If a unit is to be installed on a roof curb or special frame
other than a YORK roof curb, gasketing must be
applied to all surfaces that come in contact with the unit
underside.
RIGGING AND HANDLING
Exercise care when moving the unit. Do not remove
any packaging until the unit is near the place of installa-
tion. Rig the unit by attaching chain or cable slings to
the lifting holes provided in the base rails. Spreader
bars, whose length exceeds the largest dimension
across the unit, MUST BE USED.
Units may also be moved or lifted with a forklift. Slotted
openings in the base rails are provided for this pur-
pose. Fork lengths must be a minimum of 42 inches.
Remove the nesting brackets from the four corners on
the top of the unit. All screws that are removed when
removing the brackets must be replaced on the unit.
Refer to Tables 14, 16 and 18 for unit weights and to
the Figure 9 for approximate center of gravity.
CLEARANCES
All units require certain clearances for proper operation
and service. Installer must make provisions for ade-
quate combustion and ventilation air in accordance with
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (in U.S.A.) or
Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of Gas Installation Codes CSA-
B149.1 (in Canada) and/or applicable provisions of the
local building codes. Refer to Dimensions and Clear-
ances shown in Figures 10 through 13 and Tables 41
and 42 for the clearances required for combustible con-
struction, servicing, and proper unit operation.
DUCTWORK
Ductwork should be designed and sized according to
the methods in Manual Q of the Air Conditioning Con-
tractors of America (ACCA).
A closed return duct system shall be used. This shall
not preclude use of economizers or outdoor fresh air
intake. The supply and return air duct connections at
the unit should be made with flexible joints to minimize
noise.
The supply and return air duct systems should be
designed for the CFM and static requirements of the
job. They should NOT be sized to match the dimen-
sions of the duct connections on the unit.
Refer to Figures 10 through 14 for information concern-
ing side and bottom supply and return air duct openings.
NOTE:
It is recommended that, in Canada, the outlet
duct be provided with a removable access
panel. It is recommended that this opening be
accessible when the unit is installed in service,
and of a size such that smoke or reflected light
may be observed inside the casing to indicate
the presence of leaks in the heat exchanger.
The cover should be attached in a manner
adequate to prevent leakage.
Excessive exposure of this furnace to contami-
nated combustion air may result in equipment
damage or personal injury. Typical contami-
nates include: permanent wave solutions, chlo-
rinated waxes and cleaners, chlorine based
swimming pool chemicals, water softening
chemicals, carbon tetrachloride, Halogen type
refrigerants, cleaning solvents (e.g. perchloro-
ethylene), printing inks, paint removers, var-
nishes, hydrochloric acid, cements and glues,
antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers,
masonry acid washing materials.
Before lifting a unit, make sure that all panels
are in place and that its weight is distributed
equally on all cables so it will lift evenly.
Do not permit overhanging structures or shrubs
to obstruct outdoor air discharge outlet, com-
bustion air inlet or vent outlets.
When fastening ductwork to side duct flanges
on unit, insert screws through duct flanges
only. DO NOT insert screws through casing.
Outdoor ductwork must be insulated and
waterproofed.
