PGR5 Series K: Installation Instructions
Step 6 – Connect Condensate Drain
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to comply
with local codes and restrictions.
This unit disposes of condensate water through a 3/4 in. NPT fitting
which exits through the base on the evaporator coil access side. See
Fig. 3
and
Fig. 4
for location.
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop
installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground level
installations. Install a field-supplied 2-in. (51 mm) condensate trap at the
end of condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that
the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. (25 mm) lower than the drain-pan
condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing (See
Prime the trap with water. When using a gravel apron, make sure it
slopes away from the unit.
1-in. (25 mm) min.
Fig. 7 – Condensate Trap
Connect a drain tube using a minimum of 3/4-in. PVC or 3/4-in. copper
pipe (all field-supplied) at the outlet end of the 2-in. (51 mm) trap. Do
not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain tube downward at a slope of at
least 1-in. (25 mm) for every 10 ft (3.1 m) of horizontal run. Be sure to
check the drain tube for leaks.
Step 7 – Install Flue Hood
The flue assembly is secured and shipped in the return air duct. Remove
duct cover to locate the assembly (See
NOTE: Dedicated low NOx models MUST be installed in California
Air Quality Management Districts where a Low NOx rule exists.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as shipped from
the factory.
NOTE: Low NOx requirements apply only to natural gas installations.
WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
The venting system is designed to ensure proper venting. The flue hood
assembly must be installed as indicted in this section of the unit
installation instructions.
Install the flue hood as follows:
1. This installation must conform with local building codes and with
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC), (in
Canada, CAN/CGA B149.1, and B149.2) latest revision. Refer to
Provincial and local plumbing or wastewater codes and other
applicable local codes.
2. Remove flue hood from shipping location (inside the return section
of the blower compartment-see
cover to locate the flue hood. Place flue hood assembly over flue
panel. Orient screw holes in flue hood with holes in the flue panel.
3. Secure flue hood to flue panel by inserting a single screw on the top
flange and the bottom flange of the hood.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.

Step 8 – Install Gas Piping
The gas supply pipe enters the unit through the access hole provided.
The gas connection to the unit is made to the 1/2-in. (12.7 mm) FPT gas
inlet on the gas valve.
Install a gas supply line that runs to the heating section. Refer to the
NFGC for gas pipe sizing. Do not use cast-iron pipe. It is recommended
that a black iron pipe is used. Check the local utility for
recommendations concerning existing lines. Size gas supply piping for
0.5 IN. W.C. maximum pressure drop. Never use pipe smaller than the
1/2-in. (12.7 mm) FPT gas inlet on the unit gas valve.
For natural gas applications, the gas pressure at unit gas connection must
7).
not be less than 4.0 IN. W.C. or greater than 13 IN. W.C. while the unit is
operating. For propane applications, the gas pressure must not be less
than 11.0 IN. W.C. or greater than 13 IN. W.C. at the unit connection.
A 1/8-in. (3.2 mm) NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge
connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the gas valve.
When installing the gas supply line, observe local codes pertaining to
gas pipe installations. Refer to the NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 latest edition
(in Canada, CAN/CGA B149.1).
NOTE: In the state of Massachusetts:
1. Gas supply connections MUST be performed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter.
2. When flexible connectors are used, the maximum length shall not
exceed 36 inches (915 mm).
3. When lever handle type manual equipment shutoff valves are used,
they shall be T-handle valves.
4. The use of copper tubing for gas piping is NOT approved by the
state of Massachusetts.
In the absence of local building codes, adhere to the following pertinent
recommendations:
1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade all pipe 1/4 in. (6.35
mm) for every 15 ft (4.6 m) of length to prevent traps. Grade all
horizontal runs downward to risers. Use risers to connect to heating
section and to meter.
2. Protect all segments of piping system against physical and thermal
damage. Support all piping with appropriate straps, hangers, etc.
Use a minimum of one hanger every 6 ft (1.8 m). For pipe sizes
larger than 1/2 in., follow recommendations of national codes.
3. Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only to male
threads of joint when making pipe connections. Use only pipe dope
that is resistant to action of liquefied petroleum gases as specified
by local and/or national codes. Never use Teflon tape.
4. Install sediment trap in riser leading to heating section (See
This drip leg functions as a trap for dirt and condensate.
5. Install an accessible, external, manual main shutoff valve in gas
supply pipe within 6 ft (1.8 m) of heating section.
6. Install ground-joint union close to heating section between unit
manual shutoff and external manual main shut-off valve.
7. Pressure test all gas piping in accordance with local and national
plumbing and gas codes before connecting piping to unit.
