COOLING COIL PIPING
These fan coil units are supplied with a direct expansion refrigerant coil. The
suction and liquid refrigerant lines must be sized in accordance with the
outdoor unit manufacturer’s recommendations.
CAUTION: When connecting piping to fan coil units, do not bend or reposition the coil header
tubing for alignment purposes. This could cause a tubing fracture
resulting in a
refrigerant leak when pressure is applied to the system.
Condensate drain lines must be installed with adequate slope away from the
unit to assure positive drainage. Since the drain pan is located on the suction
side of the blower, a negative pressure exists at the drain pan. HBX fan coil
units require a minimum trap of 1-1/2 inches provided in the drain line to
assure proper drainage.
WARNING: On units with plastic drain pans the drain connections must be made hand tight
only.
AUXILIARY
CONDENSATE
SWITCH
Auxiliary condensate switch may be installed in lieu on auxiliary drain line as
permitted by local code.
NOISE
These fan coil units are designed for quiet operation, however, all air
conditioning equipment will transfer some amount of noise to the conditioned
space. This should be taken into consideration when planning the location of
the equipment.
