The blower must also be mounted vertically or at a
•
pitch of 2:12 or greater. If the pitch of the mounting sur-
face is less than 2:12, construct a roof curb to mount
the blower. See
Installation Preparation
for exact
dimensions.
When mounted in a exposed location shield it to pre-
•
vent the accumulation of water in the chassis. On
horizontal installations, point the discharge in the same
direction as prevailing winds. When mounted vertically,
the discharge must point down.
Installation Preparation
Prepare the mounting surface and reinforce it if neces-
1.
sary according to the
Blower Location and Mounting
specifications starting on page 4.
Make a cutout in the center of the mounting location
2.
according to Figure 1.
On roofs with a pitch of 2:12 or less, construct a roof
3.
curb according to the specifications below. Attach it to
the mounting surface and seal it around the base.
Installation Planning and Preparation
Blower Location and Mounting (cont.)
Select a location that can properly support or can be
•
reinforced to support the weight of the blower (see
weight table below). The unit requires a mounting sur-
face around the perimeter of the base of the unit 2”
in width and thick enough to accommodate the 8, 2
1/2” long mounting screws that are provided with the
unit. All contact surfaces between the blower and any
mounting surfaces must be solid and at right angles.
See Figure 1 for the required mounting surface dimen-
sions.
