Handling and
installation
While all equipment is designed
for durability and fabricated
with heavy gauge materials
and may present a robust
appearance, great care must
be taken to assure that no
undue force is applied to the
coil, piping, drain connection
or other delicate components
such as control boards during
handling. Wherever possible, all
units should be maintained in
an upright position and must be
handled by the cabinet.
At no time during handling
should the unit be supported or
lifted by the risers. Damage to
riser pipe or leaking connections
resulting from improper handling
is not covered under the
warranty.
Preliminary
installation
Zehnder Rittling assumes no
responsibility for personal injury
or property damage resulting from
improper or unsafe practices during
the handling, installation, servicing or
operation of equipment.
Installation of the Vertical Hi-Stack
Fan Coil should begin on the lowest
floor and progress upward, floor by
floor, to the top. Tip the unit over the
riser hole in the building floor. As the
unit is righted, align the risers with
the unit below.
In the case of shipped loose risers,
install from the lowest floor to the
highest floor. After the risers are field
tested for leaks, the Fan Coils can
then be installed in any order. Risers
are supported, anchored and isolated
in the field by others.
Field-furnished isolator pads, if
required, should be positioned
beneath the unit at this time.
On certain units, shipping screws or
braces for valves should be removed
before attaching any drywall to the
unit. Be sure to check all labels on
the unit to determine which, if any, of
these supports need to be removed.
Although Zehnder Rittling does
not become involved with the
design and selection of support
methods and/or components,
it should be recognized that
unacceptable operating
characteristics and/or
performance may result from
poorly implemented unit support.
Lifting or supporting the cabinet
only at the top and bottom
should be avoided to maintain
a straight and square cabinet.
When lowering the cabinet into
place, take care to properly align
the risers so they engage the
swage connection on the risers
below. Never bend or push risers
together to pass through the
opening in the floor.
