Step 2 - Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB — Install accessory roof curb in accordance
with instructions shipped with curb. Install insulation, cant
strips, roofing and flashing. Ductwork must be attached to
curb.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof
curb is critical for water integrity. Install gasketing
material supplied with the roof curb. Improperly ap
plied gasketing also can result in air leaks and poor
unit performance.
Curb should be level to within */4 inch. This is necessary
for unit drain to function properly. Refer to Accessory Roof
Curb Installation Instructions for additional information as
required.
SLAB MOUNT — Place the unit on a solid, level concrete
pad that is a minimum of 4-in. thick with 2-in. above grade.
The slab should extend approximately 2-in. beyond the cas
ing on all 4 sides of the unit. Install a gravel apron in front
of condenser-air inlets to prevent obstruction of airflow by
grass or shrubs. Do not secure the unit to the slab except
when required by local codes.
Step 3 — Provide Clearances — The required min
imum operating and service clearances are shown in Fig. 2
and 3. Adequate combustion, ventilation and condenser air
must be provided.
The condenser fan discharges through the top of the unit.
Be sure that the fan discharge does not recirculate to the
condenser coil. Do not locate the unit in either a corner or
under an overhead obstruction. The minimum clearance
under a partial overhang (such as a normal house overhang)
is 48-in. above the unit top. The maximum horizontal ex
tension of a partial overhang must not exceed 48 inches.
A CAUTION
Do not restrict condenser airflow. An air restriction at
either the outdoor-air inlet (the entire surface of the out
door coil) or the fan discharge can be detrimental to
compressor life.
Do not place the unit where water, ice or snow from an
overhang or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not in
stall the unit on carpeting, tile or other combustible mate
rials. The unit may be installed on wood flooring or on Class
A, B or C roof covering materials.
Step 4 — Rig and Place Unit — Use spreader bars
and crate top when rigging the unit. The units must be rigged
for lifting as shown in Fig. 4. Refer to Fig. 4 for rigging
weight and Table 1 for operating weight. Use extreme cau
tion to prevent damage when moving the unit. Unit must
remain in an upright position during all rigging and mov
ing operations. The unit must be level for proper conden
sate 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, be sure that
the support is level and properly supports the unit.
A CAUTION
When installing the unit on a rooftop, be sure the roof
will support the additional weight. Refer to Fig. 4 for
corner weight information.

Step 5 — Connect Condensate Drain
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure
to comply with local codes and restrictions.
The unit disposes of condensate water through a %-in.
NPT drain fitting. See Fig. 2 and 3 for location.
Install a 2-in. trap at the drain fitting to ensure proper
drainage. See Fig. 5. Make sure the outlet of the trap is at
least one-in. lower than the unit drain pan connection to
Fig. 4 - Suggested Rigging
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 %-in. OD copper tubing, y4-in. galvanized pipe or %-in.
plastic pipe. Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain tube
downward at a slope of at least one inch in every 10 ft 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 6 — Install Venting — The vent cap assembly
is shipped in the burner compartment. Remove the access
door to locate the assembly.
A CAUTION
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. Make sure they are
oriented properly 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.
2. Secure vent cap in place by inserting the single screw on
the right side of vent cap.
3. Place the vent cap guard over the vent cap. Orient holes
in vent cap guard with holes in vent cap and flue panel.
4. Secure the entire assembly with the remaining 2 screws
on the left side of vent cap and vent-cap guard
assembly.
Step 7 — Install Gas Piping — The gas supply pipe
enters the unit through the access hole provided. The gas
connection to the unit is made to the Vi-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 2 and the
National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) for gas pipe sizing. Do
not use cast-iron pipe. It is recommended that black iron
pipe is used. Check the local utility for recommendations
concerning 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 ‘A-in. FPT gas inlet on the unit
gas valve.
For natural gas applications, the gas pressure at unit gas
connection must not be less than 5 in. wg or greater than
13 in. wg while the unit is operating. For propane applica
tions, the gas pressure must not be less than 11 in. wg or
greater than 13 in. wg at the unit connection.
When installing the gas supply line, observe local codes
pertaining to gas pipe installations. Refer to the NFGC ANSI
(American National Standards Institute) Z223.1-1988 NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) 54-1988 (in Canada,
CAN/CGA [Canadian Gas Association] B 149.1, (2)-M86).
In the absence of local building codes, adhere to the fol
lowing pertinent recommendations:
1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade all pipe
V4 inch 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 Уг 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 liquefied
petroleum gases as specified by local and/or national codes.
Never use Teflon tape.
4. Install sediment trap in riser leading to heating section.
This drip leg functions as a trap for dirt and condensate.
Install trap where condensate cannot freeze. Install this
sediment trap by connecting a piping tee to riser leading
to heating section, so that straight-through section of tee
is vertical. See Fig. 7. Then, connect capped nipple into
lower end of tee. Extend capped nipple below level of
gas controls.

and installing the duct system;
1. The unit is shipped in vertical configuration. To convert
unit to horizontal application, remove side duct covers,
save screws and install the covers on bottom duct
openings.
2. Select and size ductwork, supply-air registers and returnair grilles according to ASHRAE (American Society of
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers)
recommendations.
A CAUTION
When drilling the duct-system fastening holes into the
side of the unit instead of the unit duct flanges, use ex
treme care to avoid puncturing the coil or coil tubes.
See Fig. 8.
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 gas
kets 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 Table 1,
5. Size all 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 lo
cated outdoors. Insulate ducts passing through uncondi
tioned space, and use vapor barrier in accordance with
latest issue of SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Condi
tioning Contractors National Association) and ACCA (Air
Conditioning Contractors of America) minimum instal
lation standards for heating and air conditioning sys
tems. Secure all 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 9 — Install Electrical Connections
