IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABO T EFFICIENCY AND
INDOOR AIR Q ALITY
Central cooling and heating
equipment is only as efficient as the
duct system that carries the cooled or
heated air. To maintain efficiency,
comfort and good indoor air quality, it
is important to have the proper
balance between the air being
supplied to each room and the air
returning to the cooling and heating
equipment.
Proper balance and sealing of the
duct system improves the efficiency
of the heating and air conditioning
system and improves the indoor air
quality of the home by reducing the
amount of airborne pollutants that
enter homes from spaces where the
ductwork and/or equipment is
located. The manufacturer and the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s ENERGY STAR Program
recommend that central duct systems
be checked by a qualified contractor
for proper balance and sealing.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. IMPORTANT: If installing the unit
over a finished ceiling or living
area, be certain to install an
auxiliary condensate drain pan
under the entire unit. This
auxiliary drain pan should extend
under any evaporator coil
installed with the air handler and
the open portion of the
condensate drain assembly.
2. IMPORTANT: If using a cooling
evaporator coil with this air
handler:
Be sure the air passes over the
coil/pump before passing over
the cooling coil.
IMPORTANT: Support this unit
when installed. Since this air
handler is suitable for attic or
crawl space installations, it may
be installed on combustible wood
flooring or by using support
brackets. See Figure 5.
5. IMPORTANT: If installing in a
utility room, be sure the door
is wide enough to:
a. allow the largest part of the air
handler to pass; or
b. allow any other appliance
(such as a water heater)
to pass.
6. IMPORTANT: This air handler is
not approved or recommended
for installation on its back, with
access doors facing upwards
(see igure 3).
CLEARANCE -
ACCESSIBILITY
The design of air handlers with input
ratings as listed in the tables under
igure 4 are certified by UL for the
clearances to combustible materials
shown in inches.
See name/rating plate and clearance
label for specific model number and
clearance information.
Service clearance of at least 24” is
recommended in front of
all air handlers.
NOTE: Use recommended 24”
clearance if accessibility clearances
are greater than fire protection
clearances.
Air handlers are shipped with a
bottom closure panel installed.
When bottom return air is used,
remove the panel by removing the
two screws attaching the panel to
the front base angle.
SITE SELECTION
1. Select a site in the building near
the center of the proposed, or
existing, duct system.

SELECTION PROCED RE
(WITH EXAMPLE)
I. Define hot water load for the total
required domestic hot water
usage.
As an example, let’s assume that the
selected Tankless Water Heater for your
whole house solution is the RTG-74 and
your calculated heat gain and heat loss
values are as stated in section II.
II. Determine cooling and heating
requirements at design conditions:
The ACCA’s Manual J Residential Load
Calculation method is the established
trade standard, approved by ANSI, for
the correct siziing and selection of
Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning
and Refrigeration (HVACR) equipment in
residential homes. The most recent
revision is the eight edition, an all-
inclusive new approach to ensuring that
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) systems are as
efficient, safe, and healthy as possible.
Refer to the Air Conditioning Contractors
of America website at:
http://www.acca.org/tech/manualj/ or a
qualified HVACR contractor for further
assistance.
Assumptions:
Required Cooling Capacity . 48,000 BTU/HR
(Total Capacity)
Required Heating Capacity . 60,000 BTU/HR
Evaporator Air Quantity. . . . . . . . . 1600 C M
External Static Pressure . . . . . . . 0.2 in. W.C.
Electrical Characteristics . . . . . . . . . 115-1-60
III. Determine total external static
pressure (ESP) at design
conditions:
Before using the Airflow Performance
Table calculate the total static pressure
required. rom the given example, note
the Wet Coil Pressure Drop (selected
from the field supplied Evaporative
Cased Coil Installation Instructions), and
the ilter Pressure Drop. Determine both
static pressures at 1600 C M:
Wet Coil Pressure Drop . . . .0.3 in. W.C.
( rom Coil Manufacturer’s Installation Instructions)
External Static Pressure . . . 0.2 in. W.C.
(Ductwork, etc.)
ilter Pressure Drop . . . .08 in. W.C.
(.08 inches if the included filter is used; refer to
the filter’s manufacturer’s instructions if another
filter is used.)
Total Static Pressure. . . 0.58 in. W.C.
IV. Select unit based on required
cooling capacity airflow:
or an initial selection, choose a unit
size that will provide the required
airflow. Refer to Airflow Performance
Table. Note that at 0.6 ESP (external
static pressure) the
RW1T06A3617NAA unit will deliver
1560 C M when configured for HIGH
speed.
V. Select heating capacity of unit
to provide the requisite design
condition:
rom the Hydronic Air Handler/
Tankless Water Heater, note that the
unit RW1T06A3617NAA, (as selected
above) when matched with the RTG-
95 Tankless Water Heater, will
provide 59.2 MBH (59,200 BTU/HR)
at an input water temperature (to Air
Handler) of 150° .

D CTING
Proper air flow is required for the
correct operation of this air handler.
Too little air flow can cause erratic
operation and can damage the heat
exchanger. The duct system must
carry the correct amount of air for
heating and cooling if summer air
conditioning is used.
Size the ducts according to
acceptable industry standards and
methods. The total static pressure
drop of the air distribution system
should not exceed 0.8" w.c.
NOTE: Return air grilles and warm air
registers must not be obstructed
IMPORTANT:Some high efficiency
filters have a greater than normal
resistance to air flow. This can
adversely affect air handler operation.
BE SURE TO CHECK AIR LOW.
IMPORTANT: When using outside
air, design and adjust the system to
maintain a return air temperature
ABOVE 50° during the heating
season.

PL MBING
Codes:
The RW1T air handler is used in potable
water systems. Therefore, it is important
to observe all local sanitary codes when
installing water lines. The water supply
mating connection to the Hydronic Air
Handler is made via the two 3/4 in. dia.
copper stubs labeled “WATER IN” and
“WATER OUT” (see igure 1).
All associated hydronic piping MUST
comply with ICC, UPC and any other
local codes or ordinances having
jurisdiction. USE POTABLE GRADE
COPPER PIPING AND BRASS
APPURTENANCES ONLY.
Soldering Copper Tubing:
The common method of joining copper
tubing in hydronic heating systems is
soft soldering. Plumbing codes do not
allow solders containing lead to be used
for domestic water service. USE ONLY
95/5 tin/antimony solder for all piping
systems that incorporate a domestic
water supply.
NOTE: Precautions must be taken
during soldering to avoid debris or
solder from lodging in piping system.
Water Storage Tank:
When connecting directly to a water
storage tank it is necessary to ensure
the water flow rate does not become
excessive. Excessive water flow can
result in increased system noise and
potential system damage. In order to
regulate the flow it is required that an
adjustable valve be placed between the
air handler outlet and the storage tank
Rheem Accessory HC. urthermore, two
pressure taps will need to be installed,
the first located between the air handler
outlet and the adjustable valve as near
as possible to the outlet, and the second
on the inlet water attached as near as
possible to the inlet. While the water
pump is engaged the adjustable valve
will be closed until the pressure
difference between the outlet and the
inlet is greater than 13.5 PSID.
Tubing Insulation:
Any tube-conveying fluid at a
temperature greater than that of the
surrounding air releases heat.
Insulate all accessible hot water lines
and associated valves with material,
such as expanded neoprene or
polyurethane 3/8-in. to 1⁄2-in. thick.
Match the pipe sleeve’s inside diameter
to the pipe’s outside diameter for a snug
fit. Place the pipe sleeve so the seam
will be face down on the pipe. Tape,
wire, or clamp insulation every foot or
two to secure it to the pipe. If taping is
desired, use acrylic tape instead of duct
tape.
Copper Tubing Support:
Copper tubing must be properly
supported to prevent sagging or
buckling. On horizontal runs with hard
temper tubing, the following maximum
support spacing is suggested:
• 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. tube: 5 feet maximum
spacing
• 1 in. to 1-1/4 in. tube: 6 feet maximum
spacing
The above suggested spacing does not
account for extra weight of piping
components such as an expansion tank,
etc. When such components are
present, the piping should be supported
immediately adjacent to the component.
On vertical runs, copper tubing should
be supported at each floor level or at a
maximum of every 10 feet.
Thermal Expansion of Piping:
In all hydronic systems, piping
undergoes temperature swings as the
system operates. This causes changes
in the length of the piping due to thermal
expansion.
If the piping is rigidly mounted, this
expansion can cause annoying popping
or squeaking sounds and, in extreme
cases, the piping can even buckle.
To counter expansion movement,
design piping circuits with sufficient
elbows, tees or expansion loops (only
used in large systems) or piping
supports that allow the tubing to expand
and contract freely.
Another alternative is to install an
expansion compensator fitting capable
of absorbing the movement.
Hydronic Resistance of
Fittings, Valves, and Other
Devices:
Before the total hydronic resistance
of a piping circuit can be found, the
individual hydronic resistances of all
fittings, valves, or other such
components must be determined.
One approach is to consider each
fitting, valve, or other device as an
equivalent length of copper tube of
the same pipe size (see Table 1).
By using the equivalent length of
piping for all components in the
circuit, the circuit can be treated as if
it were a single piece of pipe having
a length equal to the sum of the
actual pipe length, the total
equivalent lengths of all fittings,
valves, or other devices. Refer to
igure 9 and the calculation of
equivalent lengths.
Pipe Sizing Considerations:
When selecting a pipe size for a
given flow rate, the resulting average
flow velocity should be between 2
and 4 feet per second.
At water flow velocities of
approximately 2 feet per second,
flowing water will carry air bubbles
along a vertical pipe. Average flow
velocities of 2 feet per second or
higher can draw along air bubbles in
a downward flow. At the above
stated velocities air bubbles shall be
routed to an air separator where they
can be collected and discharged from
the system. Use Taco 4900 series air
separator, Model 49-075, or
equivalent (field supplied).
Average flow velocities higher than 4
feet per second could cause flow
noise and should be avoided.
Expansion Tank:
All liquids used in hydronic heating
systems expand when heated. or
all practical purposes, liquids are
incompressible. Any container
completely filled with a liquid and
sealed from the atmosphere will
experience a rapid increase in
pressure as the liquid is heated.
To prevent this from occurring, all
closed-loop hydronic systems MUST
be equipped with an expansion tank.
Refer to expansion tank man u fac -
turer’s instructions for proper sizing
and installation.
Water circulation:
The hydronic air handler has a strict
in press cycle which will circulate the
water in the coil for 6 minutes per day
to prevent water stagnation.

15
PROCEDURE FOR
CALCULATING THE TOTAL
EQUIVALENT LENGTH OF PIPE
Given piping assembly as shown in
igure 9 below, what is the total
equivalent length of the system?
irst determine the total straight pipe
lengths; next refer to Table 1 to
determine the equivalent straight pipe
length for each fitting shown. Add
together the equivalent lengths of piping
and fittings.
(3/4”) Tubing 24 ft.
7 (3/4”) 90 deg. Elbows 7 (1.9) = 13.3 ft.
5 (3/4”) Side Port Tees 5 (3.8) = 19.0 ft.
1 (3/4”) Taco air separator = .3 ft.
2 (3/4”) Ball Valve 2 (.2) = .4 ft.
Total Equivalent Length . . . . . = 57 ft.
WHERE POSSIBLE THE LENGTH OF
PIPE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 100
FEET TOTAL EQUIVALENT LENGTH.
ANY PIPING RUNNING THROUGH
UNCONDITIONED SPACE MUST BE
INSULATED TO PREVENT HEAT
LOSS, AND POSSIBLE FREEZING OF
THE LINE.
STIC ERS INDICATING DIRECTION
OF FLOW (WATER IN AND WATER
OUT) ARE LABELED ON THE
OUTSIDE OF THE CABINET. DO NOT
REVERSE THESE LINES, AS THIS
WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO
MALFUNCTION.
Piping Configuration
When employing a Tankless Water
Heater in a hydronic system, the
system is considered an open-loop
system when configured to
simultaneously deliver both domestic
hot water and space heating. By
definition, if the circuit is sealed off
from the atmosphere at all locations
(as is true for most modern hydronic
systems), it is called a closed-loop
system. If the circuit is open to the
atmosphere at any point, it is called
an open-loop system.

TYPICAL PIPING ARRANGEMENT FOR DIRECT SPACE HEATING AND DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY WITH TAN LESS
Open-Loop System
If piping is done in accordance with the
recommended schematic diagram
shown in igure 10, the following purge
and priming procedure applies.
PURGING AND PRIMING THE
SYSTEM:
The following procedure describes how
the system may be piped to eliminate
the need for a “purge cart” to fill the
system and remove entrapped air
bubbles.
STEP 1: CLOSE the air separator
venting valve.
STEP 2: CLOSE ball valve 3 (BV3);
STEP 3: OPEN drain valve 3 (DV3) to
which a hose MUST be connected and
draining to a sink, drain or outdoors.
STEP 4: CLOSE drain valves 1 & 2
(DV1and DV2) and OPEN ball valve 2
(BV2).
STEP 5: OPEN cold water supply main
valve (ball valve 1 - BV1). The system
will begin the prime/purge process using
the street pressure. Entrapped air
bubbles being pushed out of the system
will be evident by a slight vibration of the
discharge hose connected to drain valve
3 (DV3). The hose will stop vibrating
when laminar flow is achieved.
STEP 6: CLOSE drain valve 3 (DV3);
STEP 7: OPEN ball valve 3 (BV3).
The system is now purged, primed
and ready to go.
STEP 8: OPEN the air separator
venting valve.
NOTE: or an open-loop system, use
expansion tank approved for potable
water use only.
