Upflow Configuration with MX Series Air Handler on top of 
an evaporator coil.

 

 

 

 

Downflow Configuration with MX Series Air Handler 
underneath an evaporator coil.  Make certain to turn Air 
Handler Upside Down as shown in the above figure. 

 

Horizontal Installations 

Horizontal installations can be left-hand or right-hand air 
supplied. Adequate support must be provided to ensure cabinet 
integrity. Ensure that there is adequate room to remove service 
and access panels if installing in the horizontal position.  Refer 
to instructions provided with coil for proper horizontal 
installations. 

 

 

                       

  

                        Horizontal Configuration of Blower with a  

                         multi-position coil.

 

 

Horizontal Configuration of Blower with an ADP Dedicated 
Horizontal “A” Coil.

 

 
IMPORTANT: 

 

Refer to the instructions provided with the coil being 
used to determine how the secondary drain should be 
trapped and piped. 

 

When an evaporator coil is installed in an attic or 
above a finished ceiling, an auxiliary drain pan should 
be provided under the MX Series Air Handler and coil 
as specified by most local building codes. 

 

Conversion from Vertical to Horizontal 

 
The MX Series Air Handler can be converted from operating in a 
vertical to a horizontal position by installing supporting brackets 
(included with all MX Series Air Handlers) between the two 
pieces of equipment.  A horizontal condensate drain pan (not 
included with the MX Series Air Handler) would also be needed.  
 

Suspended Cabinet Installation 
 
NOTE:

 MX Series Air Handlers cannot be installed horizontally 

lying on or suspended from either the front or back of the MX 
Series Air Handler. If installed horizontally the blower must be 
positioned with one side parallel to the floor. 
 
The suspending means must be field fabricated, and should 
consist of 2 “cradles” made by attaching 2 rods to a length of 
angle iron or suitable gauge steel.
