Service Clearances
Figure 2: Service Clearance for Electrical Power Devices
In addition to providing adequate space around the unit for
piping coils and drains, access to at least one side of the unit is
always required to allow for regular service and routine
maintenance, which includes filter replacement, drain pan
inspection and cleaning, fan bearing lubrication, and belt
adjustment. Provide sufficient space—at least equal to the
length of the coil—on the side of the unit for coil removal. See
Figure 1 for servicing space requirements.
Maintain at least 54" of clearance in front of electrical power
devices. Electrical power devices that are mounted on the side
of the unit typically are up to 12" deep. See Figure 2.

Skyline air handlers ship as separate sections, completely
assembled, or in modules of assembled sections. The unit must
be rigged as it ships from the factory. Do not rig units after
assembly. Units are provided with a factory-installed base
railand can be lifted using the 2" diameter lifting holes located
in the corners of each shipping section. To prevent damage to
the unit cabinetry, use spreader bars. Position spreader bars to
prevent cables from rubbing the frame or panels. Before
hoisting into position, test lift for stability and balance. Avoid
twisting or uneven lifting of unit.

Curb Mounting and Unit Leveling
Do not place a Skyline unit over an open curb unless it is
equipped with a curb-ready base. Installation instructions for
mounting units on a roof curb are provided in IM 770. For a
copy, contact your local McQuay representative or visit
www.mcquay.com. Make provisions under the unit to divert
any moisture from entering the building below.
For units without roof curb mounting, place the equipment
on a flat and level surface. Where surface irregularities
exist, shim the base of the unit at one or more points along
the length of the rails to prevent distortion or sagging of
the support rails. Uneven or distorted sections cause misfit
or binding of the doors and panels and improper draining
of drain pans. See Figure 4.

Assembling Sections
If the unit is shipped in more than one shipping section, rig
each section into position separately. Shipping sections are
provided with a connection splice joint attached on the leaving
air side of the shipping sectionsection that seals against the
frame channel on the entering-air side of the adjoining. The
splice joint is insulated and provides an air-tight seal between
two sections once they are assembled together. Align the splice
joint to seat into the mating gasket to provide an air seal. If the
splice joint was bent during shipping or rigging, restore it to its
original position. See Figure 8.
To assemble shipping sections:
needed (two on each side of the unit). The bolts are run
from one base rail into the other and fastened with a nut.
Complete each section bottom and top before attaching
additional sections.
b If desired, shipping sections for non curb-ready units
can be fastened together internally. To fasten internally,
run field-provided #10 sheet metal screws or drill
screws (4" long, maximum) through the interior frame
channel of one unit into the splice joint of the
neighboring section.
c Handle units with curb-ready bases and vestibules so the
lifting bracket can be removed after the unit is placed on
the curbing.
– Remove the lifting bracket that projects inward over
the curbing. Save the self tapping screws.
– When the adjacent section is placed in position, use
self tapping screw to secure the bases together.
1 Caulk all assembly joints of the unit—Before joining the
sections, apply at least 1/4 inch diameter bead of sealant to
the mating faces of the cabinet. Use the splice joint as a
guide for applying the sealant. See Figure 5.

Installation Guidelines
Injected-Foam Insulated Panels
Skyline air handlers now are furnished with double-wall,
injected-foam insulated panels. Foam panels are stronger,
more rigid, and lighter than panels with fiberglass insulation.
The insulation R-value is improved to 13. However, foam
insulation can burn when exposed to flame or other ignition
sources and release toxic fumes. Take care in cutting and
sealing all field-cut openings in these panels.
Figure 12: Cutting/Sealing Injected-Foam Insulated Panels
Cut hole from both sides of panel
Seal completely with silicone
sealant or duct seal compound
Panel Cutting Procedure
1 Determine the number and location of holes required for
electrical conduit, piping, and control wiring as follows:
• Check that adequate space is available inside the unit for
conduit or pipe routing.
• Do not locate holes in a panel that provides access to key
maintenance components such as filters and fan
assemblies.
• Do not locate where the conduit or piping blocks airflow
or obstructs hinged access doors.
2 Once a proper location is determined, drill a small pilot
hole completely through the panel. Then use a sharp hole
saw or a saber saw and cut from each side of the panel.
3 Seal the double-wall panel on each side with an industrial/
commercial grade silicone sealant or duct seal compound.
It is extremely important to seal each panel hole or
penetration securely so it is airtight, watertight, and so that
there is no exposed insulation.
WARNING
Flame and smoke can cause equipment
damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
Before operating unit, seal all piping and
wiring holes on both inner and outer panels
with an industrial grade silicone sealant or
duct seal compound. Do not use a cutting
torch or expose panel to fire. Panel
damage can occur.
WARNING
La fumée et les flammes peuvent
endommager le matériel et causesr des
blessures graves ou la mort.
Avant d’utiliser le dispositif, obturer tous les
trous de passage de tubulures et de fils
ménagés dans les panneaux intérieurs et
extérieurs au moyen d’une pâte à base de
silicone ou d’un mastic d’étanchéite â
conduits de qualité industrielle.
Ne pas se servir d’un chalumeau
coupeur ni exposer les pannequx à une
flamme nue pour ne pas risquer de les
endommager.

Field Mounting Junction Boxes and
Other Components
For field mounting 4" × 4" or smaller junction boxes to the
standard panel exterior, use a minimum quantity of 4, 3/16"
diameter pop rivets. Do not use self-tapping drill screws.
They will not tighten nor secure properly and panel
damage can occur.
If larger, heavier components require mounting on unit panels,
use through-bolts with flat washers through both outer and
inner panels. To maintain panel integrity, seal both ends with
an industrial/commercial grade silicone sealant or duct seal
compound.
The unit frame channel is another excellent location for
securing heavier components; self-tapping screws are not
acceptable. Ensure that the location permits the full operation
of all access doors and panels and does not interfere with other
vital components.
Duct Connections
Use flexible connectors on the outlet and inlet duct
connections of all units. Do not position down flow fans over
air ducts that are routed down intothe building. Use a
discharge plenum when bottom connections are necessary. See
Figure 13.

McQuay IM 777-2
Installation Guidelines
If the unit has a top mixing box or economizer damper or a top
duct connection, field fabricate and install flashing to divert
moisture from the connection. The flashing must lap over the
standing seams of the top panels. The flashing also must lap
over the side edges of the unit. See Figure 14.
When units are ordered with exhaust hoods and intake hoods
adjacent to each other, install a field-supplied barrier to
prevent recirculation of exhaust air into the intake openings.
See Figure 16.

Mounting Actuators
Dampers and Hoods
Side dampers may be provided in the mixing box and
economizer sections of units. When dampers are provided, a
removable panel is located above the weather hood to provide
access to the damper drive shaft. Other access may be available
depending on the specific construction of the unit. See Figure 15.

McQuay IM 777-2
The installing contractor is responsible for the mounting of all
field-installed actuators. No provisions are made for the
location of these actuators due to the number of options and
arrangements available and the variety of specific applications.
Typically, actuators are mounted inside the cabinet. Provide
proper support for the actuator to avoid excessive stress in the
cabinet, linkage, or damper shafts.
Note – Damper blades are at full flow when open to 70 degrees.
Do not open blades further than 70 degrees.
Fresh air and return air dampers can be linked together and
driven from the same actuator if the dampers are the same size.
If the dampers are different sizes, they must be driven by
separate actuators and controlled appropriately. Exhaust
dampers are always driven by a separate actuator.
A typical rotary electric actuator can handle up to 40 sq. ft. of
damper. For pneumatic actuators, allow 5 in-lb per square foot
of damper area.

Face and Bypass Section Mounting
Internal and external face and bypass sections are mounted
together using the instructions for horizontal components and
do not require additional instruction. Skyline air handlers are
provided with a bypass duct that is integral to the unit
construction and requires no field assembly.
Piping and Coils
Face and bypass dampers may or may not be linked together.
When dampers are placed before a single bank of coils, they
always are linked together and require a single actuator. When
dampers bypass a stacked or staggered coil, the dampers are
not linked and require multiple actuators.
• Observe all local codes and industry standards.
When designing and installing piping:
• Follow applicable piping design, sizing, and installation
information in ASHRAE handbooks.
• Do not apply undue stress at the connection to coil headers;
always use a backup pipe wrench.
• Support pipework independently of the coils.
Water Cooling Coils
Face and bypass dampers have a torque requirement of
10 in-lbs per square foot of damper face area.
Note – Use glycol in water coils for outdoor air handlers. Power
failures and other mechanical issues can expose coils to
freezing temperatures.
Piping Vestibules
• Water supply, water return, drain, and vent connections
extend through the end panel of the coil section. All
connections are labeled on the end panel.
For units that include a piping vestibule, cut the openings for
routing the field piping as required in the field. Carefully seal
passages cut through the panels to prevent air leakage. A
single metal thickness pan is provided in the bottom of the
curb-mounted vestibule. The pan can be removed if necessary.
If holes are cut into the pan for a piping passage, seal the holes
to prevent moisture leakage. See Figure 17.
Figure 17: Seal Holes for Piping—Curb Mounted Units
• Water supply and water return connections are typically
male NPT iron pipe.
• When installing couplings, do not apply undue stress to the
connection extending through unit panel. Use a backup
pipe wrench to avoid breaking the weld between coil
connection and header.
• Follow recommendations of the control manufacturer
regarding types, sizing, and installation of controls.
Direct Expansion Coils
• The coil distributor and suction connection extend through
the end panel of the coil section.
• Check nozzle in distributor for proper tonnage.
Seal holes
cut for piping
For units with standard base rails, the vestibule is open to the
coil section; therefore, seal all holes to prevent air leakage.
10
• When a (field supplied) thermostatic expansion valve is
located outside the unit and connected directly to the
distributor (except on units with piping vestibules). Do not
apply heat to the body of the expansion valve.
• The thermostatic expansion valve must be the external
equalizer tube type. Connect the 1/4-inch diameter external
equalizer tube provided on the coil to the connection on the
expansion valve.
McQuay IM 777-2
Installation Guidelines
• Use care when piping the system, making sure all joints are
tight and all lines are dry and free of foreign material. For
typical refrigerant piping, see condensing unit product manual.
Steam Coils (see Figure 19 on page 12)
Piping
• Steam supply and steam return connections typically are male
NPT iron pipe and are labeled on the end panel of coil section.
Connections extend through the coil section end panel.
• When installing couplings, do not apply undue stress to the
connection extending through unit panel. Use a backup
pipe wrench to avoid breaking the weld between coil
connection and header.
• Locate traps at least 12 inches below the coil return connection.
• Multiple coil installation.
– Individually trap each coil or group of coils that is
controlled individually trapped.
– Coils in series—use separate traps for each coil, or a bank
of coils.
– Coils in parallel—a single trap can be used, but an
individual trap for each coil is preferred.
– Do not attempt to lift condensate when using modulating
or on/off control.
• With coils arranged for series airflow, use a separate control
on each bank or coil in the direction of airflow.
• Support piping independently of coils and provide adequate
piping flexibility. Stresses resulting from expansion of
closely coupled piping can cause serious damage.
Valves
• Do not reduce pipe size at the coil return connection. Carry
return connection size through the dirt pocket, making the
reduction at the branch leading to the trap.
• Properly size modulating valves. Do not undersize.
• Do not use modulating steam valves on high pressure
systems.
• Freezing conditions (entering air temperatures below 35°F).
Coils
– McQuay strongly recommends 5JA, 8JA, 5RA and 8RA
coils.
• Pitch all steam coils in units toward the return connection.
– Supply 5 psi steam to coils at all times.
• Do not drip supply mains through the coil.
• Do not attempt to lift condensate when using modulating or
on/off control.
• Install vacuum breakers on all applications to prevent
retaining condensate in the coil. Generally, connect the
vacuum breaker between the coil inlet and the return main.
The vacuum breaker should be open to the atmosphere and
the trap design should allow venting of large quantities of air.
Traps
Note – Do not place steam traps outdoors.
• Size traps in accordance with the manufacturers’
recommendations. Make sure the required pressure
differential is always available. Do not undersize.
• Use float and thermostatic or bucket traps for low pressure
steam. On high pressure steam, use bucket traps. Use
thermostatic traps only for air venting.
• Use bucket traps for on/off control only.
McQuay IM 777-2
• Do not use modulating valves. Provide control by face and
bypass dampers.
– Consider using two or three coils in series with two
position steam control valves on the coil or coils that
handle 35°F or colder air. Use a modulating valve on the
downstream coil to provide the desired degree of control.
– Thoroughly mix fresh air and return air before it enters the
coil. Also, to obtain true air mixture temperatures,
properly locate temperature control elements.
– As additional protection against freeze-up, install the trap
sufficiently below the coil to provide an adequate
hydrostatic head to remove condensate during an
interruption in the steam pressure. Estimate three feet for
each 1 psi of trap differential required.
– On startup, admit steam to coil ten minutes before
admitting outdoor air.
– Close fresh air dampers if steam supply pressure falls
below the minimum specified.

• Water supply and water return connections extend through
the end panel of the coil section. All connections are labeled
on the end panel.
• Water supply and water return connections are male NPT
iron pipe.
• When installing couplings, do not apply undue stress to the
connection extending through unit panel. Use a backup pipe
wrench to avoid breaking the weld between the coil
connection and header.
• Follow recommendations of the control manufacturer
regarding types, sizes, and installation of controls.
2P
Note – The door panels on some applications have a close
clearance over the drain pipes. Extend the drain fitting
with a coupling if necessary for door clearance. See
Figure 21.
– Use material that can withstand freezing temperatures for
outdoor drain traps.
– Drain traps that dry out can allow cold air to seep into the
equipment.
Figure 21: Extend Drain Fitting for Door Clearance
• Do not use hot water coils with entering air below 40°F.
• If fresh air and return air are to be heated by a hot water coil,
carefully design the system to provide thorough mixing
before air enters the coil.
• To prepare coils for winter operation, see “Winterizing
Water Coils” on page 28.
C le a r a n c e
Drain Pan Traps
Run drain lines and traps full size from the drain pan
connection. Install drain pan trap to allow condensate to drain
freely. On both blow-through and draw-through units, the trap
depth and the distance between the trap outlet and the drain
pan outlet must be twice the static pressure in the drain pan
section under normal operation so the trap remains sealed. See
Figure 20.

Internal Isolation Assembly Adjustment
On units with internally isolated fan and motor assemblies, the
assemblies are secured for shipment. with a tie-down at each
point of isolation.
Figure 22: Removing Shipping Brackets
Unit sizes 006 - 090
Before Operating the Unit:
Remove the shipping brackets and tie-down bolts (see
Figure 22) and discard. The shipping brackets located on the
opposite drive side of the unit are difficult to access from the
drive side of the unit. Either remove them before the unit is
assembled, or remove the panel on the opposite drive side to
gain access.
The spring isolators under the four corners of the fan and
motor assembly are factory adjusted while the fan was not
running. See Table 1 below. With the unit operating at normal
cfm and static pressure, all the isolators should be at the same
height opening. If adjustments are required, loosen the 1/2"
cap screw on top of the isolator and turn the adjusting bolt to
lower or raise the fan and motor base. Retighten the cap screw
when adjustments are completed.

Operation Guidelines
Note – Variable pitch fan drives usually are provided for
operation in the mid-speed adjustment range. However,
the drives usually ship with the adjustment opened up for
minimum fan speed. Adjust the drives for the proper
airflow. See “Fan Drive Adjustments” on page 22.
After the First 48 Hours of Operation:
1 Disconnect and lock electrical power source.
2 Check tightness of all bearing, wheel, and sheave setscrews
(or capscrews). See Table 6.
3 Recheck belt tension and adjust if necessary. Belts that are
tensioned sufficiently to slip one to two seconds at startup
perform satisfactorily, extending life and reducing vibration. If
retensioning is necessary, be certain to retain sheave
alignment.

1 Motor bearings—All ball bearings are prelubricated and do
not require additional grease at time of installation.
However, periodic cleaning out and renewal of grease is
necessary. Exercise extreme care to prevent foreign matter
from entering the bearing. It also is important to avoid over
greasing. Use a high grade, clean mineral grease with the
following characteristics:
• Melting point over 302°F (150°C)
• Free from oil and soap separation under operating and
storage conditions
• Free of abrasive matter, acid, alkali and moisture
Specific greasing instructions are located on a label
attached to the fan section door.
The lubrication interval varies with the period of operation
and temperature of the ambient air. Use the guidelines in
the table below.

Upon completion of the air balance, replace the variable
pitched motor sheave with a properly sized, fixed sheave. A
matching fixed sheave provides longer belt and bearing life
and minimizes vibration. Initially, it is best to have a variable
pitched motor sheave for the purpose of air balancing. Once
the balance is achieved, fixed sheaves maintain balancing and
alignment more effectively. Replace the adjustable sheaves
with fixed sheaves.
With the electrical power disconnected, locked and tagged out,
measure the diameter of the V-belt outer surface where it
passes around the sheave (pitch diameter). Calculate fan speed
from the motor nameplate rpm.
Fan rpm = motor rpm ×

Fan Drive Belt Adjustment
General Rules of Tensioning
1 The ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt
does not slip under peak load conditions.
2 Check tension frequently during the first 24 to 48 hours of
operation.
3 Over tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.
4 Keep belts free from foreign material that can cause
slippage.
5 Inspect V-drive on a periodic basis. Adjust tension if the
belt is slipping. Do not apply belt dressing. This can
damage the belt and cause early failure.
Tension Measurement Procedure
1 Measure the belt span. See Figure 37.
2 Place belt tension checker squarely on one belt at the center
of the belt span. Apply force to the checker, perpendicular
to the belt span, until the belt deflection equals belt span
distance divided by 64. Determine the force applied while
in this position.
3 Compare this force to the values in Table 15.

WARNING
Moving belt and fan can cause severe personal injury or
death. During installation and filter maintenance:
• Verify that the belt and fan guards on plenum fan units are
always in place.
• Lock and tag out fans to prevent accidental start up.
• Do not enter the filter compartment until the fan is
completely stopped.
• Use approved equipment for reaching filters located above
normal reach. Do not step on filter frames or unit
components.
• Floor surfaces must be dry and free of oil or grease.
WARNING
Pendant l’installation et où l’entretien des filtres, une
courroie en mouvement ou un ventilateur en opération
peuvent causer des blessures graves où même causer la
mort.
• S’assurer que les gardes de courroie et de ventilateur sont
toujours en place.
• Verouiller les démarreurs des ventilateurs et afficher un
avis de mise-en-garde afin de prévenir tout accident ou
démarrage.
• Attendre que le ventilateur soit complètement arrêté avant
d’entrer dans l’unité.
• Utiliser seulement des équipements approuvé pour joindre
les bancs de filtres; ne pas mettre soit sur les cadres des
filtres ou même sur toutes composantes de l’unité.
• La surface des planchers doit être sec et libre de toute
trace d'huile et où de graisse.

Front Load Filter Option
Filter Gauges
Front loaded filter options require that the filters be removed
and replaced from inside the unit.
Filter gauges indicate pressure drop for installed filters.
To remove filters, rotate the wire clips. This releases both the
prefilter and the final filter. When installing clean filters, check
to verify the filters are fully seated in the frame. See Figure 38.
Figure 38: Frame and Filters with Holding Clips
Table 16 shows the typical filter pressure drop for clean filters
at rated air flow. The tables also show a final pressure drop for
front loaded filters.
Where a single filter gauge is used, the prefilters can be
removed to check the pressure drop of the final filters.

Maintaining the Coil
1 The coil must be clean to obtain maximum performance.
Check once a year under normal operating conditions and,
if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Use a chemical coil cleaner
on multiple row coils. Read and follow the chemical
cleaner’s instructions as some cleaners may contain harsh
chemicals. Take care not to damage fins while cleaning.
2 Drain pans in any air conditioning unit may have some
moisture. Algae, etc., can grow due to airborne spores and
bacteria. Periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent this
buildup from plugging the drain and causing the drain pan
to overflow. Also, keep the drain pans clean to prevent the
spread of disease. Cleaning should be performed by
qualified personnel.
3 Dirt and lint can clog the condensate drain, especially with
dirty filters. Inspect twice a year to help avoid overflow.

• Fill each coil independently with an antifreeze solution
using a small circulating pump and again thoroughly drain.
