Vertical Installation
VERTICAL UNIT LOCATION
Packaged units are not designed for outdoor installation.
Locate the unit in an INDOOR area that allows enough space
for service personnel to perform typical maintenance or
repairs without removing the unit from the installed location.
Vertical units are typically installed in a mechanical closet
or basement. Never install units in areas subject to freezing
or where humidity levels could cause cabinet condensation
(such as unconditioned spaces subject to 100% outside air).
Also, provide sufficient room to make water, electrical, and
duct connection(s).
If the unit is located in a confined space, such as a closet,
provisions must be made for return air to freely enter the
space by means of a louvered door or other method. Any
access panel screws that would be difficult to remove after
the unit is installed should be removed prior to setting
the unit. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for typical installation
illustrations. Refer to unit catalog specifications for
dimensional data.
1. Install the unit on a piece of rubber, neoprene or other
mounting pad material for sound isolation. The pad
should be at least 3/8 inches [10 mm] to 1/2 inches
[13 mm] in thickness. Extend the pad beyond all four
edges of the unit.
2.
Do not block filter access with piping, conduit or other
materials. Refer to unit catalog specifications for
dimensional data.
3.
Provide access to water valves and fittings and
screwdriver access to the unit side panels, discharge
collar and all electrical connections.

SOUND ATTENUATION FOR VERTICAL UNITS
Sound attenuation is achieved by enclosing the unit within a
small mechanical room or a closet. Additional measures for
sound control include the following:
1. If free return, mount the unit so that the return air inlet
is 90° to the return air grille (refer to Figure 3). Install a
sound baffle as illustrated to reduce line-of sight sound
transmitted through return air grilles.
2. Mount the unit on a Tranquility
®
Unit Isolation Pad to
minimize vibration transmission to the building structure.
