INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE UNIT
When installing a Q-TEC
unit near an interior wall on
the left side, a minimum of 8" is required but 12" is
preferred.
When installing a Q-TEC
unit near an interior wall
on the right side, a minimum of 18" is required as
additional space is required to connect the side drain.
If the rear condensate drain kit QCDS48 is used the
minimum can be reduced to 8".
This clearance is required to allow for the attachment of
the unit to the sleeve and side trim pieces to the wall.
This unit is to be secured to the wall sleeve with
mounting brackets provided. The unit itself, the supply
duct and the free blow plenum are suitable of “0”
clearance to combustible material.
Following are the steps for mounting the Q-TEC
.
F
or reference see Figure 13A for external mounting
bracket or 13B for internal bolt secured bracket
(recommended).
1. Attach mounting brackets to the wall sleeve with
screws provided. Either use external mounting
bracket (Fig. 13A) or internal bolt bracket (Fig. 13B).
2. Position the unit in front of the sleeve with the
condenser section toward the sleeve.
3. Remove the locking screws from the wheels (see
Figure 14).
4. Roll the unit into the sleeve. Make sure to check
both sides of the unit as it is being rolled to keep it
centered in the sleeve. Also check the alignment
to the mounting brackets. This unit must be level
from side to side. If adjustments are necessary,
shim up under the rollers with sheets of steel or
any substance that is not affected by moisture.
5. Make sure the gasket on the rear of the unit is
touching the sleeve across the top and down both
sides. This is a rain water seal.
6. Secure the mounting brackets to the unit with the
screws provided, #10 hex head sheet metal screws
(Figure 13A), or use nut and washer to secure
sleeve (Figure 13B).
7. Bottom trim extensions are provided for use when
wall is less than 14" but greater than 10.5". Secure
to wall with screws (not provided).
8. Attach the bottom trim piece to the unit with the
screws provided (dark colored).
9. Position side trim pieces to wall and attach with
field-supplied screws. There are two long pieces
and two short pieces supplied. The long pieces
are to enclose the gap behind the unit. The
short pieces are to fill the gap behind the cabinet
extension or the free blow plenum box. They may
be cut to suit the ceiling height or overlap the unit
side trim. There is sufficient length to trim up to a
10' 2" ceiling.
NOTE:
If the exterior wall thickness is between 5" to
10.5", a side trim extension
piece kit, model QSTX42, is available.
