Pre-Installation
Receiving and Handling
Inspection
Upon delivery, thoroughly inspect all components for any
shipping damage that may have occurred, and confirm
that the shipment is complete. See Receiving Checklist
section for detailed instructions.
Note:
Delivery cannot be refused. All units are shipped
F.O.B. destination. Trane is not responsible for
shipping damage.
Packaging/Shipping
Fan coil units are typically shipped one to two units to a
pallet. All units on the same pallet are typically installed on
the same floor, but some pallets may contain units for
multiple floors.
Smaller components may be shipped separately, or
shipped inside the unit.
Identification
Each unit is tagged according to the customer’s submittal.
A label, pasted on the panel that shields the motor/blower,
shows the information the customer specified for the tag.
Customer should include floor and/or riser number when
ordering the unit. This allows the unit to be taken directly
to the assigned space for immediate installation.
Handling
Avoid dropping or jarring the unit during off-loading and
moving the unit into position. At no time during handling
should the unit be transported or lifted by the risers.
Damage to the riser pipe(s), insulation, or connections
resulting from improper handling is not covered under the
manufacturer’s limited warranty.
Receiving Checklist
Complete the following checklist immediately after
receiving shipment to detect possible shipping damage.
Jobsite Storage
This unit is intended for indoor use only. It is the sole
responsibility of the customer to provide the necessary
protection to prevent vandalism and weather protection of
the equipment. Under no circumstance should the unit be
left unprotected from the elements.
Note:
There have been instances of units being stood
upright, unsecured on the edge of a building and
being blown off the building during a windstorm.
Site Preparation
Attention should be paid to the height of drywall which
encapsulates ductwork in a bulkhead. Note the height of
the side supply air opening shown in the submittals and
ensure that the drywall does not interfere with the side
wall grille. Make allowance for the one-inch flange around
the grille.
Wall sleeves are not included, which might be needed to
bridge a gap between the grille collar on the unit and the
drywall surface. Also, floor sleeves, extension sleeves
through shear walls, and extension of thermostat speed
switch wiring through shear walls are not included.
It is important to accurately locate the floor sleeve relative
to the fan coil and the drywall. If a wall sleeve is used
because the unit is incorrectly located back from the face
of the drywall, a problem with access for servicing can
arise if the sleeve depth is too long (over four inches).
Additionally, issues may arise with air bypass. Ensure
proper installation to avoid this. Also note that the louver
return air panel of the type which attaches with quarter-
turn fasteners cannot be used with a sleeve and ½-inch
drywall must be attached directly to the front of the unit.
Check to ensure that the shipment is complete. Small
components may ship inside the unit or ship
separately. Check the parts list to ensure all materials
are present.
Check all units, components, connections, and piping.
Check fan wheel for free rotation by spinning
manually. Check all doors, latches and hinges. Inspect
interior of each unit or section. Inspect coils for
damage to fin surface and coil connections. Check for
rattles, bent corners, or other visible indications of
shipping damage. Tighten loose connections.
If a unit is damaged, make specific notations
concerning the damage on the freight bill. Do not
refuse delivery.
Notify the carrier’s terminal of the damage
immediately by phone and mail. Request an
immediate joint inspection of the damage by the
carrier and consignee.
Notify your Trane sales representative of the damage
and arrange for repair. Do not attempt to repair the unit
without consulting the Trane representative.
Inspect the unit for concealed damage as soon as
possible after delivery. Report concealed damage to
the freight line. It is the receiver’s responsibility to
provide reasonable evidence that concealed damage
did not occur after delivery. Take photos of damaged
material if possible.
Note:
Concealed damage must be reported within 15
days of receipt.
