WARNING

Sufficient structural support must be determined prior
to locating and mounting the curb and package unit.

Ductwork must be constructed using industry
guidelines. The duct work must be placed into the
roof curb before mounting the package unit. Our full
perimeter curbs include duct connection frames to be
assembled with the curb. Cantilevered type curbs
are not available from the factory.

Curb insulation, cant strips, flashing and general
roofing material are furnished by the contractor.

The curbs must be supported on parallel sides by roof mem-
bers. The roof members must not penetrate supply and re-
turn duct opening areas as damage to the unit might occur.

NOTE: The unit and curb accessories are designed to allow
vertical duct installation before unit placement. Duct
installation after unit placement is not recommended.

UNIT CLEARANCES

Adequate clearance around the unit should be kept for safety,
service, maintenance, and proper unit operation. A total clear-
ance of 75” on the main control panel side of the unit is rec-
ommended to facilitate possible fan shaft, coil, and electric
heat. A clearance of 48” is recommended on all other sides
of the unit to facilitate possible compressor removal, to allow
service access and to insure proper ventilation and condenser
airflow. The unit must not be installed beneath any obstruc-
tion. The unit should be installed remote from all building
exhausts to inhibit ingestion of exhaust air into the unit fresh
air intake.

CHECKS

After installation, check the top of the curb, duct connection
frame and duct flanges to make sure gasket has been ap-
plied properly. Gasket should be firmly applied to the top of
the curb perimeter, duct flanges and any exposed duct con-
nection frame. If gasket is loose, reapply using strong weather
resistant adhesive.
