INSPECTION
As soon as a coil is received, it should be inspected for possible damage during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damage
should be noted on the carrier’s delivery receipt. A separate request for
inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in writing. See Local
Distributor for more information. Check drain pan for cracks or breakage.

SECTION III: COIL METERING DEVICES
The coil will require a TXV to be installed in the field. Refer to installation manual with TXV kit. It is recommended to install the TXV kit prior
to installation of coil and brazing line sets.
TXV METERING DEVICE
Please refer to Tables 1 and 2 to verify proper and recommended line
set sizes and that this is a valid system match for the AC or HP unit
installed.
The temperature sensing bulb should be attached to the suction line
set. Refer to Figure 3.
For models that have factory installed TXV’s, take caution not to apply
high temperatures to the TXV assembly or equalizer line while brazing.

Relieve pressure by depressing schrader core. Coil may have factory
installed TXV or may require TXV to be added. See outdoor unit documentation for correct TXV to be used. Refer to coil nameplate for
TXV identification for this unit.
The coil should be open to the air for no more than 2 minutes to keep
moisture and contaminates from entering the system. If the coil cannot be brazed into the refrigeration system in that time, the ends
should be temporarily closed or plugged. For a short term delay, use
masking tape over the ends of the copper tubing to close the tube to
the air. For a longer term delay, use plugs or caps. There is no need
to purge the coil if this procedure is followed.
900590-UIM-B-0613
COIL INSTALLATION
These horizontal coils are designed for installation with a horizontal
(gas or oil fired) furnace or modular blower. A minimum 45° transition
must be field fabricated to allow proper air distribution through the coil.
Airflow direction must be as shown in Figure 4.
Connect ductwork/transition only to coil duct flanges. DO NOT drill
holes in coil cabinet.

DRAIN PAN EXTENSION INSTALLATION
These coils are shipped with a drain pan extension fastened to the air
leaving side duct flanges. Drain pan extension must be removed.
coil and refasten the extension to the air leaving side of the coil drain
pan as shown in Figure 5, before completing ductwork. The extension
will extend into the duct work as shown.

FIGURE 5: Drain Pan Extension Installation
SECTION IV: DUCT CONNECTIONS
This coil is suited for horizontal applications only.
The vast majority of problems encountered with combination heating
and cooling systems can be linked to improperly designed or installed
duct systems. It is therefore highly important to the success of an installation that the duct system be properly designed and installed.
Use flexible duct collars to minimize the transmission of vibration/noise
into the conditioned space.
Use 1/2" screws to connect ductwork to unit. If pilot holes are drilled,
drill only through field duct and unit flange.
Where return air duct is short, or where sound may to be a problem,
sound absorbing glass fiber should be used inside the duct. Insulation
of duct work is a must where it runs through an unheated space during
the heating season or through an uncooled space during the cooling
season. The use of a vapor barrier is recommended to prevent absorption of moisture from the surrounding air into the insulation. The supply
air duct should be properly sized by use of a transition to match unit
opening. All ducts should be suspended using flexible hangers and
never fastened directly to the structure. Duct work should be fabricated
and installed in accordance with local and/or national codes. This
includes the standards of the National Fire Protection Association for
Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, NFPA No. 90B.
Equipment should never be operated without filters.

SECTION V: CONDENSATE DRAIN
CONNECTIONS
All drain lines should be pitched away from unit drain pan and should be
no smaller than the coil drain connection.
Route the drain line so that it doesn’t interfere with accessibility to the
coil, furnace, air handling system or filter and will not be exposed to
freezing temperatures.
Instruct the owner that the evaporator coil drain pan should be
inspected and cleaned regularly to prevent odors and assure proper
drainage.
When the coil is installed in an attic or above a finished ceiling, an
auxiliary drain pan must be provided under the coil as is specified by
most local building codes.
Coils should be installed level or pitched slightly toward the drain end.
Suggested pitch should not exceed 1/4-inch per foot of coil.
If the coil is provided with a secondary drain it should be piped to a location that will give the occupant a visual warning that the primary drain is
clogged. If the secondary drain is not used it must be capped.
Avoid Double Trapping.
Threaded drain connections should be hand tightened, plus no more
than 1 turn.
DO NOT
sealant may cause damage and premature failure of the drain pan.
use TeflonTM tape, “pipe dope”, or other sealants. The use of a
If the coil is installed in a draw-thru application (modular air handler),
it is recommended to trap the primary and secondary drain line. If the
secondary drain line is not used, it must be capped.
Connect lines as follows:
Route the refrigerant lines to the coil in a manner that will not obstruct
service access to the coil, air handling system, furnace flue or filter.
1.Suction and liquid line connections are made outside the cabinet.
Leave the tubing connection panel attached to the cabinet with the
tubes protruding through it. The lines are swedged to receive the
field line set tubes.
2.Wrap a water soaked rag around the coil connection tubes.
3.Remove grommets where tubes exit the cabinet to prevent burning
them during brazing.
4.Purge refrigerant lines with dry nitrogen.
5.Braze the suction and liquid lines.
6.Re-attach the grommets to the lines carefully to prevent air leakage.
7.Install the TXV Bulb to the suction line set, Figure 3 and wrap with
insulation.
Refer to Outdoor unit Installation Manual for evacuation, leak check and
charging instructions.
Lines should be sound isolated by using appropriate hangers or strapping.
All evaporator coil connections are copper-to-copper and should be
brazed with a phosphorous-copper alloy material such as Silfos-5 or
equivalent. DO NOT use soft solder.
SECTION VII: COIL CLEANING
If the coil needs to be cleaned, it should be washed with Calgon CalClean (mix one part CalClean to ten parts water). Allow solution to
remain on coil for 30 minutes before rinsing with clean water. Solution
should not be permitted to come in contact with painted surfaces.
SECTION VIII: AIR SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
To check the CFM, measure the static pressure drop across the coil
using a portable manometer and static pressure tips. To prepare coil for
static pressure drop measurements - the system should have been
recently operational in cooling mode.
SECTION VI: REFRIGERANT LINE
CONNECTION
Coil is under inert gas pressure. Relieve pressure from coil by
depressing schrader core.
Dry nitrogen should always be supplied through the tubing while it is
being brazed, because the temperature required is high enough to
cause oxidation of the copper unless an inert atmosphere is provided.
The flow of dry nitrogen should continue until the joint has cooled.
Always use a pressure regulator and safety valve to insure that only
low pressure dry nitrogen is introduced into the tubing. Only a small
flow is necessary to displace air and prevent oxidation.

Table 4 below has WET coil data. Run system for approximat ely 15
minutes in cooling mode prior to taking measurements.
Drill 2 holes, one 3" after the coil (before any elbows in the ductwork)
and one 3” before the coil. Insert the pressure tips and read the pressure drop from the manometer. See Table 4 to determine the air flow,
and make the necessary adjustments to keep the CFM within the air
flow limitations of the coil.
