Inspect shipment carefully for signs of damage. All equipment is carefully inspected and packed. IBC’s
responsibility ceases upon delivery of the air handling appliance to the carrier. Any claims for damage or
shortage must be filed immediately against the carrier. No claims for variances or shortages will be

This section provides installation guidelines for the air handling appliance including locating the
appliance, mounting positions, ducting, piping, and wiring.
2.1 Locating the appliance
2.1.1 Conditioned space
Even though the air handling appliance operates quietly, try to locate the appliance to minimize
noise transmission to conditioned spaces.
Avoid locating the appliance next to bedrooms or other noise sensitive locations.
If connecting a cooling system to the appliance, we recommend insulating the supply air ducting
with a minimum of 1" thick fiberglass insulation with a vapor barrier. All insulated joints must be
sealed with a tape designed for this purpose.
2.1.2 Un-conditioned space
If locating the appliance in an un-conditioned space, protect the hydronic coil from freezing conditions.
Propylene glycol may be required to prevent freezing of the coil. Use a minimum of 25% to a maximum
of 50% mixture of propylene glycol with water.
Insulate the supply air and return air ducting with a minimum 2" thick fiberglass insulation with a vapor
barrier. All insulated joints must be sealed with tape designed for this purpose. The appliance should
also be insulated with a minimum 2" thick fiberglass insulation with a vapor barrier.
2.1.3 New construction
The appliance is not designed to provide temporary heat during construction. If used, you must
thoroughly clean the appliance (including the fan and coil) to remove all contaminates and install with a
new air filter . If used for temporary heating during construction, the warranty may be void.
