There is no conversion required to reverse from right to left application. Attach the duct flanges to the discharge side of the unit. If the coil and furnace combination are not similar in depth and width, use a field-supplied transition to center the furnace and coil openings (see figure 3). The supplied Z-bracket attachment should be used to attach the coil to a narrower furnace when the furnace is one size smaller than the coil (i.e. coil height = 17.5-inches and furnace width = 14-inches) (See figure 3). Figure 3a indicates incorrect coil/furnace attach­ment method.
Duct Flange Att achment
1. Remove the shipping bracket spanning the A-Coil apex to the rear of the wrapper on all models prior to installa­tion.
2. The bottom duct flange for the supply plenum side is shipped unattached. Carefully insert the flange into bot­tom rail and use a 5/16" screw to attach at the middle of the flange.

Condensate Drain Piping
When coils are installed above ceilings, or in other locations where damage from condensate overflow may occur, it is MAN- DATORY to install a field-fabricated auxiliary drain pan under the coil cabinet enclosure. Drain lines from the auxiliary pan must be installed and terminated so that the homeowner can see water discharges.
The coil drain pan has a primary and an optional secondary drain with 3/4" NPT female connections. The connectors re­quired can be 3/4" NPT male either PVC or metal pipe and should be hand tightened to a torque of no more than 37 in-lbs. to prevent damage to the drain pan connection. An insertion depth between .355 to .485 inches (3-5 turns) should be ex­pected at this torque. If using a copper drain line, solder a short piece of pipe to the connector before installing a drain fitting. DO NOT over torque the 3/4” copper connector to the plastic drain connection.

1. Ensure drain pan hole is NOT obstructed.
2. To prevent potential sweating and dripping on finished space, it may be necessary to insulate the condensate drain line located inside the building. Use Armaflex® or similar material.
A Secondary Condensate Drain Connection has been provided for areas where the building codes require it. Pitch the drain line 1/4" per foot to provide free drainage. Insulate drain lines (primary and secondary) located inside the building to prevent sweating. Install a condensate trap in the primary drain line to ensure proper drainage. If the secondary line is required, run the line separately from the primary drain and end it where it can be easily seen.
NOTE: Water coming from this line means the coil primary drain is plugged and needs clearing.

CAUTION
If secondary drain is not installed, the secondary access must be plugged.
NOTE: Trapped lines are required by many local codes. In the absence of any prevailing local codes, please refer to the requirements listed in the Uniform Mechanical Building Code.
A drain trap in a draw-through application prevents air from being drawn back through the drain line during fan operation thus preventing condensate from draining, and if connected to a sewer line to prevent sewer gases from being drawn into the airstream during blower operation. In a blow-through applica­tion the drain trap prevents conditioned air from escaping. It is permissible in this application to use a shallow trap design sometimes referred to as a running trap.

The depth of a running trap (Figure 5) should be either 1" or a depth that permits unrestricted condensate drainage without excessive air discharge.
Field experience has shown condensate drain traps with an open vertical Tee between the air handler and the condensate drain trap can improve condensate drainage in some applica­tions, but may cause excessive air discharge out of the open Tee. The manufacturer does not prohibit this type of drain but we also do not recommend it due to the resulting air leakage. Regardless of the condensate drain design used, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the condensate drain sys­tem is of sufficient design to ensure proper condensate re­moval from the coil drain pan.

WARNING
A quenching cloth is strongl y recommended to prevent scorching or marring of the equipment finish when welding close to the painted surfaces. Use brazing alloy of 5% minimum silver content.
All cut ends are to be round, burr free, and cleaned. Any other condition increases the chance of a refrigerant leak. Use a pipe cutter to remove the closed end of the spun closed suc­tion line.
To avoid overheating after brazing, quench all welded joints with water or a wet rag.
For the correct tubing size, follow the specification for the con­denser/heat pump
WARNING
The coil is shipped under press ure. Follow these instructions to prev ent in ju ry.
CAUTION
Applying too much heat to any tube can melt the tube. Torch heat required to braze tubes of various sizes must be proportiona l to the s ize of th e tub e. S erv ice p ersonn el m u st use the appropriate heat level for the size of the tube being brazed.
NOTE: Tubes of smaller size require less heat to bring the tube to brazing temperature before adding brazing alloy. The use of a heat shield when brazing is recommended to avoid burning the serial plate or the finish on the unit.

Special Instructions
This coil comes equipped with a check style flowrator for refrig­erant management. For most installations with matching ap­plications, no change to the flowrator orifice is required. How­ever, in mix-matched applications, a flowrator change may be required. See the Piston Kit Chart or consult your local dis­tributor for details regarding mix-matched orifice sizing. If the mix-match application requires a different piston size, change the piston in the distributor on the indoor coil before installing the coil and follow the procedure shown below.
1. Loosen the 13/16 nut 1 TURN ONLY to allow high pres­sure tracer gas to escape. No gas indicates a possible leak.
2. After the gas has escaped, remove the nut and discard the plastic or brass cap.
3. Remove the check piston to verify it is correct and then replace the piston. See piston kit chart in instructions.
4. Use a tube cutter to remove the spin closure on the suc­tion line.
5. Slide the 13/16 nut into place on the tailpiece supplied in the literature bag or with the unit.
CAUTION
Excessive torque can cause or ifices to stick. Use the proper torque se tting s wh en tig h ten in g orific es .

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
This indoor coil contains the flowrator distributor assembly, which consists of a nut, distributor body, copper tubes feeding the coil, and the internal flow check piston. It is essential that the indoor and outdoor sections be properly matched. When matching the indoor coil with other than the matching outdoor section, the flow check piston in the indoor section MUST be changed to match with the outdoor section to obtain the rated performance as specified in our sales specification sheets. If a piston size is too small, it causes starving; if it is too large, it causes flooding. When using a combination that requires a different piston size, change the piston in the distributor on the indoor coil before installing the coil, and follow the procedure shown below.
1. Loosen the 13/16 nut 1 turn only to allow the high pressure tracer gas to escape. No gas indicates a possible leak.
2. After the gas has escaped, remove the nut and discard the cap.
3. Use a tube cutter to remove the spin closure on the suction connection.
4. Remove the tail piece clamped to the exterior and slide the 13/16 nut in place.
5. Braze the tail piece to the line set liquid tube.
6. Insert the suction line into the connection , slide the insulation and the rubber grommet at least 18" away from the braze joint.
7. After the tail piece has cooled, insert the seal and hand tighten the 13/16 nut.
