3. Remove the shipping tape holding the economizer baro-
metric relief damper in place (economizer only).
4. Insert the hood divider between the hood sides. See
Fig. 14 and 15. Secure hood divider with 2 screws on
each hood side. The hood divider is also used as the bot-
tom filter rack for the aluminum filter.
5. Open the filter clips which are located underneath the
hood top. Insert the aluminum filter into the bottom filter
rack (hood divider). Push the filter into position past the
open filter clips. Close the filter clips to lock the filter
into place. See Fig. 15.
6. Caulk the ends of the joint between the unit top panel and
the hood top.
7. Replace the filter access panel.

Step 9 — Install External Condensate Trap and
Line
The unit has one 3 /
4
end of the condensate pan and an alternate connection on the
bottom. See Fig. 16. Unit airflow configuration does not de-
termine which drain connection to use. Either drain connec-
tion can be used with vertical or horizontal applications.
When using the standard side drain connection, ensure the
red plug in the alternate bottom connection is tight. Do this
before setting the unit in place. The red drain pan can be
tightened with a 1 / -in. square socket drive extension.

To use the alternate bottom drain connection, remove the
red drain plug from the bottom connection (use a
square socket drive extension) and install it in the side drain
connection.

The piping for the condensate drain and external trap can
be completed after the unit is in place. See Fig. 17.

NOTE: Trap should be deep enough to offset maximum unit static
difference. A 4-in. (102 mm) trap is recommended.

IMPORTANT: All units must have an external trap for con-
densate drainage. Install a trap at least 4 in. (102 mm) deep
and protect against freeze-up. If drain line is installed
downstream from the external trap, pitch the line away
from the unit at 1 in. per 10 ft (25 mm in 3 m) of run. Do
not use a pipe size smaller than the unit connection (
