Installation Instructions

1. U U n n p p a a c c k k i i n n g g
Carefully unpack the unit and inspect the contents
for damage. If any damage is found at the time of
delivery, proper notification and claims should be
made with the carrier.
Check the rating plate to assure model number and
voltage, plus any kits match with what you ordered.
The manufacturer should be notified within 5 days
of any discrepancy or parts shortage.
2. L L o o c c a a t t i i o o n n
The air handler should be centrally located and may
be installed in a closet, alcove, utility room,
basement, crawl space or attic. Minimum
clearances must be met.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : The downflow sub-base may be
required with electric heat applications.
See minimum clearance table.
The unit should be installed in a level position to
ensure proper condensation drainage. Up to an
additional 1/4" rise over the width or depth of the
unit is allowed to create additional sloping towards
the drain. Unit must be positioned between level
and ¼" rise, sloping toward the drain connections.
When the unit is installed in a closet or utility room,
the room should be large enough, and have an
opening to allow replacement of the unit. All
servicing is done from the front and a clearance of
21" is needed for service unless the closet door
aligns with the front of the air handler.
If you are installing the unit in an unconditioned
space such as an attic or crawl space, you must
ensure that the area provides sufficient air
circulation to prevent moisture collection on the
cabinet during high dew point conditions. A drain
pan must be installed under the entire unit when it
is installed in or above a finished ceiling or in an
unconditioned space.
3. D D u u c c t t W W o o r r k k
The duct work should be installed in accordance
with the NFPA No. 90A "Installation of Air
Conditioning and Ventilating systems" and No. 90B
"Residential Type Warm Air Heating and Air
Conditioning Installation."
The duct work should be insulated in accordance
with the applicable requirements for the particular
installation as required by HUD, FHA, VA the
applicable building code, local utility or other
governing body.

4. C C o o n n d d e e n n s s a a t t e e D D r r a a i i n n
The unit is supplied with primary and auxiliary
condensate drains that have 3/4" NPT connections.
The primary drain must be trapped outside the unit
and piped in accordance with applicable building
codes.
The figure shows the operation of a properly
designed trap under normal operating conditions
when the blower is running and the condensate is
draining. Note the difference in height of the water
column must at least equal the normal negative
static pressure existing during operation between
the cooling coil and blower. It is advisable to have
the difference in water column height somewhat
greater than the normal maximum operating static
to allow for greater static caused by dirty filters or
for the bounce of the water column on start up.

Proper operation of condensate trap under
normal operating conditions.
"A" height of water column equals
negative static pressure existing in system.
"C" dimension should at least equal two
times the maximum negative static pressure
that can occur in system.
Do not reduce the drain line size less than the
connection size on the drain pan. Condensate
should be piped to an open drain or to the outside.
All drains must pitch downward away from the unit
a minimum of 1/4" per foot of line to ensure proper
drainage.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : If cleanout Tee is used, stand pipe must
be sealed/capped.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : If a vent Tee is used, it must be
downstream from the trap.
