98UHV is designed for combustion air intake
through an inlet in the unit’s top cap. Intake air piping is
independent of exhaust piping.
If replacing a furnace which was
commonly 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.

CAUTION
Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or
stack that also serves another gas appliance. If vertical
discharge through an existing unused stack is required,
insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end is even
with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pressure
and must be completely sealed to prevent leakage of
combustion products into the living space.
Vent Pipe Guidelines
NOTE - Lennox has approved the use of DuraVent® and
Centrotherm manufactured vent pipe and terminations
as an option to PVC. When using the PolyPro® by Du-
raVent or InnoFlue® by Centrotherm venting system the
vent pipe requirements stated in the unit installation in-
struction – minimum & maximum vent lengths, termina-
tion clearances, etc. – apply and must be followed. Follow
the instructions provided with PoyPro by DuraVent and
InnoFlue® by Centrotherm venting system for assembly
or if requirements are more restrictive. The PolyPro by
Duravent and In noFlue by Centrotherm venting system
must also follow the uninsulated and unconditioned space
criteria listed in table 6.

Page 14
The SLP98UHV 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
tables 4 and 5. Count all elbows inside and outside the
home. Table 4 lists the minimum vent pipe lengths per-
mitted. Table 5 lists the maximum pipe lengths permitted.
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 7.
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 gure 17 to correctly size vent pipe di-
ameter.
NOTE - It is acceptable to use any pipe size which ts
within the guidelines allowed in table 5.
Exhaust Pipe
NOTE - Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust fittings.
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.

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.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or
intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and
may block the terminations..

General Guidelines for Vent Terminations
In Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from
outdoors and the ue gases are discharged to the out-
doors. The SLP98UHV is classied as a direct vent, Cate-
gory IV gas furnace.
In Direct Vent applications, the vent termination is limited
by local building codes. In the absence of local codes, re-
fer to the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223-1/
NFPA 54 in U.S.A., and current CSA-B149 Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Codes in Canada for details.
Position termination according to location given in gure
20. In addition, position termination so it is free from any
obstructions and 12” above the average snow accumula-
tion.
At vent termination, care must be taken to maintain protec-
tive coatings over building materials (prolonged exposure
to exhaust condensate can destroy protective coatings).
It is recommended that the exhaust outlet not be located
within 6 feet (1.8m) of an outdoor AC unit because the
condensate can damage the painted coating.
NOTE - See table 6 for maximum allowed exhaust pipe
length without insulation in unconditioned space during
winter design temperatures below 32°F (0°C). If required
exhaust pipe should be insulated with 1/2” (13mm) Ar-
maex or equivalent. In extreme cold climate areas, 3/4”
(19mm) Armaex or equivalent may be necessary. Insu-
lation must be protected from deterioration. Armaex with
UV protection is permissable. Basements or other en-
closed areas that are not exposed to the outdoor ambient
temperature and are above 32 degrees F (0°C) are to be
considered conditioned spaces.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or
intake terminations. Doing so will cause freeze-ups and
may block the terminations..
IMPORTANT
For Canadian Installations Only:
In accordance to CSA International B149 installation
codes, the minimum allowed distance between the
combustion air intake inlet and the exhaust outlet of other
appliances shall not be less than 12 inches (305mm).

2 Poly-Propylene vent pipe (PP) by Duravent and Centrotherm.
NOTE - Concentric terminations are the equivalent of 5’ and should be considered when measuring pipe length.
NOTE - Maximum uninsulated vent lengths listed may include the termination(vent pipe exterior to the structure) and cannot exceed 5 linear feet or the maximum allowable
intake or exhaust vent length listed in table 5 or which ever is less.
NOTE - If insulation is required in an unconditioned space, it must be located on the pipe closest to the furnace. See gure21.

Details of Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations for
Direct Vent Installations
NOTE - In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken
from outdoors and ue gases are discharged to outdoors.
NOTE - Flue gas may be slightly acidic and may adverse-
ly affect some building materials. If any vent termination
is used and the ue gasses may impinge on the building
material, a corrosion-resistant shield (minimum 24 inches
square) should be used to protect the wall surface. If the
optional tee is used, the protective shield is recommend-
ed. The shield should be constructed using wood, plastic,
sheet metal or other suitable material. All seams, joints,
cracks, etc. in the affected area should be sealed using an
appropriate sealant. See gure 29.
Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizon-
tally through an outside wall or vertically through the roof.
In attic or closet installations, vertical termination through
the roof is preferred. Figures 22 through 30 show typical
terminations.
1 - Intake and exhaust terminations are not required
to be in the same pressure zone. You may exit the
intake on one side of the structure and the exhaust
on another side (gure 23). You may exit the
exhaust out the roof and the intake out the side of
the structure (gure 24).
2 - Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close
together as possible at termination end (refer to
illustrations). Maximum separation is 3” (76mm)
on roof terminations and 6” (152mm) on side wall
terminations.
NOTE - When venting in different pressure zones,
the maximum separation requirement of intake and
exhaust pipe DOES NOT apply.
3 - On roof terminations, the intake piping should
terminate straight down using two 90° elbows (See
gure 22).
4 - Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. A reducer may be required on the exhaust
piping at the point where it exits the structure to
improve the velocity of exhaust away from the
intake piping. See table 7.
NOTE - Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of
exhaust back into intake pipe.
5 - On eld-supplied terminations for side wall exit,
exhaust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches
(305mm) for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3”
(76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall. Intake piping
should be as short as possible. See gure 29.
6 - On eld-supplied terminations, a minimum distance
between the end of the exhaust pipe and the end of
the intake pipe without a termination elbow is 8” and
a minimum distance of 6” with a termination elbow.
