Nice tin work....but man do I hate those square throat radius heal elbows. Those are the second worst elbows for turbulence and pressure loss. A square/square elbow without vanes is #1. A standard square elbow with vanes would be 10x better.

This is when appearance isn't everything. I have seen real pretty jobs that didn't work. Nice job.
If you look it could not be simpler all thermostat wires run to seperate cube relays and clearly marked r,y,c, ....... you can check low voltage power to any unit without opening it up. If only others would think of the next guy, this is so simple that a 1st year could figure it out, if they cant they should not be working on equipment!!

no way to split the return it is all under concrete in a large shared return in a theatre

If your happy with it that's what counts. Looks pretty typical. Nothing outstanding, electrical could be drastically improved but it's functional I guess.

A 7 year old thread comes to life!!! But the GMS9 isn't a variable speed furnace like OP claimed, it's just a garden variety 1 stage with PSC motor. That's how he's getting by with the twinning or quadding.
I must say that i'm skeptical of the whole shared return air wooden box configuration. I think I would have split up ra into zones for a more reliable and efficient system. I do like your condensate layout and will be borrowing for a dual 100k 10ton configuration this week. I'll post pics and take my lumps.

You'd get more even heating and 1 single gas appliance. Long term maintenace and complicity is greatly reduced. How much more? I think your right on point. I mean with all the labor you would save. He ran 4 of everything. I am not a fan. But you got the job done. I wish you the best with this down the road.

Originally Posted by Joehvac25 Someone stepped back in time lol Yes I did. I have 2 jobs that require twinning on common duct systems.

So when I want to do my homework I have found the search tool to be extremely valuable.
Funny to see people callin Goodman crap, anything installed proper will run right. I dont deal Goodman but I see alot of the Lennox guys installing them in order to get bids, they just lower the bid by 1k.
