3 Installation Instructions
3.1 Parts
Contact your distributor for authorized replacement parts.
3.2 Pre-installation instructions
Carefully read all instructions for installation prior to installing product. Make sure each step or procedure is understood and any special considerations are taken into account before starting installation. Assemble all tools, hardware and supplies needed to complete the installation. Some items may need to be purchased locally. Make sure everything needed to install the product is on hand before starting.
3.3 Installation and trap connection
1. See Fig.6 & 7 for coil installation and drain connection. 2. Installation steps for cased coil:
A. Shut off or disconnect gas furnace’s power and remove gas pipe if necessary.
B. Disconnect and remove a sufficient portion of the supply ductwork to provide clearance for the cased coil.
C. Ensure that the coil is level. Seal the gap between coil and furnace.

Horizontal Drain Conditions (All other drain connections should be plugged)

See Figure 6 & 7. In case that coil and furnace sizes are not matched, use proper size of sheet metal or other material to fill the gap and seal the gap to prevent air leak

D. Reconnect the ductwork to the coil case, and seal any leakage.
E. Reconnect power line on gas furnace, turn on the furnace to check any sign of leakage.

4 Drain application 4.1 Condensate drain piping
Consult local codes for special requirements. To provide extra protection from water damage, it is always recommended to install an additional drain pan, provided by installer, under the entire unit with a separate drain line. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damages due to the failure to follow these recommendations.
4.2 Plastic drain pan installation
WARNING: f Do not use the coil pan shipped with the unit on OIL furnaces
or any application where the temperature of the drain pan may exceed 275 °F . A field fabricated metal drain pan can also be used for these type of applications. Failure to follow this warning may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
The coil drain pan has a primary and an optional secondary drain with 3/4″ NP T female connections; use either PVC or copper pipe and hand tighten to a torque of approximately 37 in-lbs. to prevent damage to the drain pan connection. An insertion depth between .355 to .485 inches (3-5 turns) should be expected at this torque setting.
Use male 3/4″ NPT threaded fitting for outside connection and make sure the drain holes are not blocked.
Insulation may be needed for drain line to prevent sweating.
Drain pan has two drain connections on each side to provide flexibility of connection and drainage. Make sure pan has proper pitch and plugged if second connection is not used.
If the secondary drain line is required, run the line separately from the primary drain and terminate it where it can be easily seen.
Water coming from this line means the coil primary drain is plugged and needs clearing.
Install a trap in the drain line below the bottom of the drain pan. If using a copper drain line, solder a short piece of pipe to the connector before installing a drain fitting. DO NO T over torque the 3/4″ copper connector to the plastic drain connection. Use a wet rag or heatsink material on the short piece to protect plastic drain pan, complete the drain line installation (Fig.8 ). Use (Fig.9) as a template for typical drain pipe routing. This figure shows how to avoid interference with vent piping.

NOTICE:
f Gently remove the sealing plug of vapor line, use one wrench to fix the valve base, loosen the nut with another wrench,take out the flange pad and and sealing ring. The nitrogen pressure is about 10 PSIG.

To prevent refrigerant leak, use proper tools to ensure clean, burr-free cut.

NOTICE:
f TXV bulb MUST be protected (wrapped with wet rag) or removed, while brazing the tubing. Overheating of the sensing bulb will affect the functional characteristics and performance of the comfort coil.

Use brazing shield when brazing close to the cabinet surface and wet rag to protect rubber grommet. Brazing alloy should be at least 5% silver content.
