Installation - Carrier 38APS025-065 Installation Instructions Manual

DOMESTIC UNITS — Standard 38AP unit packaging con-
sists of coil protection only. Skids are not provided. If overhead
rigging is not available at the jobsite, place the unit on a skid or
pad before dragging or rolling. When rolling, use a minimum
of 3 rollers. When dragging, pull the pad or skid. Do not apply
force to the unit. When in final position, raise from above to lift
unit off the pad or skid.
EXPORT UNITS — All export units are mounted on skids
with vertical coil protection. Leave the unit on the skid until it
is in final position. While on the skid, the unit can be rolled or
skidded. Apply force to the skid, not to the unit. Use a mini-
mum of 3 rollers when rolling. When in final position, raise
from above to remove the skid.
PLACING UNITS — When considering location of the unit,
be sure to consult National Electrical Code (NEC, U.S.A.) and
local code requirements. Allow sufficient space for airflow,
wiring, piping, and service. The placement area must be level
and strong enough to support the operating weight of the unit.
(See Fig. 2.) When unit is in proper location, use of mounting
holes in base rails is recommended for securing unit to
supporting structure. For mounting unit on vibration isolators,

4 x 24 in. perimeter support ASTM "C" channels between unit
and the isolators are recommended with a minimum of 4 chan-
nels per unit. Fasteners for mounting unit are field supplied.
See Fig. 4.
Refer to Fig. 5-9 for airflow clearances. Recommended
minimum clearances are 6 ft (1829 mm) for unrestricted air-
flow and service on sides of unit, 4 ft (1219 mm) on ends, and
unrestricted clear air space above the unit. Provide ample space
to connect liquid and suction lines to indoor unit. For multiple
units, allow 10 ft (3048 mm) separation between airflow
surfaces. If walls surround the unit, wall height should not ex-
ceed the top of the unit fan discharge. Installation in a pit is not
recommended.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to mount unit level to ensure
proper oil return to compressors.
Refer to Fig. 10 for outdoor fan and compressor layout.
Refer to Fig. 11 and 12 for unit piping installation. See
Table 5 for refrigerant specialties part numbers.
