5 Pre-Installation Considerations
5.1 Preparation
Keep this document with the unit. Carefully read all instructions for the installation prior to installing product. Make sure each
step or procedure is understood and any special considerations are taken into account before starting installation. Assemble all
tools, hardware and supplies needed to complete the installation. Some items may need to be purchased locally. Make sure
everything needed to install the product is on hand before starting.
5.2 System Matches
The entire system (combination of indoor and outdoor sections) must be manufacturer approved and Air-Conditioning, Heating,
and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) listed. NOTE: Installation of unmatched systems is not permitted. Damage or repairs due to
installation of unmatched systems is not covered under the warranty.
5.3 Interconnecting Tubing
Give special consideration 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 Set Application R-410A for tubing guidelines. If possible, allow adequate
length of tubing such that the coil may be removed (for inspection or cleaning services) from the cabinet without disconnecting
the tubing.
5.4 Clearances
The unit clearance from a combustible surface may be 0". However, service clearance must take precedence. A minimum of 24" in
front of the unit for service clearance is required. Additional clearance on one side or top will be required for electrical wiring
connections. Consult all appropriate regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances. When installing this unit in an area
that may become wet (such as crawl spaces), elevate the unit with a sturdy, non-porous material. In installations that may lead to
physical damage (i.e. a garage) it is advised to install a protective barrier to prevent such damage. Always install units such that a
positive slope in condensate line (1/4" per foot) is allowed.
