Care and Maintenance
A CAUTION
Use spreader bars and crate top when rigging the unit
to be lifted. Model 48N must be rigged for lifting as
shown in Fig. 4. Use extreme caution to prevent dam
age when moving the unit. Unit must remain in an
upright position during eJl rigging and moving opera
tions. The unit must be level for proper condensate
drainage; therefore, the ground-level pad or accessory
roof-mounting curb must be level before setting the
unit in place. When a field-fabricated support is used,
ensure that the support is level and properly supports
the unit.
A. Rooftop installation
A CAUTION
When installing the unit on a rooftop, be sure that the
roof will support the additional weight. Refer to Figs. 2
& 3 for Model 48N to obtain toted weight and corner
weight information.
For downflow applications, an accessory roof-mounting
curb must be installed on, and flashed into the roof before
unit installation. The instructions for installing the acces
sory curb are packaged with the curb.
For end-discharge applications place the unit on a level base
that provides proper support. On flat roofs, be sure that the
unit is located at least 4-ins. above the highest expected
water level on the roof to prevent flooding.
B. Ground-Level Installation
Place the unit on a sohd, level, concrete pad that is a mini
mum of 2-ins. thick and that extends approximately 2-in.
beyond the casing on all four sides of the unit. Do not secure
the unit to the pad except when required by local codes.
C. Clearances
The required minimiim operating and service clearances are
shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Adequate combustion, ventilation
and condenser air must be provided.
A CAUTION
Do not restrict condenser airflow. An air restriction at
either the outdoor-air inlet (the entire surface of the out
door cofl.) or the fan discharge can be detrimental to
compressor hfe.
The condenser fan discharges through the top of the unit.
Ensure that the fan discheirge does not recirculate to the
condenser coil. Do not locate the unit in either a corner or
under a complete overhead obstruction. The minimum clear
ance under a partial overhang (such as a normal house roof
overhang) is 48-ins. above unit top. The maximum horizon
tal extension of a partial overhang must not exceed 48-in..
Do not locate the unit where water, ice, or snow from an
overhang or roof wiU damage or flood the unit by falling on
the top. Do not locate the unit where grass, shrubs, or other
plants will interfere with the airflow either into or out of the
unit. Do not install the unit on carpeting, tile, or other com
bustible material other than wood flooring. Furnace may be
installed on wood flooriag or on Class A, B, or C roof cover
ing materials.
Step 2—Condensate Disposal
NOTE: Ensure that condensate-water disposal methods
comply with local codes, restrictions, and practices.
Model 48N disposes of condensate water through a 3/4-in.,
Male Female NPT drain fitting. See Figs. 2 and 3 for
location.
Install a 2-in. trap at the drain fitting to ensure proper
drainage. See Fig. 5. Make sure that the outlet of the trap is
at least 1-in. lower than the unit drain pan connection to
prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime the trap with
water.
If the installation requires draining the condensate water
away from the unit, connect a drain tube using a minimum
of 7/8-in. OD copper tubing, 3/4-in. galvanized pipe, or
3/4-in. plastic pipe. Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the
drain tube downward at a slope of at least 1-in. in every 10ft of horizontal run. Be sure to check the drain tube for
leaks.
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in
rooftop installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel
apron in ground-level installations. When using a gravel
apron, make sure it slopes away from the unit.
Step 3—Venting
The vent-cap assembly is shipped in the burner compart
ment. Remove the access door to locate the assembly.

*This length includes an ordinary number of fittings.
The venting system is designed to ensure proper vent
ing. The vent cap assembly must be installed as indi
cated in this section of the unit Installation
Instructions.
NOTE: Screw holes in the flue assembly and the unit flue
panel are not symmetrically located; thereby, ensuring
proper orientation when installing these components.
Refer to Fig. 6 and install the vent cap as follows:
1. Place vent cap assembly over flue panel, orient screw
holes in vent cap with holes in flue panel, and secure
vent cap in place by inserting the single screw on the
right side of vent cap.
2. Place the vent cap guard over the vent cap, orient holes
in vent cap guard with holes in vent cap and flue panel.
Secure the entire assembly with the remaining two
screws on the left side of vent cap and vent cap guard
assembly.
Step 4—Gas Piping
The gas supply pipe enters the unit through the access hole
provided. The gas connection to the unit is made to the
1/2-in. FPT gas inlet on the manual shutoff or gas valve.
Install a separate gas supply line that runs directly from
the meter to the heating section. Refer to Table 1 and the
National Fuel Gas Code for gas pipe sizing. Do not use cast-
iron pipe.Check the local utihty for recommendations con
cerning existing lines. Choose a supply pipe that is large
enough to keep the pressure loss as low as practical. Never
use pipe smaller than the 1/2-in. FPT gas inlet on the unit
gas valve.
When instaUing the gas supply hne, observe local codes per
taining to gas pipe installations. Refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-1984 (In Canada, CAN/CGA
B 149.1, (2)-M86) or NFPA 54-1984 in the absence of local
buUding codes. Adhere to the following pertinent recom
mendations:
1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade aU pipe
1/4-in. in every 15-ft to prevent traps. Grade all hori
zontal runs downward to risers. Use risers to connect
to heating section and to meter.
2. Protect all segments of piping system against physical
and thermal damage. Support all piping with appropri
ate straps, hangers, etc. Use a minimum of one hanger
every 6-ft. For pipe sizes larger than 1/2-in., follow rec
ommendations of national codes.
3. Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only
to male threads of joint when making pipe connections.
Use only pipe dope that is resistant to action of lique
fied petroleum gases as specified by local and/or
national codes. Never use teflon tape.

4. Install sediment trap in riser leading to heating sec
tion. This drip leg functions as a trap for dirt and con
densate. Install trap where condensate can not freeze.
Install this sediment trap by connecting a piping tee to
riser leading to heating section, so that straightthrough section of tee is vertical. See Fig. 7. Then, con
nect capped nipple into lower end of tee. Extend
capped nipple below level of gas controls.
Install an accessible, external, manual main shut-off
5.
valve in gas supply pipe within 6-ft of heating section.
Install ground-joint union close to heating section
6.
between unit manual shutoff and external manual main
shut-off valve.
7. Pressure-test all gas piping in accordance with local
and national plumbing and gas codes before connecting
piping to unit.
NOTE: When pressure testing the gas supply system after
the gas supply piping has been coimected to the unit gas
valve, the supply piping must be disconnected from the gas
vedve during any pressure testing of the piping systems at
test pressure in excess of 0.5 psig. When pressure testing
the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 0.5 psig, the unit heating section must be isolated
from the gas piping system by closing the external main
manual shut-off valve and slightly opening the ground-joint
union.

A73130
A CAUTION
Unstable operation may occur when the gas valve and
manifold assembly are forced out of position while con
necting improperly routed rigid gas piping to the gas
valve. Use a backup wrench when making connection to
avoid strain on, or distortion of, the gas control piping.
A CAUTION
If a flexible conductor is required or allowed by the
authority having jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be
installed at the gas valve and extend a minimum of
2-ins. outside the unit casing.
A WARNING
Never use a match or other open flame when checking
for gas leaks. Never purge gas line into combustion
chamber. Failure to adhere to this warning could result
in an explosion.
8. Check for gas leaks at all field-installed and factoryinstalled gas lines after all piping connections have
been completed. Use soap-and-water solution (or
method specified by local codes and/or regulations).
2. Select and size ductwork, supply-air registers, and
return-air grilles according to ASHRAE recom
mendations.
A CAUTION
When the duct-system fastening holes are being drilled
into side of Model 48N instead of the unit duct flanges,
use extreme ceire to avoid puncturing the coil or cofl.
tubes.
3. Use flexible transition between rigid ductwork and unit
to prevent transmission of vibration. The transition
may be screwed or bolted to duct flanges. Use suitable
gaskets to ensure weather and airtight seal.
4. Install external, field-supplied air filter(s) in return-air
ductwork where it is easily accessible for service. Rec
ommended filter sizes are shown in Tables 2 thru 7.
5. Size aU ductwork for maximum required airflow (either
heating or cooling) for unit being installed. Avoid
abrupt duct size increases or decreases.
6. Adequately insulate and weatherproof all ductwork
located outdoors. Insulate ducts passing thru uncondi
tioned space, and use vapor barrier in accordance with
latest issue of SMACNÀ and ACCA minimum installa
tion standards for heating and air conditioning sys
tems. Secure aU ducts to building structure.
7. Flash, weatherproof, and vibration-isolate all openings
in building structure in accordance with local codes and
good building practices.
Step 6—Electrical Connections
A WARNING
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbro
ken, electrical ground to minimize the possibility of per
sonal injury if an electrical fault should occur. This
ground may consist of electrical wire connected to the
unit ground lug in the control compartment, or conduit
approved for electrical ground when installed in accor
dance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70-1987 (in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code CSA
C22.1) and local electrical codes. Do not use gas piping as an electrical ground. A failure to adhere to this warn
ing could result in the installer being hable for the per
sonal injury of others.
Step 5—Duct Connections
Model 48N has duct flanges on the supply- and return-air
openings on the side and bottom of the unit. See Figs. 2 and
3 for connection sizes emd locations.
NOTE: The design and installation of the duct system must
be in accordance with the standards of the National Fire
Protection Association for installation of nonresidence-type
air conditioning and ventilating systems, NFPA No. 90A or
residence-type, NFPA No. 90B; and/or local codes and
ordinances.
Adhere to the following criteria when selecting, sizing, and
installing the duct system:
1. Remove appropriate panels from unit to obtain either
side or bottom discharge. If models 48NLT018 thru
48NMT042 are installed in horizontal discharge apphcations, remove side duct covers, save screws, and
install the covers on bottom duct openings. For models
48NHT036 thru 48NHT060 remove either side or bot
tom duct covers as needed and discard.
A CAUTION
A failure to follow these precautions could result in
damage to the unit being installed:
1. Make all electrical connections in accordance with
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1987 and
local electrical codes governing such wiring. In Canada,
all electrical connections must be in accordance with
CSA standard C22.1 Cemadian Electrical Code Part 1
and applicable local codes. Refer to Unit Wiring
Diagram.
2. Use only copper conductor for connections between
field-supplied electrical disconnect switch and unit. DO
NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE.
3. Ensure that high-voltage power to unit is within oper
ating voltage range indicated on unit rating plate. On
3-phase units, ensure that phases are balanced within
2%. Consult local power company for correction of
improper voltage and/or phase balance.
