CAUTION
Disconnect gas piping from units when leak testing at pres- sures greater than 0.5 psig. Pressures greater than 0.5 psig will cause gas valve damage resulting in a hazardous condition. If gas valve is subjected to pressure greater than
0.5psig, it must be replaced. When pressure testing field- supplied gas piping at pressures of 0.5 psig or less, the unit connected to such piping must be isolated by manually closing the gas valve.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Perform Jobsite Survey — Complete
the following checks before installation.
1.Consult local building codes and the NEC (National Electrical Code) (ANSI/NFPA [American National Stan- dards Institute/National Fire Protection Association] 70) for special installation requirements.
2.Determine unit location (from project plans) or select unit location.
3.Check for possible overhead obstructions which may in- terfere with unit lifting or rigging.
CAUTION
Do not lift unit with forklift truck. Move unit with over- head rigging only.
Step 2 — Place Unit — Inspect unit for transportation damage. File claim with transportation agency.
Provide clearance around and above unit for airflow, safety, and service access. Do not restrict top (area above condenser fans) in any way. Allow at least 6 ft on all sides for rated perfor- mance, code compliance, and service. On units equipped with power exhaust option, high velocity air is exhausted out the hood. Unit should be positioned with at least 10 ft clearance be- tween the exhaust hood and any obstruction.
Check unit dimensional drawings for unit arrangement and minimum performance and service clearances.
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air in- lets near exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated air.
Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from higher level runoff and overhangs.
Level by using unit frame as a reference. Physical data is shown in Tables
Step 3 — Roof Mount Unit — Check building codes for weight distribution requirements. Unit weight is shown in Tables
ROOF CURB — Assemble and install roof curb as described in instructions shipped with the accessory. Accessory roof curb and information required to field fabricate a roof curb is shown in Fig.
STEEL BEAMS — If roof curb is not used, support unit with steel beams along its entire length and then support steel as re- quired. As a minimum, unit must be supported across its width at each lifting lug location.
Step 4 — Slab Mount Unit — Provide a level con- crete slab that extends beyond unit cabinet at least 6 inches. Make a slab 8 in. thick with 4 in. above grade. Use gravel apron in front of condenser coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage from obstructing airflow. Ensure that slab is of
sufficient height to allow for condensate trap of 4 in. on sizes
Step 5 — Install Curb Gasketing
SIZE
SIZE
1.Along both side rails (1) — 2 places, full length
2.Along return air end rail (2) — 1 place
3.Around return air internal duct flange (3) — 1 or 2 places
4.Around supply air internal duct flanges (4) — 3 places
NOTE: Do not apply gasket material along the outside edge of the curb (area “X”). This pan area of the curb extends out beneath the end of the unit’s air handler section; applying gas- ket here develops a potential water trap area on top of the curb. Condenser Section Roof Curb (See Fig. 7) — Apply single- thickness gasket along both side rails (5).
Step 6 — Install Field-Fabricated Ductwork
WARNING
For vertical supply and return units, tools or parts could drop into ductwork and cause an injury. Install a
The 48P2,P3 units are designed for vertical supply/return only.
To attach ductwork to roof curb, insert duct approximately 10 to 11 in. up into roof curb. Connect ductwork to
Secure all ducts to the building structure, using flexible duct connectors between roof curbs and ducts as required. Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be insulated and covered with a vapor barrier. Outlet grilles must not lie directly below unit discharge.
Design supply duct strong enough to handle expected static pressures.
Step 7 — Rig Unit — Do not drop unit; keep upright. Use spreader bars over unit to prevent sling or cable damage. Sheets of plywood placed along the condenser coils will pro- vide additional protection. All lifting lugs MUST be used when lifting unit. Level by using unit frame as a reference. See Fig. 9 and 10 for information. Unit and accessory weights are shown in Tables
