7.Complete electrical and blower speed connections as outlined in
other sections of this document.
Use 1/2" screws to connect ductwork to bottom of unit. Longer
screws will pierce the drain pan and cause leakage. If pilot holes
are drilled, drill only though field duct and unit bottom flange.
Air supply and return may be handled in one of several ways best
suited to the installation. See Figure 3 for dimensions for duct inlet and
outlet connections.
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. If electric heat is used, non-flammable
material must be used.
Where return air duct is short, or where sound may 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. This unit is not
designed for non-ducted (freeblow) applications. Size outlet plenum or
transition to discharge opening sizes shown in Figure 3.
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.
AIR FILTERS
Air filters and filter racks must be field supplied.
.
Equipment should never be operated without filters.
SUSPENSION KITS
A suspension kit is available. Models 1BH0601 (unit size 018-060) is
designed specifically for the units contained in this instruction (upflow
application only). For installation of these accessory kits, see the
instructions packed with the kit.

262675-UIM-A-0806
HORIZONTAL SUSPENSION
For suspension of these units in horizontal applications, it is recommended to use angle steel support brackets with threaded rods, supporting the units from the bottom, at the locations shown in Figure 4.
SUSPENSION SUPPORT LOCATIONS FOR HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS
If the air handler requires electric heat, install the electric heat kit
according to the installation instructions included with the kit. After
installing the kit, mark the air handler nameplate to designate the heater
kit that was installed. If no heater is installed, mark the name plate
appropriately to indicate that no heat kit is installed.
The HEAT ENABLE jumper (See Figure 5) must be moved to the HEA T
position to enable operation of the heater.
Use only 4HK heater kits, as listed on Air Handler name plate and in
these Instructions. Use data from Tables 11 through 18 for information
on required minimum motor speed tap to be used for heating operation,
maximum over-current protection device required and minimum electrical supply wiring size required for listed combination of Air Handler and
Heater Kit.
For Upflow, Downflow and Horizontal right hand applications the kits
can be installed without modification.
Field modification is required for Horizontal left-hand airflow application
only. Follow instructions with heater for modification.
