1.Consult local building codes and the NEC (National Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70 for special installation
requirements.
2.Determine unit location (from project plans) or select unit
location.
3.Check for possible overhead obstructions which may
interfere with unit lifting or rigging.
Step 1 — Plan for Unit Location
Select a location for the unit and its support system (curb or
other) that provides for the minimum clearances required for
safety. This includes the clearance to combustible surfaces,
unit performance and service access below and around unit as
specified in Fig. 4.
NOTE: Consider also the effect of adjacent units.
Be sure that unit is installed such that snow will not block the
combustion intake or flue outlet.
Unit may be installed directly on wood flooring or on Class A,
B, or C roof-covering material when roof curb is used.
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air inlets
near exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated air. For
proper unit operation, adequate combustion and ventilation air
must be provided in accordance with Section 5.3 (Air for Combustion and Ventilation) of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 (American National Standards Institute) and NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) 54 TIA-54-84-1. In
Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN1B149 installation codes for gas burning appliances.
Although unit is weatherproof, avoid locations that permit water from higher level runoff and overhangs to fall onto the unit.
Locate mechanical draft system flue assembly at least 4 ft
(1.2 m) from any opening through which combustion products
could enter the building, and at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from any adjacent building (or per local code). Locate the flue assembly at
least 10 ft (3.05 m) from an adjacent unit’s fresh air intake
hood if within 3 ft (0.91 m) of same elevation (or per local
code). When unit is located adjacent to public walkways, flue
assembly must be at least 7 ft (2.1 m) above grade.
Select a unit mounting system that provides adequate height to
allow installation of condensate trap per requirements. Refer to
“Step 12 — Install External Condensate Trap and Line” on
page 17 for required trap dimensions.

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE
DIFFERENCE – IN. (MM)
Install insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter flashing
as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb and not to the
unit. The accessory thru-the-base power and gas connection
package must be installed before the unit is set on the roof
curb. If field-installed thru-the-roof curb gas connections are
desired, use factory-supplied
1
/2-in. pipe coupling and gas plate
assembly to mount the thru-the-roof curb connection to the
roof curb. Gas connections and power connections to the unit
must be field-installed after the unit is installed on the roof
curb.
If electric and control wiring is to be routed through the basepan,
attach the accessory thru-the-base service connections to the basepan in accordance with the accessory installation instructions.
SLAB MOUNT (HORIZONTAL UNITS ONLY)
Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6-in.
(150 mm) beyond unit cabinet. Install a gravel apron in front of
condenser coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage from obstructing airflow.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if
required.
ALTERNATE UNIT SUPPORT (IN LIEU OF CURB OR
SLAB MOUNT)
A non-combustible sleeper rail can be used in the unit curb
support area. If sleeper rails cannot be used, support the long
sides of the unit with a minimum of 3 equally spaced 4-in. x
4-in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side.
Step 5 — Field Fabricate Ductwork
Cabinet return-air static pressure (a negative condition) shall
not exceed 0.35 in. wg (87 Pa) with economizer or 0.45 in. wg
(112 Pa) without economizer.
For vertical ducted applications, secure all ducts to roof curb
and building structure. Do not connect ductwork to unit.
Fabricate supply ductwork so that the cross-sectional dimensions are equal to or greater than the unit-supply duct opening
dimensions for the first 18-in. (458 mm) of duct length from
the unit basepan.
Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and
roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance
with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through unconditioned spaces 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.
CAUTION
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to roof-
ing materials.
Membrane roofs can be cut by sharp sheet metal edges. Be
careful when placing any sheet metal parts on such roof.
Step 6 — Rig and Place Unit
Keep unit upright and do not drop. Spreader bars are required.
Rollers may be used to move unit across a roof. Level by using
unit frame as a reference. See Table 2 and Fig. 9 for additional
information.
Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig. 9. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
Rigging materials under unit (cardboard or wood) must be removed PRIOR to placing the unit on the roof curb.
When using the standard side drain connection, ensure the red
plug in the alternate bottom connection is tight. Do this before
setting the unit in place. The red drain pan plug can be tightened with a
1
/2-in. square socket drive extension. For further
details, see “Step 12 — Install External Condensate Trap and
Line” on page 17.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage.

for handling by fork truck when packaging is removed.
If using top crate as spreader bar, once unit is set, carefully
lower wooden crate off building roof top to ground. Ensure
that no people or obstructions are below prior to lowering
the crate.
Before setting the unit onto the curb, recheck gasketing on
curb.
POSITIONING ON CURB
Position unit on roof curb so that the following clearances are
maintained:
and the base rail inside the front and rear, 0.0-in. clearance between the roof curb and the base rail inside on the duct end of
the unit. This will result in the distance between the roof curb
and the base rail inside on the condenser end of the unit being
approximately
Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from higher
level runoff and overhangs.
Flue vent discharge must have a minimum horizontal clearance of 4 ft (1220 mm) from electric and gas meters, gas regulators, and gas relief equipment. Minimum distance between
unit and other electrically live parts is 48-in. (1220 mm).
Flue gas can deteriorate building materials. Orient unit such
that flue gas will not affect building materials. Locate mechanical draft system flue assembly at least 48-in. (1220 mm) from
an adjacent building or combustible material.
NOTE: Installation of accessory flue discharge deflector kit will
reduce the minimum clearance to combustible material to 18-in.

Step 11 — Install Gas Piping
Installation of the gas piping must be in accordance with local
building codes and with applicable national codes. In U.S.A.,
refer to NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC). In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the
CAN/CSA B149.1 and CAN/CSA B149.2 installation codes
for gas burning appliances.

This unit is factory-equipped for use with natural gas (NG) fuel
at elevations up to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. Unit may
be field converted for operation at elevations above 2000 ft
(610 m) and/or for use with liquefied petroleum fuel. See accessory kit installation instructions regarding these accessories.
NOTE: Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for installation up
to 2000 ft (610 m) above sea level. In U.S.A. the input rating for
altitudes above 2000 ft (610 m) must be derated by 4% for each
1000 ft (305 m) above sea level. In Canada the input rating must
be derated by 10% for altitudes of 2000 ft (610 m) to 4500 ft
(1372 m) above sea level.
For natural gas applications, gas pressure at unit gas connection must not be less than 4 in. wg (996 Pa) or greater than
13 in. wg (3240 Pa) while the unit is operating. On 48LCF/N/
T*05-06 (high-heat) units, the gas pressure at unit gas connection must not be less than 5 in. wg (1245 Pa) or greater than
13 in. wg (3240 Pa) while the unit is operating. For liquified
petroleum applications, the gas pressure must not be less than
11 in. wg (2740 Pa) or greater than 13.0 in. wg (3240 Pa) at the
unit connection. See Tables 3 and 4.

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage.
When connecting the gas line to the unit gas valve, the in-
staller MUST use a backup wrench to prevent damage to
the valve.
Install a gas supply line that runs to the unit heating section.
Refer to the NFPA 54/NFGC or equivalent code for gas pipe
sizing data. Do not use a pipe size smaller than
gas supply line to allow for a maximum pressure drop of
0.5 in. wg (124 Pa) between gas regulator source and unit gas
valve connection when unit is operating at high-fire flow rate.
The gas supply line can approach the unit in three ways: horizontally from outside the unit (across the roof), thru-curb/under
unit basepan (accessory kit required) or through unit basepan
(factory-option or accessory kit required). Consult accessory
kit installation instructions for details on these installation
methods. Observe clearance to gas line components per
Fig. 20.
