Jobsite Survey
Complete the following checks before installation.
1. Consult local building codes and the NEC (National
Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70 for special installa-
tion requirements.
2. Determine unit location (from project plans) or select
unit location.
3. Check for possible overhead obstructions which may
interfere with unit lifting or rigging.
Step 1 — Plan for Unit Location
Select a location for the unit and its support system (curb
or other) that provides for the minimum clearances
required for safety. This includes the clearance to
combustible surfaces, unit performance and service access
below, around and above unit as specified in unit
drawings. See Fig. 2.
NOTE: Consider also the effect of adjacent units.
Unit may be installed directly on wood flooring or on Class

requirements. Unit operating weight is shown in Table 1.
Step 2 — Plan for Sequence of Unit Installation
The support method used for this unit will dictate different
sequences for the steps of unit installation. For example,
on curb--mounted units, some accessories must be
installed on the unit before the unit is placed on the curb.
Review the following for recommended sequences for
installation steps.
Curb--mounted installation —
Install curb
Install field--fabricated ductwork inside curb
Install accessory thru--base service connection package
(affects curb and unit) (refer to accessory installation
instructions for details)
Prepare bottom condensate drain connection to suit
planned condensate line routing (refer to Step 9 for
details)
Rig and place unit
Install outdoor air hood
Install condensate line trap and piping
Make electrical connections
Install other accessories
Pad--mounted installation —
Prepare pad and unit supports
Check and tighten the bottom condensate drain
connection plug
Rig and place unit
Convert unit to side duct connection arrangement
Install field--fabricated ductwork at unit duct openings
Install outdoor air hood
Install condensate line trap and piping
Make electrical connections
Install other accessories
Frame--mounted installation —
Frame--mounted applications generally follow the
sequence for a curb installation. Adapt as required to
suit specific installation plan.
Step 3 — Inspect unit
Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim
with transportation agency.
Confirm before installation of unit that voltage, amperage
and circuit protection requirements listed on unit data
plate agree with power supply provided.
Step 4 — Provide Unit Support
Roof Curb Mount —
Accessory roof curb details and dimensions are shown in
Fig. 3. Assemble and install accessory roof curb in
accordance with instructions shipped with the curb.
NOTE: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with
the roof curb as shown in Fig. 3. Improperly applied
gasket can also result in air leaks and poor unit
performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to
function properly. Unit leveling tolerances are show in
Fig. 4. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation
Instructions for additional information as required.
Install insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter
flashing as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb and
not to the unit. The accessory thru--the--base power package
must be installed before the unit is set on the roof curb.
If electric and control wiring is to be routed through the
basepan, attach the accessory thru--the--base service
connections to the basepan in accordance with the
accessory installation instructions.
Slab Mount (Horizontal Units Only) —
Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of
6 in. (150 mm) 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.
Alternate Unit Support (In Lieu of Curb or Slab
Mount) —
A non--combustible sleeper rail can be used in the unit curb
support area. If sleeper rails cannot be used, support the long
sides of the unit with a minimum of 3 equally spaced 4--in. x
4--in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side.

Step 5 — Field Fabricate Ductwork
Cabinet return-air static pressure (a negative condition)
shall not exceed 0.35 in. wg (87 Pa) with economizer or
0.45 in. wg (112 Pa) without economizer.
For vertical ducted applications, secure all ducts to roof
curb and building structure. Do not connect ductwork to
unit.
Insulate and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints,
and roof openings with counter flashing and mastic in
accordance with applicable codes.
Ducts passing through unconditioned spaces 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.
For Units with Accessory Electric Heaters —
Horizontal applications require a minimum clearance to
combustible surfaces of 1--in (25 mm) from duct for first
12--in (305 mm) away from unit. Vertical applications do not
require a minimum clearance.
Minimum clearance is not required around ductwork.
Outlet grilles must not lie directly below unit discharge.
NOTE: A 90--degree elbow must be provided in the
ductwork to comply with UL (Underwriters Laboratories)
code for use with electric heat.
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury.
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. Due to
electric heater, supply duct will require 90--degree
elbow.
!WARNING
Step 6 — Rig and Place Unit
Keep unit upright and do not drop. Spreader bars are not
required if top crating is left on unit. Rollers may be used to
move unit across a roof. Level by using unit frame as a
reference. See Table 1 and Fig. 5 for additional information.
Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig. 5.
Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
