PTACInstallationRecommendations
For proper PTAC unit performance and maximum operating life refer to the minimum installation clearances
below:
Figure 1
PTAC units should be installed
no closer than 12" apart when
two units are side by side. If
three or more PTAC units are to
operate next to one another allow
a minimum of 36" between units
Also, a vertical clearance of 60"
should be maintained between
units installed. In the interior
of the room the unit should be
located a minimum of 1/4" from
the floor and a minimum of 36"
from the ceiling.
