Step 2 — Plan for Sequence of Unit Installation

The support method used for this unit will dictate different sequences for the steps of unit installation. For example, on curb-mounted units, some accessories must be installed on the unit before the unit is placed on the curb. Review the following for recommended sequences for installation steps.

Curb-mounted installation —

Install curb

Install field-fabricated ductwork inside curb

Install thru-base service connection fittings (affects curb and unit)

Rig and place unit Remove top skid Install outside air hood Install smoke detector tube Install combustion air hood Install flue hood

Install gas piping

Install condensate line trap and piping Make electrical connections

Install other accessories

Pad-mounted installation —

Prepare pad and unit supports Rig and place unit

Remove duct covers and top skid

Install smoke detector return air sensor tube

Install field-fabricated ductwork at unit duct openings Install outside air hood

Install combustion air hood Install flue hood

Install gas piping

Install condensate line trap and piping Make electrical connections

Install other accessories

Frame-mounted installation —

Frame-mounted applications generally follow the sequence for a curb installation. Adapt as required to suit specific installation plan.

Step 3 — Inspect unit

Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim with transportation agency.

Confirm before installation of unit that voltage, amperage and circuit protection requirements listed on unit data plate agree with power supply provided.

Locate the carton containing the outside air hood parts; see Figs. 5 and 12. Do not remove carton until unit has been rigged and located in final position.

Step 4 — Provide Unit Support

Roof Curb Mount —

Accessory roof curb details and dimensions are shown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8. Assemble and install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped with the curb.

NOTE: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical for a watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with the roof curb as shown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8. Improperly applied gasket can also result in air leaks and poor unit performance.

Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to function properly. Unit leveling tolerances are show in Fig. 9. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation Instructions for additional information as required.

Install insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter flashing as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb and not to the unit. Thru-the-base power connection must be installed before the unit is set on the roof curb. If field-installed thru-the-roof curb gas connections are desired remove knockout in basepan located in the gas section, see Fig. 5 for location. Gas connections and power connections to the unit must be field installed after the unit is installed on the roof curb.

If electric and control wiring is to be routed through the basepan, remove knockouts in basepan located in control box area of access panel; see Fig. 1, 2, or 3 for basepan knockout locations for location. Attach the service connections to the basepan.

Slab Mount (Horizontal Units Only) —

Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6–in. (150 mm) beyond unit cabinet. 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.

Alternate Unit Support (In Lieu of Curb or Slab Mount) —

A non-combustible sleeper rail can be used in the unit curb support area. If sleeper rails cannot be used, support the long sides of the unit with a minimum of 4 equally spaced 4-in. x 4-in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side. Locate pads so that they support the rails. Make sure to avoid the fork openings.
