This unique modular system allows the flexibility to handle any
application. These versatile MVC blowers may be used for
upflow, downflow, or horizontal left or right applications. They
may be combined with cased coils to function as a cooling only
unit or with a heat pump including electric heat for 1 and 3
phase applications.

FEATURES
COMMON MVC AIR HANDLER AND MATCH-UP CM COIL
Rigid Case Construction - An interior endoskeleton for
structural support, smooth side, and locks in insulation.
Powder-painted - G30 galvanized steel case provide a coated
edge that resists corrosion and rust creep.
Quality Construction - Structural components are made of
Aluminum or G90 galvanized steel to prevent corrosion.
Improved Insulation Design - Single piece with no external
screws to reduce thermal transmission paths to prevent
sweating. Foil faced insulation for ease of cleaning.
Case Depth - These models have 20.5” casing which provide
ease of attic access and tight applications.
MVC AIR HANDLERS
Factory Sealed - Achieves 2% or less total airflow leakage rate
at duct leakage test conditions in positive and negative
pressure for system airflow verification.
Electric Heat Kits - 6HK series of field installed electric heat
kits are available for installation-friendly and easy service
applications.
Blowers - All models use direct-drive, variable speed ECM
motors.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve - The accessory bolt-on TXV
provides easy installation to convert the indoor coil to the
required refrigerant that does not require brazing to replace or
install. Some models are available with factory installed TXV.
Thermoset Drain Pan - Low retention and positive slope for
drainage to reduce potential mold or contaminants.
Accessories - A full line of matching accessories available for
use with the blower and coils to provide for any type of
application.

TXV Kits - Air handlers are shipped with “Flex-coils” without a
factory installed metering device. For added flexibility, an R-22
or R-410A TXV or orifice can be field installed to meet your
refrigerant choice. All kits are bolt-on and require no brazing to
install.
Electric Heaters - 6HK models shown under electrical data
include sequential operation and temperature dual limit
switches for safe, efficient operation. Service disconnects are
provided where shown.
SINGLE SOURCE POWER ACCESSORIES (SINGLE PHASE)
S1-02435670000For heat kits with 2 service disconnects.
S1-02435671000For heat kits with 3 service disconnects.
SINGLE SOURCE POWER ACCESSORY (THREE PHASE)
S1-32436041000
Bottom Rack Filter Kit - The filter frame accessory allows
installation of an external air handler filter in an upflow
application, a downflow application, or a horizontal application
(refer to the following illustration/table for Filter Rack
Dimensions).
Combustible Floor Base Accessory - If an electric heat
accessory which is rated for greater than zero clearance to
combustible surfaces is installed in these air handlers in the
downflow operating positions on a combustible floor, one of the
following combustible floor base accessory models is required:
S1-1FB1917, S1-1FB1921, S1-1FB1924.
Breaker Moisture Seal Accessory - A clear service
disconnect moisture barrier seals the service disconnect(s)
from humidity and dust. The flexibility of the clear cover allows
service disconnects to be turned ON or OFF without removing
the cover. The cover firmly attaches to the access panel around
the service disconnects with the use of double backed adhesive
tape. To ensure that moisture or dust does not contaminate
service disconnects, an S1-02435672000 Cover Breaker
Moisture Seal may be ordered.
Johnson Controls Unitary Products11
Contains a terminal block and wiring to
connect service disconnects together.
Thermostat - Compatible thermostat controls are available
through accessory sourcing. For optimum performance, these
outdoor units are fully compatible with our York touch screen
thermostat with proprietary (patent-pending) hexagon interface.

1. Air handler units have been tested to UL 1995 / CSA 22.2 No.236 standards up to 0.50" WC. external static pressure.
Dry coil conditions only, tested without filters.
For optimal performance, external static pressures of 0.2" to 0.5" are recommended. Heating applications tested at 0.50” w.c. esp. Above 0.5" CFM is reduced by
2% per 0.1" increase in static.
2. Low speed cooling used only with two stage outdoor units. Low Speed is preset to 65% of high speed. The MVC12C uses 65% for Tap A, 77% for Tap B, 89% for
Tap C, 75% for Tap D.
3. The ADJ tap does not affect the HEAT tap setting.
Dehumidification speed is 85% of jumper selected COOL tap and ADJUST tap.
At some settings, LOW COOL and/or LOW HEAT airflow may be lower than what is required to operate an airflow switch on certain models of electronic air cleaners.
Consult the instructions for the electronic air cleaner for further details.
Airflow (CFM) indicator light (LED2) flashes once for every 100 CFM (i.e.: 12 flashes is 1200 CFM) - blinks are approximate +/- 10% of actual CFM.
