5. The area around refrigerant lines must be sealed
and electrical inlets need to be sealed at both the
low and the high voltage.
6. It is recommended that the outline drawing be stud-
ied and dimensions properly noted and checked
against selected installation site. By noting in ad-
vance which knockouts are to be used, proper clear-
ance allowances can be made for installation and
possible future service.
7. Allow a
minimum of 21 inches clearance
in front
of the air handler to permit service and removal of
filter.
8. When air handler with supplementary heater is to
be installed in the downflow position on combusti-
ble flooring an accessory subbase (TAYBASE101 for
4TEC3F24-36B or TAYBASE100 for 4TEC3F42B-
60B) must be used. See Figure 1.
9. If supplementary heat is to be added, power supply
must be sufficient to carry the load. In addition,
minimum air flow settings, unit and duct clearanc-
es to combustible material must be maintained as
stated on the air handler rating nameplate.
These air handlers are suitable for installation in a clos-
et, alcove or utility room with free, non-ducted, air re-
turn, using the area space as a return air plenum. With
ducted supply air, if the minimum clearances to com-
bustible materials and service access are observed, the
above installations are suitable.
This area may also be used for other purposes, includ-
ing an electric hot water heater –
but in no case shall
a fossil fuel device be installed and/or operated in
the same closet, alcove or utility room.
In addition, these air handlers are suitable for installa-
tion in an attic, garage or crawl space with ducted sup-
ply and return air.
This equipment has been evaluated in accordance with
the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter XX, Part 3280
or the equivalent. “SUITABLE FOR MOBILE HOME
USE.”
For proper installation the following items must be
considered:
1. If adequate power is available and correct accord-
ing to nameplate specifications.
2. Insulate all ducts, particularly if unit is located
outside of the conditioned space.
3. Pursuant to Florida Building Code 13-610.2.A.2.1,
this unit meets the criteria for a factory sealed air
handler.
4. To ensure maximum efficiency and system perfor-
mance, the existing supply and return duct system
static pressures must not exceed the total available
