Jobsite Storage
This unit is intended for indoor use only. To protect the unit from
damage due to the elements and prevent it from possibly becoming a
contaminant source for IAQ problems, store the unit indoors. If indoor
storage is not possible, the Trane Company makes the following
provisions for outdoor storage:
1. Place the unit(s) on a dry surface or raised off the ground to assure
adequate air circulation beneath unit and to assure that no portion of
the unit contacts standing water at any time.
2. Cover the entire unit with a canvas tarp only. Do not use clear,
black or plastic tarps as they may cause excessive moisture condensation and equipment damage.
Note: Wet interior unit insulation can become an amplification site for
microbial growth (mold), which may cause odors and health-related
indoor air quality problems. If there is visable evidence of microbial
growth (mold) on the interior insulation, remove and replace the
insulation prior to operating the system. Refer to the Inspecting and
Cleaning the Internal Insulation section on page 123 for more
information.

Installation
Considerations
Complete the following checklist before installing the unit.
o 1. Clearances
Allow adequate space for free air circulation, service clearances,
piping and electrical connections, and any necessary ductwork. For
specific unit dimensions, refer to the submittals. Allow clearances
according to local and national electric codes. See the following
section on Service Access and refer to Figure 3 on page 12 for
recommended service and operating clearances. Provide removable
panels for concealed units.
o 2. Structural Support
The floor should be strong enough to adequately support floor
mounted units. The installer is responsible to supply adequate
support rods for installation of ceiling units.
o 3. Level
If necessary, prepare the floor or ceiling to ensure the unit installation
is level (zero tolerance) in both horizontal axis to allow proper
operation.
Set the unit level using the chassis end panels as a reference point.
Do not use the coil or drain pan as the reference point since the coil
is pitched and the drain pan has an inherent positive slope to provide
proper drainage.
o 4. Condensate Line
A continuous pitch of 1 inch per 10 feet of condensate line run is
necessary for adequate condensate drainage.
o 5. Wall and Ceiling Openings
Recessed units only:
Refer to the submittal for specific dimensions of wall or ceiling
openings before attempting to install the unit.
Horizontal concealed units only:
The installation of horizontal concealed units must meet the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) Standard 90A or 90B concerning the use of concealed ceiling spaces as
return air plenums.
o 6. Exterior
Touch up painted panels if necessary. If panels need paint, sanding
is not necessary. However, clean the surface of any oil, grease, or
dirt residue so the paint will adhere. Purchase factory approved touch
up epoxy paint from your local Trane Service Parts Center and apply.

o 2. Tighten unions adequately if unit has a factory deluxe piping
package.
o 3. Properly vent the hydronic coil to allow water flow through the
unit.
o 4. Set water flow to the unit properly if unit piping has the circuit
setter valve.
o 5. Check strainers (if supplied) for debris after applying system
water.
o 6. Install the auxiliary drain pan and route the main drain pan
hoses to the auxiliary drain pan on vertical fan-coil units.
o 7. Ensure all grille options are in place.
External Insulating
Requirements
o 8. Ensure the air filter is in place.
o 9. Set the damper position to allow the fresh air requirement on
units with a fresh air damper.
Note: Some circumstances may require the unit to run before building
construction is complete. These operating conditions may be beyond
the design parameters of the unit and may adversely affect the unit.
Insulate all cold surfaces to prevent condensation. Moisture mixed
with accumulated dirt and organic matter may create an amplification
site for microbial growth (mold) causing unpleasant odors and healthrelated indoor air quality (IAQ) problems.
The Trane Company recommends field-insulation of the following
areas to prevent potential condensate and IAQ problems:
1. Supply and return water piping connections
2. Condensate drain lines and connections
3. Fresh air intake duct connections
4. Discharge duct connections
5. Wall boxes

Piping Considerations
Before installing field piping to the coil, consider the following .
· All coil connections are 5/8 inch O.D. (or 1/2 inch nominal) female
copper connections.
· The supply and return piping should not interfere with the auxiliary
drain pan or condensate line. See Connecting the Condensate
Drain section on page 25 for more detailed information.
· The installer must provide adequate piping system filtration and
water treatment.
· Condensate may be an issue (fan-coils only) if field piping does not
have a control valve.
Refer to Figure 6 for supply and return header locations.
CAUTION: When using a field supplied piping

Note: For vertical fan-coil units, push the main condensate drain
hose and overflow condensate drain hose through to the inside of the
chassis end panel to prevent them from being burned when making
sweat connections. Be sure to pull the hoses back through and route
to the auxiliary drain pan when the end panel has cooled.
3. Solder the joint using bridgit lead-free solder (ASTM B32-89) to
provide a watertight connection. Avoid overheating factory soldered
joints when soldering field connections to the coil to prevent
leakage from occurring.
4. Insulate all piping to coil connections as necessary after connections are complete.
Note: Maintain a minimum distance of one foot between the reduction
fitting for the 1/2 inch diameter line and the fan-coil unit piping
connections.
Install the auxiliary drain pan, which ships in the accessory packet
CAUTION: In all steam coil installations, the con-
!
densate return connections must be at the low point of
the coil to ensure condensate flows freely from the coil
at all times. Failure to do so may cause physical coil
damage from water hammer, unequal thermal stresses,
freeze-up and/or corrosion.
1. Make piping connections to the steam coil as shown in Figure 7.
Cap the unused connection.
2. The coil is already pitched within the unit to provide proper pitch to
drain condensate out of the coil. Ensure that the unit has been
properly leveled. Refer to page 13 for unit leveling instructions.
3. Install a 1/2 inch, 15-degree swing check vacuum breaker in the
unused condensate return tapping as close as possible to the coil.
Figure 7. Steam coil header ports. The center port is the supply
connection. The return port is below the supply. The top port
must be closed off.
22 UNT-IOM-6
4. Vent the vacuum breaker line to atmosphere or connect it into the
return main at the discharge side of the steam trap.
5. Pitch all steam supply and return mains down a minimum of 1 inch
per 10 feet in the direction of flow.
6. Do not drain the steam mains or take-off through the coils. Drain
the mains ahead of the coils through a steam trap to the return line.
7. Overhead returns require 1 psig of pressure at the steam trap
discharge for each 2-foot elevation to ensure continuous condensate
removal.
8. Proper steam trap selection and installation is necessary for
satisfactory coil performance and service life. For installation, use the
following steps:
a. Locate the steam trap discharge at least 12 inches below the
condensate return connection. This provides sufficient hydrostatic
head pressure to overcome trap losses and ensure complete condensate removal.
b. Trane Company recommends using flat and thermostatic traps
because of gravity drain and continuous discharge operation.
c. Use float and thermostatic
traps with atmospheric pressure

Factory Piping
Package
Connections
Before installing water piping supply and return lines to factory
piping package, note the following items.
· All piping connections are 5/8 inch O.D. (1/2 inch nominal) female
copper connections.
Piping Considerations
Connecting Water Piping to
Factory Piping Package
· The fan-coil supply and return piping should not interfere with the
auxiliary drain pan or condensate line. See Connecting the
Condensate Drain section on page 25 for more information.
· The installer must provide adequate piping system filtration and
water treatment.
· If the unit has a factory deluxe piping package, the piping includes
a strainer with a 20 mesh size screen, which allows minimal
protection from debris. Therefore, clean the strainer regularly.
NOTE: Maintain a minimum distance of one foot between the
reduction fitting for the 1/2 inch diameter line and the fan-coil piping
connections.
1. The factory piping package ships with brackets to adequately
support the piping during shipment. Remove these brackets before
connecting water piping to the unit. See Figure 9.
2. Close the piping end valves to the fully open position to prevent
damage to the valve seat during brazing.
3. Remove the auxiliary drain pan, if it is in place, to prevent exposure to dripping solder or excessive temperatures.
4. Solder water piping connections to supply and return end
connections. Avoid overheating
factory soldered joints to
prevent the possibility of
leakage.
5. Insulate fan-coil piping to
auxiliary drain pan connections
and any piping that is not above
the auxiliary drain pan.
Figure 9. Remove the shipping
brackets which support the
factory piping package before
connecting piping.

Installing the
Auxiliary Drain
Pan
The auxiliary drain pan ships loose with a fan-coil unit with factory
piping. To install the auxiliary drain pan, insert the tabs, located on
the side of the drain pan, into the slots located in the chassis end
panel. Slide the pan into the narrow groove section to lock into place.
See Figures 10 and 11. Make sure the auxiliary pan is pushed all the
way into the fully locked position.
Note: The function of the auxiliary drain pan is to collect condensate
from the main drain pan and the factory installed piping package only.
It also provides a convenient field connection for the condensate
drain line for units without factory piping. Moreover, the auxiliary drain
pan may not be adequate to collect condensate from a field-installed
piping package. Apply additional insulation as needed.
Connecting the
Condensate Drain
Figure 10. Insert the auxiliary
drain pan tabs into these slots
in the fan-coil chassis end
panel.
1. De-burr the pipe end before making the connection to the drain pan.
2. Connect a 7/8 inch O.D. copper pipe or tube, with a 0.20 inch wall
thickness, to the auxiliary drain pan. This should be a mechanical
connection that allows easy removal of the auxiliary drain pan when
servicing the piping end pocket.
3. Slide the copper pipe over the drain pan nipple and tighten the
collar on the pipe with a hose clamp (installer supplied).
Maintain a continuous drain line pitch of 1 inch per 10 feet of drain line
run to provide adequate condensate drainage. Extend the drain line
straight from the drain pan a minimum distance of 6 inches before
making any turns. The installer must provide proper support for the
drain line to prevent undue stress on the auxiliary drain pan.
Install a secondary overflow drain line if necessary by punching out
the overflow drain nipple on the auxiliary drain pan. Next, place a 3/8

If the unit does not have a factory piping package, the factory attaches the sensor and coiled lead wires to the piping side end panel.
The installer should attach the sensor parallel to and in direct contact
with the supply water pipe.
Note: The installer is responsible to ensure the changeover sensor is
installed in a location that can sense active water temperature.
Otherwise, the unit may fail to sense the correct operating mode and
disable temperature control.
26 UNT-IOM-6
When using field supplied 3-way valves, position the changeover
sensor upstream of the valve on the supply water pipe.
Recommendation: When using field supplied 2-way control
valves, attach the changeover sensor in a location that will
detect an active water temperature. The unit must always be
able to sense the correct
system water temperature,
regardless of the control valve
position.
Note: The maximum length of
the automatic changeover wire
cannot exceed 10 feet from the
control panel. If the sensor
extends beyond the unit chassis,
use shielded conductors to
eliminate radio frequency
interference (RFI).

Automatic Electric
Heat Lockout
Switch (Fan-coil)
Two-pipe fan-coil units with auxiliary electric heat have an automatic
electric heat lockout switch that disengages the electric heat when
hydronic heat enables. If the unit has a factory piping package and
electric heat, the factory attaches the switch to the supply water
pipe. When the lockout switch detects the supply water temperature
above 95° F, it disengages the
electric heat. This eliminates
electric heat and hydronic heat
working simultaneously.
If the fan-coil unit does not have
a factory piping package, the
factory attaches the switch and
coiled lead wires to the piping
side end panel. The installer
should position the lockout
switch on the supply water line of
the unit by sliding its spring
connector over the pipe.
See Figure 15.

heat have an electric heat
lockout switch on the supply
water pipe.

Venting the Hydronic
Coil
The hydronic coil contains a vent, either manual or automatic, to
release air from the unit. This vent is not sufficient for venting the
water piping system in the building.
Locate the coil air vent on the piping side, above the coil connections
on the unit. Perform the following steps to vent the coil after installing
the unit. See Figure 16.
1. Pressurize the building piping system with water and vent any
trapped air at system vents.
2. For units with manual air vents, back the set screw out to expel air
from the unit and then re-tighten the set screw.
The automatic air vent should require no adjustment for the coil to
vent. However, if the coil does not vent immediately, unscrew the outer
portion of the fitting to expel air from the port.
If debris has become trapped in the vent, completely remove the outer
portion of the fitting and clean.
Figure 16. The hydronic coil air vent is above the coil
connections. A horizontal unit is on the left and a vertical on
the right.

Balancing The Manual
Circuit Setter Valve
The manual circuit setter valve is an optional end valve supplied on
the return pipe of the factory piping package. The valve allows the
operator to regulate water flow through the hydronic coil, balance the
water flow through the unit with other units in the piping system, and
serves as a shutoff or end valve. See Figure 17.
Follow the procedure below to set maximum water flow through the
coil.
1. Establish water flow through the coil. Perform an open override of
the valve if the control valve is closed to the coil, either manually or
®

.
If the piping package has 2-position, normally closed valves:
Drive open the valve using a 24V signal.
If the piping package has 2position, normally open
valves:
Manually drive open the valve by
removing power to the valve.
If the piping package has
modulating valves:
To manually drive the valve open,
depress the button stem on top
of the valve and push the lever
located on the side of the valve to

the full open position.
2. For presetting, use the appropriate valve curve shown in Figure 19
on page 30 to determine which setting is necessary to achieve the
appropriate pressure drop.
3. Carefully remove the Schrader pressure port connection caps on
the manual circuit setter, since they will be at the same temperature
as the pipeline.
4. Bleed all air from the hoses and meter before reading the pressure
drop. Refer to the gauge operating instructions.
5. Adjust the circuit setter valve by turning the valve stem until the
appropriate pressure drop is achieved. See Figure 18 on page 30.
6. After achieving the proper setting, slightly loosen the two socket
head cap screws and rotate the memory stop around until it
touches the back side of the indicator. Then tighten the screws to

securely set the open memory position. The memory stop indicates
the last set open position.
7.If using a 3-way valve: close the control valve to the coil, with the
differential pressure meter still
connected. This will divert flow to
the bypass side of a 3-way valve.
Adjust the balancing fitting to
obtain the same pressure drop
across the circuit setter valve as
in step 2 when the control valve
was open to the coil.
