Horizontal Applications

The ML180UHE furnace can be installed in horizontal ap- plications. Order horizontal suspension kit (51W10) from Lennox, or use equivalent suspension method.

Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated on the unit nameplate. Minimum clearances for closet or al- cove installations are shown in figure 12.

This furnace may be installed in either an attic or a crawl- space. Either suspend the furnace from roof rafters or floor joists, as shown in figure 13, or install the furnace on a platform, as shown in figure 14.

NOTE − Heavy−gauge perforated 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 pip- ing installation. 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 must 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 11.
