COMPACT - 50 HZ INSTALLATION MANUAL

Installing Horizontal Units

Remove and discard the compressor hold down shipping

bolt located at the front of the compressor mounting

bracket prior to setting the unit in place. Horizontal units

are available with side or end discharge.

NOTE: Left (Right) Return Side Discharge cannot be

converted to Left (Right) Return End Discharge or vice

versa, without additional custom sheet metal parts.

Horizontal units are normally suspended from a ceiling by

four (006-015 models) or five (017 model) 9.5 mm diameter

threaded rods. The rods are usually attached to the unit by

hanger bracket kits furnished with each unit.

Lay out the threaded rods per the Hanger Bracket

Dimensions table. Assemble the hangers to the unit as

shown. Securely tighten the brackets to the unit using the

weld nuts located on the underside of the bottom panel.

When attaching the hanger rods to the bracket, a double

nut is required since vibration could loosen a single nut. To

allow filter access, install hanger brackets as illustrated in

the Hanger Bracket Locations section. The unit should be

pitched approximately 6.35 mm towards the drain in both

directions to facilitate the removal of condensate. Use only

the bolts provided in the kit to attach hanger brackets. The

use of longer bolts could damage internal parts.

Some applications require the installation of horizontal

units on an attic floor. In this case, the unit should be set

in a full size secondary drain pan on top of a vibration

absorbing pad. The secondary drain pan prevents possible

condensate overflow or water leakage damage to the

ceiling. The secondary drain pan is usually placed on a

plywood base isolated from the ceiling joists by additional

layers of vibration absorbing material.

CAUTION: Do not use rods smaller than 9.5 mm

diameter since they may not be strong enough

to support the unit. The rods must be securely

anchored to the ceiling.
