IDCF & IDC3 EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS

INSTALLATION

TOP PERIMETER GUARDRAILS

REFER TO INDIVIDUAL FIGURES FOR PARTICULAR UNITS.

1.  Secure the individual rail segments to the factory installed 

post brackets using the 3/8” x 4” bolts provided. See the 
following Figures and the accompanying rail length tables 
to determine the correct location for each rail segment. See 
Figure 32 for the post attachment detail.

3.  For multi-cell units, install the gap plates. Secure plates on 

one side by re-using the 5/16” self-tapping screws from the 
fan deck. Secure on the other side using the 1/4” self- drilling 
screws provided. See Figure 34.

4.  Install the toe boards using the 5/16” self-tapping screws 

provided. See Figure 35.

5.  Install the safety gate(s) using the 5/16” x 5” bolts provided. 

See Figure 36.
