Compatibility & Installation Notes
The GLXS5BA3610 / GR9S801005CX / CHPTA4830C3 system is configured for residential horizontal applications. Although the evaporator coil has a nominal 4-ton capacity, it may be paired with the 3-ton condenser as part of an approved matched configuration. The complete combination should be verified using applicable AHRI certification data.
Compatibility with the property’s ductwork, electrical service, natural gas supply, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, and approved furnace venting must be confirmed before installation. A professional heating-load calculation is recommended to ensure the 100,000 BTU furnace is properly sized for the property.
Installation Notes
- Verify compatibility with the existing horizontal ductwork
- Complete a heating and cooling load calculation before installation
- Confirm electrical service and natural gas connection requirements
- Check the required refrigerant line sizes before installation
- Install approved furnace venting and proper evaporator-coil condensate drainage
- Confirm adequate installation and service clearances
- Verify the complete system’s AHRI-rated performance
- Installation should be completed by a qualified HVAC professional
