Multi-Piece Outdoor AHU
Before placing the AHU on the curb, do the following:
1. If applicable, remove the metal bracket attached
to the cross channel, and wood shipping blocks
before assembling the shipping splits.
2. If the AHU is provided with shipping splits as
shown in
or the splits
were not assembled before placing the AHU on
the curb,
complete the following steps:
1. Use the construction grade caulk (not pro-
vided) in place of the curb top gasket and the
following instructions to apply it.
2. Apply the caulk on top of curb before each
section is placed on the curb.
3. Apply the caulk with a 1/2 in. diameter bead
to make sure the seal is sealed after sections
are pulled together.
3. If the AHU sections are going to be assembed be-
fore placing them on a curb, be sure the they are
lying on a flat surface during assembly.
4. Make sure the top of curb is flat, and shims were
added, if needed, to ensure the curb remains flat.
5. Verify the correct sections, and orientation of each
one.
6. Remove the cross brace(s) (shipping supports)
from each section’s shipping split.
7. Remove the plastic shipping covers and supports.
8. Remove the screws from the curb rest to release
the wood shipping blocks. Do not remove the ship-
ping blocks from under AHU until the assembled
AHU is ready to be lifted and placed on a curb. Be
sure that no debris clings to the bottom of each
section when lifted and placed onto a curb.
