Placement Considerations for the Heat Pump
1. Ensure the location meets all requirements for ambi-
ent temperature, structural support, unit dimensions,
operational and service clearances. See performance
and physical specications to conrm.
2. Mounting location must be level and stable.
3. Unit location should be easily accessible for visu-
al inspection and for regular service. Placement
should allow for possible heat pump removal/re-
placement in the future..
4. Unit location should be as close as possible to con-
ditioned space to allow for the minimum piping and
heat tracing possible in exterior environments, and
as close as possible to condensate drainage points,
hot water storage tanks, cold water source, and any
air intake/discharge locations.
5. Unit location should minimize the risk of water dam-
age in the event of leaks or drainage failure.
6. Unit should be mounted high enough to ensure
condensate piping pitch to a remote drain point, or
to a condensate pump in conditioned space for fur-
ther handling.
7. Unit location should consider the impact of operat-
ing noise and potential vibration on the surroundings
and mitigate these impacts as appropriate.
8. Location should provide adequate protection to the
unit from vehicles, plows, falling objects, or other
potential sources of damage.
9. If unit location is indoors, ensure adequate ventila-
tion or internal heat gain is present to allow for unit
operation, and/or that optional ducting is installed.
Mounting the Heat Pump
The e-Series heat pump must be mounted on a sol-
id, level base, typically a concrete pad. Unit should
be bolted securely to the base using the supplied at-
tachment points. If the base is not level, then the heat
pump itself must be leveled to ensure proper conden-
sate drainage and mounting stability.
Mounting the unit on elevated rails is also possible.
Complete structural requirements for rails are beyond
the scope of this manual: however, required rail posi-
tions and minimum rail widths are specied in the fol-
lowing diagram to properly support the internal struc-
ture of the heat pump.
Regardless of the mounting method, the heat pump must
be securely afxed to the ground or building to prevent
any possibility of the unit tipping over. No freestanding
mounts are acceptable on any application.
