Residential Installation Instructions
The Perfect 16 can be floor-mounted, fixed onto a platform, plenum box, or be suspended
from exposed ceiling joist or the ceiling surface (see page 4 for installation examples).
1.
Inspect the installation area. Remove existing filters or systems that may add additional
pressure drop to the system.
2.
Choose a location between the main return duct and the furnace, which is readily
accessible for checking and replacing the filter. Allow at least 24.5 in. (622 mm)
clearance in front of the ID-2225 and 28.5 in. (724 mm) clearance in front of the
ID-2530.
3.
Determine the correct air inlet and air outlet side of the system. The air inlet is marked
with “Cut this Panel for Duct Connection – DIRTY AIR IN”. The air outlet is marked with
“Cut this Panel for Duct Connection – CLEAN AIR OUT”. Both panels will need to be
cut for the proper fit of the ducting prior to installation. Never cut a panel with a
Swiss cross.
4.
Remove connection panel and adapt for duct connection as necessary (see page 7,
Cutting Openings Into Panels). If flex duct is used, it is strongly recommended to use
18” round collar for the ID-2225 and 20” for the ID-2530. Best performance is achieved
with rectangular openings. For maximum allowable opening, see diagram on page 2.
5.
When positioning the system, ensure that “Dirty Air In” is in your air inlet.
6.
Attach ducting. For duct connection, follow the local installation codes.
7.
If the Perfect 16 system is to be connected directly to the furnace, remove all filters and
secure the cabinet via panel from inside to the furnace using sheet metal screws.
