Step 5 — Make Ductwork Connections 
All ductwork and/or supply and return grilles should be installed 
in accordance with the project plans and specifications. If not in
-
cluded on the unit or furnished from the factory, supply and return 
grilles should be provided as recommended in the product catalog. 
For units with no return-air ductwork, check local code require
-
ments for possible application restrictions. All units must be in-
stalled in areas that are non-combustible.
Some models are designed to be connected to ductwork with a 
MINIMUM amount of external static pressure. These units may 
be damaged by operation without the proper ductwork connected. 
Consult the approved submittals and the product catalog for unit 
external static pressure limitations.
Units provided with outside air for ventilation should have some 
form of low-temperature protection to prevent coil freeze-up. This 
protection may be any of several methods such as a low-tempera
-
ture thermostat to close the outside air damper or a preheat coil to 
temper the outside air before it reaches the unit.
It should be noted that none of these methods will adequately pro-
tect a coil in the event of power failure. The safest method of 
freeze protection is to use glycol in the proper percent solution for 
the coldest expected air temperature.
HORIZONTAL PLENUM TYPE
42CE units may be shipped with a bottom return-air inlet. These 
units may be converted to rear return by removing the bottom 
inlet filter retainer clips and filter, then removing the plenum rear 
panel. The rear panel must then be moved to the bottom of the 
unit and reversed so that the top edge (when rear mounted) is 
toward the supply end of the unit and reinstalled on the bottom
of the plenum. The panel should be positioned towards the drain 
pan to expose the one-inch wide filter slot for unit-mounted filters. 
The panel should be positioned against the rear bottom brace 
completely covering the bottom of the plenum on units with 
remote filters.
HI-PERFORMANCE PLENUM TYPE
42DC units may be shipped with a bottom return- air inlet. These 
units may be converted to rear return by simply exchanging the 
bottom and rear plenum panels.

IMPORTANT: Flexible duct connections should be used on all 
air handling equipment to minimize vibration transmissions. All 
ductwork and insulation should be installed to allow proper 
access to all components for service and repair such as filters, 
motor/blower assemblies, etc.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for undesirable sys-
tem operation due to improper design, equipment or component 
selection, and/or installation of base unit, ductwork, grilles, and 
other related components.
CAUTION
Prevent dust and debris from settling in unit. If wall finish or 
color is to be spray-applied, cover all openings to prevent 
spray from entering unit. Failure to do so could result in dam-
age to the unit and/or the reduction of unit efficiency.
