secondary to keep droplets out but allow trapped 
condensate into secondary fittings.  
 

CAUTION

  Since coil is upstream of the 

blower; all drains 

MUST

 be trapped or sealed. 

Failure to do so will result in condensate overflow 
from the drain pan. Airmark will 

NOT

 be 

responsible for any damages resulting from failure 
to follow these instructions.

Ductwork 

Duct systems should be installed in accordance 
with standards for air-conditioning systems, 
National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet No. 
90A or 90B. They should be sized in accordance 
with National Environmental System Contractors 
Association Manual K, or whichever is applicable. 

 

On any job, non-flammable flexible collars should 
be used for the return air and discharge 
connections to prevent transmission of vibration. 
Although these units have been specially designed 
for quiet vibration-free operation, air ducts can act 
as soundboards can, if poorly installed, amplify the 
slightest vibration to the annoyance level. 

 

All main supply and return air drops should be 
properly sized as determined by the designer of 
the duct system and should not necessarily be the 
size of the duct flange openings of the unit. 
 
These models have a bottom or front return. 
Discard the drain access panel in the bottom of the 
unit if this is a bottom return application. In case of 
a front return application, the front access panel 
should be removed and discarded. If an accessory 
grill as shown in Fig 2. is being used; the front 
access panel should be removed and discarded.

size filter. Inspect and clean or replace fliter every 
month. A blocked filter can reduce air flow to the 
coil and hinder the performance of the system.  
 
It is recommended that wherever supply and return 
air sheet metal ducts pass through unconditioned 
areas, they be insulated to prevent excessive heat 
loss during heating operation. When applied in 
conjunction with summer air conditioning, sheet 
metal duct routed through unconditioned areas 
should be insulated and have an outside vapor 
barrier to prevent formation of condensation.

Installation  

 

CAUTION

  Ensure that the unit is adequately 

sized. The tonnage of the outdoor unit should 
never exceed the tonnage of this unit.  

 

WARNING

  The coil was manufactured with a 

dry nitrogen pre-charge. Release the pressure 
through the Schrader valve test port prior to 
installation. If holding pressure is not present, 
return coil to distributor for exchange.   

 

Clean coil fins with degreasing agent or mild 
detergent and rinse fins clean prior to installation.   

 

All connection joints should be burr-free and clean. 
Not removing burr and cleaning may increase the 
chance of a leak. It is recommended to use a pipe 
cutter to remove the spun closed end of the 
suction line.
