5 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Preparation
Keep this document with the unit. Carefully read all in-
structions for the installation prior to installing product.
Make sure each step or procedure is understood and
any special considerations are taken into account before
starting installation. Assemble all tools, hardware and
supplies needed to complete the installation. Some items
may need to be purchased 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
sections) must be manufacturer approved and Air-Con-
ditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI)
listed.
NOTE:
Installation of unmatched systems is not
permitted. Damage or repairs due to installation of un-
matched systems is not covered under the warranty.
5.3 Interconnecting Tubing
Give special consideration to minimize the length of refrig-
erant tubing when installing air handlers. Refer to outdoor
AIR CONDITIONING OR HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION &
SERVICE REFERENCE for line set configuration guide
-
lines. If possible, allow adequate length of tubing such
that the coil may be removed (for inspection or cleaning
services) from the cabinet without disconnecting the
tubing.
5.4 Clearances
The unit clearance from a combustible surface may be
0”. However, service clearance must take precedence. A
minimum of 24” in front of the unit for service clearance
is required. Additional clearance on one side or top will
be required for electrical wiring connections. Consult all
appropriate 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 in-
stall a protective barrier to prevent such damage. Always
install units such that a positive slope in condensate line
(1/4” per foot) is allowed.
5.5 Horizontal Applications
If installed above a finished living space a secondary
drain pan, as required by many building codes, must be
installed under the entire unit and its condensate drain
line must be routed to a location such that the user will
see the condensate discharge.
