SECTION II - Unit Mounting:This section describes appropriate methods for mounting and securing Allegiance cooling units and Heritageheat pump units. However, if these units are to be mounted in a region where seizmic loads or high windsare an issue, please refer to the American Standard BAYECMT001 extreme conditions mounting kitinstallation instructions publication Number #18-HE44D1-* (* latest verstion )

When mounting or securing American Standard 1 - 6 ton condensing units and heat pumps please observethe following.

1. Anytime the unit is to be supported from the edge, the supporting material shall extend minimum twoinches under the perimeter of the unit’s base.

2. The mounting hole locations are molded in the basepan, however, they must be drilled through.a) Hole locations are identified on page 6.b) Hole diameter is 5/16”

3. Washers should be placed in between the fastener head and the basepan.4. American Standard recommends supporting the center of the unit.5. Base 4 pans have four mounting holes.

Refer to the dimension tables for actual unit size.Please refer to the following illustrations for dimensions and general information.

Section III - Minimum Operating Clearances

This section discusses applying a condensing unit / heat pump in installations where there are spaceconstraints. The reduced clearances described in this document are for operation purposes only.Local Codes prevail for servicing and sefety.

These concerns must be addressed:1. System Operation - Adequate airflow must be provided to the condensing unit / heat pump in orderto enable appropriate heat transfer. If this is accomplished, head pressure will remain within an effectiveoperating range.2. System Servicability - Proper space must be allowed for the HVAC service technician to properlymaintain the condensing unit / heat pump. Furthermore, space must be allowed for majorcomponent change out in the event of a failure. Working space is determined by the National ElectricCode3. Space Maintenance - Appropriate area must be allowed in order maintain the ground area where theunits are positioned to prohibit debris from collecting on the panels, thus further providing unobstructedairflow to the condensing unit.4. State, Local Codes, and National Codes shall prevail. Check with the local jurisdiction beforeinstallation to assure compliance.

Numerous projects require reduced clearances between outdoor units and adjacent walls, fences and otherunits. The obstruction in question is usually one of the following:

1. One or more walls of an adjacent building.2. Fences or barriers provided to reduce sound transmission or visually screen the equipment.3. Other outdoor units in a multi-unit installation.4. Overhangs5. A combination of the above.

The prime considerations involved in establishing minimum clearances are:1. Adequate airflow to the outdoor coil with minimum recirculation.2. Service access to the equipment.3. Compliance with the National Electric Code and other applicable codes.4. Design temperature - Design temperatures greater than 105F require additional consideration.

I. In order to assure that adequate airflow reaches the Allegiance 18 condensing unit, size free air passagesat 300 feet per minute maximum velocity (FPM). See condensing unit airflow performance on page 16 ofthis document; or, for the most current information, consult the unit’s product data manual.

II. The importance of providing sufficient access for maintenance and service to equipment cannot beoveremphasized. The HVAC service technician’s job may be performed with greater ease and at lower costif adequate space is allowed.

III. Knowledge of the National Electric Code and other applicable codes for the job sight location is anecessity in order to satisfy local inspectors. These codes are in place for service as well as safety.

IV. Be sure to read all provisions and footnotes contained in this document. When ambient temperaturesexceed 105F, more space may be required for minimum operating clearances.

The fence heightshall not exceed that of the unit. It is recommended to install louvers in the fence to allowno greater than 300 feet per minute velocity. Consult the table on page 18 for unit airflow.Place louvers in the lower section of the fence by each unit in order to provide air access toeach unit located by the fence. The lower portion of the fence may also be cut in order toequal the calculated free area.

Notes:• Service access working clearance (3 feet) for electrical and refrigerant components must meet NEC Article 110-16

requirements and local codes.Note:

Minimum working clearance must be in compliance with the National Electric Code. Currently,

the minimum clearance between a wood or suitable grounding material type fence requires

minimum 3 feet. If other material is used to form the windshield, the minimum space may be

increased to 3.5 feet. Please consult the 2002 or current Edition of the National Electric Code,

Article 110 for the most up to date information

D) Fence construction.1) Height shall not exceed the top of the unit.2) Free air passages shall be size at no greater than 300 FPM velocity.3) Free air passages shall be cut at the lower portion of the fence.4) Fence may also be undercut to allow free air passage provided grass, vegetation, or debris willnot obstruct the free air passage.5) Shrubbery shall not be planted within one foot of the fence.6) If removable panel is utilized, the distance from the unit’s service panel to the removable panelmay be reduced to 2.0 feet. (3.0 feet if geographical location’s design outdoor dry bulb is greaterthan 1050 F.

E) Windshields:If low ambient operation to 30F or lower is required, windshields may be required to block prevailingwinds from impacting system performance at low outdoor temperatures.

Electrical Code Information

Compliance with Local, State, and National Codes is a must on every HVAC Installation. This pagediscusses the criteria regarding minimum working spaces as defined in the 2002 National Electric Code.The main concern is the safety of the HVAC service / maintenance person. Minimum working clearancesare specified in the National Electric Code (NEC) Article 110.26

For electrical equipment that from ground to power the voltage is 600 volts or less:The National Electric Code specifically states that service area around electrical equipment shall providesufficient access, and shall be properly maintained in order to permit safe operation and maintenance of theequipment. Table 110.26 as well as the figures beside the table describe the minimum clearance for properservice and access to electrical equipment.

American Standard residential and light commercial condensing units ranging from 1 to 6 ton require accessto the side service panel as indicated on the previous pages to gain access to the electrical controls.

Condition 1(3 ft min. for 151 - 600 V)

Condition 2(Space would increase to 3 1/2 ft for 151 - 600 V)

Condition 3(Space would increase to 4 ft for 151 - 600 V)

Note: Where the conditions are as followsCondition 1 - Exposed live parts on one side and no live or grounded partson the other side of the working space, or exposed live parts on both sideseffectively guarded by suitable wood or other insulating materials. Insulatedwire or insulated busbars operating at not over 300 volts to ground shall notbe considered live partsCondition 2 - Exposed live parts on one side and grounded parts on theother side. Concrete, brick, or tile walls shall be considered as grounded.Condition 3 - Exposed live parts on both sides of the work space (notguarded as provided in Condition 1) with the operator between.

Required Opening = CFM / 300 FPM (Maximum)Example:Given:Qty of 2 units in an area surrounded by a fence on two sides and solid walls on the other two sides. Unitsare 2A7A2060B1000A -Required:Determine free air opening space required in fence -Solution:4275CFM X Qty of 2 = 8550 CFM8550 CFM / 300 FPM = 28.5 square feetRound 28.5to 29 square feet of free air opening in the fence sections surrounding the units. It is recom-mended to place these opening equally on all four sides, however, if one or two of the sides are sections ofthe building structure, it is acceptable to place them on two sides.
