handler must be cleaned and/or repaired if found to be dirty, damaged, or malfunctioning in any way by a qualified HVAC technician. The air handler shall be inspected and approved by applicable local authority even if this requires redundant inspections.

•The serial number for the air handler used during construction must be submitted in writing (fax and email also acceptable). This information will be used to track the long-term affects of air handler usage during construction.Proof of this submittal shall be available for the final inspection of the air handler prior to occupancy.

Installation in a Garage

WARNING:

Donotplacecombustiblematerialsonoragainst the cabinet. Do not place flammable materials, (gasoline, paint thinners, etc.) or any other flammable vapors and liquids, in the vicinity of the air handler.

The HMG**F1E, HMG**X1E & HCG**V1E series air handler may be installed in a residential garage with the provision that the unit must be located or protected to prevent physical damage by vehicles.

Plenums & Air Ducts

•Plenums and air ducts should be installed in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA 90A), Standard for Installation of Residence Type Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA 90B), and all applicable local codes. NFPA publications are available by writing to: National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, ME 02269 or visit www.NFPA.org online.

WARNING:

All return ducts must be secured to the air handler using appropriate methods. All return ducts must be adequately sealed. When return air is provided through the bottom of the unit, the joint between the air handler and the return air plenum must be air tight.

Return air and circulating air ducts must not be connected to any other heat producing device such as a fireplace insert, stove, etc. This may result in fire, explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning,personal injury,or property damage.

•Design the duct work according to methods described by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).

•This unit is designed only for use with a return and supply duct. The return air duct must have the same free area

as the opening provided on the air handler. The ducts should be appropriately sized to the capacity of the air handler to ensure its proper airflow rating.

•Use transition fittings if the supply and/or return air openings of the unit do not match the duct openings. These transitions should be dimensioned in accordance with standard practice as specified in the ASHRAE recommendations for duct transitions.

•Flexible connectors may be used between the unit and the ductwork to prevent transmission of vibration from the unit to the structure. If electric heater kits are installed, heat resistant material must be used for the flexible connector at the supply air end of the unit.

•It is good practice to seal all connections and joints with industrial grade sealing tape or liquid sealant. Requirements for sealing ducts vary from region to region.Consult with local codes for requirements specific to your area.

Unconditioned Spaces

All duct work passing through unconditioned space must be properly insulated to minimize duct losses and prevent condensation. Use insulation with an outer vapor barrier. Refer to local codes for insulation material requirements.

Air Filters

HMG**F1E, HMG**X1E & HCG**V1E series air handlers are not supplied with an air filter when shipped from the factory. The installer must provide a high velocity filter that is appropriately sized to the return air duct opening or filter rack located in the bottom of the unit. Accessing the filter does not require tools and can be removed from the front of the unit by removing the filter door. See Unit Maintenance (page 16) for filter sizes and installation information.

WARNING:

Never operate the air handler without a filter or with doors removed. Dust and lint can build up on internal components, resulting in loss of efficiency,equipment damage,and possible fire.

Acoustical Duct Work

•Certain installations may require the use of acoustical lining inside the supply duct work. Acoustical insulation must be in accordance with the current revision of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) application standard for duct liners.Duct lining must be UL classified batts or blankets with a fire hazard classification of FHC-25/50 or less.

•Fiber duct work may be used in place of internal duct liners if the fiber duct work is in accordance with the current revision of the SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Fibrous duct work and internal acoustical lining must be NFPA Class 1 air ducts when tested per UL Standard 181 for Class 1 ducts.

•Damping ducts, flexible vibration isolators, or pleated media-style filters on the return air inlet of the air handler may be used to reduce the transmission of
