NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, INSTALLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFIRMING THAT
THE USE OF CONSTRUCTION HEAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICIES AND CODES OF ALL
REGULATING ENTITIES. ALL SUCH POLICIES AND CODES MUST BE ADHERED TO.
General
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 following general
recommendations must be considered when installing a EL297DFV furnace:
· Place the furnace as close to the center of the air distribution system as
possible. The furnace should also be located close to the chimney or vent
termination point.
· When the furnace is installed in non-direct vent applications, do not
install the furnace where drafts might blow directly into it. This could cause
improper combustion and unsafe operation.
· When the furnace is installed in non-direct vent applications, do not block
the furnace combustion air opening with clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is
needed for proper combustion and safe unit operation.
· When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated 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.
Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
If the EL297DFV is installed as a Non-Direct Vent Furnace, follow the
guidelines in this section.
NOTE – In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from indoors
or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue gases are discharged out-doors .
WARNING
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness or
asphyxiation. It will also cause excess water in the heat exchanger resulting
in rusting and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive exposure to
contaminated combustion air will result in safety and performance related
problems. Avoid exposure to the following substances in the combustion air
supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient outdoor air for
combustion. Infiltration provided all the air that was needed. In today’s
homes, tight construction practices make it necessary to bring in air from
outside for combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance vents,
chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air that could be used for
combustion out of the house.
Unless outside air is brought into the house for combustion, negative pressure
(outside pressure is greater than inside pressure) will build to the point
that a downdraft can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result,
combustion gases enter the living space creating a potentially dangerous
situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation,
use the guidelines and procedures in this section to install EL297DFV furnaces
to ensure efficient and safe operation.
Page 5
You must consider combustion air needs and requirements for exhaust vents and
gas pip-ing. A portion of this information has been reprinted with permission
from the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54). This reprinted material
is not the complete and official position of the ANSI on the referenced
subject, which is represented only by the standard in its entirety.
In Canada, refer to the CSA B149 installation codes.
CAUTION
EL297DFV unit should not be installed in areas normally subject to freezing
temperatures.
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion process. If sufficient
combustion air is not available, the furnace or other appliance will operate
inefficiently and unsafely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of
all fuel-burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust fans which force
air out of the house. When fireplaces, exhaust fans, or clothes dryers are
used at the same time as the furnace, much more air is required to ensure
proper combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air causes
incomplete combustion which can result in carbon monoxide
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air dilutes
contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants may include bleaches,
adhesives, detergents, solvents and other contaminants which can corrode
furnace components.
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation depend
largely on whether the furnace is installed in an unconfined or a confined
space.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or large equipment room with
a volume greater than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour
of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space. This
space also includes adjacent rooms which are not separated by a door. Though
an area may appear to be unconfined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor
air for combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight construction
with weather stripping and caulking around the windows and doors, follow the
procedures in the air from outside section.
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m3)
per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances
installed in that space. This definition includes furnace closets or small
equipment rooms. When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace,
the return air must be handled by ducts which are sealed to the furnace casing
and which terminate outside the space containing the furnace. This is
especially important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a confined
space such as a closet or small equipment room. Even a small leak around the
base of the unit at the platform or at the return air duct connection can
cause a potentially dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion
and ventilation can be brought into the confined space either from inside the
building or from outside.
Air from Inside
If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a space categorized as
unconfined, air can be brought in by providing two permanent openings between
the two spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1 square inch
(645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of total input rating of all gas-
fired equipment in the confined space. Each opening must be at least 100
square inches (64516 mm2). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of
the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305 mm) of the
bottom. See FIGURE 4.

Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined
space shall be provided with two permanent openings. One opening shall be
within 12″ (305mm) of the top of the enclosure and one within 12″ (305mm) of
the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the
outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors
or indirectly through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum free
area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu (645mm2 per 1.17kW) per hour of total
input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. When communicating with the
outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area
of 1 square inch per 2,000 Btu (645mm2 per .59kW) per total input rating of
all equipment in the enclosure (See FIGURE 5). It is also permissible to bring
in air for combustion from a ventilated attic (FIGURE 6) or ventilated crawl
space (FIGURE 7).

FIGURE 7
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined
space must have two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12 inches
(305 mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305 mm)
of the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the
outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors
or indirectly through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum free
area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000 Btu (1.17 kW) per hour of total
input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See FIGURE 5 and FIGURE 8.
When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening
shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 2,000 Btu (.56
kW) per total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figure 9.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross-sectional area as the
free area of the openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension of
rectangular air ducts shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating
free area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must be
considered. If the design and free area of protective covering is not known
for calculating the size opening required, it may be assumed that wood louvers
will have 20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have
60 to 75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the open
position or interlocked with the equipment so that they are opened
automatically during equipment operation.

Filters
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field-provided filter is
required for the unit to operate properly. TABLE 3 lists recommended minimum
filter size.
A filter must be in place whenever the unit is operating.
IMPORTANT
If a highefficiency filter is being installed as part of this system to ensure
better indoor air quality, the filter must be properly sized. Highefficiency
filters have a higher static pressure drop than standardefficiency glass/foam
filters. 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 filter with this system, check the specifications provided by
the filter manufacturer against the data given in the appropriate Lennox
Product Specifications bulletin. Additional information is provided in Service
and Application Note ACC002
(August 2000).

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards to size and install the supply and return air
duct system. Refer to ACCA Manual D. This will result in a quiet and low-
static system that has uniform air distribution. See figure below for proper
duct installation. NOTE – This furnace is not certified for operation in
heating mode (indoor blower operating at selected heating speed) with an
external static pressure which exceeds 0.8 inches w.c. Operation at these
conditions may result in improper limit operation.
Duct Installation Down-Flow Unit
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable access panel
should be installed in the supply air duct. The access panel should be large
enough to permit inspection of the heat exchanger. The furnace access panel
must always be in place when the furnace is operating and it must not allow
leaks into the supply air duct system.
Return Air Plenum
NOTE – Return air must not be drawn from a room where this furnace, or any
other gas-fueled appliance (i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide-producing
device (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure is created in the
room. If a gas appliance is operating in a room with negative pressure, the
flue products can be pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This
reverse flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete combustion and the
formation of carbon monoxide gas. This raw gas or toxic fumes might then be
distributed throughout the house by the furnace duct system.
Use fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent sealing method between
the plenum and the furnace cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If a filter is
installed, size the return air duct to fit the filter frame.
Pipe & Fittings Specifications
All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conform with American
National Standard Institute and the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ANSI/ASTM) standards. The solvent shall be free flowing 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, stratification, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring.
Refer to the table 4 below for approved piping and fitting materials
.
CAUTION
Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable 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 fire
hazard and to minimize breathing of solvent vapors. Avoid contact of cement
with skin and eyes.

EL297DFV 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 fittings in the
unit.
Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent cement meeting ASTM
specifications, refer to TABLE 4. As an alternate, use all purpose cement, to
bond ABS, PVC, or CPVC pipe when using fittings 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 during cooler weather.
Metal or plastic strapping may be used for vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply
a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean
inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting
socket. Canadian Applications Only – Pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement
used to vent (exhaust) this appliance must be certified to ULC S636 and
supplied by a single manufacturer as part of an approved vent (exhaust)

Joint Cementing Procedure
All cementing of joints should be done according to the specifications
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
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
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 fitting 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 fit joint and mark depth of fitting 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 fitting and male end of pipe to depth of
fitting socket.
6 – Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and inside socket surface of
fitting. 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 primer to dry before
applying cement.
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 seconds 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 fitting socket. A
properly made joint will show a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may
indicate an improper assembly due to insufficient solvent.
9 – Handle joints carefully until completely set.

VENT (Check sizing
for water heater only)
FURNACE (Replaced)
WATER HEATER
OPENINGS (To Adjacent
Room)
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.
FIGURE 24
Page 16
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.
Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a venting system
commonly run with separate gas appliances, the venting system is likely to be
too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances. Conduct the
following test while each appliance is operating and the other appliances
(which are not operating) remain connected to the common venting system. If
the venting system has been installed improperly, you must correct the system
as indicated in the general venting requirements section.
.
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 monoxide
poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the
venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances
connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1 – Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2 – Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch. Determine
that there is no blockage, restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 – Close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in
which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are
located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any
appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at
maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4 – Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance that is being
inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that the appliance operates continuously.
5 – After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test for leaks of flue
gases at the draft hood relief opening. Use the flame of a match or candle.
6 – After determining that each appliance connected to the common venting
system is venting properly, (step 3) return all doors, widows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers, and any other gas-burning appliances to their previous mode
of operation.
7 – If a venting problem is found during any of the preceding tests, the
common venting system must be modified to correct the problem. Resize the
common venting system to the minimum vent pipe size determined by using the
appropriate tables in Appendix G. (These are in the current standards of the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.
Exhaust Piping (FIGURE 26 and FIGURE 27)
Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with installation following
instructions given in piping termination section.
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard
Cutting or altering exhaust or air intake pipes, which are located in the
blower compartment, could result in Carbon Monoxide Poisoning or Death.
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.
Page 17
Vent Piping 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 DuraVent or InnoFlue® by Centrotherm venting system the
vent pipe requirements stated in the unit installation instruction minimum &
maximum vent lengths, termination 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 InnoFlue by Centrotherm venting
system must also follow the uninsulated and unconditioned space criteria
listed in table 8.
The EL297DFV can be installed as either a Non-Direct Vent or a Direct Vent gas
central furnace.
NOTE – In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is
taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue gases are
discharged outdoors. In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken
from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. Intake and exhaust pipe
sizing — Size pipe according to TABLE 6 (minimum pipe lengths) and TABLE 7
(maxim-
mum pipe lengths). Count all elbows inside and outside
the home.
TABLE 6

15 ft or 5ft plus 2 elbows or 10 ft plus 1 elbow
*Any approved termination may be added to the minimum length listed. Two 45 degree elbows are the equivalent to one 90 degree elbow.
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 10.
In some applications which permit the use of several different sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be used. Contact Lennox’ Application Department for assistance in sizing vent pipe in these applications.
IMPORTANT
Do not use screens or perforated metal in exhaust or intake terminations.
Doing so will cause freeze-ups and may block the terminations.
NOTE – It is acceptable to use any pipe size which fits within the guidelines allowed in TABLE 7. NOTE – All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope backtoward unit. A minimum of 1/4″ (6mm) drop for each 12″ (305mm) of horizontal run is mandatory for drainage. NOTE – Lennox offers a glueless vent adapter kit 17H92 as an option for exhaust exiting at the furnace top cap coupling.
NOTE – Exhaust pipe MUST be glued to furnace exhaust fittings. NOTE – Exhaust
piping should be checked carefully to make sure there are no sags or low
spots. NOTE – If right side venting option is used, you must include the elbow
at the furnace in the elbow count. If transitioning to 3″ dia pipe, this elbow
equates to 20′ of equivalent vent length for all models. Use the following
steps to correctly size vent pipe diameter.

Intake Piping
The EL297DFV furnace may be installed in either direct vent or non-direct vent
applications. In non-direct vent applications, when intake air will be drawn
into the furnace from the surrounding space, the indoor air quality must be
considered. Guidelines listed in Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air
section must be followed.
Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Direct Vent
applications, where combustion air is taken from outdoors and flue gases are
discharged outdoors. The provided air intake screen must not be used in direct
vent applications (outdoors).
1 – Use cement or a sheet metal screw to secure the intake pipe to the inlet
air connector.
2 – If intake air is drawn from a ventilated crawlspace (FIGURE 30) or
ventilated attic (FIGURE 31) the exhaust vent length must not exceed those
listed in table 9. If 3″ diameter pipe is used, reduce to 2″ diameter pipe to
accommodate the debris screen.
3 – Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with installation following
instructions given in general guide lines for piping terminations and intake
and exhaust piping terminations for direct vent sections. Refer to TABLE 7 for
pipe sizes.
CAUTION
If this unit is being installed in an application with combustion air coming
in from a space serviced by an exhaust fan, power exhaust fan, or other device
which may create a negative pressure in the space, take care when sizing the
inlet air opening. The inlet air opening must be sized to accommodate the
maximum volume of exhausted air as well as the maximum volume of combustion
air required for all gas appliances serviced by this space.

AIR INTAKE SCREEN (Provided)
NOTE – Air intake screen and elbow may be rotated, so that screen may be
positioned to face forward or to either side.
FIGURE 32 Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Non-Direct
Vent applications where combustion air is taken from indoors and flue gases
are discharged outdoors.
1 – Use field-provided materials and the factory-provided air intake screen to
route the intake piping as shown in FIGURE 32. Maintain a minimum clearance of
3″ (76mm) around the air intake opening. The air intake opening (with the
protective screen) should always be directed forward, or sideways.
2 – Use cement to secure the intake pipe to the connector, if desired.
General Guidelines for Vent Terminations In Non-Direct Vent applications,
combustion air is taken from indoors and the flue gases are discharged to the
outdoors. The EL297DFV is then classified as a non-direct vent, Category IV
gas furnace. In Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from
outdoors and the flue gases are discharged to the outdoors. The EL297DFV is
then classified as a direct vent, Category IV gas furnace.
In both Non-Direct Vent and Direct Vent applications, the vent termination is
limited by local building codes. In the absence of local codes, refer 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 FIGURE 34 or FIGURE 35. In
addition, position termination so it is free from any obstructions and 12″
above the average snow accumulation.
At vent termination, care must be taken to maintain protective 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 8 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) Armaflex or equivalent. In extreme cold climate areas, 3/4″
(19mm) Armaflex or equivalent may be necessary. Insulation must be protected
from deterioration. Armaflex with UV protection is permissable. Basements or
other enclosed 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 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).

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. NOTE – Flue gas may be slightly acidic
and may adversely affect some building materials. If any vent termination is
used and the flue 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 recommended.
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 FIGURE 44.
Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontallythrough an outside
wall or vertically through the roof. In attic or closet installations,
vertical termination through the roof is preferred. FIGURE 36 through FIGURE
43 shows typical terminations.
1 – Vent 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 (FIGURE 37). You may exit the exhaust out the roof and the intake out the
side of the structure (FIGURE 38).
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 FIGURE 36).
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 10.

*-045, -070 and -090 units with the flush mount termination must use the 1-1/2″accelerator supplied with the kit.
5 – On field-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 FIGURE 44. NOTE – Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of
exhaust back into intake pipe.
6 – On field 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. See FIGURE 44.

7 – If intake and exhaust piping must be run up a side wall to position above
snow accumulation or other obstructions, piping must be supported. At least
one bracket must be used within 6″ from the top of the elbow and then every
24″ (610mm) as shown in FIGURE 44, to prevent any movement in any direction.
When exhaust and intake piping must be run up an outside wall, the exhaust
piping must be terminated with pipe sized per table 10.The intake piping may
be equipped with a 90° elbow turndown. Using turndown will add 5 feet (1.5m)
to the equivalent length of the pipe.
8 – A multiple furnace installation may use a group of up to four terminations
assembled together horizontally, as shown in FIGURE 41.

1The exhaust termination tee should be connected to the 2″ or 3″ PVC flue pipe as shown in the illustration. In
horizontal tee applications there must be be a minimum of 3 ft away from covered patios or any living ares and
cannot be within 3 ft of a window. Do not use an accelerator in applications that include an exhaust termination
tee. The accelerator is not required.
2 As required. Flue gas may be acidic and may adversely affect some building materials. If a side wall vent
termination is used and flue gases will impinge on the building materials, a corrosion-resistant shield
(24 inches square) should be used to protect the wall surface. If optional tee is used, the protective shield
is recommended. The shield should be constructed using wood, sheet metal or other suitable material.
All seams, joints, cracks, etc. in affected area, should be sealed using an appropriate sealant. 3 Exhaust pipe 45° elbow can be rotated to the side away from the combustion air inlet to direct exhaust
away from adjacent property. The exhaust must never be directed toward the combustion air inlet.
FIGURE 44
Page 30
Details of Exhaust Piping Terminations for Non-Direct Vent Applications
Exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an outside wall or
vertically through the roof. In attic or closet installations, vertical
termination through the roof is preferred. See FIGURE 45 and FIGURE 46 for
typical terminations.
1 – Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as shown. The termination
pipe must be sized as listed in TABLE 10.The specified pipe size ensures
proper velocity required to move the exhaust gases away from the building.
2 -On field supplied terminations for side wall exit, exhaus t piping may
extend a maximum of 12 inches (305mm) for 2″ PVC and 20 inches (508mm) for 3″
(76mm) PVC beyond the outside wall.
3 -If exhaust piping must be run up a side wall to position above snow
accumulation or other obstructions, piping must be supported every 24 inches
(610mm). When exhaust piping must be run up an outside wall, any reduction in
exhaust pipe size must be done after the final elbow.
4 – Distance between exhaust pipe terminations on multiple furnaces must meet
local codes.

Gas Piping
CAUTION
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by the authority that has
jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at the gas valve and extend
outside the furnace cabinet. The flexible connector can then be added between
the black iron pipe and the gas supply line.
WARNING
Do not over torque (800 in-lbs) or under torque (350 inlbs) when attaching the
gas piping to the gas valve.
1 – Gas piping may be routed into the unit through either the left- or right-
hand side. Supply piping enters into the gas valve from the side of the valve
as shown in FIGURE 55. The maximum torque is 800 in lbs and minimum torque is
350 in lbs when when attaching the gas piping to the gas valve.
2 – When connecting gas supply, factors such as length of run, number of
fittings and furnace rating must be considered to avoid excessive pressure
drop. TABLE 11 lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications. NOTE –
Use two wrenches when connecting gas piping to avoid transferring torque to
the manifold.
3 – Gas piping must not run in or through air ducts, clothes chutes, chimneys
or gas vents, dumb waiters or elevator shafts. Center gas line through piping
hole. Gas line should not touch side of unit. See FIGURE 55.
4 – Piping should be sloped 1/4 inch per 15 feet (6mm per 5.6m) upward toward
the gas meter from the furnace. The piping must be supported at proper
intervals, every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.05m), using suitable hangers or
straps. Install a drip leg in vertical pipe runs to serve as a trap for
sediment or condensate.
5 – A 1/8″ N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located on the gas valve to
facilitate test gauge connection. See FIGURE 62.
6 – In some localities, codes may require installation of a manual main shut-
off valve and union (furnished by installer) external to the unit. Union must
be of the ground joint type.
IMPORTANT
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the
actions of liquified petroleum gases.
Leak Check
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all field-installed piping
connections for gas leaks. Use a commercially available leak detecting
solution specifically manufactured for leak detection. Never use an open flame
to test for gas leaks. The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply system
by closing the individual manual shut-off valve during any gas supply system
at pressures greater than or equal to ½ psig. (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.). This
furnace and its components are designed, manufactured and independently
certified to comply with all applicable ANSI/CSA standards. A leak check of
the furnace and its components is not required.

greater than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death, or property damage. Never use an open flame
to test for gas leaks. Check all connections using a commercially available
soap solution made specifically for leak detection. Some soaps used for leak
detection are corrosive to certain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly
after leak test has been completed.

Holes are on both sides of the furnace cabinet to facilitate wiring.
Install a separate (properly sized) disconnect switch near the furnace so that
power can be turned off for servicing.
Before connecting the thermostat or the power wiring, check to make sure the
wires will be long enough for servicing at a later date. Remove the blower
access panel to check the length of the wire.
Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use the provided unit wiring diagram and the field wiring diagrams shown in DIP Switch Settings and Field Wiring Ignition Control 103130-XX and FIGURE 60. Use 18-gauge wire or larger that is suitable for Class II rating for thermostat connections.
Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, according to the current National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green ground wire is provided in the field make-up box. NOTE – The EL297DFV furnace contains electronic components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
One line voltage “ACC” 1/4″ spade terminal is provided on the furnace integrated control. Any electronic air cleaner or other accessory rated up to one amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral leg of the circuit being connected to the one of the provided neutral terminals. See FIGURE 61 for control configuration. This terminal is energized when the indoor blower is operating.
Page 37
An unpowered, normally open (dry) set of contacts with a 1/4″ spade terminal
“HUM” are provided for humidifier connections and may be connected to 24V or
120V. Any humidifier rated up to one amp can be con nected to these terminals.
In 120V humidifier applications the neutral leg of the circuit can be

in the heating mode.
Install the room thermostat according to the instructions provided with the
thermostat. See DIP Switch Settings and Field Wiring Ignition Control
103130-XX for field wiring connections in varying applications. If the furnace
is being matched with a heat pump, refer to the instruction packaged with the
dual fuel thermostat.
Thermostat Selection
CAUTION
Field wiring for both communicating and noncommunicating applications is
illustrated in diagrams, which begin on Page 39.
Non-Communicating
In non-communicating applications the EL297DFV is designed to operate in a
SINGLE-STAGE mode or TWOSTAGE mode using a conventional thermostat.
For optimal performance in non-communicating applications, Lennox recommends
use of a ComfortSense® 7000 high quality electronic digital thermostat or any
other with adjustable settings for 1st stage / 2nd stage on / off
differentials and adjustable stage timers.
Communicating
In communicating applications a communicating thermostat must be used. Refer
to the instructions provided with the thermostat for installation, set-up and
operation. In communicating system all unused thermostat wire in the wire
bundle needs to be terminated inside and out. The extra wires can terminate on
the `C” terminal strip. (RSBus). Using an additional wire come off “C”
terminal and wire nut all the extra wires together. Termination on the outdoor
control must match the indoor control.
Indoor Blower Speeds
Non-Communicating
When the thermostat is set to “FAN ON,” the indoor blower will run
continuously at a field selectable percentage of the second-stage cooling
speed when there is no cooling or heating demand. The factory default setting
is 38% of cool speed. When the EL297DFV is running in the heating mode, the
indoor blower will run on the heating speed designated by the positions of DIP
switches 11, 12 and 13. When there is a cooling demand, the indoor blower will
run on the cooling speed designated by the positions of DIP switches 5 and 6.
First stage cooling will run at 70% cool speed.
Communicating
NOTE – When the EL297DFV is used with a communicating thermostat, proper
indoor blower speed selections are made by the communicating thermostat. When
the thermostat is set to “FAN ON,” the indoor blower will run at setting
determined during system configuration. See TABLE 22 on page 55 for allowable
circulatuion speeds.
When there is a heating demand the fan will run on heating speeds for firing
rate. See TABLE 21 on page 55 for allowable heating speeds. When there is a
cooling demand, the fan will run on the first stage and second stage cooling
speed set using thermostat in the installer setup mode. The factory default is
based upon 400 CFM a ton.
Generator Use – Voltage Requirements
The following requirements must be kept in mind when specifying a generator
for use with this equipment:
· The furnace requires 120 volts (Range: 102 volts to 132 volts)
· The furnace operates at 60 Hz + 5% (Range: 57 Hz to 63 Hz)
· The furnace integrated control requires both correct polarity and proper
ground. Both polarity and proper grounding should be checked before attempting
to operate the furnace on either permanent or temporary power

Unused wires
Communicating systems using the Communicating thermostat require four
thermostat wires between the thermostat and the furnace/air handler control
and four wires between the outdoor unit and the furnace/air handler control.
When a thermostat cable with more than four wires is used, the extra wires
must be properly connected to avoid electrical noise. The wires must not be
left disconnected.
Use wire nuts to bundle the four unused wires at each end of the cable. A
single wire should then be connected to the indoor unit end of the wire bundle
and attached to the “C” terminals as shown above.

Integrated Control DIP Switch Settings Conventional Thermostat (non-
communicating)
EL297DFV units are equipped with a two-stage, variable speed integrated
control. This control manages ignition timing, heating mode fan off delays and
indoor blower speeds based on selections made using the control dip switches
and jumpers. The control includes an internal watchguard feature which
automatically resets the ignition control when it has been locked out. After
one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the watchguard will break
and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset the
control to relight the furnace. Note: All communicating settings are set at
the communicating therrmostat. See thermostat installation instruction. In a
communication system all DIP switch and clippable link settings are ignored.
For conventional thermostats proceed with DIP switch and clippable link
settings as outlined in the following.
Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings
Switch 1 — Thermostat Selection — This unit may be used with either a single-
stage or two-stage thermostat. The thermostat selection is made using a DIP
switch which must be properly positioned for the particular application. The
DIP switch is factory-positioned for use with a twostage thermostat. If a
single-stage thermostat is to be used, the DIP switch must be repositioned.
a. Select “OFF” for two-stage heating operation controlled by a two-stage
heating thermostat (factory setting);
b. Select “ON” for two-stage heating operation controlled by a single-stage
heating thermostat. This setting provides a timed delay before second-stage
heat is initiated.
Switch 2 — Second Stage Delay (Used with SingleStage Thermostat Only) — This
switch is used to determine the second stage on delay when a single-stage
thermosta is being used. The switch is factory-set in the OFF position, which
provides a 7-minute delay before secondstage heat is initiated. If the switch
is toggled to the ON position, it will provide a 12-minute delay before
secondstage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when the
thermostat selector jumper is positioned for single stage thermostat use.
Switches 3 and 4 — Blower-Off Delay — The blower-on delay of 30 seconds is not
adjustable. The blower-off delay (time that the blower operates after the
heating demand has been satisfied) can be adjusted by moving switches 3 and 4
on the integrated control. The unit is shipped from the factory with a blower-
off delay of 90 seconds. The blower off delay affects comfort and is
adjustable to satisfy individual applications. Adjust the blower off delay to
achieve a supply air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact moment
that the blower is de-energized. Longer off delay settings provide lower
supply air temperatures; shorter settings provide higher supply air
temperatures.TABLE 13 provides the blower off timings that will result from
different switch settings.

Switches 5 and 6 — Cooling Mode Blower Speed — The unit is shipped from the
factory with the dip switches positioned for high speed (4) indoor blower
motor operation during the cooling mode. TABLE 14 provides the cooling mode
blower speeds that will result from different switch settings. Switches 5 and
6 set the blower cfm for secondstage cool. The integrated control
automatically ramps down to 70% of the second-stage cfm for first-stage cfm.

On-Board Links Note: In a communicating systems with a conventional outdoor
unit (non-communicating), the on-board clippable links must be set to properly
configure the system.
WARNING
Carefully review all configuration information provided. Failure to properly
set DIP switches, jumpers and onboard links can result in improper operation!
On-Board Link W914 Dehum or Harmony (R to DS) Onboard link W914, is a
clippable connection between terminals R and DS on the integrated control.
W914 must be cut when the furnace is installed with either the Harmony III
zone control or a thermostat which features humidity control. If the link is
left intact the PMW signal fromHarmony III control will be blocked and also
lead to controldamage.
Refer to TABLE 19 for operation sequence in applications including EL297DFV, a
thermostat which features humidity control and a single-speed outdoor unit.
TABLE 20 gives the operation sequence in applications with a twospeed outdoor
unit.
On-Board Link W951 Heat Pump (R to O)
On-board link W951 is a clippable connection between terminals R and O on the
integrated control. W951 must be cut when the furnace is installed in
applications which include a heat pump unit and a thermostat which features
dual fuel use. If the link is left intact, terminal “O” will remain energized
eliminating the HEAT MODE in the heat pump.
On-Board Link W915 2 Stage Compr (Y1 to Y2)
On-board link W915 is a clippable connection between terminals Y1 and Y2 on
the integrated control. W915 must be cut if two-stage cooling will be used. If
the Y1 to Y2 link is not cut the outdoor unit will operate in second-stage
