Air Filter Installation
The packaged unit requires an air filter. The unit does not come
with a factory installed filter rack in it, however, two filter frame ac-
cessories are offered that will allow the installation of a filter within
the unit, BAYFLTR101 & BAYFLTR201. Otherwise a field supplied
filter rack must be installed by the installer in the return duct work.
Refer to Table1 to determine filter sizes for field supplied filter racks.
Attaching Horizontal Ductwork to Unit
All conditioned air ductwork should be insulated to minimize heating
and cooling duct losses. Use a minimum of two (2) inches of insulation
with a vapor barrier. The outside ductwork must be weatherproofed
between the unit and the building. See Figure 15.
When attaching ductwork to a horizontal unit, provide a flexible
watertight connection to prevent noise transmission from the unit
to the ducts. The flexible connection must be indoors and made
out of heavy canvas.
NOTE: Do not draw the canvas taut between the solid ducts.
Attaching Downow Ductwork to Roof Curb
Supply and return air flanges are provided on the roof curb for easy
duct installation. All ductwork must be run and attached to the curb
before the unit is set into place. Refer to the Roof Mounting Curb
Installer's Guide for details.
Attaching Downow Ductwork to Roof Frame
Follow these guidelines for ductwork construction:
Connections to the unit should be made with three-inch canvas
connectors to minimize noise and vibration transmission.
Elbows with turning vanes or splitters are recommended to minimize
air noise and resistance.
The first elbow in the ductwork leaving the unit should be no closer
than two (2) feet from the unit, to minimize noise and resistance.
To prevent leaking, do not attach the ductwork to the bottom of the
unit base as the bottom example in Figure 14, below shows.
Condensate Drain Piping
A 3/4-inch female NPT condensate drain connection is provided on
the evaporator access panel end of the unit. Provide a trap and fill
it with water before starting the unit to avoid air from being drawn
through. Follow local codes and standard piping practices when
running the drain line. Pitch the line downward away from the unit.
Avoid long horizontal runs. See Figure 16, below.
NOTE: Do not use reducing ttings in the drain lines.
The condensate drain must be:
〿 Made of 3/4" pipe size.
〿 Pitched 1/4" per foot to provide free drainage to convenient drain
system.
〿 Trapped.
〿 Must not be connected to a closed drain system unless the trap
is properly vented.
