INSTALLATION
Unpacking
1. Remove all packaging and any foreign material from
unit.
2. Check blower wheel for free rotation.
3. Check copper lines, coil etc. for internal or hidden
damage.
Return Air and Unit Orientation
Units may be positioned in several configurations
depending on the return air configuration selected—
see Figure 1.
NOTE: Right and left return units are not recom-
mended for horizontal installation.
Service Clearance
The fan coil is completely serviceable from the front.
Units are approved for 0” (zero inches) of clearance.
This allows substantial freedom in the positioning of
the unit to best serve the requirements of the struc-
ture.
Unit Support
Floor mounting: Unit may be mounted on a house-
keeping pad, floor, platform or plenum. Provide a suit-
able isolation pad to minimize sound transmission to
the structure.
CAUTION! Make sure to allow enough elevation to
permit construction of the condensate trap. Also
allow enough elevation and clearance for opening
the filter door (removes to the front). See Service
Clearances.
Install the unit so that it is level or pitches slightly –(1/8
inch) – toward the condensate drain connection.
Anchor the unit to the plenum or platform through the
bottom flange using 2ea #10 sheet metal screws on
each side (4 screws total).
Ceiling Suspension: Mount the unit in ceiling-
suspended horizontal orientation per suspension de-
tails (Figure 4a). Unit is NOT intended to be wall
mounted. Consult a qualified structural engineer for
special mounting considerations.
Install the unit so that it pitches slightly –(1/8 inch) –
toward the condensate drain connection.
Condensate Drain
Install a trapped condensate drain line at unit drain
connection. All DUC units have 3/4 in. FPT conden-
sate main and auxiliary drain connections.
Provide adequate trap clearance (trap depth) be-
neath the unit as indicated in Fig. 4a. Provide freeze-
protection as required to insure reliable condensate
drainage. Freeze protection measures are customer-
supplied and installed.
Pipe to condensate drain using PVC or copper or
other suitable material. Pitch drain piping downward
at a minimum slope of 1/8 inch per foot.
Pipe auxiliary drain to “tell tale” drain location or
floor drain to clearly indicate when condensate drain
service is required. Alternately, use a field-provided
condensate overflow detection device in the auxiliary
drain connection to provide alarm or other controls
action when the drain pan fills to the level of the aux-
iliary drain.
WARNING
INSURE THAT THE UNIT IS ADEQUATELY SUP-
PORTED FROM STRUCTURE TO PREVENT DAM-
AGE OR INJURY CAUSED BY FALLING EQUIP-
MENT!
If uncertain about how to connect to the struc-
ture, consult a qualified structural engineer.
Placing Unit In Ductwork
1. Utilize flexible transitions on supply and return con-
nections to reduce noise and vibration transmission
to the structure.
2. When the connecting return air duct is smaller than
the coil inlet opening, construct the transition piece
so that the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the
transition piece do not increase more then one inch
for every seven inches of length of the transition
piece.
3. Provide at least three feet of straight duct work pre-
ceding the unit inlet.
Duct Insulation and Vapor Proofing:
Properly select and install duct insulation as re-
quired by the application.
All externally insulated duct work must have an ade-
quate vapor seal for summer operation. This is par-
ticularly important where the duct is exposed to
highly humid conditions in such places as attics,
vented crawl spaces, unconditioned basements, and
utility rooms. The vapor seal prevents condensation
of moisture in the insulating material and subse-
quent loss of its insulating value.
MAINTAIN THESE DIMENSIONS FOR ADEQUATE TRAP SEAL:
A = 3.5” MINIMUM
B = 2.0” MINIMUM
NOTES:
1. CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPING RECOMMENDATIONS:
A. MINIMUM 3/4” Φ PIPE SIZE
B. COPPER OR PVC PIPE MATERIAL
C. USE DIELECTRIC UNION FOR DISSIMILAR METALS.
D. INSULATE PER PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS.
2. PAD OR PLENUM HEIGHT AS REQUIRED TO INSTALL TRAP AND CON-
DENSATE DRAIN PIPING.
3. AVOID BLOCKING FILTER SERVICE ACCESS WHEN INSTALLING CON-
DENSATE DRAIN PIPING.
