Gas Piping Installation
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Failure to follow the safety warning exactly could result in
serious injury, death, or property damage. Never test for
gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available
soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks to
check all connections. A fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

WARNING
!
Attaching Horizontal Ductwork to Unit
All conditioned air ductwork should be insulated to minimize heating
and cooling duct losses. Use a minimum of two (2) inches of insulation
with a vapor barrier. The outside ductwork must be weatherproofed
between the unit and the building.
When attaching ductwork to a horizontal unit, provide a flexible
watertight connection to prevent noise transmission from the unit
to the ducts. The flexible connection
must
be indoors and made
out of heavy canvas.
NOTE: Do not draw the canvas taut between the solid ducts.
Attaching Downflow Ductwork to Roof Curb
Supply and return air flanges are provided on the BAYCURB050
and BAYCURB051 model roof curbs for easy duct installation. All
ductwork must be run and attached to the curb before the unit is
set into place.
Attaching Downflow Ductwork to Roof Frame
Follow these guidelines for ductwork construction:
Connections to the unit should be made with three (3) inch canvas
connectors to minimize noise and vibration transmission.
Elbows with turning vanes or splitters are recommended to minimize
air noise and resistance.
The first elbow in the ductwork leaving the unit should be no closer
than two (2) feet from the unit to minimize noise and resistance.
To prevent leaking, do not attach the ductwork to the bottom of the
unit base; refer to the bottom example in Figure 14.
A 3/4-inch female NPT condensate drain connection is provided on
the filter access panel end of the unit
. Provide a trap and fill it with
water before starting the unit to avoid air from being drawn through.
Follow local codes and standard piping practices when running the
drain line. Pitch the line downward away from the unit. Avoid long
horizontal runs. See Figure 16.
NOTE: Do not use reducing fittings in the drain lines.
The condensate drain must be:
●
Made of 3/4" pipe.
●
Pitched 1/4" per foot to provide free drainage to convenient drain
system.
●
Trapped.
●
Must not be connected to a closed drain system unless the trap
is properly vented.
