A condenser fill plate is supplied with QWS48A-16, and is to be attached to the top of the outdoor coil housing on the QTEC unit.
ACCESSORY ITEM The QCDS48 is a condensate disposal system for use on all QTEC models. The system consists of a drain box and a rear drain assembly. The drain attaches to the side of the sleeve. The drain box has a rear drain and an overflow. The rear drain assembly installs in the rear drain of the QTEC. This system allows the QTEC unit to be installed or removed from the sleeve without connecting or disconnecting the drain line.
ATTACHMENT OF WALL SLEEVE TO QTEC UNIT All Wall Sleeve Models covered in this manual are equipped with two different methods to attach the QTEC Model being applied.
