FRAME-MOUNTED INSTALLATION
Frame-mounted applications generally follow the sequence
for a curb installation. Adapt as required to suit specific in-
stallation plan.
Step 3 — Inspect Unit
Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim with
transportation agency.
Confirm before installation of unit that voltage, amperage and
circuit protection requirements listed on unit data plate agree
with power supply provided.
Step 4 — Provide Unit Support
ROOF CURB MOUNT
Accessory roof curb details and dimensions are shown in
Fig. 5. Assemble and install accessory roof curb in accor-
dance with instructions shipped with the curb.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to func-
tion properly. Unit leveling tolerances are shown in Fig. 4.
Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation Instructions for
additional information as required.
Fig. 4 — Unit Leveling Tolerances
Install insulation, cant strips, roofing felt, and counter flash-
ing as shown. Ductwork must be attached to curb and not to
the unit. The accessory thru-the-base power package must be
installed before the unit is set on the roof curb.
If electric and control wiring is to be routed through the base-
pan, attach the accessory thru-the-base service connections to
the basepan in accordance with the accessory installation in-
structions.
NOTE: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical
for a watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with the roof curb
as shown in Fig. 5. Improperly applied gasket can also result
in air leaks and poor unit performance.
SLAB MOUNT (HORIZONTAL UNITS ONLY)
Provide a level concrete slab that extends a minimum of 6-in.
(150 mm) beyond unit cabinet. Install a gravel apron in front
of condenser coil air inlet to prevent grass and foliage from
obstructing airflow.
NOTE: Horizontal units may be installed on a roof curb if
required.
ALTERNATE UNIT SUPPORT (IN LIEU OF CURB OR
SLAB MOUNT)
A non-combustible sleeper rail can be used in the unit curb
support area. If sleeper rails cannot be used, support the long
sides of the unit with a minimum of 3 equally spaced 4-in. x
4-in. (102 mm x 102 mm) pads on each side.
