FAA INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The FAA must be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically
the FAA would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will
be mounted. If a basement area is not convenient or does not exist, a utility room may be used.
Attic installation must meet the following conditions:
• Attic temperature must be above freezing conditions at all times and for best performance should be 12°C
(54 °F).
• The condensate drain (if included) must be installed so that the condensate drains and is protected from freezing.
• The attic is easily accessible for equipment maintenance and inspection.
Connecting appliances to the FAA is not recommended. These include:
• Clothes dryer
• Range top
• Stovetop fan
• Central vacuum system
• Bathroom exhaust fans unless they are specifically designed for this purpose
These appliances may cause lint, dust or grease to collect in the FAA, damaging the unit.
Connecting any of these types of appliances to the
FAA will void your warranty.
Mounting- Chain mount
• Have a nearby power supply
(120 volts, 60Hz)
• Choose a location which
allows the possibility
of mounting the unit to
supporting beams.
• The unit should be level
in order to allow proper
condensate drainage
• To minimize noise, do not
install unit in living area
• Ensure proper drainage
1 Place fastening hooks on
the strapping board or
the oor joists.
2 Take at screwdriver and
slightly pull on punched out
tab. Put chain link under
hook.
4 Install a spring on each
chain. Hook the spring
in the links so a loop is
created in the chain. The
spring will then support the
unit's weight and absorb
vibrations.
3 Hang the unit by slipping
a link onto the hanging
hooks, making sure the
unit is level.
