RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Equipment
IDENTIFYUNIT — The unit model numberand serial number are stamped on unit identification plate. Check this
information against shipping papers and job data.
INSPECT SHIPMENT— Inspect for shipping damage while
unit is still on shipping pallet. If unit appears to be damaged
or is tornloose from its anchorage, have it examined by transportation inspectors before removal. Forward claim papers
directly to transportation company. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit.
Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify
the nearest Carrier Air Conditioning office if any item is
missing.
To prevent loss or damage, leaveall parts in original packages until installation.
Step 2 — Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB — Install accessory roof curb in accordance
with instructions shipped with curb.See Fig. 10 for roof curb
dimensions. 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 a watertight seal. Install gasketing
material supplied with the roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing can also result in air leaks and poor
unit performance.
Curb should be level to within1⁄4inch. 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 be flush on the front of the unit (to allow
condensate drain installation) and should extend 2 in. on the
three remaining sides of the unit. See Fig. 11. Install a 6-in.
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.
FLUSH MOUNT — Place side of unit with duct panel flush
against transition. On units with optional base rails, the skirt
on duct-panel side of unit can be removed to allow unit to
be mounted flush against transitions that extend below basepan of unit. To remove skirt, remove 4 screws holding skirt
to base rail. Then, remove skirt.
To remove wood support under unit (with base rail only),
loosen 4 screws above rigging holes and slide assembly out
through rectangular hole.
Step 3 — Field Fabricate Ductwork — Secure all
ducts to roof curb and building structure on vertical discharge units. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal applications, unitis provided with flanges on thehorizontal
openings. All ductwork should be secured to the flanges. Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and
roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be
insulated and covered with a vapor barrier.
If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return
should be ducted through the roof deck to comply with applicable fire codes.
A minimum clearance is not required around ductwork.
Cabinet return-air static shall not exceed −.25 in. wg.
Step 4 — Provide Clearances — The required mini-
mum operating and service clearances are shown in
Fig. 2-9. Adequate combustion, ventilation, and condenser
air must be provided, in accordance with section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) Z223.1 (in
Canada, sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 or Can/CGA [Canadian Gas
Association] B149 Installation Codes), or applicable provisions of local building code.
Do not restrict condenser airflow. An air restriction at
either the outdoor-air inlet or the fan discharge can be
detrimental to compressor life.
The condenser fan pushes air through the condenser coil
and dischargesit through the bank of louvers in thetop cover,
the decorative grille on the right side of the unit, and the
compressor access panel. 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. Theminimum clearance under a partial overhang (such as a normal
house overhang) is 48-in. above the unit top. The maximum
horizontal extension of a partial overhang must not exceed
48 inches.
Do not place the unit where water, ice, or snow from an
overhang or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not install the unit on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials. The unit may be installed on wood flooring or on
Class A, B, or C roof covering materials.
Step 5 — Rig and Place Unit
When installing the unit on a rooftop, be sure the roof
will support the additional weight. Refer to Fig. 2-9 for
corner weight information.
Use spreader bars or crate top when rigging the unit. The
units must be rigged for lifting as shown in Fig. 12 and 13.
Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for operating weight and to Fig. 2-9
for corner weights. Use extreme caution to prevent damage
when moving the unit. Unit must remain in an upright position during all rigging and moving operations. The unit
must be level for proper condensate drainage; therefore, the
ground-level pad or accessory roof 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.

NOTICE TO RIGGERS
Hook rigging shackles through holes in lifting brackets, as shown in
Detail ‘‘A.’’ Lifting brackets to be centered around the unit center of
gravity.Use wooden top skid when rigging, to prevent rigging straps
from damaging unit.
UNITS WITHOUT BASE RAIL — If accessory rigging
brackets are to be used for rigging, install them as follows:
Secure screws and paint protectors solidly against unit
basepan to hold lifting brackets in position.
Never use lifting brackets when the temperature is below −10 F.
Never exceed 200 lbs per bracket of lifting force.
Never use lifting brackets for lifting other models of air-
conditioning units.
Lifting point should be directly over the unit center of
gravity.
1. Position brackets as close to the corners of unit as pos-
sible. Be sure brackets are well outside of center of gravity. (See Fig. 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12.).
2. Position paint protectors and foam strips between screws
and painted surfaceof unit. Tightenscrews until they make
contact with the paint protectors.
3. Securedevice or hook of sufficientstrength to holein bracket
as shown in detail ‘‘A’’ of Fig. 12.
4. If wood top is available, use it for a spreader bar to pre-
vent straps from damaging unit. If wood top is not available, use spreader bars of sufficient length.

UNITS WITH OPTIONAL BASE RAIL — Lifting holes
are provided in optional base rail as shown in Fig. 13. Operating weights are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
Protective wood support must be removed from unit before unit is mounted to curb. Remove 4 screws that secure
support above riggingholes in rails. Slide support out through
rectangular hole in rail. See Fig. 13.
Step 6 — Connect Condensate Drain
NOTE: When installing condensatedrain connection be sure
to comply with local codes and restrictions.
Model 48SS,SX disposes of condensate water through a
3
⁄4in. NPT fitting which exits through the compressor access
panel. See Fig. 2-9 for location.
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in
rooftop installations (where permitted)or onto a gravel apron
in ground-level installations. Install a field-supplied condensate trap at end of condensate connection to ensure proper
drainage. Make sure that the outlet of the trap is at least
1 in. lower than the drain-pan condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. See Fig. 14. Prime the trap
with water. When using a gravel apron, make sure it slopes
away from the unit.
If the installation requires draining the condensate water
away from the unit, install a 2-in. trap at the condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. See Fig. 14. Make sure
that the outlet of the trapis at least 1 in. lower than the drainpan condensate connection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime the trap with water. Connect a drain tube using a minimum of
3
⁄4-in. PVC or3⁄4-in. copper pipe (all fieldsupplied) at the outlet end of the 2-in. trap. Do not undersize
the tube. Pitch the drain tube downward at a slope of at least
one in. for every 10 ft of horizontal run. Be sure to check the
drain tube for leaks.
Fig. 14 — Condensate Trap
Step 7 — Install Flue Hood — The flue hood as-
sembly is shipped screwed to the control box in the burner
compartment. Remove the burner access panel to locate the
assembly.
For units being installed in California Air Quality Management Districts which require NO
40 nanograms/joule or less, kit CRLOWNOX001A00 must
be installed.
The venting system is designed to ensure proper venting. The flue hood assembly must be installed as indicated in this section of the unit installation instructions.
Install the flue hood as follows:
1. This installation must conform with local building codes
and withthe National FuelGas Code (NFGC),ANSI Z223.1
(in Canada,CAN/CGA B149.1, andB149.2) or NFPA(National Fire Protection Association) latest revision. Refer
emissions of
x
to Provincial and local plumbingor wastewater codes and
other applicable local codes.
2. Remove from shipping location. Place vent cap assembly
over flue panel. Orient screw holes in vent cap with holes
in the flue panel.
3. Secure flue hood to flue panel by inserting a single screw
on the right side, the left side, and the top of the hood.
Step 8 — Install Gas Piping — The gas supply pipe
enters the unit through the access hole provided. The gas
connection to the unit is made to the1⁄2-in. FPT gas inlet on
the manual shutoff or gas valve.
Install a gas supply line that runs to the heating section.
Refer to Table 3 and the NFGC for gas pipe sizing. Do notuse cast-iron pipe. It is recommended that a black iron pipe
is used. Check the local utility for recommendations concerning existing lines. Size gas supply piping for 0.5 in. wg
maximum pressure drop. Never use pipe smaller than the
1
⁄2-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 4.0 in. wg or greater than
13 in. wg while the unit is operating. For propane applications, the gas pressure must not be less than 4.0 in. wg or
greater than 13 in. wg at the unit connection.
1
An
⁄8-in. NPT plugged tapping accessible for test gage
connection must be installed immediately upstream of the
gas supply connection to the furnace.
When installing the gas supply line, observe local codes
pertaining to gas pipe installations.Refer to the NFGC ANSI
Z223.1-1988 NFPA latest edition (in Canada, CAN/CGA
B149.1, (2)-M86). In the absence of local building codes,
adhere to the following pertinent recommendations:
1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade all pipe
1
⁄4inch in every 15 ft to prevent traps. Grade all horizontal runs downward to risers. Use risers to connect to
heating section and to meter.
2. Protect all segmentsof piping system against physical and
thermal damage.Support all piping with appropriatestraps,
hangers, etc. Use a minimum of one hanger every 6 ft.
For pipe sizes larger than
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 gasesas specified by local and/ornational codes.
Never use Teflon tape.
4. Install sediment trap in riser leading to heating section
per Fig. 15. This drip leg functions as a trap for dirt and
condensate.
5. Install an accessible, external, manual main shutoff valve
in gas supply pipe within 6 ft of heating section.
6. Install ground-joint union close to heating section between unit manual shutoff and external manual main shutoff valve.
7. Pressure-test all gas piping in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before connecting piping to unit.
NOTE: Pressure test the gas supply system after the gas
supply piping is connected to the gas valve. The supply
piping must be disconnected from the gas valve during
the testing of the piping systems when test pressure is in
excess of 0.5 psig. Pressure test the gas supply piping
system at 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 shutoff valve
and slightly opening the ground-joint union.
