McQuay HiLine fan coil air conditioning units are designed
for use in multiple floor apartments, office buildings, hotels,
and other similar applications. They require a minimum
amount of floor space and one unit may do the job that
formerly required more than one conventional unit.
The 300 through 800 cfm, blow-through configuration units
described in this manual are designed to meet individual room
control requirements.Two-pipe and four-pipe systems are
available, with single, double, triple, and top discharge
arrangements. Optional equipment is available to provide
complete application flexibility.
Installation and maintenance must follow accepted industry
practices as described in the ASHRAE Handbook, the National
Electric Code, and other applicable s t a n da r d s . Install this
equipment in accordance with regulations of authorities having
jurisdiction and with all applicable codes.
Installation and maintenance must be performed by qualified
personnel familiar with applicable codes and regulations and
experienced with this type of equipment.
CAUTION
SHARP EDGES ON SHEET METAL AND COIL SURFACES
if not avoided could result in cuts.

Receiving and Handling
Carefully check items against the bills of lading to verify all
crates and cartons have been received. The units normally ship
four to a pallet.
Carefully inspect all units for shipping damage. Report
damage immediately to the carrier and file a claim.
Check the electrical nameplate to be sure it agrees with the
power supply available.
DO NOT handle units by the riser piping. Riser clamps hold
the riser in position; they are not designed to support the
cabinet weight. They are removed after the unit is installed.

Risers
Units are completely factory assembled and wired and have
individual thermostat controls. They are installed by stacking
one unit on top of the other. While installing, prevent dirt and
other foreign matter from entering the risers and plugging lines
or valves.

Installation
Cabinet
1 Lift and position unit in place directly above the unit on the
floor below. See Figure 2a.
2 Align riser extensions with risers on unit below.
3 If field-supplied isolator pads are used, install them now
before connecting risers.
4 Before anchoring the risers in place, center the horizontal
stubs protruding into the cabinet in the 3" (75 mm) slots in
the panel risers. This allows for riser expansion or
contraction of plus or minus one inch. Risers extend 5"
(127 mm) above the cabinet when the stub is centered in
the slot.
5 Anchor risers to the building structure to prevent vertical
riser movement greater than ±1" (25mm) due to riser
expansion or contraction. (Anchors by others).
CAUTION
The unit is not designed to support the weight of the risers.
Anchor them securely to the building structure.
6 With the unit in position, check that it is level to provide
proper condensate drainage and operation.
7 Connect supply and return risers to unit on floor below
(Figure 2c) by soldering slip couplings (reducing
couplings, if required, are not supplied by McQuay).
8 Join drain riser with coupling using PVC solvent cement on
both surfaces (or solder if riser is copper).
9 Apply insulation to risers and to cement joints between
units to avoid condensation problems. (Not provided by
McQuay).
10 After the unit is installed, remove the riser ties.
11 Restore the fire resistance rating of the structure to comply
with existing building codes, by sealing the access space
around the risers with material having the same fire rating
as the structure. Also provide a seal between floors to
prevent the passage of warm, humid air, which can cause
condensation on riser insulation. This is most critical in
unpressurized buildings with high infiltration rates.
12 Vent the coils. The vent is accessible from the return air
opening.
13 Before furring in unit, hydrostatically test the riser and unit
connection joints to make sure they are leakproof.
