III. STEP 3 — FIELD FABRICATE DUCTWORK
Secure all ducts to building structure. Use flexible duct con-
nectors between unit and ducts as required. Insulate and
weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and roof openings
with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applica-
ble codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be insu-
lated and covered with a vapor barrier.
The 558F units with electric heat require a 1-in. clearance
for the first 24 in. of ductwork.
Outlet grilles must not lie directly below unit discharge.
NOTE: A 90-degree elbow must be provided in the ductwork
to comply with UL (Underwriters’ Laboratories) codes for
use with electric heat. IV. STEP 4 — MAKE UNIT DUCT CONNECTIONS
Unit is shipped for through-the-bottom duct connections.
Ductwork openings are shown in Fig. 7. Field-fabricated con-
centric ductwork may be connected as shown in Fig. 8 and 9.
Attach all ductwork to roof curb and roof curb basepans.
Refer to installation instructions shipped with accessory roof
curb for more information.
V. STEP 5 — TRAP CONDENSATE DRAIN
See Fig. 4-6, and 10 for drain location. Plug is provided in
drain hole and must be removed when unit is operating. One
3 /
4
-in. half-coupling is provided inside unit evaporator sec-
tion for condensate drain connection. An 8 1 /
2
in. x 3 /
4
-in.
diameter nipple and a 2-in. x 3 /
4
-in. diameter pipe nipple are
coupled to standard 3 /
4
-in. diameter elbows to provide a
straight path down through holes in unit base rails (see
Fig. 11). A trap at least 4-in. deep must be used.
WARNING: For vertical supply and return units,
tools or parts could drop into ductwork and cause an
injury. Install a 90 degree turn in the return ductwork
between the unit and the conditioned space. If a
90 degree elbow cannot be installed, then a grille of
sufficient strength and density should be installed to
prevent objects from falling into the conditioned space.
Due to electric heater, supply duct will require
90 degree elbow.
NOTE: Do not drill in this area; damage to basepan may result in water
leak.
