Wall Opening Dimensions Exterior Wall Plenum Cut-Out Dimensions (W x H): 24 5/8” x 30 7/8” 3/4” NOTE: The distance between the rough opening and the finished floor/platform must be 3/4”. If the installation will utilize an auxiliary drain pan it may not exceed 3/4” in height.
Wall Plenum Installation Parts included in Plenum kit: B Outside Plenum Half (Part A) Inside Plenum Half (Part B) A Field Supplied Parts: Sealant, attachment screws, and flashing are field supplied. Silicone sealant is recommended. Flashing Sealant VPAWP-8 adjust for walls up to 4”- 8” thick. VPAWP-14 adjust for walls up to 8” - 14” thick Shim All installations are similar.
Wall Plenum Installation Step 1 - Outside Wall Plenum Half Note: The wall plenum is not designed to carry any structural load. A load bearing header must be built above the rough opening. 1. Prepare the rough opening. The rough opening should be lined with metal or wood. The plenum will warp if sealed against concrete or brick. 2. Dry fit the outside plenum half into the rough opening and check the fit and level. 3.
Wall Plenum Installation Step 2 - Inside Wall Plenum Half Caulk all 8 Flange Corners and Unused Holes Detail A 1. Apply sealant to all 4 flange corners and unused holes. See Detail A. 2. Flash the inside of the rough opening to ensure the proper fit and level. 3. Insert inside plenum half (Part B) into outside plenum half (Part A). Ensure that Part A does not back out of the rough opening. 4. Remove the inside plenum half. 5.
Wall Plenum Installation Step 3 - Inside Wall Plenum (cont.) B Detail B NOTE: Do not place any screws, fasteners, or penetrating holes through the top or bottom of the plenum assembly. 1. Drill pilot holes on the interior of the inside plenum half (Part B) as show in Detail B. Pilot holes should be located approximately 4” from the top and bottom of the inside plenum half, on both the left and right sides. 2. Install fasteners through each pilot hole. Fastener must pass through both Part A and Part B.
Wall Plenum Installation Step 3a - Inside Wall Plenum Half VHA18 & VHA24 Drain Kit Installation Note: The VHA18 and VHA24 models require installation of the large chassis drain kit (VPDP2). Please reference the VPDP2 installation manual for more detailed instructions. 1. Cut away gasket from the of the base of the inside wall plenum half the length of the drain kit beginning from the bottom right corner. 2. Place the VPDP2 where the gasket has been removed as shown above. 3.
Louver Installation Installation of the louver PRIOR to wall plenum installation 1. 2. Hold the louver up to the outside plenum half (Part A) and line up the louver top with the very top edge of the ¾” flange. Line up the wall plenum holes with the threaded holes in the louver and securely tighten fasteners. Installation of the louver AFTER the installation of wall plenum on elevated floors From the interior of the utility closet: 1.
Final Wall Plenum and Architectural Louver Installation Louver NOTE: Ensure that the weather strip is undamaged and provides a continuous seal around the inner perimeter of the plenum. Apply silicone grease or other non-petroleum-based lubricants to the weather strip to enhance the sealing capability of the weather strip and ease installation of the air conditioner chassis. 1. Loosen the two set screws located on the top side of the divider. 2.
Chassis Installation A 1. Ensure that the wall plenum and louver are installed in accordance with the instructions listed on pages 13-18. 2. Place the chassis into the closet with the outdoor side facing the wall plenum opening. 3. Slide the chassis into the wall plenum until the plenum divider seal is established. NOTE: The Vert-I-Pak chassis must be inserted into the wall plenum so that the plenum divider gasket makes contact with the plastic condenser baffle on the unit.
Primary Drain Installation Nipple 3/4” PVC/NPT Union 3/4” FTP/SLIP Supplied 3/4” plugs Threaded end Example of field supplied DWV system Slip end NOTE: Failure to follow the following procedures may result in serious property damage. A field supplied secondary condensate pan or P-trap may be required. Check with local codes. In case of drainage system blockage, the unit base will allow excess water to flow out of the unit through the plenum and the architectural louver.
Indoor Return Air Grille and Ductwork Installation Option 1 Option 2 VPRG4/R Return Air Grille with Access Panel A field-supplied (25” x 20”) can be mounted inside the hinged access door. The door can be installed with the grille oriented at the top of the panel for improved sound attenuation. Field Supplied Return Air Grille A field supplied return air grille divorced from the access panel must have a minimum 250 square inches of free area.
Remote Thermostat and Low Voltage Control Connection Remote Thermostat Auxiliary Fan Control All Friedrich Vert-I-Pak units are factory configured to be controlled by using a single stage heat/cool remote wall mounted thermostat. The thermostat may be auto or manual changeover as long as the control configuration matches that of the Vert-I-Pak unit. The Friedrich Vert-I-Pak also has the ability to control a 24VAC relay to activate an auxiliary or transfer fan.
