Plan the equipment around the job

A side-discharge proposal starts with the actual installation space.

Check the full cabinet and clearance drawings, required indoor equipment and control arrangement before selecting from nominal tonnage.

01 / Placement

Measure more than the footprint

Include the manufacturer service and air clearances, piping access and mounting requirements. Use the exact model drawing for the proposed location.

02 / Indoor equipment

Verify the R-454B application

Identify the indoor unit or coil, its operating requirements and applicable refrigerant-detection provisions. Confirm the complete manufacturer-approved application.

03 / Controls

Choose the control strategy early

The required controls and setup affect the equipment package. Use the selected model’s instructions to define the thermostat or equipment interface and accessories.

  • The listed equipment does not establish an approved combination by shared capacity alone.
  • The manufacturer family also includes a 3-ton model. This reference focuses on the models with positive dated inventory evidence; it is not a complete current assortment.
