Installation Onto Curb
The 50PG units are designed to fit on the accessory full perimeter
curb. In either case, correct placement of the unit onto the curb is
critical to operating performance. To aid in correct positioning,
place unit on roof curb to maintain 1/4-in. gap between the inside
of rail and roof curb on long sides and a 1/2-in. gap between the
inside of rail and roof curb on both duct and condenser ends.
Refer to Fig. 1--4, to assure proper duct opening alignment.
NOTE: Make sure the bottom drain condensate connection plug
is tight before installing unit on curb. See Step 6 — Install
External Trap for Condensate Drain.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.
Do not slide unit to position when it is sitting on the curb.
Curb gasketing material may be damaged and leaks may
result.
CAUTION
!
Slab Mount (Horizontal Units Only)
Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6-in.
beyond unit cabinet. Install a gravel apron in front of
condenser-coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage from
obstructing airflow.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if
required.
Step 4 —Field Fabricate Ductwork
On vertical units, secure all ducts to roof curb and building
structure. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal
applications, field-supplied flanges should be attached to
horizontal discharge openings and all ductwork secured to the
flanges. Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints,
and roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in accordance
with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be
insulated and covered with a vapor barrier.
If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return should be
ducted through the roof deck to comply with applicable fire
codes.
A minimum clearance is not required around ductwork. Cabinet
return-air static pressure (a negative condition) shall not exceed
0.35 in. wg with economizer or 0.45 in. wg without economizer.
Step 5 —Make Unit Duct Connections
Vertical Supply/Return Configuration
Unit is shipped in vertical supply/return configuration. Ductwork
openings are shown in Fig. 1--4. Attach the ductwork to the roof
curb. Do not attach duct directly to the unit.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
For vertical supply and return units, tools or parts could
drop into ductwork and cause an injury. Install a
90--degree turn in the return ductwork between the unit
and the conditioned space. If a 90--degree elbow cannot
be installed, then a grille of sufficient strength and
density should be installed to prevent objects from
falling into the conditioned space.
!WARNING
Units with electric heat require a 1-in. clearance for the first 24 in.
of ductwork. Outlet grilles must not lie directly below unit
discharge.
NOTE: A 90-degree elbow must be provided in the supply
ductwork to comply with UL (Underwriters’ Laboratories) codes
for use with electric heat.
Horizontal Supply/Return Applications (Sizes 08--14 Only)
Unit can be field-converted from vertical supply/return to
horizontal supply/return. Remove all screws securing horizontal
duct covers to duct panel. Save panels. Apply a bead of RTV
around flange of cover (painted side). Install duct covers in the
vertical duct openings in the basepan with the insulation side up.
Covers will drop into openings and can be secured using
field-supplied self-tapping screws. Ductwork can be attached to
duct flanges provided on unit. When securing ductwork to unit,
do not drill in area below bead or above top edge of duct
opening.
NOTE: On the 16 size, an accessory is available
(CRHORZON005AA00) to convert from vertical supply/return
to horizontal. Follow instructions provided with kit.
Step 6 —Install External Trap for Condensate
Drain
The unit’s 3/4-in. condensate drain connections are located on the
bottom and side of the unit. If the down drain is used, drill a
minimum of a 5/8-in. diameter hole but not larger than a 3/4-in.
diameter hole through the drain pan. A dimple of 2 mm in
diameter and 1.5 mm deep will be provided in the drain pan to
help locate the drill bit and to start the hole. Do not cut through
the PVC pipe threads. Unit discharge connections do not
determine the use of drain connections; either drain connection
can be used with vertical or horizontal applications. See Fig. 3
and 4 for locations.
When using the standard side drain connection, make sure the
plug (red) in the alternate bottom connection is tight before
installing the unit. (See Fig. 8.)
To use the bottom drain connection for a roof curb installation,
relocate the factory-installed plug (red) from the bottom
connection to the side connection. A 1/2-in. socket extension can
be used to remove the plug. (See Fig. 8.) The piping for the
condensate drain and external trap can be completed after the unit
is in place.
All units must have an external trap for condensate drainage.
Install a trap at least 4-in. deep and protect against freeze-up. If
drain line is installed downstream from the external trap, pitch the
line away from the unit at 1-in. per 10 ft of run. Do not use a pipe
size smaller than the unit connection (3/4-in.). (See Fig. 9 and 10.)
The 50PG units are provided with a removable condensate pan
for ease of cleaning. It is recommended that a union be placed
between the unit and condensate drainage to ease the removal of
the pan during servicing. Adequate clearance should be allowed if
removal of condensate pan is required. Allow 64 in. (08-14) or
93-in. (16) between condensate pan access panel and any
obstruction for complete removal.
