Submittals and product literature detailing unit operation,
controls, and connections should be thoroughly reviewed BE-
FORE beginning the connection and testing of risers and
piping.
The supply and return connections are marked on the coil
stubouts and the valve package depending on your configura-
tion. “CS” means cold water supply, “CR” means cold water
return, “HS” means hot water supply, and “HR” means hot wa-
ter return to indicate flow direction to and from the coil. Blue
letters mark the chilled water connections and red letters mark
the hot water connections.
The unit internal piping is designed to accommodate a total
riser vertical movement of ±1

in., due to thermal expansion
and/or contraction, when positioned properly at the jobsite.
Risers must be anchored to the building structure to limit riser
expansion and contraction movement to a maximum of 3 inch-
es. Riser anchoring and expansion compensation is not includ-
ed in the factory-supplied unit and must be field provided.
While some special riser features are available from the factory,
riser end caps, air vents, and/or flushing loops are normally
provided on the job by the installer.
Riser to Unit Installation
— Proper riser installation and verti-
cal positioning in the unit provides for a unit piping run-out to
the service valves which are centered in the access slots and
level or sloping down slightly away from the riser. This pre-
vents condensation from running back to the riser and possible
damage from dripping at the bottom of a riser column. Each
job has specific requirements and satisfying those requirements
is the responsibility of the installer.
Riser to Drain Installation
1. Carefully position the unit so that the riser ball valves
penetrate into the unit through the riser slot making sure
the insulation penetrates into the unit as shown in Fig. 57
and 58.
2. Before anchoring the equipment in place, the unit must be
leveled and the cabinet must be plumb and squared. The
unit may be anchored in place by bolting directly through
the unit’s floor or attaching to the building walls through
the cabinet walls in some location that will not interfere
with drywall or other items such as the supply grille, ther-
mostat, or return access panel. When attaching sheetrock
to the unit cabinet, care must be taken to not penetrate the
cabinet in locations that may damage internal compo-
nents or wiring. The mounting technique is a matter of
choice; however, the unit should always be anchored se-
curely to the building to prevent movement during con-
struction and riser expansion and contraction. After an-
choring the unit, it is then ready for the various service
connections such as riser connections and electrical.
3. The plastic flare caps on the end of the riser ball valves
should be removed and discarded.
4. All mega stack units use reinforced braided stainless steel
flexible hose kits for piping between field installed risers
and unit water coils as shown in Fig. 58. Each hose has
threaded connections on each end. The hose kits allow for
riser fluctuations due to thermal expansion.
5. Use a wrench to tighten the swivel connections. Use a
backup wrench to hold the riser ball valve stationary to
prevent it from bending or twisting during installation as
shown in Fig. 59. Be careful to not over tighten swivel
connections.
6. Locate the unit’s coil fitting.
7. The plastic flare caps on the end of the coil fitting should
be removed and discarded.
8. Use a wrench to tighten the swivel connections. The baf-
fle acts as a secondary wrench. Be careful to not over
tighten swivel connections.
9. Locate the p-trap drain and rubber hose factory installed
to the drain pan connection in the bottom of the unit as
shown in Fig. 60.
10. Push the rubber drain hose over the riser drain stubout. Be
careful that you do not bend the drain stubout.
11. Adjust the hose clamp over the riser stubout and rubber
hose to hold in place as shown in Fig. 60.
