ant additives could result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
NOTE:
The 4NXCB025AC3HCA and the 4NXCB031AC3HCA coils
are not direct replacements for previously installed 4TXC
coils. There is a height difference in the two coils models
between the two coil families.
A. GENERAL
These coils are designed for use in combination with a heat
pump or cooling outdoor section using R-410A REFRIGER-
ANT. These coils may be converted for use with a horizontal
furnace as well.
The 4NXC equipment has been evaluated in accordance with
the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter XX, Part 3280 or the
equivalent. “Suitable for Mobile Home use” The height of the
Furnace, Coil and discharge duct work must be 7 ft. or less.
Inspect the coil for shipping damaged. Notify the transporta-
tion company immediately if the coil is damaged.
B. APPLICATION INFORMATION
1. FURNACE AND COIL
The coil MUST BE installed downstream (in the outlet air)
of the furnace. The coil apex can face into or away from the
direction of the airflow, depending on horizontal left or right
application.
A341869P25
These coils fit the 17½" and 24½" width furnaces without
any adapters in vertical upflow, downflow, or horizontal ap-
plication. Some coils require model specific changes
to the coil. See application specific sections.
2. INDOOR UNIT AIRFLOW
Indoor unit must provide the required airflow for the heat
pump or cooling combinations approved for these coils.
IMPORTANT: Review your installation requirements. Check
the table on the outline drawings and note all dimensions
for your coil before beginning the installation.

3. HORIZONTAL LEFT (All coils)
The non-condensing furnaces may be laid on either side
for horizontal application. The condensing downflow/hori-
zontal and upflow/horizontal furnaces may only be rotated
onto their left side. Connection brackets for coil/furnace
alignment are included with the furnaces.
a. In horizontal left, the 4NXC coil case is rotated so
the apex of the coil is away from the furnace and the
auxiliary drain pan is now on the lower side.
b. The two piece baffle ships installed on the coil and is
required for horizontal left applications.
c. The base of the coil enclosure is placed flush against
the downflow/horizontal furnace. Upflow/horizontal
condensing furnaces have the coil match the top flange.
d. There are three brackets included with the downflow
furnace which are used to connect the furnace and coil
together. See Figure 10.
e. Two brackets are used to attach the rear of the coil
and furnace and one bracket is used to attach the front.
The rear brackets will use existing screws on the coil
enclosure (two on each side at the bottom). Each of the
rear brackets will be attached with the wide side of the
bracket resting on the top and bottom of the horizontal
coil and furnace (see Figure 11). Four additional screws
will be used to attach each rear bracket.
f. The front bracket is positioned as close to the cen-
ter as possible with the narrow edge against the coil
enclosure and the wide edge against the furnace . Two
screws each are driven into the coil enclosure and fur-
nace.
g. There is a splash guard packaged with the coil. This
guard is for horizontal left coil installation only. The
guard has a bend which is inserted into the front chan-
nel of the horizontal drain pan on the outlet air side
of the coil case. The guard is then rotated downward
until it rests in the drain pan. One sheet metal screw
is driven through the coil case duct flange on the front
side and into the splash guard side hole. See Figure 12.

CAUTION
!
Both the coil and furnace must be fully supported. Do not
attempt to suspend the coil using the brackets.
1. HORIZONTAL RIGHT COIL CONVERSION (For
4NXCD063 Coil Only).
a. For the horizontal right configurations the two-piece
factory baffle must be removed and the top baffle re-
placed for maximum efficiency.
b. Remove the factory installed two-piece baffle assem-
bly from the apex of the coil by removing the 5/16” hex
head screws. See Figure 14.
c. Replace only the top baffle using the same screws
previously removed.
d. The (2) outer water diverter baffles must be removed
for maximum efficiency.
e. Remove the coil by sliding the coil out of the coil
enclosure.
f. Remove the (2) outer water diverter baffles by remov-
ing the 5/16” hex head screws. See Figure 15.
IMPORTANT:
The 4NXC cased coil must be placed downstream of the
furnace, with the apex of the coil always pointing opposite
the direction of the airflow for horizontal right installation.
This placement supersedes previous furnace Installer's
Guide stating install "with the apex of the coil pointing in
the direction of airflow for horizontal application." See
Figure 16.
2. When the noncondensing Upflow/Horizontal furnace is
placed on its right side for right airflow, the furnace top
flange meets the cased coil top flange. The coil flange fits
inside of the furnace flange. See Figure 17.
3. There are three holes in the furnace top flange which
can be used for pilot holes to connect and align the furnace
and coil. There are self drilling screws included which
can be used for this connection. Seal all gaps between the
furnace and coil.

K. BRAZING TO EVAPORATOR SECTION
IMPORTANT:
Do not unseal refrigerant tubing until ready to cut and fit
refrigerant lines.
There is only a holding charge of dry air in the indoor coil,
therefore no loss of operating refrigerant charge occurs when
the sealing plugs are removed.
NOTE:
TXV bulb MUST be protected (wrapped with wet rag) or
removed, while brazing the tubing. Overheating of the
sensing bulb will affect the functional characteristics and
performance of the comfort coil.
1. Remove both seals from the indoor coil. The braze caps
are soft soldered.
2. Field supplied tubing should be cut square, round and free
of burrs at the connecting end. Clean the tubing to prevent
contaminants from entering the system.
3. Run the refrigerant tubing into the stub tube sockets
of the indoor unit coil.
PAINTED AREAS OF THE UNIT MUST BE SHIELDED
DURING BRAZING.
4. Braze and evacuate according to indoor and outdoor instal-
lation instructions.
5. Flow a small amount of nitrogen through the tubing while
brazing.
6. Use good brazing technique to make leakproof joints.
7. Minimize the use of sharp 90 degree bends.
8. Insulate the suction line and its fittings.
9. Do NOT allow un-insulated lines to come into contact with
each other.
▲
CAUTION
!
Do NOT open refrigerant valve at the outdoor unit until the
refrigerant lines and coil have been brazed, evacuated, and
leak checked. This would cause contamination of the refriger-
ant or possible discharge of refrigerant to the atmosphere.
I. INSTALLING REFRIGERANT LINES
1. The following steps are to be considered when installing
the refrigerant lines:
a. Determine the most practical way to run the lines.
b. Consider types of bends to be made and space limita-
tions.
NOTE:
Large diameter tubing sizes will be difficult to bend once
it has been shaped.
c. Determine the best starting point for routing the refrigerant
tubing --INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
d. Provide a pull through hole of sufficient size to allow both
liquid and gas lines to clear. The location of this hole (if prac-
tical) should be just above the wall plate which is resting on
the foundation.
e. Be sure the roll of tubing is of sufficient length.
f. Uncoil the tubing - do not kink or dent.
g. Route the tubing making all required bends and properly
secure the tubing before making final connections.
NOTE: These lines must be isolated from the structure and
the holes must be sealed weather tight after installation.
J. FIELD FABRICATED INTERCONNECTING LINES
1. The following procedure should be used for connecting
tubing to the coil or the Outdoor Unit.
2. More information concerning the installation of refriger-
ant lines is covered in the Installers Guide packaged with the
outdoor unit. Evacuation, leak testing and brazing procedures
are included in those instructions before starting the instal-
lation of refrigerant lines.

L. LEAK CHECK
1. Using a manifold gauge, connect an external supply of dry
nitrogen to the gauge port on the liquid line.
2. Pressurize the connecting lines and indoor coil to 150 PSIG
maximum.
3. Leak check brazed line connections using soap bubbles.
Repair leaks (if any) after relieving pressure.
4. Evacuate and charge the system per the instructions pack-
aged with the outdoor unit.
M. CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPING
Condensate drain connections are located in the drain pan
at the bottom of the coil/enclosure assembly. The female
threaded fitting protrudes outside of the enclosure for external
connection. A field fabricated trap is required in this line.
See Figure 18.
1. The drain hole in the drain pan must be cleared of all
insulation.
2. Insulate the drain line to prevent sweating and dripping.
It is always recommended that an auxiliary drain pan be in-
stalled under a horizontally installed evaporator coil or 90%
gas furnace. Connect the auxiliary drain line to a separate
drain line (no trap is needed in this line).

N. CLEANING THE COIL
The two piece door (3-piece on 24.5" wide models) allows
removal of the outer casing doors without interference from
refrigerant or condensate lines. Once the outer doors are
removed the split inner coil panels can be easily removed.
The inside and outside of the coil can be easily cleaned with
a brush and vacuum with the panels removed. See Figure 19.
The foil covered insulation on 4NXC coils should be wiped
down and residual dirt and dust should be vacuumed up to
maintain good air quality. See Figure 20.
