Horizontal Unit Location
Units are not designed for outdoor installation. Locate 
the unit in an INDOOR area that allows enough space for 
service personnel to perform typical maintenance or repairs 
without removing unit from the ceiling. Horizontal units 
are typically installed above a false ceiling or in a ceiling 
plenum. Never install units in areas subject to freezing or 
where humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation 
(such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air). 
Consideration should be given to access for easy removal of 
the fi lter and access panels. Provide suffi cient room to make 
water, electrical, and duct connection(s). 
If the unit is located in a confi ned space, such as a closet, 
provisions must be made for return air to freely enter the 
space by means of a louvered door, etc. Any access panel 
screws that would be diffi cult to remove after the unit is 
installed should be removed prior to setting the unit. Refer to 
Figure 3 for an illustration of a typical installation. Refer to unit 
specifi cations catalog for dimensional data.
Conform to the following guidelines when selecting 
unit location:
1.  
Provide a hinged access door in concealed-spline or 
plaster ceilings. Provide removable ceiling tiles in T-bar 
or lay-in ceilings. Refer to horizontal unit dimensions for 
specifi c series and model in unit specifi cations catalog. 
Size the access opening to accommodate the service 
technician during the removal or replacement of the 
compressor and the removal or installation of the unit 
itself.
2.  
Provide access to hanger brackets, water valves and 
fi ttings. Provide screwdriver clearance to access panels, 
discharge collars and all electrical connections.
3.   DO NOT obstruct the space beneath the unit with piping, 
electrical cables and other items that prohibit future 
removal of components or the unit itself.
4.   Use a manual portable jack/lift to lift and support the 
weight of the unit during installation and servicing.
The installation of water source heat pump units and all 
associated components, parts and accessories which make 
up the installation shall be in accordance with the regulations 
of ALL authorities having jurisdiction and MUST conform to 
all applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installing 
contractor to determine and comply with ALL applicable 
codes and regulations.

Mounting Horizontal Units
Horizontal units have hanger kits pre-installed from the factory 
as shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 shows a typical horizontal unit 
installation.
Horizontal heat pumps are typically suspended above a ceiling 
or within a soffi t using fi eld supplied, threaded rods sized to 
support the weight of the unit.
Use four (4) fi eld supplied threaded rods and factory provided 
vibration isolators to suspend the unit. Hang the unit clear 
of the fl oor slab above and support the unit by the mounting 
bracket assemblies only. DO NOT attach the unit fl ush with the 
fl oor slab above.
Pitch the unit toward the drain as shown in Figure 2 to improve 
the condensate drainage. On small units (less than 2.5 
tons/8.8kW) ensure that unit pitch does not cause condensate 
leaks inside the cabinet.
