Installation
Installation
Review “Installation Considerations” before proceeding with installation.
Follow the procedures in these sections in the order given.
Note:
Install the Y-joint before installing the indoor unit.
Mounting the Unit
If the ceiling is already constructed, piping must be laid into position before placing the unit inside
the ceiling.
To mount the unit:
1.
Place the template on the spot where the unit is to be installed and mark the holes.
Note:
The template may shrink or stretch slightly due to heat or humidity. Before drilling holes,
verify proper dimensions between the marks. Refer to “Installing the Front Panel” for
final finishing clearances.
2. Determine the appropriate type of suspension bolts and anchors according to the ceiling type.
Insert bolt anchors into existing ceiling supports (A) or construct a suitable support (B).
3. Install suspension bolts at all four locations.
4. Screw two nuts to each suspension bolt, leaving space between the nuts for hanging the unit.
Note:
If the suspension bolts are longer than 59 in. or vibrations are a concern, place isolators
on the brackets to absorb vibrations.
5. Hang the unit by its support brackets between the two nuts.
6. If pad stoppers or isolators are used to absorb vibrations, place them on the brackets.
CAUTION
Avoid equipment damage and personal injury!
Ensure that the ceiling is strong enough to support the weight of the indoor unit. Before
hanging the unit, test the strength of each of the attached suspension bolts.
