Downflow Installations

Downflow Electric Furnace:

1. Disconnect all electrical power to the furnace.
2. Select the appropriate coil conversion kit which includes 

2 air filters, close-off plates (2 sets) and a coil hold down 
bracket.

3. Remove the filter located at the top of the furnace 

cabinet.

4. Remove the refrigerant line knockouts located at the 

top and bottom of the furnace cabinet.

5. Install the coil and level it as needed to ensure proper 

condensate drainage.

6. Secure the coil hold down bracket with screws.
7. Add air filters to the sides of the coil.
8. Cut the floor opening for the refrigerant lines and drain 

line. See Figure 1 on page 3.

9. Connect the refrigerant lines as outlined in the 

Refrigerant Line Connection section (page 4).

Downflow Furnace with Integral Coil Cabinet 
or Optional Cabinet

1. Disconnect all electrical power to the furnace.
2. Remove the knockout in the left bottom corner of the 

furnace and cut an appropriately sized hole in the floor. 
See Figure 1. 

NOTE:

 For the optional cabinet, refer to 

its installation instructions for assembly details.

3. Remove the interior coil panel. Install the coil and level 

it as needed to ensure proper condensate drainage.

4. Remove the knockout for the refrigerant lines in the 

secondary covers and replace in the furnace.

 

NOTE:

 Modifications to the panel may be required.

5. Slide the close-off plates around the refrigerant lines 

and install the provided dart clips. See Figure 2.

6. Snap the bushings around the lines and into the close-

off panels.

7. Connect the refrigerant lines as outlined in the refrigerant 

lines section.

Refrigerant Line Connections

The total system operating charge of R-410A is in the 

outdoor unit and is adequate for the matched listed system 

including 15 feet of line set.
1. Remove the protective caps from the coil and refrigerant 

line set couplings.

2. With a soft, dust-free cloth, carefully wipe clean all 

coupling threads and seals to remove any dust or 
material which could contaminate the refrigerant system.

3. Using refrigerant oil, lightly lubricate the diaphragm, 

seal, and mating threads.

4. Connect the couplings as follows:

a.) Line up the refrigerant line with the coil coupling and 

thread together by hand to ensure proper thread 
mating. Hold the hex of the male coupling with a 
wrench and slowly wrench tighten the union nut until 
a definite resistance (bottoming out) is felt.

b.) Mark the position of the union nut (match lines on the 

line coupling and the coil coupling), then tighten the 
coupling an additional 1/4 turn to ensure a leakproof 
connection. Use the Torque Values table (below) if 
a torque wrench is used.

5. Check the system for leaks.
