Carrier 48PG20-28 specifications Installation, Provide Unit Support

Disconnect gas piping from unit when pressure testing at pressure greater than 0.5 psig. Pressures greater than

0.5psig will cause gas valve damage resulting in hazardous condition. If gas valve is subjected to pressure greater than

0.5psig, it must be replaced before use. When pressure testing field-supplied gas piping at pressures of 0.5 psig or less, a unit connected to such piping must be isolated by closing the manual gas valve(s).

IMPORTANT: Units have high ambient operating limits. If limits are exceeded, the units will automatically lock the compressor out of operation. Manual reset will be required to restart the compressor.

INSTALLATION

Step 1 — Provide Unit Support

ROOF CURB — Assemble or install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped with this accessory. See Fig. 1. Install insulation, cant strips, roofing, and counter flash- ing as shown. Ductwork can be installed to roof curb before unit is set in place. Ductwork must be attached to curb and not to the unit. Curb must be level. This is necessary to permit unit drain to function properly. Unit leveling tolerance is ± 1/16 in. per linear ft in any direction. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb In- stallation Instructions for additional information as required. When accessory roof curb is used, unit may be installed on class A, B, or C roof covering material. Carrier roof curb acces- sories are for flat roofs or slab mounting.

IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical for a watertight seal. Install gasket with the roof curb as shown in Fig. 1. Improperly applied gasket can also result in air leaks and poor unit performance. Do not slide unit to position on roof curb.

ALTERNATE UNIT SUPPORT — When a curb cannot be used, install unit on a noncombustible surface. Support unit with sleepers, using unit curb support area. If sleepers cannot be used, support long sides of unit with a minimum of 3 equal- ly spaced 4-in. x 4-in. pads on each side.

SLAB MOUNT (Horizontal Units Only) — Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6 in. beyond unit cab- inet. Install a gravel apron in front of condenser coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage from obstructing airflow.

NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if required.

Step 2 — Remove Shipping Rails — Remove ship- ping rails prior to lowering unit onto roof curb. See Fig. 2. The rails are attached to the unit at both the return end and condens- er end. Remove the screws from both ends of each rail. Be careful not to drop the rails onto any surface that could be damaged. Discard the rails. It is important to replace the screws into the unit to avoid any air or water leakage.

Do not allow the shipping rail to drop on the roof surface. Damage to the roof surface may result.

Step 3 — Rig and Place Unit — Inspect unit for trans- portation damage. See Tables 1-3 for physical data. File any claim with transportation agency.

All panels must be in place when rigging. Unit is not designed for handling by fork truck. Damage to unit may result.

Do not drop unit; keep upright. Use spreader bars over unit to prevent sling or cable damage. Rollers may be used to move unit across a roof. Level by using unit frame as a reference; leveling tolerance is ± 1/16 in. per linear ft in any direction. See Fig. 3 for additional information. Unit rigging weight is shown in Fig. 3.

Four lifting holes are provided in the unit base rails as shown in Fig. 3. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.

POSITIONING — Maintain clearance, per Fig. 4, around and above unit to provide minimum distance from combustible materials, proper airflow, and service access.

Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air inlets near exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated air. For proper unit operation, adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided in accordance with Section 5.3 (Air for Combustion and Ventilation) of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (American National Standards Institute).

Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from higher level runoff and overhangs.

Locate mechanical draft system flue assembly at least 4 ft from any opening through which combustion products could enter the building, and at least 4 ft from any adjacent building (or per local codes). When unit is located adjacent to public walkways, flue assembly must be at least 7 ft above grade.

ROOF MOUNT — Check building codes for weight distribu- tion requirements. Unit operating weight is shown in Table 1.

INSTALLATION ONTO CURB — The 48PG units are de- signed to fit on either the accessory full perimeter curb. Correct placement of the unit onto the curb is critical to operating per- formance. To aid in correct positioning, 3/8-in. diameter locat- ing holes have been added to the unit base rails. When placing the unit, these holes should line up with the roof curb edge as shown in Fig. 5 and 6, to assure proper duct opening alignment. For placement on the roof curb, use the alignment holes located approximately 2-in. from the end of the base rail on the return end of the unit. See labels on the side of the unit for more details.

Do not slide unit to position it when it is sitting on the curb. Curb gasketing material may be damaged and leaks may result.
