General
F1 Series air handling units are designed as
heating, cooling or combination units for
indoor installation only. They are designed
for R-410A refrigerant only. Flexible
connectors are required on all duct
connections to minimize air leaks.
Locating the Unit
Placement of the unit relative to ductwork,
electrical and plumbing must be carefully
considered. Return air plenum or duct can be
mounted directly to the return air flanges.
Use flexible gasket material to seal the duct
to the unit.
Verify floor, foundation or suspension
support can support the total unit weight,
including accessory weights. Unit must be
level in both horizontal axes to support the
unit and reduce noise and vibration from the
unit.
Allow adequate space for piping access and
panel removal.
To ensure proper access
for field service, maintain minimum
clearances for field piping and other
obstructions.
Consult local building codes
for additional service clearance
requirements. Condensate drain connections
are located on the access side of the unit.
Service and Installation Clearance

place, caution must be taken to provide
clearance for unit panels that must be
accessible for periodic service. These areas

the controls, safety devices,
refrigerant piping, shut-off valves and filter
access.
F1 series air handling units require a
minimum of 36 inches of service clearance
on the access panel side of the unit in order
to ensure room for removal, replacement, or
service of coils and other components if
necessary.
