DESCRIPTION
The AHV Air Handler line offers the ultimate in comfort, sound
and application flexibility. The air handler is shipped ready to be
installed in upflow, horizontal left or right position, with minor
adjustments. No special kits are required to install this deluxe
product.
Air handlers are shipped with "Flex-coils" without a factory
installed metering device. Flex coil models allow these coils to
be used with R-22 or R-410A for added flexibility to meet refrig-
erant choices. An orifice metering device or a R-410A TXV
should be installed in the field to meet your system require-
ments.

erant control required for today's high efficient product. The
UPG bolt-on TXV provides easy installation to convert the air
handler to the required refrigerant, which is a true bolt-on

drain pans in these units are made of a fiberglass reinforced
thermoset polymer that will not rust or compromise stability at
high temperatures.
