Mounting the Unit
CAUTION
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
Check supporting structure for load bearing capacity to support the HEPAir.
All supports must be designed to meet applicable local codes and ordinances.
If in doubt, consult a qualified architect, engineer or contractor.
NOTE: Review the mounting illustrations on page 52 before mounting the unit.
Floor Mounting
Mount the HEPAir on the floor but elevate it on frame with a plywood surface to keep it away
from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain.
Wall Mounting
If the unit is mounted through the wall, adequately support it on both sides of the wall. Use floor
or knee braces to transfer the load of the unit to the floor or wall.
Ceiling Mounting
Construct a structurally sound, level platform to place the unit on when hanging it from the
ceiling joists. The HEPAir is NOT designed to be suspended from the top of the unit; it must be
supported from the bottom. Place the unit on a platform to ensure that the unit is supported on all
for corners. Leave adequate space on the top of the unit to remove the access doors for service.
In all cases the unit must be level to within plus or minus one-quarter inch (6mm) end-to-end
and plus or minus one-eighth inch (3mm) side-to-side for proper operation. Locate the unit as
close to the space as possible to reduce the length of the duct runs. If possible, use short and
straight ducting on all ductwork. The addition of quarter-inch (6mm) thick rubber pads helps
prevent the transmission of vibration and noise.
Installing the Condensate Drain Connection
The HEPAir unit provides dehumidification for the inside of the conditioned space. It cools the air
down to the dew point corresponding to the temperature set point of the thermostat. If the vapor
barrier of the space is poorly constructed or excess moisture is in the ambient, the unit has to
remove excessive amounts of moisture from the conditioned space. The moisture appears in the
condensate drain of the unit.
NOTE: If moisture becomes excessive, install a room type dehumidifier to
dehumidify the basement to not overload your HEPAir
