UNIT SUPPORT
NOTE: Unit must be level | 2 degrees {a inch rise or fall
per foot of run (10mm rise or fall per 305 mm of run) }or
compressor may not function properly.
A. GROUND LEVEL INSTALLATION
The unit must be level and supported above grade by
beams, platform, or a pad. Platform or pad can be of
open or solid construction but should be of permanent
materials such as concrete, bricks, blocks, steel, or
pressure treated timbers approved for ground contact.
Soil conditions must be considered so that the platform
or pad does not shift or settle and leave the unit partially
supported. Minimum pad dimensions are shown in
Figure 2.
If beams or an open platform are used for support, it is
recommended that the soil be treated or area be
graveled to reduce the growth of grasses and weeds.
To minimize vibration or noise transmission, it is
recommended that supports not be in contact with the
building structure. However, slabs on grade
constructions with an extended pad are normally
acceptable.
B. ROOF TOP INSTALLATION
This type of installation is not recommended on wood
frame structures where low noise levels are required.
Supporting structure or platform for the unit must be
level. If installation is on a flat roof, locate unit minimum 6
inches (152mm) above roof level.
Place the unit over one or more load bearing walls. If
there are several units, mount them on platforms that are
selfsupporting and span several load bearing walls.
These suggestions are to minimize noise and vibration
transmission through the structure. If the structure is a
home or apartment, avoid locating the unit over
bedrooms or study.
NOTE: When unit is to be installed on a bonded
guaranteed roof, a release must be obtained from the
building owner to free the installer from all liabilities.
C. FASTENING UNIT DOWN
If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached in
place, remove the knockouts in the base pan and install
tie down bolts through the holes (refer to Figure 2).
Contact local distributor for hurricane holddown details
and the P.E. (Professional Engineer) certification, when
required.
