AirDucts
This unit is designed only for use with a supply and return
duct. Air ducts should be installed in accordance with the
standards of the National Fire Protection Association
“Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning Systems”
(NFPA 90A), “Standard for Installation of Residence Type
Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems” (NFPA
90B), and all applicable local codes. NFPA publications
are available by writing to: National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, ME 02269 or
visit www.NFPA.org on the web.
• DesigntheductworkaccordingtoManualDbytheAir
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
• The ducts must beproperlysizednotto exceed the
units maximum ESP rating at 400 SCFM per nominal
ton of cooling capacity.
• Ductworkshouldbeattacheddirectlytotheunitanges
for horizontal applications.
• Ifaroofcurbisinstalled,theductsmustbeattachedto
the curb hangers, not the unit.
• It is recommended that the outlet duct be provided
with a removable access panel. The opening should
be accessible when the unit is installed in service and
shall be sizes so that smoke or reflected light may be
observed inside the casing to indicate the presence of
leaks in the heat exchanger. The cover for the opening
shall be attached in a way that will prevent leaks.
• If outside air is utilized as return air to the unit for
ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the system
must be designed so that the return air to the unit is not
less than 50° F (10° C) during heating operation.
• Ifacombinationofindoorandoutdoorairisused,the
ducts and damper system must be designed so that the
return air supply to the furnace is equal to the return air
supply under normal, indoor return air applications.
UnconditionedSpaces
All duct work passing through unconditioned space must
be properly insulated to minimize duct losses and prevent
condensation. Use insulation with an outer vapor barrier.
Refer to local codes for insulation material requirements.
AcousticalDuctWork
Certain installations may require the use of acoustical
lining inside the supply duct work.
• Acousticalinsulationmustbeinaccordancewiththe
current revision of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning
Contractors National Association (SMACNA) application
standard for duct liners.
• DuctliningmustbeULclassiedbattsorblanketswith
a fire hazard classification of FHC-25/50 or less.
• Fiberductworkmaybeusedinplaceofinternalduct
liners if the fiber duct work is in accordance with the
current revision of the SMACNA construction standard
on fibrous glass ducts. Fibrous duct work and internal
acoustical lining must be NFPA Class 1 air ducts when
tested per UL Standard 181 for Class 1 ducts.
UNIT INSTALLATION
PackagingRemoval
Remove the shipping carton and User’s Manual from the
equipment. Set aside the 13” x 2” PVC pipe for later use
when installing the heat exchanger condensate drain and
vent kit. Take care not to damage the coil or cabinet when
removing the carton. For rooftop installations, remove
and discard the two supports attached beneath the unit
