Carrier 48GH - Manual (Page 3)

Unit must remain in an upright position during all
rigging and moving operations. Unit must be level
for proper condensate drainage; therefore, ground-
level pad or field-supplied mounting curb must be
level before setting unit in place.
ROOFTOP INSTALLATION
CAUliON: When instalHng nnit on a rooftop^
he sare roof support tits odditionaJ weight.
Refer to Prodìtct Data Digest to ohiaia total
weight aad corner weight Istformailon,
When installing a Model 4»GH/GL end-
discharge unit with a field-supplied downflow
plenum, a field-supplied roof-mounting curb must
be installed on and flashed into roof before unit
installation.
When installing a Model 48GH/GL end-
discharge unit without a downflow plenum, place
unit on a level base that provides proper support. On
flat roofs be sure that unit is located at least 4 in.
above highest expected water level on roof to pre­
vent flooding. Consult local codes for additional
installation requirements.
GROUND-LEVEL INSTALLATION — Place
unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum
of 4 in. thick and that extends approximately 2 in.
beyond casing on all 4 sides of unit. Do not secure
unit to pad except when required by local codes.
CLEARANCES — The required minimum oper­
ating and service clearances are shown in Fig. 1.
Condenser fan discharges thru top of unit. En­
sure that fan discharge does not recirculate to
condenser coil. Do not locate unit in either a corner
or under a complete overhead obstruction. Mini­
mum clearance under a partial overhang (such as a
normal house roof overhang) is 3 ft above vent cap.
Do not locate unit where water, falling ice or snow
from an overhang or roof will damage or flood the
unit. Do not locate unit where grass, shrubs, or
other plants will interfere with airflow either into
or out of unit.
Condensate Disposal
NOTE: Ensure that condensate-water disposal
methods comply with local codes, restrictions and
practices.
Models 48GH/GL dispose of condensate water
thru a 3/4-in. MPT drain fitting. See Fig. 1 for
location.
Install a 3-in. trap at drain fitting to ensure
proper drainage. See Fig. 3. Make sure trap outlet
is at least 2 in. lower than unit drain pan connection
to prevent pan from overflowing. Prime trap with
water.
If the installation requires draining condensate
water away from the unit, connect a drain tube
using a minimum of 7/8-in. OD copper tubing.

•Recommended, field-supplied air filter areas shown are based on either cooling airflow at a velocity of 300 ft per
minute or heating airflow at a temperature of 60 F, depending on whichever value is larger Air filter pressure drop
should not exceed 0 08 in wg for unit to produce rated cooling performance
tWhen Models 48GH024 or GH036 are installed for operation at minimum rated heating input, recommended
minimum air filter area is the smaller sq in figure shown for each type of filter Larger figures shown are mini-
