Do Locate the Unit, Do not Locate the Unit

Elevate Unit

Accumulation of water and ice in base pan may cause equipment damage.

Elevate unit per local climate and code requirements to provide clearance above estimated snowfall level and ensure adequate drainage of unit. Use snow stand in areas where prolonged freezing temperatures are encountered.

If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached to pad or mounting frame, tie down bolts should be used and fastened through knockouts provided in unit base pan.

Roof Top Installations

Mount on level platform or frame 6 inches above roof surface. Place unit above a load-bearing wall and isolate unit and tubing set from structure. Arrange supporting members to adequately support unit and minimize transmission of vibration to building. Ensure roof structure and anchoring method is adequate for location. Consult local codes governing rooftop applications.

Roof mounted units exposed to winds above 5 mph may require wind baffles to achieve adequate defrost. A sheet metal baffle should be spaced 6-1/2" from the fall of the coil. The height should cover the face of the coil and the length should be 6" from the access panel.

NOTE: Unit must be level to within ± 2/ (± 3/8 in./ft) per

compressor manufacturer specifications.

Clearance Requirements

When installing, allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring, refrigerant piping, and service. For proper airflow, quiet operation and maximum efficiency. Position so water, snow, or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall directly on unit.

DO LOCATE THE UNIT:

!With proper clearances on sides and top of unit

!On a solid, level foundation or pad

!To minimize refrigerant line lengths

DO NOT LOCATE THE UNIT:

!On brick, concrete blocks or unstable surfaces

!Near clothes dryer exhaust vents

!Near sleeping area or near windows

!Under eaves where water, snow or ice can fall directly on the unit

!with clearance less than 2 ft. from a second unit

!with clearance less than 4 ft. on top of unit

Operating Ambient

The minimum outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 55/F, and the maximum outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 125/F. The maximum outdoor operating ambient in heating mode is 66/F.

Indoor Coil Piston Selection

The outdoor heat pump section must be matched to a factory approved indoor section. It is mandatory that the installer ensure that the correct piston is installed in the indoor section. If necessary remove the existing piston and replace it with the correct piston See indoor unit instructions for details of changing the piston. Contact your distributor for accessory piston kits.

Indoor (Cooling) Piston Size

13 SEER Heat Pump Indoor Piston Sizes

Unit Size	Piston Size
18	.055
24	.063
30	.068
36	.076
42	.076
48	.082
60	.098

The evaporator coil may use an expansion valve (TXV) in place of piston.

14 SEER Heat Pump Models

All 14 SEER heat pump models are only rated with TXV on the indoor side.

14 SEER Heat Pump Indoor TXV

Unit Size	TXV Kit
18 thru 36	TXV3
42 thru 48	TXV5

Refrigeration Line Sets

Use only refrigerant grade copper tubes. Split systems may be installed with up to 50 feet of line set (no more than 20 feet vertical) without special consideration (see long line set guidelines).
