CODES AND REGULATIONS

General

The GPC & GPH series air conditioners and heat pumps are
designed for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. This series is available
in cooling Capacities of 3 and 5 nominal tons of cooling. Op-
tional field installed heat kits are available in 5, 8,10,15 and

modular homes with existing high-static duct work. The units
can also be easily converted to accommodate a plenum for
normal or low-static applications. The GPC & GPH series

FTC & DOE rating for single phase units. The three phase
units in this series are not covered under the DOE certified
program. The efficiency ratings of these units are a product
of thermal efficiency determined under continuous operating
conditions independent of any installed system.
