Step 2 — Select Location — Consult local building
codes and NEC for special installation requirements. See
Fig. 3 and 4 for unit dimensions and required clearances.
There are several ways the unit may be installed to different types of ceiling construction. These instructions do
not cover all installation methods. As a typical installation,
these instructions focus primarily on mounting the unit to
metal in new construction. Plan your installation carefully
before you begin. Listed below are some guidelines that should
be followed when determining location for the unit.
1. Place unit adjacent to an outside wall if fresh air is
required, ensuring that location allows for complete air
distribution.
2. Locate the thermostat in an area which is not subjected to
drafts or direct sunlight through windows. Locate thermostat on an interior wall whenever possible.
3. Allow sufficient clearance for airflow, wiring, refrigerant
piping, and servicing unit (Fig. 3 and 4).
4. Make sure the unit is easily accessible to electrical power.
5. Run refrigerant piping as directly as possible, and avoid
any unnecessary turns or bends.
6. Condensate piping can be directed through the inside wall
to an approved drain or straight outside.
NOTE: The piping hole for condensate line must slope at
a minimum pitch of
1
⁄4in. per foot to ensure proper drainage. If proper pitch cannot be achieved, install accessory
condensate pump at this time.
Step 3 — Mount Unit — Refer to Fig. 4 for clearances
and dimensions. Use mounting template included inside box
to locate mounting bolt holes, piping holes, electrical connections, and accessory outdoor-air intake, if used.
Select proper type of hardware from the guidelines below.
See Fig. 5.
Solid structure in ceiling must be used due to the weight
of the unit.
Wooden Structure — Install hanging bolts on a square wooden
piece placed over beams.
Newly Built Concrete Slab — Install hanging bolts with inserts, embedded bolts, etc.
Metal Structure — Install hanging bolts utilizing an existing
angle or by installing a new support angle.
Previously Built Concrete Slab — Install hanging bolts with
expansion anchor.

If Right-Side Piping Connection in Used
DO NOT BURY MORE THAN 36 IN. OF REFRIGERANT PIPE IN THE GROUND. If any section of pipe
is buried, there must be a 6-in. vertical rise to the valve
connections on the outdoor unit. If more than the recommended length is buried, refrigerant may migrate to
the cooler, buried section during extended periods of unit
shutdown, causing refrigerant slugging and possible compressor damage at start-up.
To connect piping:
1. Install insulation. Insulate supply and return refrigerant
lines on heat pumps (38QRC) and mult-split condensing
(38HDS) units to prevent condensation. It is extremely
important that all refrigerant lines and the AccuRatert
metering device be insulated on heat pumps. On 38HDC
cooling only units, the liquid line may be left uninsulated. Use any acceptable heat resistant closed-cell foam
insulation (minimum 3/8-in. wall thickness). When insulating piping, cap ends and slide insulation over the piping. Insulation can also be cut and placed over piping.
2. Run liquid and gas refrigerant piping.
a. Run pipes as directly as possible, and avoid any un-
necessary turns and bends.
b. Suspend refrigerant pipes so that the insulation is
not damaged and vibrations are not transmitted to the
structure.
c. Leave slack in the refrigerant pipe between the struc-
ture and the unit to absorb vibrations.
d. For 38HDC and QRC systems only, install flare con-
nection on tubing to liquid line at fan coil unit. A piston is shipped in the AccuRater device body (Fig. 13)
with the 40QA unit. Use Tables 4-6 to verify that you
have the required piston size for the system being
installed.

NOTE: DO NOT install a piston on 38HDS systems. Refrigerant control is handled by a TXV (thermostatic expansion valve) in the 38HDS unit in these systems.
For special applications, such as long lines or raised elevations, consult the Application Data section of the Product Data literature for specific system requirements. The
arrow on theAccuRatert device body must face away from
the indoor coil.
e. On heat pump (38QRC) installations, install factory-
supplied piston (enclosed in a bag taped inside the outdoor unit) into the AccuRater metering device located
in the service valve on the outdoor unit (Fig. 14).
IMPORTANT:The factory-supplied piston MUST
be installed as shown in Fig. 14.
Make sure Teflon seal on the piston faces toward the
outdoor unit. Use Table 5 to verify you have the required piston size for the system being installed. For
special applications, such as long lines or raised elevations, consult the Application Data section of the Product Data literature for specific system requirements.
