NOTE: Trap should be deep enough to offset maximum unit static difference. A 4” (102) trap is recommended.

Fig. 25 - Condensate Drain Piping Details

All units must have an external trap for condensate drainage. Install a trap at least 4-in. (102 mm) deep and protect against freeze-up. If drain line is installed downstream from the external trap, pitch the line away from the unit at 1-in. per 10 ft (25 mm in 3 m) of run. Do not use a pipe size smaller than the unit connection (3/4-in.).

Step 12 — Make Electrical Connections

!WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground. Unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken electrical ground to minimize the possibility of personal injury if an electrical fault should occur. This ground may consist of electrical wire connected to unit ground lug in control compartment, or conduit approved for electrical ground when installed in accordance with NEC (National Electrical Code); ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition (in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code CSA [Canadian Standards Association] C22.1), and local electrical codes.

NOTE: Field-supplied wiring shall conform with the limitations of minimum 63_F (33_C) rise.

Field Power Supply —

For those units without through-the-curb power, conduit must be used to route the main power from the condenser end, via the power entry in the corner post of the unit (see Figs. 26 and 27) to either the factory option disconnect or the bottom of the control box. 1” conduit is provided wrapped around compressor. A second conduit is provided with factory installed powered convenience outlet. For those units that require conduit larger than 1”, it must be field supplied. Figs. 26 and 27 show the wire routings.

Fig. 27 - Conduit into Control Box

If the field disconnect is larger than 100A, it must be attached to the unit using accessory CRDISBKT001A00

disconnect switch bracket — (see Fig. 28). Follow the instructions provided with this accessory. For smaller field disconnects, be sure to use 1/2” screws to mount the disconnect directly to the end panel (see Fig. 29). In either case, set the disconnect vertical location on the unit so that a 90_ fitting can be used to connect the conduit to the disconnect.
