ACCESSORY DUCT FLANGE KIT INSTALLATION
Refer to Fig. 26 for duct adapter dimensions and hole
locations.
1. Mark hole locations shown in Fig. 26.
2. At marked locations, drill holes using a no. 26 (.147-in.)
twist drill.
3. Partially secure duct flanges using two of the no. 10,

-in.
screws provided.
4. See the following caution. Using remaining holes in duct
flanges as templates, drill the remaining holes with the
no. 26 (.147-in.) drill.
Do not drill deeper than
1
2
-in. into shaded area shown
in Fig. 26. Damage to refrigerant coil could result.
5. Fully secure the duct flanges using the remaining screws
provided.
The finished kit installation accommodates a 14

Step 6 Provide for Condensate Disposal
NOTE: Be sure that condensate-water disposal methods com-
ply with local codes, restrictions, and practices.
Unit disposes of condensate through a
3
4
-in. NPT fitting
which exits through the compressor access panel. See
Fig. 2-9 for location of condensate connection.
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 conden-
sate trap at end of condensate connection to ensure proper
drainage. Make sure that the outlet of the trap is at least
1 in. lower than the drain-pan condensate connection to pre-
vent the pan from overflowing. See Fig. 27. 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. trap using a
3
4
-in. FPT
connection. See Fig. 27. Make sure that the outlet of the trap
is at least 1 in. lower than the unit drain-pan condensate con-
nection to prevent the pan from overflowing. Prime the trap
with water. Connect a drain tube using a minimum of
3
4
-in.
PVC,
3
4
-in. CPVC, or
3
4
-in. copper pipe (all field supplied).
Do not undersize the tube. Pitch the drain tube downward at
a slope of at least 1 in. for every 10 ft of horizontal run. Be
sure to check the drain tube for leaks. Prime trap at the be-
ginning of the cooling season start-up.
