Lifting point should be directly over the center of gravity for the unit.

Step 6—Connect Condensate Drain

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

Models 50GS and 50GX dispose of condensate water through a 3/4 in. NPT fitting which exits through the base on the evaporator coil access side. See Fig. 2 & 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. lower than the drainpan condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing (See Fig. 7). When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from the unit.

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. trap.

Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain tube downward at a slope of at least 1-in. for every 10 ft. of horizontal run. Be sure to check the drain tube for leaks. Prime trap at the beginning of the cooling season start-up.

Step 7—Install Duct Connections

The unit has duct flanges on the supply- and return-air openings on the side and bottom of the unit. For downshot applications the ductwork can be connected to the roof curb. See Fig. 2 & 3 for connection sizes and locations.

IMPORTANT: Use flexible connectors between ductwork and unit to prevent transmission of vibration. Use suitable gaskets to ensure weathertight and airtight seal. When electric heat is installed, use fire proof canvas (or similar heat resistant material) connector between ductwork and unit discharge connection. If flexible duct is used, insert a sheet metal sleeve inside duct. Heat resistant duct connector (or sheet metal sleeve) must extend 24-in. from the unit discharge connection flange into the ductwork.
