INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Replacement Parts
Contact your distributor for authorized replacement parts.
3.2 Pre-installation Instruction
Carefully read all instructions for installation prior to installing the 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.

3.3 Installation And Trap Connection

  1. See Fig. 3-1 for coil installation and drain connection.
  2. Installation steps for cased coil:
    A. Shut off or disconnect gas furnace’s power and remove gas pipe if necessary;
    B. Disconnect and remove a sufficient portion of the supply ductwork to provide clearance for the cased coil.
    C. Ensure that the coil is leveled and seal the gap between coil and furnace.
    See Fig. 3-1. In case that coil and the furnace sizes are not matched, use proper size of sheet metal or other material to fill the gap and seal the gap to prevent air leak;
    D. Reconnect the ductwork to the coil case, and seal any leakage;
    E. Reconnect Power line on gas furnace, turn on the

DRAIN APPLICATION

4.1 Condensate Drain Piping
Consult local codes for special requirements.
To provide extra protection from water damage, it is always recommended to install an additional drain pan, provided by installer under the entire unit with a separate drain line. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damages due to the failure to follow these recommendations.

4.2 Plastic Drain Pan Installation

WARNING
Do not use the coil pan shipped with the unit on oil furnaces or any application where the temperature of the drain pan may exceed 275°F. A field fabricated metal drain pan can also be used for these type of  applications.
Failure to follow this warning may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
NOTE
Use Teflon tape on the drain line connections. Do not use pipe joint compound or PVC/CPVC cement on drain nipple.
The coil drain pan has a primary and an optional secondary drain with 3/4″ NPT female connections; use either PVC or copper pipe and hand tighten to a torque of approximately 37 in-lbs. to prevent damage to the  drain pan connection.
An insertion depth between 0.355 to 0.485 inches (3-5 turns) should be expected at this torque setting.
Use male 3/4″ NPT threaded fitting for outside connection and make sure the drain holes are not blocked.
Insulation may be needed for drain line to prevent sweating.
Drain pan has two drain connections on each side to provide flexibility of connection and drainage. Make sure pan has proper pitch and plugged if second connection is not used.
If the secondary drain line is required, run the line separately from the primary drain and terminate it where it can be easily seen.
NOTE
Water coming from this line means the coil primary drain is plugged and needs clearing.
Install a trap in the drain line below the bottom of the drain pan. If using a copper drain line, solder a short piece of pipe to the connector before installing a drain fitting. DO NOT over torque the 3/4″ copper  connector to the plastic drain connection. Use a wet rag or heatsink material on the short piece to protect plastic drain pan, complete the rag or heatsink material on the short piece to protect plastic drain pan,  complete the drain line installion (Fig. 4-1). Use (Fig. 4-2) as a template for typical drain pipe routing.
This figure shows how to avoid interference with vent piping.

REFRIGERANT CONNECTIONS

CAUTION
Gently remove the sealing plug of vapor line, use one wrench to fix valve base, loose the nut with another wrench, take out the flange pad and sealing ring.
To prevent refrigerant leak, use proper tools to ensure clean, burr-free cut.
CAUTION
TXV bulb MUST be protected (wrapped with wet rag) or removed, while brazing the tubing.
Overheating of the sensing bulb will affect the fictional characteristics and performance of the comfort coil.
Use brazing shield when brazing close to the cabinet surface and wet rag to protect rubber grommet.
Brazing alloy should be at least 5% silver content.

PISTON/TXV INSTALLATION

NOTE
A piston does come pre-installed. The piston must be removed before installing a TXV.

6.1 Piston Installation

  1. Using a wrench to loosen the nut. Remove the nut and sealing flange.

  2. Check the piston sizes for each outdoor/coil combination in Table 6-1 and choose the correct piston size for your combination.

  3. If a different size piston is needed for your system combination, remove the pre-installed piston.
    NOTE
    Avoid pulling the piston sleeve out when removing the pre-installed piston.

  4. Choose correct size piston from the doc pack and insert it with correct orientation.

  5. Replace outer O-ring with the O-ring provided in the doc pack.

  6. Attach the connection pipe with nut and tighten to 1/6th turn past hand-tighten.

NOTE
MUST wrap the nut with a wet rag before brazing.

This coil comes with a factory installed piston metering device. See Table 6-1 for factory installed piston size.
Some system combinations will require a different sized piston to be field installed.

  • Use the piston size recommended by the outdoor unit if available.
  • Reference Table 6-2 If the outdoor unit dose not list a piston size.
  • The ship-with literature bag will contain additional R-410A pistons for most applications.
  • Contact your local parts center to order the appropriate piston if it is not included with the literature.

6.2 Optional TXV Kit Installation
Reference TXV kit literature for installation instructions.

  1. Use a wrench to loosen the nut and remove the sealing flange and sealing gasket.
  2. Take out the connecting pipe from accessory package and braze the connecting pipe onto the refrigeration-out pipe.
  3. Install the sealing washers, TXV and flange connection tube.
  4. Use a wrench fasten nut and connecting pipe. (18±2N·m).
  5. Connect TXV equalizer pipe to the port on the connecting pipe.
  6. Fix bulbs on the connecting pipe using use accessory in TXV kit.

A TXV may be required to achieve minimum efficiency ratings or for long refrigerant line set applications.
Reference AHRI for system combination ratings.
Reference Table 6-2 to charge the system by superheat when using piston.
Reference the outdoor unit installation guide to charge the system when using a TXV.
