INSTALLATION
LIMITATIONS
These units must be installed in accordance with all
national and local safety codes. If no local codes apply,
installation must conform with the appropriate national
codes. Units are designed to meet National Safety
Code Standards. If components are to be added to a
unit to meet local codes, they are to be installed at the
dealer's and/or the customer's expense. See Table 2
for application data.
LOCATION
These Evaporator Blowers are not designed for out-
door installation. They must be located within the build-
ing structure, either inside or outside the conditioned
space.
These Evaporator Blower sections allow for vertical or
horizontal installation in any area offering proper elec-
trical supply, duct and drain connections.
They may be installed either with ductwork or matching
plenum and inlet grille.
The units should be located as close to the condensing
units as practical and positioned to minimize bends in
the refrigerant piping.
Units being installed vertically or horizontally can be set
directly on a floor or platform, or metal or wooden
beams can support them.
Units being installed horizontally can be suspended
from above. Four 3/8" weld nuts are provided in the unit
frame to accommodate hanger rods. Knockouts must
be removed from the unit panels to expose these weld
nuts. Refer to Figure 1 for their location and the individ-
ual load on each hanger rod.
A field added secondary drain pan may be required in
locations where possible condensate overflow could
cause damage.
RIGGING AND HANDLING
Be careful when moving the unit. Do not remove any
packaging until the unit is near its final location.
The packaging consists of a bottom wooden skid that
can be lifted with a fork truck from any direction, a card-
board container that covers the entire unit, and strap-
ping that secures the cardboard container to the
bottom skid.
These units can be rigged with slings under the bottom
skid.
Before rigging any unit, determine its weight from Table
1. Before rigging a unit for horizontal installation, deter-
mine its center of gravity from Figure 1 and make sure
that its weight will be distributed equally.
Be careful when attaching the hanger rods.
Use a washer with a back-up nut on each rod
and tighten down against the cabinet so they
will not be allowed to turn or slip.
Spreader bars should be used to prevent the
slings from crushing the unit panels and frame.

DUCT CONNECTIONS
All ducts should be designed and installed in accor-
dance with all national and/or local codes.
Refer to Figure 3 for suggested method of connecting
supply air ductwork.
Ducts should be sized no smaller than the duct flanges
on the unit or the electric heater (if used). Refer to the
unit dimensions (Figure 14) and the heater detail (Fig-
ure 4) for these sizes. Refer to Form 035-16602-001
for installation instructions on the electric heater.
Use flexible fiber glass or plastic cloth collars or other
non-flammable material at the unit duct connections to
minimize the transmission of noise and vibration.
Insulate all ductwork running through unconditioned
areas to prevent moisture condensation and to provide
more economical operation.
The return air duct flange is factory-mounted on the
front of the unit, but it can be reversed with the solid
bottom panel for horizontal applications.
A supply air plenum (Figure 5), a base (Figure 6) and a
return air grille (Figure 7) are available as field-installed
accessories, and one of the following respective
instructions will be packed with each.
PN 035-16650-001 - Supply Air Plenum

DRAIN CONNECTION
The drain line MUST be trapped because the coil is
located on the negative side of the supply air blower,
and it must be protected from freezing temperatures.
A 7/8” OD drain connection extends through right hand
side of cabinet. Refer to Figure 8 for recommended
drain piping.
The drain connection is located on the same side of the
unit as the refrigerant connections. The line should be
insulated where moisture drippage will be objection-
able or cause damage to the area.
The 3” dimension must be equal or exceed the nega-
tive static pressure developed by the supply air blower.
If it does not, the condensate will not drain properly and
may overflow the drain pan. The trap must be at least
2-1/2” deep to maintain a water seal under all operating
conditions, especially during blower start-up.
NOTE: The unit may have to be raised off the floor to
allow enough height for the trap.
REFRIGERANT MAINS
Many service problems can be avoided by taking ade-
quate precautions to provide an internally clean and
dry system and by using procedures and materials that
conform with established standards.
Use hard drawn copper tubing where no appreciable
amount of bending around pipes or other obstructions
is necessary. Use long radius ells wherever possible
with one exception - small radius ells for any traps in a
vapor riser. If soft copper is used, care should be taken
to avoid sharp bends which may cause a restriction.
Fiber glass insulation and a sealing material such as
permagum should be packed around refrigerant lines
where they penetrate a wall to reduce vibration and to
retain some flexibility.
Support all refrigerant lines at minimum intervals with
suitable hangers, brackets or clamps.
Braze all copper to copper joints with Sil-Fos 5 or
equivalent brazing material. DO NOT USE SOFT SOL-
DER.
Never braze or solder the liquid and vapor lines
together. The complete vapor line should be insulated
with minimum 1/2” ARMAFLEX or equivalent.
If it is desirable to fasten these lines together for sup-
port purposes, they must be completely insulated, one
from the other.
Refer to the appropriate condensing unit installation
instructions for the matching outdoor unit for piping lim-
itations, line sizes, and other design considerations.
INSTALLING REFRIGERANT MAINS
The units are evacuated and dehydrated at the factory
and shipped with a holding charge of Refrigerant-22.
The suction and liquid connections are sealed with
copper discs. Refer to the appropriate condensing unit
installation instructions for charging data.
Before starting installation of the mains be sure the unit
has not developed a leak in transit by drilling a small

hole in the sealing discs. If pressure still exists, the cir-
cuit may be considered leak free. If pressure does not
exist the coil should be leak tested.
NOTE: To minimize the possibility of system failure
due to dirt and moisture, a filter-drier must be
installed in the liquid line as close to the evap-
orator as possible. Filter-driers are not sup-
plied with the evaporator blowers. They are
supplied with the matching condensing sec-
tions.
If solenoid valves are required, they must be pur-
chased and installed in the field. The temperature
required to make or break a brazed joint is sufficiently
high to cause oxidation of the copper unless an inert
atmosphere is provided.
The liquid and suction connections must be piped out-
side the unit. Refer to the unit drawing for locations and
the dimensions of these connections.
Before brazing the refrigerant lines to these connec-
tions, remove the short panel from the unit frame and
slide it (along with the grommets) onto the refrigerant
lines. After the brazed joints have cooled, slide the
panel back into place and secure it to the unit frame.
NOTE: These units can only be piped from one side of
the unit.
EXPANSION VALVE BULB
The expansion valve bulb must be fastened in a 10 or 2
o'clock position to the suction line outside the cabinet
after the piping connections have been made.
Use the clamps provided with the valve to secure the
bulb in position. Bulb must be insulated with armaflex
or mastic to assure proper operation.
POWER AND CONTROL WIRING
Install electrical wiring in accordance with the latest
National Electrical Code (NFPA standard No. 70) and/
or local regulations. The unit should be grounded in
accordance with these codes.
Route the power wires into the unit through the 1-3/8”
knockout in the rear panel, and connect them to the ter-
minals on blower motor contactor 10M. Route the con-
trol wires into the unit through the 7/8” hole in the rear
panel, and connect them to the terminals on block TB1.
Refer to the unit drawing in Figure 14 for the locations
of these knockouts.
Dry nitrogen should flow through the system at
all times when heat is being applied and until
the joint has cooled.
