CHECK VERTICAL SEPARATION
If there is any vertical separation between the indoor and
outdoor units, check to ensure that the separation is within
allowable limits. Relocate equipment if necessary.

PROVIDE SAFETY RELIEF

If local codes dictate an additional safety relief device, pur-
chase locally and install locally. Installation will require the
recovery of the factory shipping charge before the factory
tubing can be cut and the supplemental relief device is
installed.

REFRIGERANT LINE SIZING

Consider the length of the piping required between the out-
door and indoor units. The maximum allowable line length is
100 ft (30.5 m). See Table 4. Refrigerant vapor piping
should be insulated.

FILTER
DRIERS
INDICATORS
Every unit MUST have bi-directional filter driers in the liquid
lines. Locate the filter driers at the indoor unit, close to the
evaporator coil's thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) inlets.
CHS units include two R-410A-duty filter driers, shipped in
cartons attached to the unit basepan. Remove the filter

driers and prepare to install in the liquid lines at the evapora-
tor coil. Do not remove connection fitting plugs until ready to
connect and braze the filter driers into the liquid line posi-
tions See Table 5.
IMPORTANT: A refrigerant receiver is not provided with
the unit. Do not install a receiver.
Installation of liquid line moisture indicating sight glass in
each circuit is recommended. Locate the sight glass(es) be-
tween the outlet of the filter drier and the TXV inlet.
Refer to Table 6 for recommendations on refrigeration
specialties.
Select the filter drier for maximum unit capacity and mini-
mum pressure drop. Complete the refrigerant piping from
the indoor unit to the outdoor unit before opening the liquid
and suction lines at the outdoor unit.
