INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS R−22 Split System Heat Pump
INSPECT NEW UNIT
After uncrating unit, inspect thoroughly for hidden
damage. If damage is found, notify the transportation
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the
dealer/distributor for information and assistance. The
qualified installer must use factory authorized kits and
accessories when modifying this product. Refer to the
individual instructions packaged with the kit or accessory
when installing.
The weight of the product requires careful and proper
handling procedures when lifting or moving to avoid
personal injury. Use care to avoid contact with sharp or
pointed edges.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective
clothing, and work gloves. Use a heat sinking material −
such as a wet rag − during brazing operations. Keep a fire
extinguisher available. Consult local codes and the
National Electric Code (NEC) for special requirements.
LOCATION
Check local codes for regulations concerning zoning,
noise, platforms, and other issues.
Locate unit away from fresh air intakes, vents, or
bedroom windows. Noise may carry into the openings
and disturb people inside.
Locate unit in a well drained area, or support unit high
enough so that water runoff will not enter the unit.
Locate unit away from areas where heat, lint, or exhaust
fumes will be discharged onto unit (as from dryer vents).
company immediately and file a concealed damage
claim.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can void the warranty.
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to turn off the main (remote) electrical dis-
connect device could result in personal injury or
death.
Before installing, modifying or servicing system,
turn OFF the main (remote) electrical disconnect
device. There may be more than one disconnect
device. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable
warning label.
Locate unit away from recessed or confined areas where
recirculation of discharge air may occur (refer to
CLEARANCES section of this document).
Roof−top installation is acceptable providing the roof will
support the unit and provisions are made for water
drainage and noise/vibration dampening.
NOTE: Roof mounted units exposed to wind may require
wind baffles. Consult the manufacturer for additional
information.
WARNING
CLEARANCES
Nominal minimum clearances are 48 inches (1.2m)
above unit for discharge air and 18 inches (457mm) on
each side of the coil for intake air. Clearance on any one
side of the coil (normally between unit and structure) may
be reduced to 6 inches (152mm). Nominal minimum
clearances are based on a solid parallel object such as a
wall or roof overhang.
The clearance may be reduced for a single object with
small surface area, such as the end of a wall, outside
corner of a wall, fence section, post, etc. As a general
rule, the minimum clearance from the unit should equal
the width of the object. For example, a 6 inch (152mm)
fence post should be a minimum of 6 inches (152mm)
from the unit.
Do not install unit under roof overhangs unless gutters are
present. A minimum vertical clearance of 48 inches
(1.2m) is required to the overhang.
Inside corner locations on single story structures require
evaluation. Large overhanging soffits may cause air
recirculation in a corner area even though recommended
minimum clearances are maintained. As a guide, locate
the unit far enough out so that half of the discharge grille is
out from under the soffit.
When placing two or more units side−by−side, provide a
minimum of 18 inches (457mm) between units.
Provide minimum service clearance of 24 inches
(610mm) from control box corner and side service panel.
Refer to Figure 1.

UNIT SUPPORT
NOTE: Unit must be level 2 degrees { inch rise or fall
per foot of run (10mm rise or fall per 305 mm of run) } or
compressor may not function properly.
A. GROUND LEVEL INSTALLATION
The unit must be level and supported above grade by
beams, platform, or a pad. P latform or pad c an b e o f open or
solid construction but should be of permanent materials
such as concrete, bri cks, b lo cks, s teel, o r p ressure − treated
timbers approv ed for ground cont act. Soil condit ions must
be considered so that the platform or pad does not shift or
settle and leave the unit partially supported. Minimum pad
dimensions are shown in Figure 2.
If beams or an open platform are used for support, it is
recommended that the soil be treated or area be graveled
to reduce the growth of grasses and weeds.
To minimize vibration or noise transmission, it is
recommended that supports not be in contact with the
building structure. However, slabs on grade constructions
with an extended pad are normally acceptable.
!
CAUTION
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage.
Top surface of platform must be above estimated snowfall level to prevent snow blocking coil and to allow water
melt to drain from unit.
B. ROOF TOP INSTALLATION
This type of installation is not recommended on wood
frame structures where low noise levels are required.
Supporting structure or platform for the unit must be level.
If installation is on a flat roof, locate unit minimum 6 inches
(152mm) above roof level.
Place the unit over one or more load bearing walls. If there
are several units, mount them on platforms that are
self−supporting and span several load bearing walls. These
suggestions are to minimize noise and vibration
transmission through the structure. If the structure is a home
or apartment, avoid locating the unit over bedrooms or study .
NOTE: When unit is to be installed on a bonded
guaranteed roof, a release must be obtained from the
building owner to free the installer from all liabilities.
C. FASTENING UNIT DOWN
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached in
place, remove the knockouts in the base pan and install
tie down bolts through the holes (refer to Figure 2).
Contact local distributor for hurricane hold−down details and
the P.E. (Professional Engineer) certification, when required.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
A. COMPONENT MATCHES
Check to see that the proper system components are in
place, especially the indoor coil.
R−22 outdoor units can only be used with R−22 specific
indoor coils. If there is a refrigerant mis−match, consult
the indoor coil manufacturer to determine if a refrigerant
conversion kit is available for the indoor coil.
This outdoor unit is designed for use only with indoor coils
that utilize a TXV refrigerant metering device. If any other
type of metering device is installed on the indoor coil,
consult the indoor coil manufacturer to determine if a TXV
conversion kit is available.
!
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product
damage.
Indoor coil and outdoor unit must be listed as a
certified combination (match) in the ARI Unitary
Directory of Certified Products.
Indoor coil must have R−22 specific, TXV refrigerant metering device.
When installing a TXV on an indoor coil, follow the
instructions provided with the new TXV.
A typical TXV installation is shown in Figure 3.
CAUTION
B. REFRIGERANT LINE SETS
The refrigerant line set must be properly sized to assure
maximum efficiency and proper oil circulation.
Refer to Product Specifications and Long Line
Applications Guideline for line set sizing.
NOTE: Total line set length must not exceed 200 feet
(61m).
NOTE: A crankcase heater must be used when the
refrigerant line length exceeds 80 feet (24.4m).
If outdoor unit is more than 10 feet (3m)higher than the
indoor coil, refer to the Long Line Applications Guideline
for instructions.
NOTE: When the outdoor unit is higher than the indoor
coil, the vertical separation must not exceed 100 feet
(30m).
NOTE: When the outdoor unit is lower than the indoor
coil, the vertical separation must not exceed 50 feet
(15.2m).
If it is necessary to add refrigerant line in the field, use
dehydrated or dry, sealed, deoxidized, copper
refrigeration tubing. Do not use copper water pipe.
Do not remove rubber plugs or caps from copper tubing
until connections are ready to be made.
Be extra careful when bending refrigeration tubing.
Tubing can “kink” easily, and if this occurs, the entire
length of tubing must be replaced.

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to relieve system pressure could result in
personal injury and/or death.
Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before
servicing existing equipment, and before final unit
disposal. Use all service ports and open all flow−
control devices, including solenoid valves.
!
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in improp-
er product operation.
Do not leave system open to atmosphere any lon-
ger than absolutely required for installation. Internal system components − especially refrigerant
oils − are extremely susceptible to moisture contamination. Keep ends of tubing sealed during
installation until the last possible moment.
