Step 4 — Make Duct Connections — Install all
ductwork to and from unit in accordance with project plans,
specifications, and all applicable codes. Duct construction must
allow unit to operate within duct external static pressure limits
as shown on job submittals. Units designed to operate with
ductwork may be damaged if operated without intended duct-
work attached.
Units provided with outside air should have some method
of low-temperature protection to prevent freeze-up. This pro-
tection may be any of several methods, such as a low tempera-
ture thermostat to close the outside air damper or a preheat coil
to temper the outside air before it reaches the unit. It should be
noted that none of these methods will adequately protect the
coil in the event of power failure. The safest method of freeze
protection is to use glycol in the proper percent solution for the
coldest expected air temperature.
Insulate ductwork as required. Use flexible connections to
minimize duct-to-unit alignment problems and noise transmis-
sion where specified.
Set unit markings for minimum clearance to combustible
materials and first 3 ft of ductwork. Install ductwork, accessory
grilles and plenums so that they do not restrict access to filter.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for undesirable
system operation due to improper system design, equipment or
component selection, and/or installation of ductwork, grilles,
and other related components.
Step 5 — Frame and Finish Unit — Models 42SG,
SH, SJ, SU and SM have factory enclosures and may be fin-
ished with normally accepted wall covering. However, drywall
secured with adhesive bonding alone is not recommended.
The 42S units are designed to have gypsum board or other
types of wall board applied directly to the unit cabinet surface
to a maximum combined thickness of
5
/
8
-inch. Use low-pro-
file sheet metal panhead screws to secure wallboard to unit
frame. Fasteners may penetrate the cabinet no more than
1
/
2
inch.
These fasteners must be located to avoid damage to internal
components and wiring in the same manner as anchoring fas-
teners. Do not apply sheet metal screw or nails where they can
penetrate coil, riser pipes, or electrical junction box and race-
ways.
Do not secure wallboard to drain pan edges or to control
box enclosure. Condensate leaks or electrical shorts may result.
An alternate method of enclosing the unit is to frame one or
more sides with studding and apply the wall board to this fram-
ing. This method requires specific unit features and return ac-
cess panels when used on the return-air side of a unit. Units not
properly equipped will exhibit poor cooling and/or heating per-
formance and could experience excessive or premature compo-
nent failures.
Prevent sheetrock dust or other debris from settling on coil
fins, motor-blower assembly or other unit interior surfaces.
EXPOSED UNIT FINISH, TOUCH-UP AND
REPAINT — Return access and exposed cabinet units may be
furnished with a baked enamel finish. Small scratches in this
finish may be repaired with touch-up paint available from the
factory. Some colors of touch-up paint are available in aerosol
containers and all touch-up paint is available in pint, quart, and
gallon cans.
To repaint the factory-baked enamel, the finish should be
prepared by light sanding with no. 280 grit sand paper or
no. 000 or no. 0000 fine steel wool. The surface may also be
wiped with a liquid surface etch cleaning product such as “No
Sand” or “Pasceo.” These items should be available at most
paint product stores. It should be noted that the more conscien-
tiously this preparation is done, the more effective it will be.
After this preparation is accomplished, the factory finish
should provide excellent adhesion for a variety of air-dried top
coats. Enamel will give a more durable, higher gloss finish,
while latex will not adhere as well and will give a dull, softer
finish. Top coats involving an exothermic chemical process be-
tween two components, such as epoxies and urethanes, should
be avoided.
Factory aerosol touch-up paint may require a number of
light “dust coats” to isolate the factory-baked enamel finish
from the quick drying touch-up paint.
Step 6 — Cut Out Openings for Grilles and
Thermostats — On all units with optional supply-air or
return-air grilles, dampers, thermostats, and switch plates, cut
out openings where specified on the job plans. Be careful not to
cut wires, piping or structural supports.
For remote-mounted thermostats use a steel thermostat
shield ring to protect drywall from thermostat wiring where
applicable.
If not included on the unit or furnished from the factory,
supply and return grilles should be provided as recommended
in the product catalog.
Step 7 — Make Final Preparations
1. Turn off power to the unit (open unit electrical disconnect).
2. Install thermostats and perform any other final wiring as
applicable. Check the unit for any loose wires.
3. Perform a final visual inspection. All equipment, ple-
nums, ductwork, and piping should be inspected to verify
that all systems are complete and properly installed and
mounted, and that no debris or foreign articles such as pa-
per or drink cans are left in the units or other areas. Clean
dirt, dust, and other construction debris from unit interior.
Be sure to check fan wheel and housing.
4. Rotate fan wheel by hand to be sure it is free and does not
rub housing. Check that wing nuts securing fan assembly
to fan deck are tight.
5. Ensure all panels and filters are installed before checking
fan operation. Turn on power to the unit.
6. Install filter in frame at front of coil. If field-supplied
filters are used, be sure size is as specified in Tables 1-4.
7. ECM (Electronically Commutated) Blower:
If the unit is equipped with an ECM blower, additional
steps may be required during the air balancing process.
CAUTION
Prevent dust and debris from settling in unit. If wall finish
or color is to be spray applied, cover all openings to pre-
vent spray from entering unit. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the unit and/or the reduction of unit effi-
ciency.
CAUTION
Proper safety procedures should be followed regarding
ventilation and safety equipment during touch-up and
repainting since materials may pose a health hazard. The
manufacturer's directions should be followed for the prod-
ucts being used.
CAUTION
Do not start up or operate unit without filter. Be sure filter
and unit interior are clean. Failure to do so could result in
damage to the equipment or building and furnishings and/
or void all manufacturer's warranties.
