Give special consideraon to minimize the length of refrigerant
tubing when installing air handlers. Refer to Remote Cooling/
Heat Pump Service Manual RS6200006, and TP-107 Long Line

The unit clearance from a combusble surface may be 0”.
However, service clearance must take precedence. A minimum

Addional clearance on one side or top will be required for
electrical wiring connecons. Consult all appropriate reg-
ulatory codes prior to determining nal clearances. When
installing this unit in an area that may become wet (such as
crawl spaces), elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-porous ma-
terial. In installaons that may lead to physical damage (i.e. a
garage) it is advised to install a protecve barrier to prevent
such damage. Always install units such that a posive slope
in condensate line (1/4” per foot) is allowed.
5.5 HorizontalApplicaons
If installed above a nished living space, a secondary drain
pan (as required by many building codes), must be installed

discharge.
