Compatibility & Installation
The Goodman GLXS4BA4210-GR9S960805CN-CAPTA6030C3 package combines the primary components required for an upflow gas-electric split-system installation. The GR9S960805CN furnace supports upflow or horizontal installation and provides up to approximately 2,000 CFM, while the CAPTA6030C3 is a 21-inch-wide cased upflow/downflow coil designed for 3.5- to 5-ton applications. Proper equipment sizing, airflow adjustment, refrigerant charging, condensate drainage, venting, and professional commissioning are necessary for reliable performance.
Installation considerations:
- Verify that the 3.5-ton cooling and 80,000 BTU heating capacities match the building’s calculated requirements
- Confirm that the ductwork and installation area support an upflow configuration
- Allow adequate clearance for the 21-inch-wide furnace and evaporator-coil cabinets
- Install approved PVC venting and follow combustion-air and condensate requirements
- Follow all applicable R-32 refrigerant handling and safety requirements
