Although unit is weatherproof, avoid locations that permit wa-
ter from higher level runoff and overhangs to fall onto the unit.
Locate mechanical draft system flue assembly at least 4 ft
(1.2 m) from any opening through which combustion products
could enter the building, and at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from any adja-
cent building (or per local code). Locate the flue assembly at
least 10 ft (3.05 m) from an adjacent unit’s fresh air intake
hood if within 3 ft (0.91 m) of same elevation (or per local
code). When unit is located adjacent to public walkways, flue
assembly must be at least 7 ft (2.1 m) above grade.
Select a unit mounting system that provides adequate height to
allow installation of condensate trap per requirements. Refer to
Step 11 — Install External Condensate Trap and Line for re-
quired trap dimensions.
ROOF MOUNT 
Check building codes for weight distribution requirements.
Unit operating weight is shown in Table 2.
Step 2 — Plan for Sequence of Unit Installation
The support method used for this unit will dictate different se-
quences for the steps of unit installation. For example, on curb-
mounted units, some accessories must be installed on the unit
before the unit is placed on the curb. Review the following for
recommended sequences for installation steps.
CURB-MOUNTED INSTALLATION
1. Install curb
2. Install field-fabricated ductwork inside curb
3. Install accessory thru-base service connection package
(affects curb and unit) (refer to accessory installation
instructions for details)
4. Prepare bottom condensate drain connection to suit
planned condensate line routing (refer to Step 10 for
details)
5. Rig and place unit
6. Install outdoor air hood
7. Install flue hood
8. Install gas piping
9. Install condensate line trap and piping
10. Make electrical connections
11. Install other accessories
PAD-MOUNTED INSTALLATION 
1. Prepare pad and unit supports
2. Check and tighten the bottom condensate drain connection
plug
3. Rig and place unit
4. Convert unit to side duct connection arrangement
5. Install field-fabricated ductwork at unit duct openings
6. Install outdoor air hood
7. Install flue hood
8. Install gas piping
9. Install condensate line trap and piping
10. Make electrical connections
11. Install other accessories
FRAME-MOUNTED INSTALLATION 
Frame-mounted applications generally follow the sequence for
a curb installation. Adapt as required to suit specific installa-
tion plan.
Step 3 — Inspect Unit
Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim with trans-
portation agency.
Confirm before installation of unit that voltage, amperage and cir-
cuit protection requirements listed on unit data plate agree with
power supply provided.
On units with hinged panel option, check to be sure all latches are
snug and in closed position.
Locate the carton containing the outside air hood parts; see Fig.
13. Do not remove carton until unit has been rigged and located in
final position.
Step 4 — Provide Unit Support 
ROOF CURB MOUNT
Accessory roof curb details and dimensions are shown in
Fig. 5. Assemble and install accessory roof curb in accordance
with instructions shipped with the curb.
NOTE: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical for a
watertight seal. Install gasket supplied with the roof curb as shown
in Fig. 5. Improperly applied gasket can also result in air leaks and
poor unit performance.
Curb should be level. This is necessary for unit drain to func-
tion properly. Unit leveling tolerances are show in Fig. 6. Refer
to Accessory Roof Curb Installation Instructions for additional
information as required.
