Details of Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations for Direct Vent Installations

NOTE − In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from outdoors and flue gases are discharged to outdoors. Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In at- tic or closet installations, vertical termination through the roof is preferred. Figures 20 through 28 show typical ter- minations.

1. Exhaust and intake exits must be in same pressure

zone. Do not exit one through the roof and one on the

side. Also, do not exit the intake on one side and the

exhaust on another side of the house or structure.

9. Based on the recommendation of the manufacturer, a multiple furnace installation may use a group of up to four termination kits WTK assembled together hori- zontally, as shown in figure 26.

If necessary, install a field−provided reducer to adapt

 

larger vent pipe size to termination pipe size.

4.

On roof terminations, the intake piping should termi-

 

nate straight down using two 90° elbows (See figure

 

20).

5.

Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as

 

shown. In rooftop applications, a reducer may be re-

 

quired 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 14.

(305mm) beyond the outside wall. Intake piping

should be as short as possible. See figure 21.

7. On field supplied terminations, a minimum separation

distance between the end of the exhaust pipe and the

end of the intake pipe is 8 inches (203mm).

8. If intake and exhaust piping must be run up a side wall

to position above snow accumulation or other obstruc-

tions, piping must be supported every 3 ft. (.9m) as

shown in figure 12. Refer to figure 24 for proper piping

method. In addition, WTK wall termination kit must be

extended for use in this application. See figure 27.

When exhaust and intake piping must be run up an

outside wall, the exhaust piping is reduced to 1−1/2"

(38mm) after the final elbow. The intake piping may be

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.
