Piping Installation
Before installation of piping package, the shipping bracket holding the pip- ing in place, must be removed.
Proper installation of piping is neces- sary to provide efficient coil operation and to prevent damage during opera- tion. Follow standard piping practices and include all accessories as neces- sary.
Piping connection knockouts are shown pages 8 to 10. Field connection types and sizes for unit coils are listed in Table 5. These sizes are provided for field piping connection.
A7/8’’ OD condensate drain connec- tion is provided on the chilled water supply end of the unit.
1Attach a flexible condensate drain hose over the drain pan connec- tion and secure with a hose clamp.
The drain pan on the vertical is vacu- um molded with a drain connection and
Note: Condensate removal to the main system should be made through the bottom of the unit ventilator. If other location for condensate removal is de- sired, a specific field
7After the condensate drain piping has been completed, check water flow to ensure the system proper- ly carries and away all condensate accumulation.
Note: A P-trap is factory supplied in ev- ery vertical unit ventilator.
Trane Piping Packages (Option) Trane Standard Piping Package in- cludes a
1All union connections should be tightened in the field. Units are shipped with union connections hand tightened only in the factory.
Note: All connections made in the field should be sweat connections.
Piping packages are not shipped insu- lated. Any insulation should be provid- ed in the field by the installing contractor.
The auxiliary drain pan (optional) is the main condensate connection to the unit when specified. The chilled water or DX coil drain pan will empty into the auxiliary drain pan if a factory installed, auxiliary pan is ordered. All field piping condensate connections should be made at the auxiliary drain pan.

Installation Crossover Piping
Crossover piping is available for all hy- dronic coils. It is either 1 3/8’’ \[34.9\] or 2 1/8’’ \[54\] in diameter (O.D.) as spec- ified by the customer. Crossover pip- ing can be found in either the left or right hand end pocket. See crossover submittal drawings page 13 for dimen- sional data.
On
Factory insulation is provided on all crossover piping.
When a Trane piping package is or- dered, it is installed with the connec- tions made to the supply and return of both the coil and the crossover piping. However, supply and return connec- tions must be made in the field when a piping package is furnished by the in- staller.
The crossover piping is located at the back of the unit along the wall and the ends of the piping are flush with the end of the unit.
Expansion compensation between the piping package and the crossover pip- ing is achieved using flex hoses rated at 250 psi working pressure. Expan- sion compensation for the crossover piping must be handled external to the unit ventilator.

Notes:
1.Supply and return connections are located on the same end of each coil.
2.All Trane piping packages have union connections; all units with piping packages by others have sweat connections.
3.Coil connections are sweat except steam coils, which are threaded.
