hooking points and load support areas. Materials showing any kind
of wear in these areas must not be used and should be discarded.

UNIT FALLING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death.
Never stand beneath rigged units or lift over people.

!

WARNING

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury/death or property damage.
When straps are taut, the clevis should be a minimum of 36

in. (914 mm) above the unit top cover.

!

WARNING

Rigging/Lifting of Unit (See Fig. 5)

Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig. 2 and 3.

1. Leave top shipping skid on the unit for use as a spreader bar

to prevent the rigging straps from damaging the unit. If the

skid is not available, use a spreader bar of sufficient length
to protect the unit from damage.

2. Attach shackles, clevis pins, and straps to the base rails of

the unit. Be sure materials are rated to hold the weight of the

unit (See Fig. 5).

3. Attach a clevis of sufficient strength in the middle of the

straps. Adjust the clevis location to ensure unit is lifted level

with the ground.

After the unit is placed on the roof curb or mounting pad, remove
the top skid.

Step 6 — Connect Condensate Drain

NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to
comply with local codes and restrictions.
Model 48EZ--A disposes of condensate water through a 3/4 in.
NPT fitting which exits through the compressor access panel (See

Fig. 2 and 3 for location).
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop

installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground

level installations. Install a field--supplied condensate trap at end
of condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that

the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. (25 mm) lower than the

drain--pan condensate connection to prevent the pan from

overflowing (See Fig. 6). Prime the trap with water. When using a
gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from the unit.
If the installation requires draining the condensate water away

from the unit, install a 2--in. (51 mm) trap at the condensate
connection to ensure proper drainage (See Fig. 6). Make sure that

the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. (25 mm) lower than the
drain--pan condensate connection. This prevents the pan from

overflowing.
Prime the trap with water. Connect a drain tube -- using a minimum
of 3/4--in. PVC or 3/4--in. copper pipe (all field--supplied) -- at the

outlet end of the 2--in. (51 mm) trap. Do not undersize the tube.
Pitch the drain tube downward at a slope of at least 1--in. (25 mm)

for every 10 ft (3 m) of horizontal run. Be sure to check the drain

tube for leaks.

Step 7 — Install Flue Hood

The flue assembly is secured and shipped in the return air duct.
Remove duct cover to locate the assembly (See Fig. 8).
NOTE:

Dedicated low NOx models MUST be installed in

California Air Quality Management Districts where a Low NOx
rule exists.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as

shipped from the factory.
NOTE:

Low NOx requirements apply only to natural gas

installations.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death.
The venting system is designed to ensure proper venting.

The flue hood assembly must be installed as indicted in this

section of the unit installation instructions.

!

WARNING

Install the flue hood as follows:

1. This installation must conform with local building codes

and with the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA 54 /
ANSI Z223.1,

(in Canada, CAN/CGA B149.1, and

B149.2) latest revision. Refer to Provincial and local
plumbing or wastewater codes and other applicable local

codes.

2. Remove flue hood from shipping location (inside the return

section of the blower compartment--see Fig. 8). Remove the

return duct cover to locate the flue hood. Place flue hood
assembly over flue panel. Orient screw holes in flue hood

with holes in the flue panel.

3. Secure flue hood to flue panel by inserting a single screw on

the top flange and the bottom flange of the hood.

Step 8 — Install Gas Piping

The gas supply pipe enters the unit through the access hole
provided. The gas connection to the unit is made to the 1/2--in.

(12.7 mm) FPT gas inlet on the gas valve.
Install a gas supply line that runs to the heating section. Refer to
Table 2 and the NFGC for gas pipe sizing. Do not use cast--iron

pipe. It is recommended that a black iron pipe is used. Check the
local utility for recommendations concerning existing lines. Size

gas supply piping for 0.5 IN. W.C. maximum pressure drop. Never

use pipe smaller than the 1/2--in. (12.7 mm) FPT gas inlet on the
unit gas valve.
For natural gas applications, the gas pressure at unit gas connection
must not be less than 4.0 IN. W.C. or greater than 13 IN. W.C.

while the unit is operating. For propane applications, the gas

pressure must not be less than 11.0 IN. W.C. or greater than 13 IN.
W.C. at the unit connection.
