LENNOXOEMPARTS.COM
Electrical blower control components (A15), unit transformĆ
er (T1) and 24V circuit breaker (CB8) are located in the conĆ
trol box. In addition, a door interlock switch (S51) is located
in the control box. Jackplugs and a snapĆoff" terminal strip
allow the control box to be easily removed for blower serĆ
vice.
1- Control Transformer (T1)
A transformer located in the control box provides power to
the low voltage 24volt section of the unit. Transformers on
all models are rated 40VA with a 120V primary and a 24V
secondary.
2- Circuit Breaker (CB8)
A 24V circuit breaker is also located in the control box. The
switch provides overcurrent protection to the transformer
(T1). The breaker is rated 3A at 32V. If the current exceeds
this limit the breaker will trip and all unit operation will shutĆ
down. The breaker can be manually reset by pressing the
button on the face.
3-Door Interlock Switch (S51)
A door interlock switch rated 14A at 125VAC is located on
the control box. The switch is wired in series with line voltĆ
age. When the blower door is removed the unit will shut
down.
4-Flame Sensor (-3 through -6 models)
A flame sensor is located on the left side of the burner supĆ
port. See figure 8. The sensor is mounted on a bracket in
the burner support and the tip protrudes into the flame enĆ
velope of the left-most burner. The sensor is fastened to
burner supports and can be removed for service without
removing any part of the burners. During operation, flame
is sensed by current passed through the flame and sensĆ
ing electrode. The SureLight control allows the gas valve
to remain open as long as flame signal is sensed.

5-Burners
All units use inshot burners (see figure 9). Burners are factory
set and do not require adjustment. A sigh t gl as s is furĆ
nished in the burner box assembly for flame viewing. AlĆ
ways operate the unit with the burner box cover in place.
Burners can be removed as an assembly for service. Burner
maintenance and service is detailed in the MAINTENANCE
section of this manual. Each burner uses an orifice which is
precisely matched to the burner input (see nameplate for
orifice size). The orifice is threaded into the burner manĆ
ifold. The burner is supported by the orifice and will easily
slide off for service. Each orifice and burner are sized speĆ
cifically to the unit. Refer to Lennox Repair Parts Listing for
correct sizing information. A flame retention ring in the end of
each burner maintains correct flame length and shape and
keeps the flame from lifting off the burner head. In addition,
the burner entrance to each clamshell (Figure 2) is fitted with
a corbel cup (orifice)
used to direct the
flow of combustion
products.

DANGER
Shock hazard.
Disconnect power before servicing. Control is not
field repairable. If control is inoperable, simply
replace entire control.
Can cause injury or death. Unsafe operation will
result if repair is attempted.
6- SureLight Ignition System A3
(-3 through -6 models)
All G26-3 through -6 model units are equipped with the
Lennox Sure - Light ignition system. The system consists
of ignition control board (figure 10 with control terminal
designations in table 1) and ignitor (figures 8 and 11). The
board and ignitor work in combination to ensure furnace
ignition and ignitor durability. The SureLight integrated
board controls all major furnace operations. The board
also features two LED lights for troubleshooting and two
accessory terminals rated at (4) four amps. See table 2
for troubleshooting diagnostic codes. Table 3 and 4 show
jack plug terminal designations. Units equipped with the
SureLight board can be used with either electronic or
electro-mechanical thermostats without modification.
The SureLight ignitor is made of durable silicon-nitride.
Ignitor longevity is also enhanced by voltage ramping by
the control board. The board finds the lowest ignitor temĆ
perature which will successfully light the burner, thus inĆ
creasing the life of the ignitor.
NOTE - Do not remove blower access panel to read
SureLight LED lights. A sight glass is provided on the
access panel for viewing.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during furnace
installation and service to protect the furnace's
electronic controls. Precautions will help to
avoid control exposure to electrostatic disĆ
charge by putting the furnace, the control and
the technician at the same electrostatic potenĆ
tial. Neutralize electrostatic charge by touching
hand and all tools on an unpainted unit surface,
such as the gas valve or blower deck, before perĆ
forming any service procedure.
a-Electronic Ignition
On a call for heat the SureLight control monitors the comĆ
bustion air blower pressure switch. The control will not beĆ
gin the heating cycle if the pressure switch is closed (bypassed). Once the pressure switch is determined to be
open, the combustion air blower is energized. When the
differential in the pressure switch is great enough, the
pressure switch closes and a 15-second pre-purge beĆ
gins. If the pressure switch is not proven within 2-1/2 minĆ
utes, the control goes into Watchguard-Pressure Switch
mode for a 5-minute re-set period.
After the 15-second pre-purge period, the SureLight igniĆ
tor warms up for 20 seconds after which the gas valve
opens for a 4-second trial for ignition. G26 units with board
63K89, 24L85 or 56L83: the ignitor stays energized for the
first second of the 4-second trial. Units with board 97L48:
ignitor stays energized for the full 4-second ignition trial. If
ignition is not proved during the 4-second period, the conĆ
trol will try four more times with an inter purge and warm-up
time between trials of 35 seconds. After a total of five trials
for ignition (including the initial trial), the control goes into
Watchguard-Flame Failure mode. After a 60-minute reset
period, the control will begin the ignition sequence again.
The SureLight control board has an added feature that
prolongs the life of the ignitor. After a successful ignition,
the SureLight control utilizes less power to energize the igĆ
nitor on successive calls for heat. The control continues to
ramp down the voltage to the ignitor until it finds the lowest
amount of power that will provide a successful ignition.
This amount of power is used for 255 cycles. On the 256th
call for heat, the control will again ramp down until the lowĆ
est power is determined and the cycle begins again.
b-Fan Time Control
The fan on time of 45 seconds is not adjustable. Fan off
time (time that the blower operates after the heat demand
has been satisfied) can be adjusted by flipping the dip
switches located on the SureLight integrated control. The
unit is shipped with a factory fan off setting of 90 seconds.
Fan off time will affect comfort and is adjustable to satisfy
individual applications. See figure 12.

8-Combustion Air Blower (B6)
All G26 units use a combustion air blower to move air
through the burners and heat exchanger during heating opĆ
eration. The blower uses a PSC or shaded Pole 120VAC
motor. PSC motors use run capacitors. The motor operates
during all heating operation and is controlled by blower conĆ
trol A15. The blower operates continuously while there is a
call for heat. The ignition control is prevented from proceedĆ
ing through the ignition sequence until combustion air blower
operation is sensed by the prove switch.
The pressure switch connected to the combustion air blower
housing is used to prove combustion air blower operation.
The switch monitors air pressure in the blower housing. DurĆ
ing normal operation, the pressure in the housing is negaĆ
tive. If the pressure drops (becomes more positive), the
pressure switch opens. When the pressure switch opens,
the ignition control (A3) immediately closes the gas valve to
prevent burner operation.
9-Primary Limit Control (S10)
The primary limit (S10) on G26 units is located in the
middle of the heating vestibule panel. When excess heat
is sensed in the heat exchanger, the limit will open. If the
limit is tripped, the furnace control energizes the supply air
blower and de-energizes the gas valve. The limit automatiĆ
cally resets when unit temperature returns to normal. The
switch is factory set and cannot be adjusted. The switch
may have a different setpoint for each unit model numĆ
ber. However, the setpoint will be printed on the side of
the limit.

When S47 senses flame rollout (indicating a blockage
in the combustion passages), the flame rollout switch
trips, and the ignition control immediately closes the
gas valve.
Switch S47 in all G26 units is factory preset to open at
200F + 12F (93C + 6.7C) on a temperature rise. All
flame rollout switches are manually reset. A kit (#65K60) is

11- BCC2-3 Blower Control A15
(-1 and -2 models)
All G26-2 and -1 model units utilize the BCC2Ć3 blower conĆ
trol manufactured by Heatcraft. The BCC2Ć3 is a printed cirĆ
cuit board which controls the supply air blower and monitors
primary limit and gas valve operation. The control has a
nonĆadjustable, factory preset fanĆon" timing. Fan off" timĆ
ing is adjustable. The board is divided into two sections,
120 and 24VAC. Line voltage comes into the board on the
120VAC side. See figure 16.
Fan Timings
Fan off" timing (time that the blower operates after the heat
demand has been satisfied) is determined by the arrangeĆ
ment of a jumper across pins on the BCC2Ć3 blower control
board. See figure 15. To adjust fan off " timing, gently disĆ
connect jumper and reposition across pins corresponding
with new timing. Fan on" time is factory set at 45 seconds
and is not adjustable.
NOTEĊIf fan off" time is set too low, residual heat in
heat exchanger may cause primary limit S10 to trip reĆ
sulting in frequent cycling of blower. If this occurs, adĆ
just blower to longer time setting.
Figure 15 shows the various fan off" timings and how jumper
should be positioned. Unit is shipped with a factory fan off"
setting of 90 seconds. Fan off" time will affect comfort and
efficiency and is adjustable to satisfy individual applications.
The fan off" timing is initiated after a heating demand but not
after a blower or cooling demand (that is, when indoor therĆ
mostat switch is changed from ON to AUTO and heating/
cooling demand is not present, the blower stops immediateĆ
ly).

12-Ignition Control (-1 and -2 models)
G26 -1 and -2 model units use an intermittent pilot ignition
manufactured by Johnson Controls. The ignition control is
located on the upper vest panel.
Unit Operation
When there is a call for heat, the control is prevented from
beginning an ignition sequence until the pressure switch
proves combustion air blower operation. When the pressure
switch closes, the control generates a spark and opens the
pilot valve to ignite the pilot. When flame is sensed, the conĆ
trol opens the main gas valve and the pilot ignites the main
burners. The indoor blower starts after a 45 second delay.
Gas valve remains open and combustion air blower continĆ
ues to run until demand stops, flame sensor senses loss of
flame, a limit opens or the prove switch opens. If any of these
events occur during a thermostat demand, the gas valve
closes.
The control will attempt ignition for 85 seconds. If ignition is
not successful, the control will lockout (indicated by flashĆ
ing LED). Within one hour the control will momentarily reĆ
move then reapply the thermostat signal and the ignition
sequence will begin again (Watchguard circuit). If pilot
ignition is successful, but flame is lost when the main valve
opens, the ignition sequence will retry up to 15 more times.
If ignition is not successful after the 16th try, the control will
shutĆdown and must be reset manually. Manual reset is
accomplished by removing thermostat demand for at least
2 seconds then reapplying demand.

Johnson G776 Ignition Control Operation
Th e infor ma tion in t his sec ti on is pro tected by a co py right iss ued by
Johnson Controls, Inc., and is reproduced with permission.
On a call for heat from indoor thermostat, the ignition control
energizes and ignition control LED lights (steady on). The
combustion air blower is energized. After 15 second preĆ
purge period, the control simultaneously opens pilot valve
and sends spark to pilot electrode.
If pilot ignites within 85 seconds, flame sensor detects pilot
flame and signals ignition control to energize the main
valve. The main valve cannot be energized until sensor
detects pilot flame. Spark continues until pilot flame is
sensed or 85 seconds has elapsed.
When pilot flame is sensed, main valve is energized and
spark turns off. The ignition control remains in run" mode
until indoor thermostat is satisfied or flame lost.
If pilot flame is not sensed before the end of the 85 second trial
for ignition, the control enters the 100% shutoff mode. The
spark circuit and pilot valve deĆenergize and the ignition conĆ
trol automatically begins the 60 minute retry delay period.
During the 60 minute delay the diagnostic LED continually
flashes on for one second and off for five seconds. After the
delay period, another trial for ignition sequence starts, beginĆ
ning with preĆpurge.
If pilot flame goes out while the indoor thermostat is calling
for heat, both main and pilot valves deĆenergize within 0.8
seconds and remain deĆenergized for five seconds. After
this delay, the spark and pilot valve energize until flame is
sensed or the 85 second trial for ignition period ends. If this
flameout" cycle repeats 16 times (pilot flame is estabĆ
lished and then lost), the control locks out and the LED
goes off. A new trial for ignition sequence begins after the
thermostat contacts are opened for 2 seconds and then
closed.
If flame is detected when the thermostat calls for heat, it
must extinguish within 30 seconds for normal operation. If
flame is still present after 30 seconds, the control goes into
lockout and the LED goes off.
13-Pilot, Spark Electrode, Flame Sensor
(-1 and -2 models)
Figure 18 shows the arrangement of pilot, flame sensor,
spark electrode and burners. The ignition control uses diĆ
rect spark to ignite the pilot. The pilot ignites the burners
and the burners crossĆlight. The flame sensor uses flame
rectification to sense pilot ignition. The ignition control reĆ
quires that pilot flame must be sensed before the main gas
valve is allowed to open. Typically, a 2 to 4 second delay
occurs between the pilot ignition and the main valve openĆ
ing. Figure 19 shows the gap between the tip of the elecĆ
trodes and the burner surface. It is important that the gap
be maintained for consistent ignition of pilot flame.

15-Differential Pressure Switch (S64)
(Combustion Air Prove Switch)
G26 series units are equipped with a differential pressure
switch located on the vestibule panel. The switch is conĆ
nected to the combustion air blower housing by means of a
flexible silicon hose. A separate hose connects the presĆ
sure switch to the burner box and the gas valve regulator.
The switch monitors air pressure in the combustion air
blower housing and burner box.
The switch is a singleĆpole singleĆthrow normally open
pressure switch electrically connected in series with the
ignition control. The purpose of the switch is to prevent
burner operation if the combustion air blower is not operatĆ
ing or if sufficient combustion air is not available,
On startĆup, the switch senses that the combustion air blowĆ
er is operating. It closes a circuit to the ignition control when
the difference in pressure across the pressure switch inĆ
creases above 0.2 in. w.c. The pressure sensed by the
-1.0-0.20-0.4-0.6-0.8
switch is relative to the pressure in the burner box. In order
for the furnace to operate, the larger negative must alĆ
ways be on the combustion air blower side of the
switch. If the flue or air inlet become obstructed during opĆ
eration, the switch senses a loss of pressure differential
(drops below 0.20 in. negative w.c.) and opens the circuit to
the ignition control.

Lack of differential usually indicates problems in the intake or
exhaust piping but may indicate problems in the heat exĆ
changer, condenser coil, header boxes, combustion blower or
other components. Generally, if both readings are closer to
zero (figure 24) the unit may have a restricted flue outlet or

fall above the line shown in figure 24.
10- Compare readings to figure 24. Be sure to compare
only like readings (compare startup reading to startup
reading, then compare steady state reading to steady
state reading). Subtract the absolute steady state
readings from one another. This will be the pressure
differential. In order for the furnace to operate, the
larger negative must always be on the combustion
air blower side of the switch
Example - one side of the pressure switch reads .60"
and the other side of the pressure switch reads .10".
Pressure differential is .60" - .10"= .50"
The pressure differential should be greater
than 0.20" W.C.
(49.72Pa).
11- When test is complete, remove thermostat demand
and allow unit to cycle off.
12- Remove draft gauge and Tee. Reinstall pressure
switch sensing hose to left side of pressure switch.
If pressure switch does not close at start up or differential is
less than .20" the following should be checked.
1 - Restriction in exhaust and or intake vent.
2 - Pressure switch lines are routed correctly and for
damage.
3 - Condensate in pressure switch lines.
4 - Wiring of pressure switch to furnace.
5 - Blocked heat exchanger or leak in heat exchanger.
II-PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Make sure unit is installed in accordance with installation
instructions and applicable codes.
A-PVC Joint Cementing Procedure
6 - Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and inĆ
side socket surface of fitting. Cement should be apĆ
plied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take
care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply secĆ
ond 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 pipe 1/4 turn during
assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to distribĆ
ute cement evenly. Once joint is made, PVC may
swell. Hold joint together until bonded (approximately
20 seconds).
NOTE-Assembly should be completed within 20 secĆ
onds 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 indiĆ
cate a defective assembly due to insufficient solvent.
9 - Handle joints carefully and support properly until comĆ
pletely set.
B-Venting Considerations
The thickness of construction through which vent/air intake
pipes may be installed is 24" (610mm) maximum and 3"
(76mm) minimum. If a G26 furnace replaces 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 prodĆ
ucts, the existing vent pipe may be oversized for the single
water heater or other appliance. The vent should be checked
for proper draw with the remaining appliance.
CAUTION
WARNING
DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Fumes from PVC glue
may ignite during system check. Remove spark
plug wire from ignition control before 120V power
is applied. Reconnect wire after two minutes.
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.
3 - Clean and dry surfaces to be joined.
4 - Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of
pipe.
5 - Uniformly apply liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or
ABS cleaner for ABS for at least 5 to 15 seconds to inĆ
side socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to
depth of fitting socket. Remove puddles of primer before
applying cement.

Horizontal runs of exhaust piping must be supported
every 5 ft. (1.52m) using hangers for schedule 40 pipe.
All other pipe must be supported every 3 ft. (.91m).
NOTE - Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to
make sure there are no sags or low spots.
NOTE - Exhaust piping must be insulated with 1/2"
(13mm) Armaflex or equivalent when run through unĆ
heated space. Do not leave any area of exhaust pipe
open to outside air; exterior exhaust must be insulated
with 1/2" (13mm) Armaflex or equivalent.
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 beyond the top or outlet end of the
metal stack.
CAUTION
The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive
pressure and must be completely sealed to preĆ
vent leakage of combustion products into the livĆ
ing space.
Removal of Unit from Common Venting System
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate gas apĆ
pliances, the venting system may be too large to properly
vent the remaining attached appliances. The following test
should be conducted while all appliances (both in operaĆ
tion and those not in operation) are connected to the comĆ
mon venting system. If the venting system has been
installed improperly, corrections must be made as outlined
in the previous section.
1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting sysĆ
tem.
2 - Visually inspect the venting system from proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockĆ
age or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other defiĆ
ciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 - Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and winĆ
dows and all doors between the space in which the apĆ
pliances remaining connected to the common venting
system are located and other spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not conĆ
nected to the common venting system. Turn on any exĆ
haust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exĆ
hausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not
operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampĆ
ers.
4 - Follow the lighting instruction. Place the appliance
being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so
appliance will operate continuously.
5 - Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5
minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of
match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar.
6 - After it has been determined that each appliance reĆ
maining connected to the common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and
any other gasĆburning appliance to their previous
condition of use.
7 - If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the common venting system must be
corrected. The common venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined by
using the appropriate tables in appendix G in the curĆ
rent standards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223-1 in the U.S.A., and the appropriate Category 1
Natural Gas and Propane appliances venting sizing
tables in the current standards of the CAN/
CGA-B149.1 and .2 in the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code in Canada.
Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations
Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally
through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In atĆ
tic or closet installations, vertical termination through the
roof is preferred. Figures 26 through 38 show typical terĆ
minations.
1 - Use recommended piping materials for both intake
and exhaust piping.
2 - Secure all joints, including drain leg, gas tight using
approved primer and cement.
Page 20
Page 21
LENNOXOEMPARTS.COM
3 - Piping diameters should be determined according to
length of pipe run. See vent pipe specifications on
page 6. Locate intake piping upwind (prevailing wind)
from exhaust piping. To avoid re-circulation of exĆ
haust gas on roof terminations, end of exhaust pipe
must be higher than intake pipe.
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.
4 - Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close
together as possible at termination end (refer to ilĆ
lustrations). Maximum separation is 3" (76mm) on
roof terminations and 6" (152mm) on side wall terĆ
minations.
5 - Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. In rooftop applications, a 2" X 1-1/2" reducer for
2" venting, 3" x 2" reducer for 3" venting must be used
on the exhaust piping after it exits the structure to imĆ
prove the velocity of exhaust away from the intake pipĆ
ing.
On roof terminations, the intake piping should termiĆ
nate straight down using two 90 elbows (See figure
26).

NOTE - If winter design temperature is below 32 F (0C), exĆ
haust piping must be insulated with 1/2" (13mm), Armaflex or
equivalent when run through unheated space. Do not leave
any surface area of exhaust pipe open to outside air; exterior
exhaust pipe must be insulated with 1/2" (13mm) Armaflex or
equivalent. In extreme cold climate areas, 3/4" (19mm) ArĆ
maflex or equivalent is recommended. Insulation on outside
runs of exhaust pipe must be painted or wrapped to protect
insulation from deterioration.
NOTE - During extremely cold temperatures, below
approximately 20F (6.67C), units with long runs of vent
pipe through unconditioned space, even when insulated,
may form ice in the exhaust termination that prevents the
unit from operating properly. Longer run times of at least 5
minutes will alleviate most icing problems. Also, a heating
cable may be installed on exhaust piping and termination
to prevent freeze-ups. Heating cable installation kit is
available from Lennox. See Condensate Piping section for
part numbers.
NOTE - Care must be taken to avoid re-circulation of exĆ
haust back into intake pipe.
6 - On field supplied terminations for side wall exits, exĆ
haust piping should extend a minimum of 12"
(305mm) beyond the outside wall. Intake piping
should be as short as possible. See figure 27.

into window wells, stairwells, alcoves, courtyard areas
or other recessed areas. Do not position termination
ends closer than 12" below roof eaves or above a walkĆ
way. Since the G26 is a certified direct vent, Category
IV gas furnace, the location of the termination is limited
by building codes. In the absence of local codes, refer
to the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223-1 in
U.S.A., and current standards CAN/CGA-B149.1 /.2 of
the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Instructions
in Canada for details. The termination should be at
least 12" (305mm) from any opening through which
flue products could enter the building.
Page 22
Page 23
LENNOXOEMPARTS.COM
When horizontally vented, minimum clearance for
termination from electric meters, gas meters, regulaĆ
tors and relief equipment is 4 ft. (1.2m) for US installaĆ
tions. Refer to the current CAN/CGA-B149.1 and .2
for installations in Canada or with authorities having
local jurisdiction.
At vent termination, care must be taken to maintain
protective coatings over building materials (proĆ
longed exposure to exhaust condensate can destroy
protective coatings). It is recommended that the exĆ
haust outlet not be located within 6 feet (1.8m) of a
condensing unit because the condensate can damĆ
age the painted coating.
IMPORTANT
Combustion air intake inlet and exhaust outlet
should not be located within 6 ft. (1.8m) of dryer vent
or combustion air inlet or outlet of another apĆ
pliance. Piping should not exit less than 3 ft. (.91m)
from opening into another building.
10- Suspend piping using hangers at a minimum of every
5 feet (1.52m) for schedule 40 PVC and every 3 feet
(.91m) for ABS-DWV, PVC-DWV, SPR-21 PVC, and
SDR-26 PVC piping. A suitable hanger can be fabriĆ
cated by using metal or plastic strapping or a large
wire tie.
11- 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.
12- Isolate piping at the point where it exits the outside
wall or roof.
13- 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 condenĆ
sate collection trap and lines.
14- Based on the recommendation of the manufacturer, a
multiple furnace installation may use a group of up to
four termination kits WTK assembled together horizonĆ
tally, as shown in figure 35.

Condensate Piping
This unit is designed for either rightĆ or leftĆside exit of conĆ
densate piping. Condensate drain line should be routed
only within the conditioned space to avoid freezing of conĆ
densate and blockage of drain line. An electric heat cable
should be used where condensate drain is exposed to unĆ
conditioned areas. The following procedure is for all G26
units.
1 - Determine which side condensate will exit the unit.
2 - Connect 1/2" (13mm) plastic pipe plug (provided) in
the unused end of the condensate trap. Install plug so
that it is sealed water tight yet able to be removed. Do
not permanently seal the connection. Teflon tape is
recommended to seal joint. See figure 40.

3 - Use the provided adapter (1/2" PVC x 1/2" MPT) and
the nipple (1/2" PVC) to carry drainage outside the
cabinet. If a field substitute is needed, 1/2" CPVC x
1/2" MPT adapter and 1/2" CPVC is acceptable for
use.
4 - Glue nipple to the adapter using the procedures outĆ
lined in the Joint Cementing Procedures" section.
The nipple/adapter assembly should be connected

Condensate Removal Process:
1- Condensate mixed with flue products
exits the coil and enters the cold headĆ
er box.
2- Condensate and flue products are sepaĆ
rated. Flue products are drawn into the
combustion air blower while condensate
is drained into the header box condenĆ
sate trap.
3- Flue products are expelled into the flue.
As flue products travel up and out, they
cool and more condensate is produced.
4- Condensate travels down the walls of
the flue pipe and into drain hose.
5- Water drains down through the flue
drain hose and is emptied into the
header box condensate trap.
6- When the cold header box condensate
trap is full, water begins draining out the
condensate drain pipe.
7- An external condensate trap is not reĆ
quired, but a vent is required. The vent
must extend above the height of the conĆ
denser coil (approx. 1 inch above the top
of the cold header box).

IV-HEATING SYSTEM SERVICE CHECKS
A-A.G.A./C.G.A. Certification
All units are A.G.A. and C.G.A. design certified without
modifications. Refer to the G26 Operation and Installation
Instruction Manual Information.
B-Exhaust CO2 and CO content
Carbon Dioxide is a colorless and odorless gas produced
in small amounts by all furnaces, including the G26, during
combustion process. When the unit is properly installed
and operating normally, the CO2 content of the exhaust is
between 6.0% and 8.0% for natural gas and between
7.5% and 9.5% for L.P. gases. CO content will be less than
0.04% regardless of the gas used. If unit appears to be opĆ
erating normally at or beyond the upper limit of the CO
range, the unit should be checked for abnormally high CO.
Testing for abnormally high CO
One method for testing the CO
ach CO2 test with the Fyrite CO2 indicator. Other methods
of testing CO2/CO are available. Closely follow the instrucĆ
tions included in the test kit you choose. Follow the proceĆ
dure below in order to check CO2/CO on the G26 furnace.
1 - Drill size "R" or 11/32 in. on the exhaust vent, just exitĆ
ing the cabinet and tap 1/8-27 NPT. This hole will be
used to draw your CO2/CO sample.
2 - Install a hose barb connector into test hole.
3 - Attach end of Fyrite sampling tube to hose barb.
4 - Set thermostat to highest setting and allow unit to run
15 minutes.
5 - When CO2/CO testing is complete, turn off unit, reĆ
move hose barb from exhaust vent and use a1/8"
plastic plug to close off port.

and CO.
C-Gas Piping
Gas supply piping should not allow more than 0.5"W.C.
drop in pressure between gas meter and unit. Supply gas
pipe must not be smaller than unit gas connection. See gas
pipe capacity table on page 6 of this manual.
Compounds used on gas piping threaded joints should be
resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gas.
D-Testing Gas Piping
When pressure testing gas lines, the gas valve must be
disconnected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if
subjected to more than 0.5psig (14" W.C.). See figure 44. If
the pressure is equal to or less than 0.5psig (14"W.C.), use
the manual shut-off valve before pressure testing to isoĆ

Do not use matches, candles, flame or any other source of
ignition to check for gas leaks.
E-Testing Gas Supply Pressure
When testing supply gas pressure, connect test gauge to
inlet pressure tap (field provided). See figure 44. Check
gas line pressure with unit firing at maximum rate. Low
pressure may result in erratic operation or underfire. High
pressure can result in permanent damage to gas valve or
overfire. For natural gas units, operating pressure at unit
gas connection must be between 4.5" W.C. and 13.0" W.C.
For L.P. gas units, operating pressure at unit gas connecĆ
tion must be between 8.0" and 13.0" W.C.
On multiple unit installations, each unit should be checked
separately, with and without units operating. Supply presĆ
sure must fall within range listed in previous paragraph.
F-Check Manifold Pressure
Manifold Operating Pressure is the manifold pressure
measured during normal operation (sensing burner box
pressure). Manifold Absolute Pressure is the manifold
pressure measured when the gas valve regulator is operĆ
ating at factory preset level (sensing atmospheric presĆ
sure).
After line pressure has been checked and adjusted, check
manifold absolute pressure. Move pressure gauge to outĆ
let pressure tap located on unit gas valve (GV1). Checks of
manifold absolute pressure are made as verification of propĆ
er regulator adjustment.
Manifold operating pressure for the G26 can be measured at
any time the gas valve is open and is supplying gas to the
unit. Normal manifold operating pressure for natural gas
units is 2.5 to 3.5 in. w.c (see figure 21). For LP/propane gas
the correct manifold operating pressure is 7.5 in. w.c. (see
figure 22).
IMPORTANT
For safety, connect a shutĆoff valve between the
manometer and the gas tap to permit shut off of
gas pressure to the manometer.
IMPORTANT
In case emergency shutdown is required, turn off
the main shutĆoff valve and disconnect the main
power to unit. These controls should be properly
labeled by the installer.
When checking piping connections for gas leaks, use preĆ
ferred means. Kitchen detergents can cause harmful corroĆ
sion on various metals used in gas piping. Use of a specialty
Gas Leak Detector is strongly recommended. It is available
through Lennox under part number 31B2001. See Corp.
8411-L10, for further details.
Page 29
The gas valve is factory set and should not require adjustĆ
ment. See table 9. Also, gas valve regulation varies with
burner box pressure (figures 21 and 22).
*Manifold Absolute Pressure Measurement and AdjustĆ
ment
1 - Connect test gauge to outlet tap on gas valve.
2 - Disconnect pressure sensing hose from gas valve
and plug hose. Leave hose barb on valve open to atĆ
mosphere. See figure 46.
3 - Start unit and allow 5 minutes for unit to reach steady
state.

4 - While waiting for the unit to stabilize, notice the flame.
Flame should be stable and should not lift from burner.
Natural gas should burn blue. L.P. gas should burn
mostly blue with some orange streaks.
5 - After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to values given in
table 9. Regulator cap must be installed when reading
pressures.

NOTE-Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as
an accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to
replace pressure tap plug.
NOTE-During this test procedure, the unit will be
overfiring:
Operate unit only long enough to obtain accurate readĆ
ing to prevent overheating heat exchanger.
Attempts to clock gas valve during this procedure
will be inaccurate. Measure gas flow rate only during
normal unit operation.
6 - When test is complete remove obstruction from hose
and return hose to gas valve barb.
WARNING
Fire and explosion hazard.
These instructions MUST be followed exactly.
Can cause a fire or explosion resulting in property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
G- Proper Gas Flow (Approximate)
Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before checkĆ
ing gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revoluĆ
tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures
a more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time
in table 10 below. Adjust manifold pressure on gas valve
to match time needed.
NOTE- To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other
gas appliances connected to meter.

Manifold pressure should remain the same for both natural
and propane. If unit is installed at an altitude higher than
7500 feet (2248 m), refer to local codes.
NOTE-This is the only permissible field derate for this
appliance.
IMPORTANT
For safety, shut unit off and remove manometer as
soon as an accurate reading has been obtained.
Take care to replace pressure tap plug.
I-Flame Signal
A 20 microamp DC meter is needed to check the flame sigĆ
nal on the SureLight and Johnson G776 ignition control. Use
a flame signal transducer (part number 78H5401) available
from Lennox to measure the flame signal.
Flame (microamp) signal is an electrical current which
passes from the ignition control through the sensor elecĆ
trode during unit operation. Current passes from the senĆ
sor through the flame to ground to complete a safety cirĆ
cuit.
To Measure Flame Signal:
1 - Set the volt meter to the DC voltage scale. Insert transĆ
ducer into the VDC and common inputs. Observe corĆ
rect polarities. Failure to do so results in negative (-)
values.
2 - Turn off supply voltage to control.
3 - Disconnect flame sensor lead from terminal of ignition
control.

V-TYPICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A-Blower Operation and Adjustment
NOTE- The following is a generalized procedure and
does not apply to all thermostat controls.
1 - Blower operation is dependent on thermostat control
system.
2 - Generally, blower operation is set at thermostat subĆ
base fan switch. With fan switch in ON position, blower
operates continuously. With fan switch in AUTO posiĆ
tion, blower cycles with demand or runs continuously
while heating or cooling circuit cycles.
3 - In all cases, blower and entire unit will be off when the
system switch is in OFF position.
B-Temperature Rise
Temperature rise for G26 units depends on unit input,
blower speed, blower horsepower and static pressure as
marked on the unit rating plate. The blower speed must be
set for unit operation within the range of AIR TEMP. RISE
°F" listed on the unit rating plate.
To Measure Temperature Rise:
1 - Place plenum thermometers in the supply and return
air plenums. Locate supply air thermometer in the first
horizontal run of the plenum where it will not pick up raĆ
diant heat from the heat exchanger.
2 - Set thermostat to highest setting.
3 - After plenum thermometers have reached their highĆ
est and steadiest readings, subtract the two readings.
The difference should be in the range listed on the unit
rating plate. If the temperature is too low, decrease
blower speed. If temperature is too high, first check
the firing rate. Provided the firing rate is acceptable, inĆ
crease blower speed to reduce temperature. To
change blower speed taps see the Blower Speed Taps
section in this manual.
C-External Static Pressure
1 - Measure tap locations as shown in figure 48.
2 - Punch a 1/4" diameter hole

end of the manometer to the discharge (supply) side
of the system. On ducted systems, connect the other
end of manometer to the return duct as above. For
systems with non-ducted returns, leave the other end
of the manometer open to the atmosphere.
3 - With only the blower motor running and the evaporator
coil dry, observe the manometer reading. Adjust blowĆ
er motor speed to deliver the air desired according to
the job requirements.
4 - Pressure drop must not exceed 0.5" W.C.
5 - Seal around the hole when the check is complete.

C-Heating Sequence of Operation
1 - When there is a call for heat, W1 of the thermostat enĆ
ergizes W of the furnace control with 24VAC.
2 - S10 primary limit switch and S47 rollout switch are
closed. Call for heat can continue.
3 - Surelight control energizes combustion air blower B6.
Combustion air blower runs until S18 combustion air
prove switch closes (switch must close within 2-1/2
minutes or control goes into 5 minute Watchguard
Pressure Switch delay). Once S18 closes, a 15-secĆ
ond pre-purge follows.
4 - Surelight control energizes ignitor. A 20-second
warm-up period begins.
5 - Gas valve opens for a 4-second trial for ignition.
6 - Flame is sensed, gas valve remains open for the heat
call.
7 - After 45-second delay, Surelight control energizes inĆ
door blower B3.
8 - When heat demand is satisfied, W1 of the indoor therĆ
mostat de-energizes W of the Surelight control which
de-energizes the gas valve. Combustion air blower
B6 continues a 5-second post-purge period, and inĆ
door blower B3 completes a selected OFF time delay.

door interlock switch (S51) to feed the line voltage
side of the blower control (A3) and transformer T1 priĆ
mary. Door interlock switch must be closed for A3 and
T1 to receive voltage.
2Ć T1 supplies 24VAC to terminal 24VAC" on A3. In turn,
terminal R" of A3 supplies 24VAC to terminal RC" of
the indoor thermostat (not shown).
3Ć When there is a call for heat, W1 of the thermostat enĆ
ergizes W of the furnace control with 24VAC.
4Ć CAB of the blower control energizes the combustion
air blower (B6). When the combustion air blower nears
full speed, combustion air prove switch (S18) closes.

5Ć When S18 closes, assuming primary limit (S10) is
closed, the ignition control opens the pilot valve and
begins spark.
6Ć When flame is sensed, spark stops and main valve
opens to light main burners.
7Ć After 45 seconds, blower control (A3) energizes the inĆ
