modification.
Locating the Air Handler
• Survey the job site to determine the best location for
mounting the unit. Consideration should be given to
availability of electric power, service access, and noise.
• The dimensions of the room or alcove must be able to
accommodate the overall size of the unit and the installation
clearances listed in Table 1 . Physical dimensions for this
air handler are also shown in Figure 11 (page 15) .
• The air handler should be set into position before routing
the refrigerant tubing.
Minimum clearances
• This appliance must be installed in accordance with
clearances listed in Table 1 . The air handler must be
installed with ample clearance for easy access to the air
filter, blower assembly, heater assembly, controls, and
vent connections. Applicable building codes may require
additional clearance to equipment. Refer to applicable
building codes for details.
• Static pressure drop through louvered openings and
through return air plenums should be considered in the
overall duct design in the determination of the total external
static pressure.
Installation in a Garage
WARNING:
Do not place combustible materials on or against
the cabinet. Do not place flammable materials,
(gasoline, paint thinners, etc.) or any other

the joint between the air handler and the return
air plenum must be air tight.
Return air and circulating air ducts must not be

• This unit is designed only for use with a return and supply
duct. The return air duct must have the same free area as
the opening provided on the air handler. The ducts should
be appropriately sized to the capacity of the air handler to
ensure its proper airflow rating.
