Rail and Roof Curb Mounting
Rail Mounting and Layout
• The unit may be installed on rails provided and
installed by others. Ensure that rails are designed
to handle the weight of the unit and provide proper
load distribution on building supports.
• Make sure that rail positioning does not interfere
with the supply air discharge opening on the unit.
• Rails should run the width of the unit and extend
beyond the unit a minimum of 12 inches on each
side.
• Set unit on rails.
Roof Curb Mounting
Roof curb details, including duct location dimensions,
are available on the model’s roof curb assembly
instructions.
Rooftop units require curbs to be mounted first. The
duct connections must be located so they will be clear
of structural members of the building.

Factory Supplied Roof Curbs
Roof curbs are model GKD which are shipped
in a knockdown kit (includes duct adapter) and
require field assembly (by others). Assembly
instructions are included with the curb.
2.
Install Curb
Locate curb over roof opening and fasten in
place. (Refer to Recommended Roof Openings).
Check that the diagonal dimensions are within
±1/8 inch of each other and adjust as necessary.
For proper coil drainage and unit operation, it is
important that the installation be level. Shim as
required to level.
