Air to Water Heat Pump — Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
Section 5: Location & Mounting
Failure to comply with all of the guidelines IN THE
FOLLOWING could result in death, serious injury or
substantial property damage.
The installation must comply with all applicable local codes.
Prepare The Unit
Inspect the unit for shipping damage. DO NOT use if there is a
risk that the damage could affect unit operation.
Make sure all required components are available.
Install optional immersion heater, if used. See instructions
provided with the heater.
Location
• DO NOT locate where the unit could be sprayed by sprinklers.
• DO NOT locate near swimming pools, spas or any location
that could cause chlorine or other contaminant to enter the
unit.
• DO NOT locate where water run-off from adjacent structures
could impinge on the unit.
• Maintain the clearances shown in Figure 11.
Hoisting
(refer to Figure 10)
Using four equal length straps or cables, route them from the
mounting feet, in front of and behind the cabinet, and join them
together no less than 48" above the top of the unit.
This is ideally done in the original packaging, but if the unit
has been unpacked, ensure the cabinet is protected where the
cables cross, with sufficient padding such as multiple layers or
corrugated cardboard.
Use caution when handling. The unit is heavy and could cause
severe injury or damage if dropped or handled incorrectly.

Hoisting
Mounting Pad
The SpacePak heat pump must be mounted on a level corrosion
and weather-resistant mounting surface, preferably concrete.
The structural support must be suitable for the operating weight
of the unit and attached components, its mounting pad, snow
loading and any other expected loads.
There must be sufficient clearance all around the LAHP for proper
performance. Refer to Figure 11 for clearance dimensions.
The mounting pad must not be attached directly to a structure
where noise transmission would be objectionable.
Vibration isolators supplied with the chiller may be installed
when desired to reduce transmitted vibration.
Figure 11
Maintain Clearances Shown Above
The unit
must
be bolted securely to the pad. Where required by
local jurisdiction, the mounting must also be analyzed for seismic
loading capability.
The mounting must ensure that there will be no debris accumu-
lation which might block air flow through the enclosure openings.
The lower edge of the lower fan opening must be above the
typical snow line, including allowance for drifting.
There must be no accumulation of water that could reach the
bottom of the unit’s enclosure.
