Inspection

Shipment should be checked against the bill of lading to

verify that all items listed have been received.

All parts should be carefully inspected to determine if

any damage was incurred in shipment.

Any shortage and/or claims for damage should be

immediately reported to the delivering carrier followed

by filling a claim for shortages and/or damages.

Shipment of Units

Depending on the unit size and accessories included,

the shipment may be made in two or more sections.

Handling

Special care should be taken when handling and

assembling component sections of the unit. Rough

handling at the job site can result in damaged bearings,

bent shaft, etc.

All units are shipped on wooden skids. It is

recommended that units not be moved removed from

skids until they are at a place of installation. The

mounting legs/rails provided for isolators should be used

when lifting units into place.

Suspended Units

Unit sizes 03 through 41 may be ceiling suspended from

the mounting legs/based rails with 5/8” diameter rods

(furnished by others). These rods will pass through the

11/16” diameter mounting holes provided.

Unit sizes 50, 65, and 75 cannot be ceiling suspended.

Installation

It is very important that the unit be installed in a level

position to prevent distortion and to insure proper

damper operation and coil drainage.

Allow sufficient space around the unit for proper

maintenance. Major factors to be considered are

filter removal for cleaning or replacement, access

to all removal panels, removal of coils and shaft if

ever necessary, lubrication access and motor belt

adjustment.

Canvas duct connections should be used between the

unit and both supply and return air ducts.

Units are furnished with 1 1/4” F.P.T. Drain connection

on each side of the coil section. The drain line from

the drain pan connection must be adequately pitched

and should have a water seal of sufficient depth to

compensate for the air pressure within the units.

(See Condensate Drain Traps on page 4.)

When the unit is located on the roof, it must be mounted

on support beams that span load bearing walls. If this

is not done, excessive vibration may occur due to the

resiliency of the roof.

Fan noise is a function of the fan design, volume flow,

pressure, and the efficiency of the fan. Present methods

of measuring fan noise do not evaluate the pure tones

generated by some fans and these tones can be

objectionable when radiated into occupied spaces.

Therefore, on critical applications we recommend extra

sound attention in the octave band containing the tone.

Motors & Drives

All units will normally be shipped with motor and drive

installed.

When mounting a motor on the adjustable base (Installed

on the unit) extreme care should be taken to insure

proper alignment and belt tension.

All electrical work should be done in strict accordance

with local codes and regulations.

Steam Coils

Type “J” and “NFS” coils have supply and return

connections on the same end. Types “R”, “S”, and “RA”

coils have supply and return connections on opposite

ends.

Type “NFD” coils have supply connections one each end

of the coil , with a single return connection, one end only.

All piping should be in accordance with accepted

industry standards and local codes. Support all piping

independent of coil and provide adequate swing joints in

all piping to absorb expansion and contraction strains.

Run return piping the full size of the coil return connection

from the coil to a dirt pocket. (do not use reducing

fittings.)

Install drip traps in steam mains ahead of coils. Do not

drip steam mains through the coils.

Install a vacuum breaker (1/2” 15º check valve) ahead of

the trap on low pressure open gravity return systems and

on high pressure systems. Install a 1/2” 15º swing check

valve in a 1/2” vacuum equalizing line, bypassing the

condensate trap, on low pressure vacuum systems.
