Chilled Water Piping
See Table 3 for chilled water connection sizes. For ease in brazing, 
it is recommended that all internal solder joints be made before 
unit is placed in final position.
Knockouts are provided in the unit corner posts for 40RFS 
refrigerant piping. Additional field-fabricated access holes are 
required for 40RFS chilled water piping. See Fig. 6, which lists 
recommended knockouts and access holes to use for each 40RFS 
unit size.
To size, design, and install chilled water piping, consult the Carrier 
System Design manual. See Fig. 10 for an example of a typical in-
stallation. Recommended fittings are listed in Table 8.
To access 40RFS coil vents and drains, remove the unit side panel 
over the coil header. Vent and drain plugs are on the top and 
bottom of header, respectively. See the Service section for infor-
mation on preventing coil freeze-up during winter.
