IMPORTANT: The gasketing of the unit to the roof curb or
adapter roof curb is critical for a watertight seal. Install gas-
ket with the roof curb or adapter as shown in Fig. 1. Improp-
erly applied gasket can also result in air leaks and poor unit
performance.
B. Alternate Unit Support
When the curb or adapter cannot be used, install unit on a
noncombustible surface. Support unit with sleepers, using
unit curb support area. If sleepers cannot be used, support
long sides of unit with a minimum of 3 equally spaced 4-in. x
4-in. pads on each side.
II. STEP 2 — RIG AND PLACE UNIT
Inspect unit for transportation damage. File any claim with
transportation agency.
Do not drop unit; keep upright. Use spreader bars over unit
to prevent sling or cable damage. Rollers may be used to
move unit across a roof. Level by using unit frame as a refer-
ence; leveling tolerance is ±
1
/
16
in. per linear ft in any direc-
tion. See Fig. 3 for additional information. Unit operating
weight is shown in Table 1.
Four lifting holes are provided in ends of unit base rails as
shown in Fig. 3. Refer to rigging instructions on unit.
A. Positioning
Maintain clearance, per Fig. 4 and 5, around and above unit
to provide minimum distance from combustible materials,
proper airflow, and service access.
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate unit
air inlets near exhaust vents or other sources of contami-
nated air. For proper unit operation, adequate combustion
and ventilation air must be provided in accordance with Sec-
tion 5.3 (Air for Combustion and Ventilation) of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (American National Standards
Institute).
Although unit is weatherproof, guard against water from
higher level runoff and overhangs.
Locate mechanical draft system flue assembly at least 4 ft
from any opening through which combustion products could
enter the building, and at least 4 ft from any adjacent build-
ing. When unit is located adjacent to public walkways, flue
assembly must be at least 7 ft above grade.
B. Roof Mount
Check building codes for weight distribution requirements.
Unit operating weight is shown in Table 1.

NOTE: CRRFCURB013A00 is a fully factory preassembled horizontal
adapter and includes an insulated transition duct. The pressure drop
through the adapter curb is negligible.
For horizontal return applications: The power exhaust and barometric
relief dampers must be installed in the return air duct.
