Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation, starting up, and servicing of heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning equipment can be hazardous and requires specific knowledge and training. Improperly installed, adjusted or altered
equipment by an unqualified person could result in death or serious injury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in the
literature and on the tags, stickers, and labels that are attached to the equipment.

Table 5. Suggested Locations for Best Reliability

Avoid Install
• Ensure the top discharge area is unrestricted for at least 5 Near Bedrooms
feet above the unit.
• Provide at least 3 feet clearance in front of the control box
(access panels) and any other side requiring service.
• Do not locate close to bedrooms as operational sounds may
be objectionable.
Min 5’ Unrestricted
• Avoid locations near windows and similar areas where
condensation and freezing defrost vapor can annoy a
customer.
• Position the outdoor unit a minimum of 12” from any wall or Min 3’
surrounding shrubbery to ensure adequate airflow. Min. 12” to Unrestricted
Shrubbery
• Outdoor unit location must be far enough away from any
structure to prevent excess roof runoff water or icicles from
falling directly on the unit.

 Unit Location Considerations

Table 6. Cold Climate Considerations (Heat Pump Only)

Note: It is recommended that these precautions be taken for

units being installed in areas where snow accumulation and
prolonged below-freezing temperatures occur.
• Units should be elevated 3–12 inches above the pad or
rooftop, depending on local weather. This additional height Min . 12”
will allow drainage of snow and ice melted during defrost cycle
prior to its refreezing. Ensure that drain holes in unit base pan Snow
Ba rrie r
are not obstructed, preventing drainage of defrost water.
• If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate snow
drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be installed
around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the sides of Snow L egs
the unit.

3-12” Elevation

Pa d

Coastal Considerations
If installed within one mile of salt water, including seacoasts and inland waterways, models without factory supplied Seacoast Salt Shields
require the addition of BAYSEAC001 (Seacoast Kit) at installation time.

 Unit Preparation
1. Check for damage and report promptly to the carrier
any damage found to the unit.

2. To remove the unit from the pallet, remove tabs by

cutting with a sharp tool.

Setting Up the Unit

Table 7. Pad Installation

When installing the unit on a support pad, such as a concrete slab,

consider the following:

• The pad should be at least 1” larger than the unit on all sides.
• The pad must be separate from any structure.
• The pad must be level.
• The pad should be high enough above grade to allow for drainage.
• The pad location must comply with National, State, and Local
codes.

Determine required line length and lift. You will need this to determine
the subcooling charging corrections later in the installation process.

Total Line Length = ___________________________Ft.

Total Vertical Change (lift) = ____________________Ft.

Table 9. Refrigerant Line Insulation

Important: The Vapor Line must always be insulated. DO NOT allow

the Liquid Line and Vapor Line to come in direct (metal to Liquid Li n e Va p o r Lin e
metal) contact.
Insulati o n
Note: The gas line must always be insulated. Insulating the liquid line
through attic spaces may benefit system performance by
minimizing heat gain in the liquid line.

all joints are brazed, not soldered.

For retrofit applications, where the existing indoor evaporator coil

and/or refrigerant lines will be used, the following precautions should
be taken.
• Ensure that the indoor evaporator coil and refrigerant lines are
the correct size.
• Ensure that the refrigerant lines are free of leaks, acid, and oil.
Important: For more information, see publication number SS-
APG006–EN

Table 11. Refrigerant Line Routing Precautions

Important: Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other structural elements.
Important: Take precautions to prevent noise within the building structure due to vibration transmission from the refrigerant lines.

For Example:
• When the refrigerant lines must be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type hangers.
• Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
• Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.
• Isolate the lines from all duct work.
• Minimize the number of 90° turns.

 Refrigerant Line Brazing
Table 15. Braze the Refrigerant Lines

1. Remove caps or plugs. Use a deburring tool to debur the pipe

ends. Clean both internal and external surfaces of the tubing
using an emery cloth.

2. Remove the pressure tap cap and valve core from each service
valves.

3. Purge the refrigerant lines and indoor coil with dry nitrogen.

4. Wrap a wet rag around the valve body to avoid heat damage and
continue the dry nitrogen purge.
5. Braze the refrigerant lines to the service valves.
a. For Units shipped with a field-installed external drier, check
liquid line filter drier’s directional flow arrow to confirm
correct direction of refrigeration flow (away from outdoor unit
and toward evaporator coil) as illustrated. Braze the filter
drier to the Liquid Line.
6. Continue the dry nitrogen purge. Do not remove the wet rag until
all brazing is completed.
Important: Remove the wet rag before stopping the dry nitrogen
purge. 3-4” fro m va lve
Note: Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to base pan
during brazing. It is recommended to keep the flame directly
off of the base pan.

7. Replace the pressure tap valve cores after the service valves have
cooled.

2. Check for leaks by using a soapy solution at each brazed location.

Note: Remove nitrogen pressure and repair any leaks before
continuing.

Refrigerant Line and Indoor Coil Evacuation

refrigerant lines and indoor coil leak check
and evacuation are complete. 0350
1. Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than Microns
350 microns, then close off the valve to the vacuum
pump.

2. Observe the micron gauge. Evacuation is complete if

the micron gauge does not rise above 500 microns in
one (1) minute.
3. When evacuation is complete, blank off the vacuum
pump and micron gauge, and close the valves on the 1 MIN.

 Charging: Weigh-In Method
Weigh-In Method can be used for the initial installation, or anytime a system charge is being replaced. Weigh-In Method can also be used when
power is not available to the equipment site or operating conditions (indoor/outdoor temperatures) are not in range to verify with the
subcooling charging method.

5. Wire present only on Variable Speed Outdoor Units.

Note: Anti-oxidizing grease is supplied in the documentation package for use when making low voltage field wiring connections at the outdoor
