Compatibility & Installation
The Goodman GLXS4BA4210-GR9T961205DN-CAPTA6030D3 package combines the primary components required for an upflow gas-electric split-system installation. The furnace supports upflow or horizontal installation, while the CAPTA6030D3 is a 24.5-inch-wide cased upflow/downflow coil designed for 3.5- to 5-ton applications. Proper equipment sizing, airflow adjustment, refrigerant charging, and professional commissioning are necessary for reliable performance.
Installation considerations:
- Verify that the 3.5-ton cooling and 120,000 BTU heating capacities match the building’s calculated requirements
- Confirm that the ductwork and installation area support an upflow configuration
- Allow sufficient space for the 24.5-inch-wide furnace and evaporator-coil cabinets
- Use the required PVC venting and follow furnace combustion-air requirements
- Follow all applicable R-32 refrigerant handling and safety requirements
