Installation Location - Goodman AVPTC42D14 series Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

for electrical wiring connections. Consult all appropriate regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances. When
installing this unit in an area that may become wet (such as crawl spaces), elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-porous
material. In installations that may lead to physical damage (i.e. a garage) it is advised to install a protective barrier to
prevent such damage. Always install units such that a positive slope in condensate line (1/4" per foot) is allowed.
5.5 Horizontal Applications
If installed above a finished living space, a secondary drain pan (as required by many building codes), must be installed
under the entire unit and its condensate drain line must be routed to a location such that the user will see the condensate
discharge.

Installation Location

NOTE: These air handlers are designed for indoor installation only.
The AVPTC**14** product line may be installed in one of the upflow, downflow, horizontal left or horizontal right orientations
as shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5. The unit may be installed in upflow or horizontal left orientation as shipped (refer to specific
sections for more information).
Minor field modifications are necessary to convert to downflow or horizontal
right as indicated in below sections.
6.1 Upflow Installation
No field modifications are mandatory however to obtain maximum effi-
ciency, the horizontal drip shield must be removed.
Drip Shield Removal: Refer to Figure 1, remove the two (2) screws that
secure the drip shield support brackets to the condensate collectors (one
screw per side). Remove the two (2) screws that secure the drip shield to
the drain pan. The drip shield and drip shield brackets may now be re-
moved.
The bottom left drain connection is the primary drain for this application
and condensate drain line must be attached to this drain connection. The
top connection of the three drain connections on the drain pan must re-
main plugged for this application. The bottom right drain connection is for
the secondary drain line (if used).
6.2 Horizontal Left Installation
No field modifications are permissible for this application.
The bottom right drain connection is the
primary drain for this application and
condensate drain line must be attached
to this drain connection. The top con-
nection of the three drain connections
on the drain pan must remain plugged
for this application. The bottom left
drain connection is for the secondary
drain line (if used).
Use condensate management kit if equipment is installed in high humidity condition (for example: 70% or higher).
6.3 Downflow/Horizontal Right Installation
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the downflow application, to pre-
vent coil pan "sweating", a downflow kit (DFK) is available
through your local Goodman distributor. The DFK is not
supplied with the air handler and is required by Goodman
on all downflow installations. See Table 2 for the correct
DFK and follow the instructions provided for installation.
Refer to Figure 6 and 7 for the location of the compo-
nents referenced in the following steps.
1. Before inverting the air handler, remove blower access
panel and coil access panel. The coil access panel and
