nOtice
The Flow Center must be mounted with the pump shaft in
the horizontal position. In other words, it should always be
mounted in a vertical position (not on its back or mounted to
the ceiling). See Figure 3.
The pump should be located as close to the unit as possible
to limit the length of rubber hose kit or interconnect piping
and thus its associated pressure drop.
stud wall
Mounting on stud wall with or without drywall can be
accomplished by using two (2) lag bolts through the top and
bottom center holes directly into the stud. See Figure 4A.
cOncrete/masOnry wall
Mounting onto a concrete wall can be accomplished
typically using four (4) 1/4" diameter tapcon cement screws
in the four (4) outer corner mounting holes. See Figure 4B.
side Of unit
Mounting on the side of the unit is possible, but
not necessarily recommended because it can inhibit
serviceability and also lead to vibration of the sheet
metal casing. It could also lead to puncturing an internal
refrigerant or water pipe. If necessary, however, the flow
center can be mounted to the sheet metal casing utilizing
four (4) self-drilling screws. (Pay close attention not to
puncture internal components.)
