the following mounting means:
Hung on closet wall
Using mounting kit 90PK3, air handler
may be wall mounted. Brackets and
screws are provided for both the closet

AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCTS
All duct work must be installed in accor-
dance with National Fire Protection As-
sociation Codes 90A and 90B. Ducts
should be adequately insulated to pre-
vent condensation during the cooling
cycle and to minimize heat loss during
the heating cycle. All return air must be
filtered to prevent dirt buildup on the coil
surface. If there is no ducted return,
applicable installation codes may limit
the unit to installation only in a single
story residence. In many cases it is
acceptable to use ducting of the same
size as the fan coil connections. How-
ever, unique arrangements or long duct
runs must be confirmed by a local pro-
fessional. The manufacturer will not be
responsible for misapplied equipment.
the platform.
All fan coil units are U.L. Listed for
installation with zero inches clearance to
combustible materials. This includes
the fan coil cabinet, discharge plenum
and connecting ducts. Sufficient clear-
ance must be provided at the front of the
fan coil to allow access to electrical con-
trols and removal of the motor /blower
assembly for servicing. This clearance
distance should be approximately the
same as the depth dimension of the fan
coil unit.
