Install unit away
from windows .
Two 90° elbows
installed in line set will
reduce line set vibration.
If unit coil cannot be
mounted away from prevail-
ing winter winds, a wind bar-
rier should be constructed.
Size barrier at least the
same height and width as
outdoor unit. Mount barrier
24 inches (610 mm) from the
sides of the unit in the direc-
tion of prevailing winds as il-
lustrated.

PREVAILING WINTER WINDS
These units operate under a wide range of weather conditions;
therefore, several factors must be considered when positioning the
outdoor unit. The unit must be positioned to give adequate clearances
for sufficient airflow and servicing.
Install unit level or, if on a slope, maintain slope tolerance of 2
degrees (or 2 inches per 5 feet [50 mm per 1.5 m]) away from
building structure.
Install the unit high enough above the ground or roof to allow
adequate drainage of defrost water and prevent ice or snow
build−up.
In heavy snow areas, do not locate the unit where drifting will
occur. The unit base should be elevated above the depth of
average snows. Stand−off kits are available for ordering using
either catalog numbers 94J45 (4 each) or 30K79 (20 each).
When installed in areas where low ambient temperatures exist,
locate unit so winter prevailing winds do not blow directly onto
outdoor unit.
Locate unit away from overhanging roof lines which would allow
water or ice to drop on, or in front of, coil or unto unit.
