*Front clearance in alcove installation must be 24 in. (610 mm). Maintain a minimum of 24 in. (610 mm) for front service access. **An 8” service clearance must be maintained below the unit to provide for servicing of the condensate trap.
‡For installations on a combustible floor, do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible materials other than wood flooring.
FIGURE 17
Suspended Installation of Horizontal Unit
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 18, or install the furnace on a platform, as shown in figure 19. A horizontal suspension kit (51W10) may be ordered from Lennox or use equiva lent.
NOTE -
Cooling coils and supply and return air plenums must be supported separately.
Platform Installation of Horizontal Unit
1 - Select location for unit keeping in mind service and other necessary clearances. See figure 17.
2 - Construct a raised wooden frame and cover frame with a plywood sheet. If unit is installed above finished space, install an an auxiliary drain pan under unit. Set unit in drain pan as shown in figure 19. Leave 8 inches for service clearance below unit for condensate trap.
3 - Provide a service platform in front of unit. When instal ling the unit in a crawl space, a proper support platform may be created using concrete blocks.
4 - Route auxiliary drain line so that water draining from this outlet will be easily noticed by the homeowner.
5 - If necessary, run the condensate line into a conden sate pump to meet drain line slope requirements. The pump must be rated for use with condensing furnaces. Protect the condensate discharge line from the pump to the outside to avoid freezing.
6 - Continue with exhaust, condensate and intake piping installation according to instructions.
