These instructions

must be read and understood completely before attempting

installation.

It is important that the Blower and Duct System be properly sized to allow the system to operate at full capacity. Poorly
designed systems will not give satisfactory cooling or economy, They may even shorten the service life of the compressor in the outdoor unit,

INSTALLATION
EBA and EBD Coils are designed for Upflow application
only (refer to Figures 3 & 4). Using these coils in other
configurations may result is excessive water blow-off.
EBA Loose Coils are shipped with a metal collar plate
approximately the same size as the drain pan. The collar
plate must be installed between the drain pan and the furnace or air handler cabinet to prevent condensation inside the cabinet. Position the collar plate as shown in
Figure 1, with the flanges pointing down, towards the furnace or air handler cabinet. Size the plenum or fabricate
spacers to seal against the outside of the collar and prevent air bypass.
Figure 1

EBA Collar Plate

.L

EBD Cased Coils are designed to fit furnaces and air handlers of the same width with no modifications. When an
EBD Cased Coil is applied to a narrower or wider furnace
or air handler, a field fabricated adapter is required. Refer
to Figure 2 for examples of field fabricated adapters.

PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product
damage.
When a narrower coil is installed on a wider gas
furnace (upflow, downflow, or horizontal), a field
fabricated adapter must create 3" minimum space
between furnace and coil to allow airflow to distribute evenly.
When a loose coil is installed on any GAS furnace,
the drain pan must be at least 2"away from the furnace heat exchanger to avoid drain pan damage.
When a loose coil is installed on any OIL furnace,
the drain pan must be at least 5" away from the furnace heat exchanger to avoid drain pan damage.

PROPERTY DAMAGEHAZARD

Collar Plate

Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage
A field fabricated auxiliary drain pan, with a separate drain is REQUIRED for all installations over a
finished living space or in any area that may be
damaged by overflow from a restricted main drain
pan. In some localities, local codes require an auxiliary drain pan for ANY horizontal installation.

NOTE: When coil is used in a heat pump application with
electric heat, coil must be installed upstream of the electric heater (refer to Figure 3). This prevents electric heat
from driving up refrigeration system pressure during heating cycle.
Figure 3

NOTE: When coil is installed to a gas or oil furnace, coil
must be installed downstream of the furnace heat exchanger (refer to Figure 4). This reduces condensate
formation in the furnace heat exchanger during the cooling cycle.

NOTE: When coil is installed with a Heat Pump in conjunction with a fossil fuel heating system, a Fossil Fuel

CONDENSATE

DRAIN

Coil is provided with two 3_,,NPT condensate drain connections. The connection with the larger internal opening is the primary drain, and the connection with the
smaller internal opening is the secondary (overflow)
drain. Condensate drain lines should be installed in a
manner that does not obstruct access to the filter. Use
PVC fittings on the plastic condensate pan. Finger tighten
plus 11/2turns. Do not over-tighten. Use pipe dope.
If coil is located in or above a living space where damage
may result from condensate overflow, a separate 3_,,drain
must be provided from secondary (overflow) drain connection. Run this drain to a place in compliance with local
installation codes where it will be noticed when unit is operational. Condensate flowing from secondary (overflow)
drain indicates a plugged primary drain - unit requires
service or water damage will occur.
1.

2.

Connect drain lines to the appropriate drain connections. Drain lines should not be smaller than the
drain connections (3_"),
NOTE: Traps must be used when the coil is
installed on the return air side of the system. When
coil is installed on the supply side (outlet air) it is not
necessary to install traps and better drainage is
usually achieved without traps.
Install properly sized condensate traps in the drain
lines as close to the coil as possible. Install drain
lines below the bottom of the drain pan and pitch the

NOTE: On furnace installations where the coil is located
in an unconditioned space, nuisance sweating may occur in the area around the cabinet to supply duct joint.
Wrap the joint between the cabinet and the supply duct
with a 6" wide piece of insulation with vapor barrier.

drain lines down from the coil at least ¼ inch per foot
of run. Horizontal runs over 15 feet long must also
have an anti-siphon air vent (stand pipe), installed
ahead of the horizontal run. An extremely long horizontal run may require an oversized drain line to
eliminate air trapping.
Refer to Figure 5 for minimum trap dimensions.
Route to the outside or to a floor drain. Check local
codes before connecting to a waste (sewer) line.
Prime all traps, test for leaks, and insulate drain
lines where sweating could cause water damage.
If a gravity drain cannot be used, install a condensate pump. Install the pump as close to the indoor
section as possible.

WASTE LINE CONNECTION
If the condensate line is to be connected to a waste (sewer) line, an open trap must be installed ahead of the waste
line to prevent escape of sewer gases (refer to Figure 6).

EXPLOSION

HAZARD

Failure to provide trap could result in personal injury, death, or property damage.
Provide trap with air gap in drain line when connecting to waste (sewer) line. Refer to Figure 6.

Remove cabinet door. Remove tubing plate with
rubber grommets and slide plate with grommets
onto the refrigerant lines (field line-set), away from
braze joints.
Remove rubber plugs from coil stubs using a pulling
and twisting motion. Hold coil stubs steady to avoid
bending or distorting.

material such as a wet cloth.

4,

Fit refrigerant lines into coil stubs. Wrap a heat sinking material such as a wet cloth behind braze joints.

METERING

DEVICE

EBD and EBA coils have a factory installed hard shut-off
TXV designed only for use with R-22 refrigerant. Use
only with outdoor units designed for R-22.
TXV is factory set and not field adjustable.

PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in product
damage.
This Coil has a hard shut-off TXV metering device.
A compressor Hard Start Kit is required in all applications where the matching outdoor unit has a
single-phase reciprocating compressor.

CHECK AND ADJUST AIR FLOW

ELECTRICAL

SHOCK HAZARD

3.

Using the manometer (draft gauge or flow gauge),
measure the static pressure drop across the dry coil
and compare it to the numbers in Figure 10.

4.

Find the corresponding CFM in Figure 10.

Failure to shut of electric power could result in
personal injury or death.

Adjusting

Before adjusting blower speed, shut off electric
power to the furnace or blower module.

If CFM is too low, increase the blower speed and measure
the static pressure drop again. Determine CFM from Figure 10.

It is important that the correct amount of air (CFM) flows
through the coil. The installer must determine the required CFM based on the characteristics of the specific
system (such as system size, ducting, components, and
accessories). In general, 400 CFM per ton is the nominal
required value, with a range of 350 - 450 CFM per ton.
Check Static Pressure Drop and CFM Across Coil
The amount of air (CFM) is related to a pressure drop. To
determine the CFM, measure the pressure drop using an
inclined manometer (sometimes called draft gauge or air
flow gauge).
1.

The coil should be dry and clean. The air filter must
be clean and in place. All registers open. DO NOT
run the outdoor unit when checking air flow.

2.

Run the blower on cooling speed.

484 01 3000 00

Air Flow

If CFM is too high, reduce the blower speed and measure
the static pressure drop again. Determine CFM from Figure 10.
NOTE: Change blower speed as shown in the instructions for the furnace or air handler.
NOTE: It may not be possible to obtain a gauge reading
exactly the same as shown in Figure 10. This is due to
variations in duct systems and blower speeds.
If the motor is at the highest speed and the CFM is still not
high enough, replace the blower and/or motor with a larger size.
If the unit has an adjustable belt driven blower, use an ammeter to check the motor current draw. If the current draw
is higher than the motor name plate amps, replace the
motor with one of greater horsepower.
