GSA3(M,Q)E Series Technical Specifications
Features and Benefits
- Designed for Manufactured Housing: Charged with refrigerant for 20 feet of lineset.
- Full Service Valves on GSA3ME: Brass valves are easily accessible and simplify servicing of the refrigeration system.
- Quick Connect Fittings on GSA3QE: No brazing or evacuation required, reducing install time.
- Designed Using Galvanized Steel: Powder-coated paint eliminates sharp edges and reduces corrosion, fading, chipping, and scratching. Passes 950 hours of salt spray per ASTM Std. B117.
- Composite Base Pan: Absorbs sound and is corrosion resistant. Composite is stronger and lighter than steel.
- Permanently Lubricated Motor: Heavy duty PSC motor for long-lasting reliability and quiet operation. Requires no maintenance and is completely protected from rain and snow.
- Removable Top Grille Assembly: Allows ease of service from the top without disconnecting fan motor leads.
- High Pressure Switch: Protects against abnormally high system pressures. Auto-reset feature prevents nuisance service visits.
- Liquid Line Filter Drier: Included with unit, factory installed on QE and field installed on ME models.
- One Piece Top/Orifice: Designed for maximum airflow and quiet operation.
- Easy Compressor and Control Access: Access panels are provided to all controls and the compressor from the side of the unit for easier servicing.
- All-Aluminum Coils: Aluminum coils in all models provide high corrosion resistance.
- Powder Coated Wire Guard and Mesh Hail Guard: Will never rust and protects the coil from damage by balls, lawnmowers, hail, etc.
