Vertical units:

To remove the main drain pan on

vertical fan-coil units, disconnect

the clips holding the pan to the

fanboard. Disconnect the main

and overflow drain hoses and

slide pan forward to remove. See

Figure 33.

Horizontal units:

To remove the main drain pan on

a horizontal fan-coil unit, peel the

insulation from the edges of the

pan’s underside to access the

mounting screws. Remove the

screws and lower the end of the

drain pan closest to the control

box. Remove the drain spout by

pulling it from the hole in the

chassis end panel. See Figure

34.

Note: Do not operate the fan-coil unit without the main and auxiliary

drain pans in place to prevent condensate leakage.

Make provisions to ensure adequate protection against coil freeze-up.

If the fan-coil units are not in operation, the coil/s should be vented at

the factory vent/s and drained at the piping system drain port/s. See

Table 38 on page 94 for approximate piping package volumes for

piping systems using ethylene glycol. Table 39 on page 94 lists

approximate hydronic coil volumes.

It is necessary to properly prepare the units for cold weather. If a coil

is not in use and is subject to temperatures below 32° F, drain the

coil to prevent coil freezeup. Locate the drain (installer supplied) in

the field piping system.
