Commercial Installation Instructions
The Perfect 16 can be suspended from exposed ceiling joists or the ceiling surface.
Alternatively, it can be floor-mounted, fixed onto platform or plenum box. (see page 4 or 6
for examples).
1.
Choose a location between the air handler and the supply registers, 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.
2.
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.
3.
Remove connection panel and adapt for duct air handler 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. Never cut a panel with a Swiss cross.
4.
When positioning the system, ensure that “Dirty Air In” is in your air inlet.
5.
Attach ducting. For duct connection, follow the local installation codes.
6.
If the Perfect 16 system is connected directly to the air handler, remove all filters and
secure the cabinet via panel from inside to the air handler using sheet metal screws.
Ensure correct airflow direction when reinserting filters. Refer to “Filter Replacement”
instructions (see page 9).
7.
In basement installations, sheet metal turning vanes may be necessary to improve air
movement through an elbow in the duct.
8.
To hang or suspend the Perfect 16, replace four TX30 screws with four Perfect 16 eye
bolts. Ensure the materials and installation are able to support at least three times the
weight of the system. These are available for a nominal fee. Order number 207 90 50 01.
* Ensure that all building codes are followed.
9.
Use foil tape to seal all duct joints. Important: All leaks on the return side of the system
will cause dirty air to leak into the return air stream. Leakage also occurs in many air
handlers via the blower door. The blower door should also be sealed with foil tape for
the best air cleaning results.
10. Fill out the filter replacement label with the date of the next scheduled filter
replacement, which should be no more than 3 years from the current date
(based on 50% usage).
11. Check and inspect system for leakage.
12. Test for efficiency with a laser particle counter, such as a ParticleScan, and complete the
Perfect 16 “10X Cleaner Air Certificate” (North America only).
