Inspection
Prior to initial use, and at monthly intervals, all rigging shackles,
clevis pins, and straps should be visually inspected for any
damage, evidence of wear, structural deformation, or cracks.
Particular attention should be paid to excessive wear at hoist
hooking points and load support areas. Materials showing any kind
of wear in these areas must not be used and should be discarded.
UNIT FALLING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Never stand beneath rigged units or lift over people.
!
WARNING
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury/death or property damage.
When straps are taut, the clevis should be a minimum of 36
in. (914 mm) above the unit top cover.
!
WARNING
Rigging/Lifting of Unit (See Fig. 5)
Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig. 2 and 3.
1. Leave top shipping skid on the unit for use as a spreader bar
to prevent the rigging straps from damaging the unit. If the
skid is not available, use a spreader bar of sufficient length
to protect the unit from damage.
2. Attach shackles, clevis pins, and straps to the base rails of
the unit. Be sure materials are rated to hold the weight of the
unit (See Fig. 5).
3. Attach a clevis of sufficient strength in the middle of the
straps. Adjust the clevis location to ensure unit is lifted level
with the ground.
After the unit is placed on the roof curb or mounting pad, remove
the top skid.
Step 6 — Connect Condensate Drain
NOTE: When installing condensate drain connection be sure to
comply with local codes and restrictions.
Model 48EZ--A disposes of condensate water through a 3/4 in.
NPT fitting which exits through the compressor access panel (See
Fig. 2 and 3 for location).
Condensate water can be drained directly onto the roof in rooftop
installations (where permitted) or onto a gravel apron in ground
level installations. Install a field--supplied condensate trap at end
of condensate connection to ensure proper drainage. Make sure that
the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. (25 mm) lower than the
drain--pan condensate connection to prevent the pan from
overflowing (See Fig. 6). Prime the trap with water. When using a
gravel apron, make sure it slopes away from the unit.
If the installation requires draining the condensate water away
from the unit, install a 2--in. (51 mm) trap at the condensate
connection to ensure proper drainage (See Fig. 6). Make sure that
the outlet of the trap is at least 1 in. (25 mm) lower than the
drain--pan condensate connection. This prevents the pan from
overflowing.
Prime the trap with water. Connect a drain tube -- using a minimum
of 3/4--in. PVC or 3/4--in. copper pipe (all field--supplied) -- at the
outlet end of the 2--in. (51 mm) trap. Do not undersize the tube.
Pitch the drain tube downward at a slope of at least 1--in. (25 mm)
for every 10 ft (3 m) of horizontal run. Be sure to check the drain
tube for leaks.

Step 7 — Install Flue Hood
The flue assembly is secured and shipped in the return air duct.
Remove duct cover to locate the assembly (See Fig. 8 and 9).
NOTE: Dedicated low NOx models MUST be installed in
California Air Quality Management Districts where a Low NOx
rule exists.
These models meet the California maximum oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) emissions requirements of 40 nanograms/joule or less as
shipped from the factory.
NOTE: Low NOx requirements apply only to natural gas
installations.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
The venting system is designed to ensure proper venting.
The flue hood assembly must be installed as indicted in this
section of the unit installation instructions.
!
WARNING
Install the flue hood as follows:
1. This installation must conform with local building codes
and with the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA 54 /
ANSI Z223.1, (in Canada, CAN/CGA B149.1, and
B149.2) latest revision. Refer to Provincial and local
plumbing or wastewater codes and other applicable local
codes.
2. Remove flue hood from shipping location (inside the return
section of the blower compartment--see Fig. 8 & 9). Re-
move the return duct cover to locate the flue hood. Place
flue hood assembly over flue panel. Orient screw holes in
flue hood with holes in the flue panel.
3. Secure flue hood to fluepanel by inserting a single screw on
the top flange and the bottom flange of the hood.
Step 8 — Install Gas Piping
The gas supply pipe enters the unit through the access hole
provided. The gas connection to the unit is made to the 1/2--in.
(12.7 mm) FPT gas inlet on the gas valve.
Install a gas supply line that runs to the heating section. Refer to
Table 2 and the NFGC for gas pipe sizing. Do not use cast--iron
pipe. It is recommended that a black iron pipe is used. Check the
local utility for recommendations concerning existing lines. Size
gas supply piping for 0.5 IN. W.C. maximum pressure drop. Never
use pipe smaller than the 1/2--in. (12.7 mm) FPT gas inlet on the
unit gas valve.
For natural gas applications, the gaspressure at unit gas connection
must not be less than 4.0 IN. W.C. or greater than 13 IN. W.C.
while the unit is operating. For propane applications, the gas
pressure must not be less than 11.0 IN. W.C. or greater than 13 IN.
W.C. at the unit connection.
