application flexibility. This unit may be used for upflow, downflow, hori-
zontal right, or horizontal left applications. No special kits are required

Air handlers are shipped with “Flex-coils” without a factory installed
metering device. Flex coil models allow these coils to be used with R-22
or R-410A for added flexibility to meet refrigerant choices. An orifice
metering device or a R-410A TXV should be installed in the field to
meet your system requirements.
FEATURES
Thermostatic Expansion Valve - Provides the ultimate refrigerant
control required for today’s high efficient product. The UPG bolt-on TXV
provides easy installation to convert the air handler to the required
refrigerant, which is a true bolt-on design that does not require brazing
to replace or install.
Rust-proof Plastic Drain Pans - The vertical and horizontal drain
pans in these units are made of a fiberglass reinforced thermoset poly-
mer that will not rust or compromise stability at high temperatures.
Insulated Cabinet - All air handler cabinets are thermally insulated
with 3/4” foil faced insulation to prevent sweating.
Factory Sealed - Achieves 2% or less total airflow leakage rate at
duct leakage test conditions for system airflow verification.
Durable Finish Inside and Out - Air handler casings are made of
pre-painted galvanized steel which provides a better paint to steel bond
that resists corrosion and rust creep. All internal coil sheet metal parts
are made of G60 galvanized or prepainted G30 galvanized steel.
Filters - All models have internal filter racks provided for use with 1”
thick standard size filters.
Electric Heat Kits - The 6HK series of field installed electric heat kits
are available for installation friendly and easy service applications.
These 6HK kits have heat capacities from 2 kW to 25 kW to meet the
application requirements.
ECM Variable Speed Motor - Designed for efficient, quiet operation
with added indoor comfort control. With the use of a humidistat, the sys-
tem will monitor the humidity in the home and automatically keep the

to reduce your overall heating and cooling costs.
The climate comfort system allows dealer to customize comfort settings
based on regional location.
