RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE USE
CR26 downflow evaporator coils are designed for use with
condensing units or heat pumps. Each coil is equipped with
a compression fitting that provides convenient field instal-
lation of a refrigerant metering device. Either a refrigerant
metering orifice (provided with some Lennox condensing
units) or a thermal expansion valve (ordered separately)
may be used in condensing unit applications. A check /ex-
pansion valve (ordered separately) is the only metering de-
vice approved for use in heat pump applications.
Refer to the Lennox Engineering Handbook for proper use
of these coils with Lennox furnaces, condensing units, heat
pumps and line sets.
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
who have jurisdiction before installation.
ACAUTION
AWARNING
Package 1 of 1 contains the following:
1-CR26 evaporator coil
2-Adaptor rails for width adjustment only
1-Bag assembly containing
1 - Suction line 90° street elbow
1 - Heat shield
1 - Liquid line stub (3/8" copper swedged)
4- Screws
Check equipment for shipping damage. If you find any
damage, immediately contact the last carrier.
NOTE -If there is no pressure when the rubber plug is punc-
tured, check the coil for leaks before installing the coil.
The CR26 coils are shipped with a 10 psi dry air holding
charge. Puncture the suction line rubber plug to release the
charge. Remove the rubber plug.
Loosen and remove the liquid line compression fitting. Re-
move and discard the plug which is in the distributor body.
This releases the liquid line charge.
NOTE -If there is no pressure when the plugs are re-
moved, check the coil for leaks before installing it.
An adaptor may be necessary to match the furnace supply
opening with the inlet opening of the coil cabinet. Adaptor
rails are supplied to provide width adjustment. See tables
5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 for the coil/furnace match-ups with or with-
out transitions.

1- See table 1 for the dimensions of the floor opening re-
quired to accommodate the supply air opening and the
plenum. If the unit is installed against a wall, the rear
edge of the opening must be at least 1" (25 mm) from
the wall. Cut an appropriately sized opening,

2- Lower the plenum through the floor opening. Align the
flanges on the base of the unit with the matching
flanges on the plenum, then lower the unit over the ple-
num. The coil cabinet must be level or sloped slightly
toward the drain outlet and secured and sealed to the
plenum, If the furnace and coil cabinet are the same
size, skip to step four.
Adjusting the Coil Cabinet Width
3- Install the provided adaptor rails or filler pieces on the
coil if necessary. Align the adaptor rails with the rear
of the coil cabinet. Figure 2 illustrates how the furnace,
coil, and adapter rails fit together,
G40/50 Furnace Applications -
Use the provided rails to match the coil to the furnace.
Refer to tables 5 through 9 for correct rail widths,
Place the adaptor rail flat on the top of the coil cabinet.
See figure 1, Bend the short flange up 90° at the perfo-
ration. Use the four provided screws to secure the rails
to the coil cabinet,

Applications other than the G40/G50 -
If you use the CR26 coil with furnaces other than the
G40/G50, and the furnace's width is smaller than the
coil inlet opening, install filler pieces (field-provided).
See figure 3,
If the supply opening on the furnace is larger than the
evaporator cabinet inlet opening, use an adaptor and

1 - Place a field-provided heat shield, such as a wet rag,
against the piping plate and around the piping stubs,
and sweat in the suction line. The heat shield must be
in place to guard against heat damage to the paint,
2 - Slide the liquid line compression nut onto the provided
liquid line stub. Insert the field-supplied liquid line into
the liquid line stub for brazing.
3- Braze liquid line and coil connections. Use a silver
alloy brazing rod (5 or 6 percent silver alloy for copper-
to-copper connections or 45 percent silver alloy for
copper-to-brass or copper-to-steel connections),
4- Remove the heat shield after brazing and allow the
connections to cool.
5 - Select the appropriate refrigerant metering device:
• refrigerant flow control orifice
or
• expansion valve
See the following sections: Refrigerant Flow Control
Orifice and (Check/) Thermal Expansion Valve. Follow
these sections and table 3 to install the appropriate meter-
ing device, See figure 5,

Refrigerant Flow Control Orifice
NOTE -A properly sized refrigerant flow control orifice may
be provided with the outdoor unit. Refer to table 3 to ensure
proper sizing of the refrigerant flow control orifice. An im-
properly sized flow control orifice can lead to diminished
capacities and/or efficiencies, as well as potential damage
to the unit.
• 10ACB and HS29 condensing units are shipped
with a matching metering orifice,
• See table 3 for the correct metering device match-
up.
a - Ensure that the orifice is installed with the nylon seat
pointing toward the distributor.
b - Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil on the O-ring
and insert the O-ring securely into the orifice housing,
c - Screw the liquid line stub to the orifice housing, Tight-
en the compression fitting to 20 ft-lbs,
d - The suction line service port has no core, Make sure
that the service port cap is tightened securely.
e - Insulate the refrigerant lines at the connections to pre-
vent sweating, Continue with step 7.
A IMPORTANT
(Check/) Thermal Expansion Valve
NOTE -Refer to table 3 to ensure selection of proper
(check/) expansion valve.
a - Remove factory-installed metering orifice from orifice
housing,
b - Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil on the O-ring
(shipped with the valve assembly) and place it secure-
ly in the orifice housing,
c - Insert the expansion valve into the orifice housing and
tighten the expansion valve compression fitting.
d - Screw the liquid line compression nut (with the liquid
line) on the threaded end of the expansion valve,
Tighten the fitting to 20 ft.-Ibs.
e - Install the expansion valve equalizer line on the suc-
tion line service port.
NOTE -Make sure that the equalizer line fitting is tight-
ened securely.
f - Use the clamp provided with the valve assembly to se-
cure the sensing bulb to the suction line. Continue with
step 7.

2- Connect draft gauge. Zero end of draft gauge scale
connects to air entering hole of coil. Insert gauge
hoses into test holes about 5/16" (8 mm), Seal around
holes with permagum,
3- Place the thermostat fan switch in continuous position
with no heating or cooling demand. Turn on power to
unit, and the furnace blower will begin operating,
4- Table 4 lists the range of air volumes and equivalent
draft gauge readings for this unit, Observe draft gauge
reading, If reading is above required air volume, de-
crease blower speed, Refer to furnace wiring diagram
for changing direct drive blower speed, Do not exceed
maximum air volume as indicated in diagram blower
speed table,
5- On belt drive blowers, check amperage draw on motor
by connecting an ammeter to one leg of the motor sup-
ply line, Compare this reading with the full load amps
listed on the motor nameplate. The motor pulley must
be adjusted not to exceed the motor nameplate full
load amps for motor listed,
6- After required draft gauge readings are obtained, re-
move draft lines and seal air test holes,
7- Set the room thermostat to desired temperature,
