Horizontal units should at least be supported
at the corners and middle as shown at right.
More supports may be required to maintain
straightness.
Where units must be supported from over-
head, any supports must not interfere with
service access as described on previous
page.
All units should be supported on a steady surface. Where mounted above grade, the unit should be firmly
attached to an adequate supporting structure. Outdoor units must be firmly fastened to prevent movement. Where
large units must be installed overhead, provide suitable under-base support with a service mezzanine. The support
must include horizontal stabilization.

All units must be supported to maintain the
straightness of the frames and prevent the binding
of access doors or panels.
Install anti-vibration springs or pads such as
machinery cork, rubber pads, or other approved
isolation materials to isolate the unit from the
supporting structure (see drawing at right).
IMPORTANT!
Do not mount the unit on a plywood floor or on
any other material that will resonate.
IMPORTANT!
Where seismic mounts are used, care must be
taken to prevent strains on conduits, refrigera-
tion tubes, water tubes, or condensate tubes.
All horizontal units should be uniformly
supported along the side rails. Where this is not
possible, the following minima apply:
Where a unit does not have a return duct, a 4 ft.
(1.2m) minimum clearance is required between the
air intake and any obstruction. There must be no
walls, beams, posts, ducts, conduits, or anything
else to interfere with smooth air flow within 4 feet
of the intake filters.
