SECTION 2: SYSTEM INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Before proceeding with the installation, we
recommend reading through this section of the
manual for an overall understanding of the air
conditioning fan coil unit and air distribution system
component installation procedures.
Step 1: Locating the Unit
The fan coil unit may be installed in an unconditioned
space (as long as it is protected from the weather) such
as an attic, garage or crawlspace, or a conditioned space
such as a basement, closet or utility room (see dimen-
sions in Figures 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4).
When selecting a location, consider the location of the
unit in relation to the return air box or filter box as shown
in Figure 2.5. The return air duct should have at least one
90° bend to avoid unnecessary sound feedback to the
living space from the fan coil unit.
When selecting a location, consider the layout of the
plenum duct, supply tubing, refrigerant lines and conden-
sate drain line.
When installing the unit above a finished ceiling or living
space, install a secondary drain pan. Always follow local
code requirements.
