WARNING
!
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death and/or property damage.
- -Connect gas pipe to unit using a backup wrench to avoid
damaging gas controls.
- -Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never
test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of
leaks to check all connections. A fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
- -Use proper length of pipe to avoid stress on gas control
manifold.
- -If a flexible connector is required or allowed by authority
having jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at
furnace gas valve and extend a minimum of 2 in. (51 mm)
outside furnace casing.
- -If codes allow a flexible connector, always use a new
connector. Do not use a connector which has previously
serviced another gas appliance.
8. Check
for
gas
leaks
factory- -installed gas lines after all piping connections have
been completed. Use a commercially available soap solution
(or method specified by local codes and/or regulations).
Step 9 — Install Duct Connections
The unit has duct flanges on the supply- - and return- -air openings
on the side and bottom of the unit. For downshot applications, the
ductwork connects to the roof curb (See Fig. 3 and 5 for
connection sizes and locations).

WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before installing or servicing system, always turn off main
power to system and install lockout tag. There may be
more than one disconnect switch.
1. Open all electrical disconnects before starting any service
work.
2. Remove horizontal (metal) duct covers to access vertical
(downflow) discharge duct knockouts in unit basepan. (See
Fig. 10.)
CAUTION
!
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage.
Collect ALL screws that were removed. Do not leave screws
on rooftop as permanent damage to the roof may occur.
3. For single- -phase models only, on the discharge side only,
remove the insulation covering the downshot (plastic)
knockout. Insulation is held in place with aluminum tape.
Please note that large chassis units have 2 pieces of insula-
at
the
field- -installed
and
tion, and only the piece over the downshot knockout needs
to be removed. Discard insulation.
4. To remove the downshot (plastic) knockouts for both sup-
ply and returns, break front and right side connecting tabs
with a screwdriver and hammer. Push cover down to break
rear and left side tabs. These plastic knockouts are held in
place with tabs similar to an electrical knockout. Discard
plastic knockout covers.
5. Set unit on roof curb.
6. Verify that the downshot ducts are aligned with the down-
shot knockout areas.
7. Re- -install horizontal (metal) covers as needed to seal unit.
Ensure opensings are air and watertight.
NOTE: The design and installation of the duct system must be in
accordance with the standards of the NFPA for installation of
nonresidence- -type air conditioning and ventilating systems, NFPA
90A or residence- -type, NFPA 90B; and/or local codes and
ordinances.
Adhere to the following criteria when selecting, sizing, and
installing the duct system:
1. Units are shipped for horizontal duct installation (by
removing duct covers).
2. Select and size ductwork, supply- -air registers, and
return- -air grilles according to American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
recommendations.
3. Use flexible transition between rigid ductwork and unit to
prevent transmission of vibration. The transition may be
screwed or bolted to duct flanges. Use suitable gaskets to
ensure weather tight and airtight seal.
4. All units must have field- -supplied filters or accessory filter
rack installed in the return- -air side of the unit.
Recommended sizes for filters are shown in Table 1.
