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, making sure to position the common cross rail (see Fig. 3) for large duct opening.

Install field-fabricated ductwork inside curb

Complete installation of the factory-installed thru-the-base service connection option

Prepare bottom condensate drain connection to suit planned condensate line routing (refer to Step 9 for details)

Rig and place unit Install outdoor air hood

Install condensate line trap and piping Make electrical connections

Install other accessories

Pad-mounted installation —

Prepare pad and unit supports

Check and tighten the bottom condensate drain connection plug

Rig and place unit

Convert unit to side duct connection arrangement Install field-fabricated ductwork at unit duct openings Install outdoor air hood

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.

Step 4 — Provide Unit Support

Roof Curb Mount —

Accessory roof curb details and dimensions are shown in Fig. 3. 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 Fig. 3. 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. 4. 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.

IMPORTANT:

If the unit’s gas connection and/or electric and control wiring is to be routed through the basepan and the unit is equipped with the factory-installed Thru-the-Base service option see the following sections:

SFactory-Option Thru-Base Connections (Gas Connection) on page 11

SFactory-Option Thru-Base Connections (Electrical Connections) on page 17

If using the field-installed Thru-the-Base accessory follow the instructions provided with the accessory kit.

NOTE: If gas and/or electrical connections are not going to occur at this time, tape or otherwise cover the fittings so that moisture does not get into the building or conduit in the interim.

Slab Mount (Horizontal Units Only) —

Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of

6in. (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 3 equally spaced 4-in. x 4-in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side.
