rod through the unit knockouts, angle it
through the top, careful not to damage unit
coil or insulation.

Installing the Unit
Follow the procedures below to install the
blower coil unit.
Horizontal Units, Model BCHC
Install horizontal units suspended from
the ceiling with
3
/
8
” threaded rods that
are field provided. There are two
knockouts in each corner of the unit for
installation of the threaded rods. Ensure
the ceiling opening is large enough for
unit installation and maintenance
requirements.
BCHC Installation Procedure
Materials needed:
• threaded rods,
3
/
8
” (4)
• nuts (8)
• flat washers or steel plates (8)
• vibration isolator hangers or turnbuckles
(4)
1. Determine the unit mounting hole
dimensions. Prepare the hanger rod
isolator assemblies, which are field
provided, and install them in the ceiling.
Trane recommends using threaded
rods to level the unit. Consult the unit
nameplate or the Dimensions and
Weights section in this manual for the
unit weight. See Figure I-IP-1 for proper
horizontal unit installation.
2. Remove motor access panels and
filter access panels.
3. Punch out the eight knockouts in the top
and bottom panels.
4. Guide the threaded rod through the
unit from the top, careful not to damage
insulation or wiring. See Figure I-IP-2.
Insert the threaded rod at an angle to
help prevent internal unit damage.
5. Put a nut and large flat washer or steel
plate on the bottom of the threaded rod.
See Figure IP-I-3.
6. Put a nut and flat washer or steel plate
on the top to prevent air leakage.
7. Thread the top of the rod into the
isolator or turnbuckle.
8. Hoist the unit to the suspension rods
and attach with washers and lock–nuts.
See Figure I-IP-1 for details.
9. Level the unit for proper coil drainage
and condensate removal from the drain
pan. Refer to the condensate drain trap
instructions on page 20.
10. Connect the ductwork to the unit.
Refer to the Duct Connection section on
page 20.
