6.1 General Information
1. ECP8- type Chillers are not fully-enclosed. They
are designed to be installed in a metal enclosure
(Mounting Box MB23A, MB232A, etc.). This is
typically seen with Legacy In-Wall applications.
2. This Remote Chiller is designed for indoor use only
and should not be installed outdoors or in a humid
environment.

louver panel when panel is in place.
6.
Water inlet is 3/8” (10 mm) O.D. unplated tube.
Contractor to supply connections as required.
7. Connecting lines to be made of unplated copper.
Thoroughly flush all lines to remove all foreign
matter before connecting to chiller. If flushing does
not remove all particles, a water strainer should be
installed in supply line. This chiller is manufactured
in such a manner that it does not in any way cause
taste, odor, color or sediment problems.
7. Installation
1.
Connect chiller to building supply with a shut-off
valve and install a 3/8” (10 mm) unplated water line
between the valve and chiller. Remove burrs from
outside of water line. Insert water line into bulkhead
union until it reaches a positive stop, approximately
3/4” (19 mm).
Note:
Do not solder tubes inserted into the strainer
as damage to the O-rings may result.
2.
Electrical: Make sure power supply is identical in
voltage, cycle, and phase to that specified on chiller
serial
plate. Never wire the compressor directly to
the power supply.
