Compatibility & Installation Notes
The GLXS5BA3610 / GR9S800805CN / CAPTA4230C3 system is intended for residential upflow applications. The nominally larger 3.5-ton evaporator coil may be paired with the 3-ton condenser to help achieve the specified efficiency. The complete equipment combination and efficiency rating should be confirmed through the applicable AHRI certification.
Compatibility with the property’s ductwork, electrical service, natural gas supply, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, and approved furnace venting must be confirmed before installation.
Installation Notes
- Verify compatibility with the existing upflow ductwork
- Confirm electrical service and natural gas connection requirements
- Check the required refrigerant line sizes before installation
- Install approved furnace venting
- Provide proper evaporator coil condensate drainage
- Verify clearance and duct transitions for the larger evaporator coil
- Verify the matched system and efficiency rating with an AHRI certificate
- Installation should be completed by a qualified HVAC professional
