Bryant 677C--A Connect Condensate Drain, Install Flue Hood, Install Gas Piping

3.Attach a clevis of sufficient strength in the middle of the straps. Adjust the clevis location to ensure unit is lifted level with the ground.

After the unit is placed on the roof curb or mounting pad, remove the top skid.

Step 6 — Connect Condensate Drain

NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to comply with local codes and restrictions.

Model 677C--A disposes of condensate water through a 3/4 in. NPT fitting which exits through the compressor access panel (See Fig. 2 and 3 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 condensate trap at 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 Fig. 6). Prime the trap with water. When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from the unit.

If the installation requires draining the condensate water away from the unit, install a 2-in. (51 mm) trap at the condensate connection to ensure proper drainage (See Fig. 6). Make sure that the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. (25 mm) lower than the drain-pan condensate connection. This prevents the pan from overflowing.

Prime the trap with water. 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 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 Fig. 8).

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 the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1, (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 Fig. 8). Remove the return duct 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.

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 Table 2 and 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 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.

A1/8-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 NFGC 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 in. (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., (12.7 mm) 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 Fig. 7). This drip leg functions as a trap for dirt and condensate.
