SECTION 8: ROOF CURB
The roof curbs that support the air handler and
accessory sections are available for all horizontal air
handlers. See Page 41, Table 20 for roof curb. Roof
curbs are shipped unassembled and require field
assembly. Double check dimensions after assembly
before roof material is installed and compare to the
drawing on Page 40, Figure 30.
NOTE: Before installation, verify that you have the
correct roof curb and all required assembly brackets.
If any components are missing, contact Rapid
Engineering LLC or your RAPID
®
independent
representative.
8.1 Roof Curb Assembly and Installation
Assemble roof curb according to the assembly
drawings in Page 43, Section 32. Supplied hardware
must be torqued to recommended specifications on
Page 8, Table 1.
Place the curb on the roof in the position in which it
will be installed. Check that the diagonal
measurements are within 1/8"(3 mm) of each other.
To ensure a weatherproof seal between the air
handler and the curb, the curb must be level with no
twist from end to end. Shim level as required and
secure curb to roof deck using best building
practices. The curb is self-flashing. Install roofing
material as required.
