For Units With Space
Limitations
In the event that a space limitation exists, we will
permit the following clearances:
Single-Unit Applications: Side clearances below 6"
[15.2 cm] will reduce unit capacity and efficiency.
Do not reduce the 60" [152.4 cm] discharge or the
24" [61.0 cm] service clearances.
Multiple-Unit Applications: When multiple
condenser grille sides are aligned, a 6" [15.2
cm] per unit side clearance is recommended for
a total of 12" [30.5 cm] between two units. Two
combined clearances below 12" [30.5 cm] will
reduce capacity and efficiency. Do not reduce the
60" [152.4 cm] discharge or 24" [61.0 cm] service
clearances.
Customer Satisfaction Issues
• The unit should be located away from the living,
sleeping, and recreational spaces of the owner
and those spaces on adjoining property.
• To prevent noise transmission, the mounting pad
for the outdoor unit should not be connected to
the structure and should be located a sufficient
distance above grade to prevent ground water
from entering the unit.
Unit Mounting
WARNING:
Secure an elevated unit
and its elevating stand in order to prevent tipping.
Failure to do so may result in severe personal
injury or death.
• If installing a unit on a flat roof, use 4" x 4"
[10.2 cm x 10.2 cm] or equivalent stringers
positioned to distribute unit weight evenly and
prevent noise and vibration.
Factory-Preferred Tie-Down
Method for High Wind or
Seismic Loads
IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer-
approved/recommended method is a guide to
securing equipment for wind and seismic loads.
Other methods might provide the same result, but
the manufacturer method is the only one endorsed
by the manufacturer for securing equipment where
wind or earthquake damage can occur. Additional
information is available in the PTS (Product
Technical Support) section of the manufacturer’s
Web sites MyRheem.com or MyRuud.com and
can be found as a listing under each outdoor
model. If you do not have access to this site, your
distributor can offer assistance.
