1 − Use field−provided materials and the factory−provided air intake screen to route the intake piping as shown in figures 17 and 18. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3" (76mm) around the air intake opening. The air intake opening (with the protective screen) should always be directed either downward or straight out. Use 2" pipe and fittings only and make sure that the air intake does not extend more than 6" beyond the G61MP cabinet. The air intake connector must not be located near the floor. To avoid this complication in downflow applications which do not include a downflow evaporator coil, the intake air routing should be modi- fied as shown in figure 18.

2 − Use a #7 sheet metal screw to secure the intake pipe to the connector, if desired. A pilot indentation is provided in the slip connector to assist in locating and starting the fas- tener.

3 − Glue the provided 2" plug into the unused air intake con- nector on the opposite side of the cabinet.

Testing for Proper Venting and Sufficient Combustion Air

(Non−Direct Vent Applications Only)

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon monox- ide poisoning or death.

The following steps shall be followed for each ap- pliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances con- nected to the venting system are not in operation.

After the G61MP gas furnace has been started, the follow- ing test should be conducted to ensure proper venting and sufficient combustion air has been provided to the G61MP, as well as to other gas-fired appliances which are separate- ly vented. The test should be conducted while all ap- pliances (both in operation and those not in operation) are connected to the venting system being tested. If the vent- ing system has been installed improperly, or if provisions have not been made for sufficient amounts of combustion air, corrections must be made as outlined in the previous section.

1 − Seal any unused openings in the venting system.

2 − Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch. Determine there is no blockage or re- striction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

G61MP specifications

Lennox International Inc. has long been a leader in HVAC solutions, and the G61MP gas furnace exemplifies the company's commitment to innovation and energy efficiency. This high-efficiency gas furnace operates with an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of up to 96%, allowing homeowners to save significantly on energy costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

One of the primary features of the G61MP is its modulating gas valve. This technology enables the furnace to operate at multiple levels of heating output, ensuring that it can adjust its performance according to the home’s heating demands. By modulating the heating output, the G61MP maximizes efficiency and minimizes energy waste, providing a consistent temperature and improved comfort.

The G61MP also incorporates advanced two-stage heating, which enhances its performance by reducing temperature fluctuations in the home. This feature is especially beneficial during transitional weather periods when heating needs may vary widely. With its ability to operate on a lower stage most of the time, the furnace can produce quieter operation and reduced energy consumption.

In terms of design, the G61MP includes a sealed combustion chamber that draws air from outside the home for combustion, enhancing safety and efficiency. This design feature eliminates the need for indoor air, improving indoor air quality. The furnace is also equipped with a high-efficiency ECM blower motor that not only boosts comfort but operates quietly and uses less electricity compared to traditional motors.

Further enhancing its efficiency, the G61MP utilizes a variable-speed blower, which allows for precise control of airflow throughout the home. This results in better humidity control and improved air distribution, providing an overall more comfortable environment.

The Lennox G61MP is compatible with the iComfort S30 smart thermostat, allowing homeowners to control their heating remotely, adjust settings based on their schedules, and access energy usage data. This connectivity transforms the G61MP into an integral part of a smart home ecosystem, facilitating energy conservation and comfort optimization.

Lastly, the G61MP is designed with durability in mind. Its robust construction and high-quality materials ensure reliable performance and lengthy service life. Homeowners can feel assured that they are investing in a heating solution that will meet their needs for many winters to come. In summary, the Lennox G61MP gas furnace stands out with its high efficiency, advanced technology, and user-friendly features, making it a top choice for homeowners seeking exceptional heating performance.
