G61MPVT Gas Furnace
The G61MPVT gas furnace is equipped with a two−stage,
variable speed integrated control. This control ensures
compatibility with a thermostat which provides humidity
control. Each G61MPVT is shipped ready for installation
in the upflow, downflow, horizontal left air discharge or
horizontal right air discharge position. The furnace is
shipped with the bottom panel in place. The bottom panel
must be removed if the unit is to be installed in upflow applications with bottom return air. The bottom panel must
also be removed and discarded in all downflow or horizontal applications.
The furnace is equipped for installation in natural gas applications. A conversion kit (ordered separately) is required for use in propane/LP gas applications.
All G61MPVT models can be installed as a Direct Vent
gas central furnace. G61MPVT−070, −090 and −110 models can be installed as a Non−Direct Vent gas central furnace.
NOTE − In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken
from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. In
Non−Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from
indoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. See figure

Installation − Setting Equipment
WARNING
Do not install the furnace on its front or its back. Do
not connect the return air ducts to the back of the furnace. Doing so will adversely affect the operation of
the safety control devices, which could result in personal injury or death.
Upflow Applications
The G61MPVT gas furnace can be installed as shipped
in the upflow position. Refer to figure 3 for clearances.
Installation Clearances
Top
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection,
condensate trap and drain connections, and installation
and service clearances [610 mm (24 inches) at unit
front]. The unit must be level from front to back and side
to side.
NOTE − G61MPVT−36B units with 1/2 hp blower motors are
equipped with three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid
leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic
washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used
with a flexible mounting leg). The bolt and washer must
be removed before the furnace is placed into operation. After the bolt and washer have been removed, the rig-
id leg will not touch the blower housing.
NOTE − G61MPVT−60D−135 units are equipped with a
shipping pad under the blower housing. Remove the shipping pad prior to operation.
Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated
on the unit nameplate. Minimum clearances for closet or alcove installations are shown in figures 3, 9 and 6.
WARNING
Blower access panel must be securely in place when
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into
living space resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in personal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system
or air in the living space. Use sheet metal screws and
joint tape to seal return air system to furnace.
In platform installations with furnace return, the furnace should be sealed airtight to the return air plenum. A door must never be used as a portion of the
return air duct system. The base must provide a
stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Allow absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
For no reason should return and supply air duct systems ever be connected to or from other heating devices such as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury
and/or property damage could result.

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards to size and install the
supply and return air duct system. This will result in a quiet
and low-static system that has uniform air distribution.
NOTE − Operation of this furnace in heating mode (indoor
blower operating at selected heating speed) with an external static pressure which exceeds 200 Pa (0.8 inches w.c.)
may result in erratic limit operation.
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
(either by smoke or reflected light) of the heat exchanger
for leaks after the furnace is installed. If present, this 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
Return air must not be drawn from a room where this
furnace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heater), 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
Page 9
Page 10
into the room. This reverse flow of the flue gas may result
in incomplete combustion and the formation of carbon
monoxide gas. This toxic gas might then be distributed
throughout the house by the furnace duct system.
Return air can be brought in through the bottom or either
side of the furnace. If a furnace with bottom return air is
installed on a platform, make an airtight seal between the
bottom of the furnace and the platform to ensure that the
unit operates properly and safely. 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.

Vent Piping Guidelines
G61MPVT furnaces, with the exception of the
G61MPVT−60D−135, can be installed as either a Non−Direct Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace. The
G61MPVT−60D−135 can only be installed as a Direct
Vent (two pipe) gas central furnace.
NOTE − In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is
taken from indoors 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 in Direct Vent applications
and exhaust pipe sizing in Non-Direct Vent applications −−
Size pipe according to tables 5 and 6. Table 5 lists the minimum equivalent vent pipe lengths permitted. Table 6 liststhe maximum equivalent pipe lengths permitted.
Maximum vent length is defined as:
Total length (linear meters) of pipe,
Plus Equivalent length (meters) of fittings,
Plus Equivalent length (meters) of termination.
NOTE − Include ALL pipe and ALL fittings, both in
doors and outdoors.
Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof
and wall terminations described in section Exhaust PipingTerminations 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 7.
NOTE − The exhaust pipe should be offset a minimum of
305mm (12 inches) to avoid the possibility of water droplets
being released from the exhaust termination. The minimum exhaust vent length is 4.5m (15 feet). Shorter exhaust
vent lengths may result in the discharge of water droplets
from the exhaust termination, in spite of the 305mm
(12−inch) vertical offset.
Each 90° elbow (including those provided with the furnace)
of any diameter is equivalent to 1.5m (5 feet ) of vent pipe of
the same diameter. Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one
90° elbow of the same diameter. One 45° elbow is equal to
.76m (2.5 feet) of vent pipe of the same diameter.
In some applications which permit the use of several different sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be
used. Contact Lennox for assistance in sizing vent pipe in
these applications.
NOTE − The flue collar on all models is sized to accommodate 50mm Schedule 40 / Class 12 / Class E pressure
pipe. When vent pipe which is larger than 50mm must be
used in an upflow application, a 50mm elbow must be applied at the flue collar in order to properly transition to the
larger diameter flue pipe. This elbow must be added to
the elbow count used to determine acceptable vent
lengths. Assign an equivalent meter value to this elbow
according to the larger size pipe being used. Contact
Lennox for more information concerning sizing of vent
systems which include multiple pipe sizes.

Use the following steps to correctly size vent pipe diameter.
Refer to Vent Pipe Size Determination Worksheet on
page 52.
1 − Determine the vent termination and its corresponding
equivalent meter value per table 6.
2 − Determine the number of 90° elbows required for both
indoor and outdoor use. Calculate the corresponding
equivalent meters of vent pipe.
3 − Determine the number of 45° elbows required for both
indoor and outdoor use. Calculate the corresponding
equivalent meters of vent pipe.
4 − Determine the length of straight pipe required.
5 − Add the total equivalent meters calculated in steps 1
through 4 and compare that length to the maximum
values given in table 6 for the proposed vent pipe diameter. If the total equivalent length required exceeds
the maximum equivalent length listed in the appropriate table, evaluate the next larger size pipe.

Joint Cementing Procedure
All cementing of joints should be done according to the
relevant local authority.
WARNING
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.
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 to 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 in-
side 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 pipe 1/4 turn during assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to distribute
cement evenly.
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 a defective assembly due to insufficient solvent.
9 − Handle joints carefully until completely set.

Venting Practices
1 − Use recommended piping materials for exhaust piping
(Class E / Class 12 / Schedule 40).
2 − Secure all joints so that they are gas-tight using ap-
proved cement.
downflow positions. Exhaust piping exits from the top
of the unit in horizontal air discharge applications.
Glue the field−provided exhaust vent pipe (or provided
street ell or reducing ell in upflow or downflow applications) to the flue collar. Refer to pipe and fittings specifications and gluing procedures.
Suspend piping using hangers at a minimum of every
1.52m (5 feet) for Schedule
40 vent pipe. A suitable
hanger can be fabricated
by using metal or plastic
strapping or a large wire tie.
3 − 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.
4 − Isolate piping at the point where it exits the outside wall
or roof in order to prevent transmission of vibration to
the structure.
5 − 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.
Exhaust Piping (Figures 15 and 16)
NOTE − Two 50mm diameter street ells and two 80mm to
50mm reducers are contained in a bag assembly
strapped to the blower deck of 60C−110 and 60D−135
units. The street ells must be
flue collar. See figure 15. The 80mm to 50mm reducers
must be glued to the street ells in upflow or downflow
applications.
1 − Choose the appropriate side for venting in upflow or
glued directly into the unit
STRAPPING
(metal, plastic
or large wire
ties)
FIGURE 14
IMPORTANT
Exhaust piping and condensate trap must be
installed on the same side of the unit in upflow and
dowflow applications.
2 − All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope back to-
ward unit. A minimum of 6mm (1/4") drop for each
305mm (12 inches) of horizontal run is mandatory for
drainage. Horizontal runs of exhaust piping must be supported every 1.5m (5 feet) using hangers.
NOTE − Exhaust piping should be checked carefully to
make sure there are no sags or low spots.
3 − On the opposite side of the cabinet, glue the provided
50mm vent plug into the unused flue collar.
4 − Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in piping termination section.
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.

G61MPVT furnaces, with the exception of the
G61MPVT−60D−135, can be installed as either a Non−Direct Vent or a Direct Vent gas central furnace. The
G61MPVT−60D−135 can only be installed as a Direct
Vent (two pipe) gas central furnace. In non−direct vent ap-
plications, when intake air will be drawn into the furnace
from the surrounding space, the indoor air quality must be
considered and guidelines listed in Combustion, Dilution
and Ventilation Air section must be followed.
The G61MPVT unit is designed for either left−side or right−
side air intake connections in either upflow or downflow applications. In horizontal applications, air intake must be
brought in through the top. Intake air piping is independent
of exhaust piping.
Follow the next four steps when installing the unit in directvent applications, where combustion air is taken from
outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.
1 − Cement intake piping in slip connector located on the
side of the burner box.
2 − Use a sheet metal screw to secure the intake pipe to
the connector, if desired. A pilot indentation is provided in the slip connector to assist in locating and
starting the fastener.
3 − Glue the provided 50mm plug into the unused air intake
connector on the opposite side of the cabinet.
4 − Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with
installation following instructions given in general
guide lines for piping terminations and in intake and
exhaust piping terminations for direct vent sections.

Testing for Proper Venting and Sufficient Combustion Air
(Non−Direct Vent Applications Only)
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each
appliance connected to the venting system being
placed into operation could result in carbon 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.
After the G61MPVT gas furnace has been started, the following test should be conducted to ensure proper venting
and sufficient combustion air has been provided to the
G61MPVT, as well as to other gas-fired appliances which
are separately vented. The test should be conducted
while all appliances (both in operation and those not in operation) are connected to the venting system being tested.
Page 16
Page 17
If the venting system has been installed improperly, or if
provisions have not been made for sufficient amounts of
combustion air, corrections must be made as outlined in
the previous section.
1 − Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2 − Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch. Determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 − To the extent that it is practical, close all building doors
and windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances connected to the venting system are lo-
cated and other spaces of the building.
4 − Close fireplace dampers.
5 − Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not con-
nected to the 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.
6 − Follow the lighting instruction to place the appliance
being inspected into operation. Adjust thermostat so
appliance will operate continuously.
7 − Test for spillage of flue gases at the draft hood relief
opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the flame of match or candle, or smoke from a ciga-
rette, cigar.
8 − If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the venting system must be corrected or
sufficient combustion/make-up air must be provided.
9 − After determining that each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system properly
vents when tested as indicated in step 3, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers
and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous
condition of use.
General Guidelines for Vent Terminations for Non-Direct
Vent Installations.
In Non-Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken
from indoors and the flue gases are discharged to the outdoors. The G61MPVT is then classified as a non-direct
vent gas furnace. In Non-Direct Vent applications, the
vent termination is limited by local building codes.
Position termination end according to location given in figure 21. In addition, position termination end so it is free
from any obstructions and above the level of snow accumulation (where applicable). The termination should be at
least 305mm (12 inches) from any opening through which
flue products could enter the building.
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 1.8m (6 feet) of a condensing unit because
the condensate can damage the painted coating.
NOTE − If winter design temperature is below 0°C (32°F),
exhaust piping should be insulated with 13mm (1/2 inch),
Armaflex or equivalent when run through unheated space.
Do not leave any surface area of exhaust pipe open to outside air; exterior exhaust pipe should be insulated with
13mm (1/2 inch) Armaflex or equivalent. In extreme cold
climate areas, 19mm (3/4 inch) Armaflex or equivalent may
be necessary. Insulation on outside runs of exhaust pipe
must be painted or wrapped to protect insulation from deterioration. Exhaust pipe insulation may not be necessary in
some specific applications.
NOTE − During extremely cold temperatures, below
approximately −6.7°C (20°F), 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.

FIGURE 21
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 attic or closet installations, vertical termination through the
roof is preferred. Figures 22 through 25 show typical terminations.
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.
2 − Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close
together as possible at termination end (refer to illustrations). Maximum separation is 76mm (3 inches)
on roof terminations and 152mm (6 inches) on side
wall terminations.
E − Clearance to non−mechanical air supply inlet or outlet −
300mm minimum horizontal and 1000mm minimum vertically for appliances up to 150Mj/h;
F − Clearance to mechanical air supply inlet including a spa
blower −− 1000mm minimum.
G − Do not point terminations into recessed areas such as win-
dow wells, stairwells or alcoves.
H − Do not position terminations directly above a walkway.
3 − If necessary, install a field−provided transition 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
22).
5 − Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as
shown. In rooftop applications, 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 7.
NOTE − Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of
exhaust back into intake pipe.
6 − On field supplied terminations for side wall exits, ex-
haust piping should extend a maximum of 305mm (12
inches) beyond the outside wall unless supported. Intake piping should be as short as possible.
Page 18
Page 19
7 − On field supplied terminations, a minimum separation
distance between the end of the exhaust pipe and the
end of the intake pipe is 203mm (8 inches).

3 − Glue the field−provided coupling or pipe to the trap.
Install a tee and vent pipe near the trap.
NOTE − The condensate trap drain stubs (both sides)
have an outer diameter which will accept a standard
19mm (3/4") PVC coupling. The inner diameter of
each stub will accept standard 13mm (1/2") diameter
PVC pipe.
NOTE − Vinyl tubing may be used for condensate
drain. Tubing must be 32mmOD X 25mm ID (1−1/4"
OD X 1" ID) and should be attached to the drain stubs
on the trap using a hose clamp.
4 − Glue the field−provided drain line to the tee. Route the
drain line to an open drain. As an alternate, clear vinyl
tubing may be used to drain condensate away from
the trap. Secure the vinyl tubing to the drain stubs on
the trap using a hose clamp. Do not overtighten the
hose clamp.
Condensate line must be sloped downward away from
condensate trap to drain. If drain level is above condensate trap, condensate pump must be used.

FIGURE 26
1 − Determine which side condensate piping will exit the
unit. Remove plugs from the condensate collar at the
appropriate location on the side of the unit.
NOTE − The condensate trap is factory−shipped
with two rubber O−rings and two rubber clean−out
caps installed. Check to make sure that these
items are in place before installing the trap assembly.
2 − Install condensate trap onto the condensate collar.
Use provided HI/LO screws to secure two upper
flanges of the trap to the collar. Use provided sheet
metal screw to secure bottom trap flange to side of
unit. See figure 27.
NOTE − In upflow and downflow applications, condensate trap must be installed on the same side as
exhaust piping.
CAUTION
Donot use copper tubing or existing copper
condensate lines for drain line.

Gas Piping
CAUTION
DO NOT over−tighten when attaching pipe or fittings
to gas valve. Damage may occur.
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
figures 29 and 30.
2 − When connecting gas supply, factors such as length of
run, number of fittings and furnace rating must be con-
sidered to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 8 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 eleva-
tor shafts. Center gas line through piping hole. Gas
line should not touch side of unit. See figures 29 and
30.
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, ev-
ery 2.44 to 3.05m (8 to 10 feet), 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 34.
6 − In some localities, codes may require installation of a
manual main shut-off valve and union (furnished by in-
staller) external to the unit. Union must be of the
ground joint type.

Leak Check
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping
connections (factory− and field−installed) for gas leaks. Use
a leak detecting solution or other preferred means.
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures lessthan or equal to 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).
IMPORTANT
When testing gas lines using pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (3.48 kPa), gas valve must be disconnected
and isolated. See figure 28. Gas valves can be damaged if subjected to pressures greater than 1/2 psig
(3.48 kPa).
WARNING
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.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
IMPORTANT
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping
must be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gases.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
5 − Electrically ground the unit according to local codes.
NOTE − The G61MPVT furnace contains electronic
components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that
the furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
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 discharge by putting the furnace, the control and the technician at the same
electrostatic potential. Neutralize electrostatic
charge by touching hand and all tools on an unpainted unit surface, such as the gas valve or blower
deck, before performing any service procedure.
A power wiring harness is shipped with each G61MPVT
furnace. An IEC receptacle is provided on the right side of
the unit. Plug the harness into the IEC receptacle and into a
properly sized wall plug.
Refer to figure 31 and table 9 for field wiring and figure 32
for schematic wiring diagram and troubleshooting.
1 − Ensure that power connection point is located with 2m
of furnace.
2 − Holes are on both sides of the furnace cabinet to facili-
tate thermostat wiring.
3 − Before connecting the thermostat 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.
4 − Complete the wiring connections to the equipment.
Use the provided unit wiring diagram and the field wiring diagram shown in figure 31 and table 9. Use
18−gauge wire or larger that is suitable for Class II rating for thermostat connections.
6 − One line voltage EAC" spade terminal is provided on
the furnace control board. Any electronic air cleaner
rated up to one amp can be connected to this terminal
with the neutral leg of the circuit being connected to
one of the provided neutral terminals. See figure 33 for
control board configuration. This terminal is energized
when the indoor blower is operating.
7 − One line voltage HUM" spade terminal is provided on
the furnace control board. Any humidifier rated up to
one amp can be connected to this terminal with the
neutral leg of the circuit being connected to one of the
provided neutral terminals. See figure 33 for control
board configuration. This terminal is energized in the
heating mode when the combustion air inducer is operating.
8 − Install the room thermostat according to the instruc-
tions provided with the thermostat. See table 9 for thermostat connections. If the furnace is being matched
with a heat pump, refer to the instruction packaged with
the dual fuel thermostat.
Indoor Blower Speeds
1 − When the thermostat is set to FAN ON," the indoor
blower will run continuously at approximately 38% of
the second−stage cooling speed when there is no cooling or heating demand.
2 − When the G61MPVT is running in the heating mode,
the indoor blower will run on the heating speed designated by the positions of DIP switches 7 and 8.
3 − When there is a cooling demand, the indoor blower will
run on the cooling speed designated by the positions
of DIP switches 3 and 4.

G61MPVT 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.
Heat Staging Jumper
The heat staging jumper is factory−positioned in the
NONE position for use with a two−stage thermostat. If a
single−stage thermostat is to be used, the jumper must be
repositioned.
When the G61MPVT unit is used with single−stage thermostat −− The heat staging jumper is used to determine the
second stage on delay. The jumper may be positioned to
provide either a 10−minute or a 15−minute delay before second−stage heat is initiated.
Blower−Off Delay Jumper −− The heating mode blower−on
delay of 45 seconds is not adjustable. The heating mode
blower−off delay (time that the blower operates after the
heating demand has been satisfied) can be adjusted by
moving blower−off delay jumper on the integrated control
board. 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 32° and 43°C (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. Settings of 60, 90,
120 and 180 seconds are available.

On−Board Jumper W914
On−board jumper W914, which connects terminals DS and
R on the integrated control board, must be cut when the furnace is installed with a thermostat which features humidity
control.
On−Board Jumper W951
On−board jumper W951, which connects terminals R and O
on the integrated control board, 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
jumper is left intact, terminal O" will remain energized eliminating the HEAT MODE in the heat pump.
On−Board Jumper W915
On−board jumper W915, which connects terminals Y1 and
Y2 on the integrated control board, must be cut if two−stage
cooling will be used. If the jumper is not cut the outdoor unit
will operate in first−stage cooling only.
Status LEDs (HI/LO, CFM, ANI)
The green HI/LO LED indicates circulating blower speed in
response to the DS signal. The LED is lit during normal
blower operation and is off during a dehumidification demand.
The green CFM LED indicates the blower air flow. Count
the number of blinks between the two−second pauses to
determine the airf low. Each blink represents approximately 50 L/s (100CFM).
The red ANI LED flashes diagnostic codes, which are detailed on page 43.

WARNING
Danger of explosion. Can cause injury
or product or property damage. Should
the gas supply fail to shut off or if
overheating occurs, shut off the gas
valve to the furnace before shutting off
the electrical supply.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or maintenance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at disconnect switch.
Priming Condensate Trap
The condensate trap should be primed with water prior to
start−up to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either
pour 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow
these steps to prime the trap:
1 − Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into op-
eration.
2 − Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand.
3 − Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
4 − Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de-
mand.
5 − Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the
thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
6 − Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de-
mand and again wait for the combustion air inducer to
stop. At this point, the trap should be primed with sufficient water to ensure proper condensate drain operation.
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the furnace area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,

Electronic Ignition
The integrated control has an added feature of an internal
Watchguard control. The feature serves as an automatic reset device for ignition control lockout caused by ignition failure. This type of lockout is usually due to low gas line pressure. 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
begin the ignition sequence.
Exhaust and Air Intake Pipe
1 − Check exhaust and air intake connections for tightness
and to make sure there is no blockage.
2 − Are pressure switches closed? Obstructed exhaust
pipe will cause unit to shut off at pressure switches.
Check exhaust pipe and termination for blockages.
3 − Reset manual flame rollout switches on burner box
cover.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:
1 − Is the thermostat calling for heat?
2 − Are access panels securely in place?
3 − Is the main disconnect switch closed?
4 − Is there a blown fuse?
Page 36

Heating Sequence of Operation
NOTE − The heat staging jumper on the control board is
factory−set in the NONE (or no delay) position.
Applications Using a Two−Stage Thermostat
A − Heating Sequence −− Control Board Heat Staging
Jumper in NONE Position (Factory Setting)
1 − On a call for heat, thermostat first−stage contacts close
sending a signal to the integrated control. The integrated control runs a self-diagnostic program and
checks high temperature limit switches for normally
closed contacts and pressure switches for normally
open contacts.The combustion air inducer is energized at low speed and the humidifier terminal is energized.
2 − Once the control receives a signal that the low pres-
sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer begins a 15−second pre−purge in low speed.
3 − After the pre−purge is complete, a 20−second initial ig-
nitor warm−up period begins. The combustion air inducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 − After the 20−second warm−up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition occurs. At the same time, the control module sends a signal to begin an indoor blower 45−second ON−delay.
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is energized on the low fire heating speed. The furnace will
continue this operation as long as the thermostat has
a first−stage heating demand.
5 − If second−stage heat is required, the thermostat sec-
ond−stage heat contacts close and send a signal to the
integrated control.
6 − The integrated control energizes the combustion air
inducer at high speed. The control also checks the
high−fire (second stage) pressure switch to make sure
it is closed. Once the the control receives a signal that
the high−fire pressure switch is close, the high−fire
(second stage) gas valve is energized and the indoor
blower motor is energized for operation at the high−fire
heating speed.
7 − When the demand for high−fire (second stage) heat is
satisfied, the combustion air inducer is switched to the
low−fire heating speed and the high−fire (second
stage) gas valve is de−energized. The low−fire (first
stage) gas valve continues operation. The indoor
blower motor is switched to the low−fire heating speed.
8 − When the thermostat demand for low−fire (first stage)
heat is satisfied, the gas valve is de−energized and the
field−selected indoor blower off delay begins. The
combustion air inducer begins a 5−second post−purge
period.
9 − When the combustion air post−purge period is com-
plete, the inducer and humidifier terminal are de−energized. The indoor blower is de−energized at the end of
the off delay.

3 − After the pre−purge is complete, a 20−second initial ig-
nitor warm−up period begins. The combustion air inducer continues to operate at low speed.
4 − After the 20−second warm−up period has ended, the gas
valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition occurs. At the same time, the control module sends a signal to begin an indoor blower 45−second ON−delay.
When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is energized on the low−fire heating speed. The integrated
control also initiates a second−stage on delay of either
10 minutes or 15 minutes.
5 − If the heating demand continues beyond the second−
stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the
combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also
checks the high−fire (second stage) pressure switch to
make sure it is closed. Once the control receives a signal the high−fire pressure switch is closed, the high−fire
(second stage) gas valve is energized and the indoor
blower motor is energized for operation at the high−fire
heating speed.
6 − When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, the-
combustion air inducer begins a 5−second post−purge.
The field−selected indoor blower off delay begins.
7 − When the combustion air post−purge period is com-
plete, the inducer and humidifier terminal are de−energized. The indoor blower is de−energized at the end of
the off delay.

Requirements
Use only the type of gas approved for use with this furnace.
Refer to unit nameplate.
G61MPVT units are certified for installation clearances to
combustible material as listed on the unit nameplate and in
the tables in figures 3, 9 and 6. Accessibility and service
clearances must take precedence over fire protection clearances.
NOTE − For installation on combustible floors, the furnace
shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material other than wood flooring.
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must
be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source
are located no less than 457mm (18 inches) above the
floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid
physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed
in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed according to recommended good practice requirements and current National Fuel Gas Code or AS 5601 standard.
NOTE − Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature
rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate. Failure
to do so may cause erratic limit operation.
This G61MPVT furnace must be installed so that its electrical components are protected from water.
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be
installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.
With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other means
to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent chilled air
from entering the furnace. If the damper is manually operated, it must be equipped to prevent operation of either the
heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full HEAT orCOOL setting.
When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes.
NOTE − This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous return air temperature of 16°C (60°F) or an intermittent operation down to 13°C (55°F) dry bulb for cases
where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature must not exceed 29°C (85°F) dry bulb.
The G61MPVT furnace may be installed in alcoves, closets, attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms. This furnace design has not been certified for installation in mobile
homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check all
connections using a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for leak detection.
Lennox does not recommend the use of G61MPVT units as
a construction heater during any phase of construction.
Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and operation of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will damage the unit.
G61MPVT units may be used for heating of buildings or
structures under construction, if the following conditions
are met:
D The vent system must be permanently installed per
these installation instructions.
D A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of
fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not
allowed.
D The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the
furnace.
D Return air temperature range between 16°C (60°F) and
27°C (80°F) must be maintained.
D Air filters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
D Air filters must be replaced upon construction comple-
tion.
D The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the
furnace rating plate.
D One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro-
vided for combustion air requirements during construction. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the
furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace.
Size the temporary duct following these instructions in
section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a
confined space with air from outside.
D The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,
air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following final construction clean−up.
D All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in-
put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified
according to these installation instructions.
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 G61MPVT 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.
Page 40
Page 41
• 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.
CAUTION
G61MPVT unit should not be installed in areas normally subject to freezing temperatures.

Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air
If the G61MPVT 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 and flue gases are discharged out−
doors.
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 combus−
tion, 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 po−
tentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combus−
tion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in
this section to install G61MPVT furnaces to ensure efficient and safe operation. You must consider combustion
air needs and requirements for exhaust vents and gas
piping. 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 Australia, refer to the standard AS 5601−2004 Gas
Installation Code.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventilation air requirements, as well as all local codes.
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
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.
Page 41
Page 42
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 1.42 m
per .29 kW (50 cubic feet per 1,000Btu) 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 1.42 m
per .29 kW (50 cubic feet per 1,000Btu) per hour of the com−
bined 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
645 mm
2
per .29 kW (1 square inch per 1,000Btu) per hour
of total input rating of all gas−fired equipment in the confined space. Each opening must be at least 64516 mm

(12 inches) of the top of the enclosure and one opening
within 305 mm (12 inches) of the bottom.

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.

TOTAL
If the total is equal to, or less than, the allowable maximum given in table 6, the proposed pipe size is acceptable. If the
total exceeds the maximum allowed vent pipe length, repeat the process above using the next larger diameter pipe until
an acceptable total is achieved.
NOTE − In Direct Vent systems, total the equivalent length of either the exhaust OR intake piping run, depending upon which
will be LONGER. Intake and exhaust pipe diameter must be the same size and must be terminated in the same pressure
zone. Intake and exhaust pipe should be roughly the same length.
