PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Preparation
Keep this document with the unit. Carefully read all instruc-
tions for the installation prior to installing product. Make sure
each step or procedure is understood and any special con-
siderations are taken into account before starting installa-
tion. Assemble all tools, hardware and supplies needed to
complete the installation. Some items may need to be pur-
chased locally. Make sure everything needed to install the
product is on hand before starting.
5.2 System Matches
The entire system (combination of indoor and outdoor sec-
tions) must be manufacturer approved and Air-Conditioning,
Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) listed.
NOTE:
In-
stallation of unmatched systems is not permitted. Damage
or repairs due to installation of unmatched systems is not
covered under the warranty.
5.3 Interconnecting Tubing
Give special consideration to minimize the length of refriger-
ant tubing when installing air handlers. Refer to outdoor AIR
CONDITIONING OR HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION & SERVICE
REFERENCE for line set configuration guidelines. If possible,
allow adequate length of tubing such that the coil may be
removed (for inspection or cleaning services) from the cabi-
net without disconnecting the tubing.
5.4 Clearances
The unit clearance from a combustible surface may be 0".
However, service clearance must take precedence. A mini-
mum of 24" in front of the unit for service clearance is re-
quired. Additional clearance on one side or top will be re-
quired for electrical wiring connections. Consult all appropri-
ate regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances.
When installing this unit in an area that may become wet
(such as crawl spaces), elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-
porous material. In installations that may lead to physical
damage (i.e. a garage) it is advised to install a protective bar-
rier to prevent such damage. Always install units such that a
positive slope in condensate line (1/4" per foot) is allowed.
