Step 2 — Plan for Sequence of Unit Installation

The support method used for this unit will dictate different

sequences for the steps of unit installation. For example,

on curb--mounted units, some accessories must be

installed on the unit before the unit is placed on the curb.

Review the following for recommended sequences for

installation steps.

Curb--mounted installation —

Install curb
Install field--fabricated ductwork inside curb
Install accessory thru--base service connection package

(affects curb and unit) (refer to accessory installation

instructions for details)
Prepare bottom condensate drain connection to suit

planned condensate line routing (refer to Step 9 for

details)
Rig and place unit
Install outdoor air hood
Install condensate line trap and piping
Make electrical connections
Install other accessories

Pad--mounted installation —

Prepare pad and unit supports
Check and tighten the bottom condensate drain

connection plug
Rig and place unit
Convert unit to side duct connection arrangement
Install field--fabricated ductwork at unit duct openings
Install outdoor air hood
Install condensate line trap and piping
Make electrical connections
Install other accessories

Frame--mounted installation —

Frame--mounted applications generally follow the

sequence for a curb installation. Adapt as required to

suit specific installation plan.

Step 3 — Inspect unit

Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim

with transportation agency.

Confirm before installation of unit that voltage, amperage

and circuit protection requirements listed on unit data

plate agree with power supply provided.

Step 4 — Provide Unit Support

Roof Curb Mount —

Accessory roof curb details and dimensions are shown in

Fig. 3. Assemble and install accessory roof curb in

accordance with instructions shipped with the curb.
NOTE: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is
critical for a watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with
the roof curb as shown in Fig. 3. Improperly applied
gasket can also result in air leaks and poor unit
performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to

function properly. Unit leveling tolerances are show in

Fig. 4. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation

Instructions for additional information as required.

Install insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter

flashing as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb and

not to the unit. The accessory thru--the--base power package
must be installed before the unit is set on the roof curb.

If electric and control wiring is to be routed through the

basepan, attach the accessory thru--the--base service

connections to the basepan in accordance with the

accessory installation instructions.

Slab Mount (Horizontal Units Only) —

Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of

6 in. (150 mm) beyond unit cabinet. Install a gravel apron

in front of condenser coil air inlet to prevent grass and

foliage from obstructing airflow.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb
if required.
Alternate Unit Support (In Lieu of Curb or Slab

Mount) —

A non--combustible sleeper rail can be used in the unit curb

support area. If sleeper rails cannot be used, support the long

sides of the unit with a minimum of 3 equally spaced 4--in. x

4--in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side.
