3.0 Installation Instructions

Consult the product drawing(s) submitted on this order 
before proceeding.

3.1 Space Requirements

A minimum of 24" clear space must be available around the
PORTA-Scrubber to perform routine maintenance. Additionally, 
it is recommended that 36" clear space be available in at least 
one direction. Additional space may be required for inlet and 
outlet ductwork. 

3.2 Foundation, Supports, and Anchoring

The foundation and/or supports must be designed to be
adequate to support the filter system operating weight, and any
seismic, live or other load requirements (if any), with a sufficient
factor of safety as determined to comply with the requirements
of all applicable governing codes, standards, and laws. Ensure
that the foundation or support surface is level and smooth
before proceeding. The filtration system may be designed for
operation in either indoor or outdoor locations. Indoor
applications may require additional particulate filtration. The
equipment is not specifically designed to resist and operate
under unusual dynamic loading situations such as high winds or
earthquake conditions. If the equipment is required to function in
such circumstances special precautions may be required to
ensure that the equipment will remain intact, anchored and
functioning. If this situation applies consult with a qualified
professional engineer before installing the equipment.
