Downflow Conversion

NOTE: ATUF models should not be converted to
Downflow applications.
“D” nomenclature models are factory equipped for “Dedicated
Downflow” operation and no field conversion is required.

Conversion to downflow MUST be performed in an area that
allows access to all sides prior to placing the air handler in its
final location. To prevent the evaporator coil pan from “sweat-
ing” the DPI accessory insulation kit is to be used when per-
forming this conversion. NOTE: The DPI kit is not supplied
with this product and is to be purchased separately. See
Table 7 for the correct DPI kit.
