SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing air-conditioning equipment can be
hazardous due to system pressure and electrical compo-
nents. Only trained and qualified service personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All
other operations should be performed by trained service per-
sonnel. When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe
precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the
unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire
extinguishers available for all brazing operations.
IMPORTANT: Units have high ambient operating limits. If
limits are exceeded, the unit will automatically lock the com-
pressor out of operation. Manual reset will be required to
restart the compressor.
INSTALLATION
I. STEP 1 — PROVIDE UNIT SUPPORT
A. Roof Curb
Assemble and install accessory roof curb or horizontal
adapter roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped
with the curb or horizontal adapter. Accessory roof curb and
horizontal adapter roof curb and information required to
field fabricate a roof curb or horizontal adapter roof curb are
shown in Fig. 1A, 1B and 2. Install insulation, cant strips,
roofing, and counter flashing as shown. Ductwork can be
secured to roof curb before unit is set in place.
IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb or
adapter roof curb is critical for a leak-proof seal. Install
gasket supplied with the roof curb or adapter roof curb as
shown in Fig. 1A and 1B. Improperly applied gasket can
result in air leaks and poor unit performance.
Curb or adapter roof curb should be level. This is necessary
to permit unit drain to function properly. Unit leveling toler-
ance is ±
1
/
16
in. per linear ft in any direction. Refer to Acces-
sory Roof Curb or Horizontal Adapter Roof Curb Installation
Instructions for additional information as required.
B. Alternate Unit Support
When the curb or adapter cannot be used, support unit with
sleepers using unit curb or adapter support area. If sleepers
cannot be used, support long sides of unit with a minimum of
3 equally spaced 4-in. x 4-in. pads on each side.
II. STEP 2 — RIG AND PLACE UNIT
Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim with
transportation agency. Keep unit upright, and do not drop.
Use spreader bars over unit to prevent sling or cable dam-
age. Rollers may be used to move unit across a roof. Level by
using unit frame as a reference; leveling tolerance is ±
1
/
16
in.
per linear ft in any direction. See Fig. 3 for additional infor-
mation. Unit weight is shown in Table 1.
Four lifting holes are provided in ends of unit base rails as
shown in Fig. 3. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
A. Positioning
Provide clearance around and above unit for airflow, safety,
and service access (Fig. 4-6).
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air
inlets near exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated
air.
Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from
higher level runoff and overhangs.
B. Roof Mount
Check building codes for weight distribution requirements.
WARNING: Before performing service or mainte-
nance operations on unit, turn off main power switch
to unit and install lockout tag on disconnect switch.
Electrical shock could cause personal injury.

    What to do if my Bryant Air Conditioner compressor won't start, but the condenser fan runs?
    • M
      Meghan ClarkAug 19, 2025
      If your Bryant Air Conditioner's condenser fan is running but the compressor isn't starting, check these potential issues: * **Wiring Problems:** Look for faulty wiring or loose connections in the compressor circuit. Check the wiring and repair or replace as needed. * **Compressor Motor Issues:** The compressor motor might be burned out, seized, or have an internal overload open. Determine the cause and replace the compressor. * **Defective Overload:** Determine the cause and replace the overload. * **Compressor Lockout:** The compressor may be locked out. Determine the cause for the safety trip and reset the lockout. * **Power Issues:** One leg of the 3-phase power may be dead. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker and determine the cause.

    What to do if my Bryant DURAPAC 558F compressor and condenser fan will not start?
    • C
      Caitlin CrossAug 21, 2025
      If your Bryant Air Conditioner's compressor and condenser fan aren't starting, here's what you can check: * **Power Failure:** Contact your power company to check for outages. * **Blown Fuse or Tripped Breaker:** Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped circuit breakers. * **Defective Components:** A defective thermostat, contactor, transformer, or control relay could be the issue, consider replacing the component. * **Low Voltage:** Insufficient line voltage can prevent starting. Determine the cause and correct it. * **Wiring Issues:** Review the wiring diagram and correct any incorrect or faulty wiring. * **Thermostat Setting:** Ensure the thermostat is set below the current room temperature.

    Why does my Bryant DURAPAC 558F compressor run continuously?
    • S
      Sara MorrisAug 25, 2025
      If your Bryant Air Conditioner's compressor is constantly running, consider these potential causes: * **Dirty Air Filter:** Replace the air filter. * **Undersized Unit:** The unit may be too small for the cooling load. Try decreasing the load or increasing the unit size. * **Thermostat Setting:** Reset the thermostat to a higher temperature. * **Low Refrigerant:** There might be a refrigerant leak. Locate the leak, repair it, and recharge the system. * **Air in System:** The system may have air inside. Recover the refrigerant, evacuate the system, and recharge. * **Dirty Condenser Coil:** Clean the condenser coil or remove any restrictions.

    How to reduce excessive head pressure in my Bryant DURAPAC 558F?
    • C
      crystal75Aug 28, 2025
      To address excessive head pressure in your Bryant Air Conditioner, consider the following: * **Dirty Air Filter:** Replace the air filter. * **Dirty Condenser Coil:** Clean the condenser coil. * **Refrigerant Overcharge:** Recover the excess refrigerant. * **Faulty TXV:** Check the TXV bulb mounting and secure it tightly to the suction line. If the TXV is still faulty (stuck open or closed), replace it. * **Air in System:** Recover the refrigerant, evacuate the system, and recharge. * **Condenser Airflow:** Ensure the condenser air is not restricted or short-cycling. Determine the cause and correct it.

    What to do if the subcooler will not energize in my Bryant DURAPAC 558F?
    • T
      tanya45Sep 8, 2025
      If the subcooler in your Bryant Air Conditioner isn't energizing, check the following: * **Power to Transformer:** Ensure there's power to the subcooler control transformer. Check the power source and make sure all wire connections are tight. * **Power from Transformer to Valve:** Check for power from the subcooler control transformer to the liquid line three-way valve. Look for an open fuse and check its continuity. Also, check the subcooler control low-pressure switch and cycle the unit off to allow it to reset; replace the switch if it doesn't close. Finally, test the transformer itself. * **Liquid Line Valve Operation:** If there is power, inspect the liquid line three-way valve. Replace the solenoid coil if defective, or replace the entire solenoid valve if it's stuck closed.
