Alternate Unit Support (In Lieu Of Curb Or Slab Mount); Step 5 - Field Fabricate Ductwork; For Units With Accessory Electric Heaters; Step 6 - Rig And Place Unit - Bryant 551J*07A/G Series Installation Instructions Manual

Alternate Unit Support
(In Lieu of Curb or Slab Mount) —
A non- - combustible sleeper rail can be used in the unit curb
support area. If sleeper rails cannot be used, support the long
sides of the unit with a minimum of 3 equally spaced 4- - in. x
4- - in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side.
Step 5 — Field Fabricate Ductwork
Cabinet return-air static pressure (a negative condition)
shall not exceed 0.35 in. wg (87 Pa) with economizer or
0.45 in. wg (112 Pa) without economizer.
For vertical ducted applications, secure all ducts to roof curb
and building structure. Do not connect ductwork to unit.
Fabricate supply ductwork so that the cross sectional
dimensions are equal to or greater than the unit supply
duct opening dimensions for the first 18 in. (458 mm) of
duct length from the unit basepan.
Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints,
and roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in
accordance with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through unconditioned spaces must be
insulated and covered with a vapor barrier.
If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return
should be ducted through the roof deck to comply with
applicable fire codes.
CAUTION
!
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage
to roofing materials.
Membrane roofs can be cut by sharp sheet metal
edges. Be careful when placing any sheet metal parts
on such roof.
For Units with Accessory Electric Heaters —
Horizontal applications require a minimum clearance to
combustible surfaces of 1- - in. (25 mm) from duct for first
12- - in. (305 mm) away from unit. Vertical applications do
not require a minimum clearance.
Minimum clearance is not required around ductwork.
Outlet grilles must not lie directly below unit discharge.
WARNING
!
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury.
For vertical supply and return units, tools or parts
could drop into ductwork and cause an injury. Install
a 90- - degree turn in the return ductwork between the
unit and the conditioned space. If a 90- - degree elbow
cannot be installed, then a grille of sufficient strength
and density should be installed to prevent objects
from falling into the
electric heater, supply duct will require 90- - degree
elbow.
Step 6 — Rig and Place Unit
Keep unit upright and do not drop. Spreader bars are not
required if top crating is left on unit. Rollers may be used to
move unit across a roof. Level by using unit frame as a
reference. See Table 1 and Fig. 7 for additional information.
Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig. 7.
Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
Rigging materials under unit (cardboard to prevent base
pan damage) must be removed PRIOR to placing the unit
on the roof curb.
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
1
be tightened with a / - - in. square socket drive extension.

For further details see Step 9 - - Install External
Condensate Trap and Line on page 14.
Before setting the unit onto the curb, recheck gasketing on
curb.
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in
equipment damage.
All panels must be in place when rigging. Unit is not
designed for handling by fork truck when panels or
packaging are removed.
If using top crate as spreader bar, once unit is set,
carefully lower wooden crate off building roof top to
ground. Ensure that no people or obstructions are
below prior to lowering the crate.
