If possible, select a site for the unit that is as close as possible to the proposed return grille location. Unit dimensions are shown in Figure 9 & Table 2, (page 10). DO NOT PLACE UNIT UNDER THE HOME.
• The unit should be located with consideration of minimizing the length of the supply and return ducts. If practical, place the air conditioner and its ducts in an area where they will be shaded from the afternoon sun, when the heat load is greatest.
• The length of the supply and return ducts should be kept to a minimum with no sharp radius bends.
• Overhead obstructions, poorly ventilated areas, and areas subject to accumulation of debris should be avoided. The hot condenser air must be discharged up and away from the home, and if possible, in a direction with the prevailing wind. Do not place the unit in a confined space. See Figure 9 & Table 2, (page 10) for unit dimensions.
• Sufficient clearance for unobstructed airflow through the outdoor coil must be maintained in order to achieve rated performance.
• Consideration should also be given to availability of electric power, service access, noise, and shade.

Figure 3. Return & Supply Air Collars

Locating & Installing the Return Air Assembly
To simplify installation, locate and install the return air assembly first. If desired, the return opening can be located inside a closet with louvered doors that has an open area equal to or greater than a 12” x 20” grille. The return air grille can be placed in the wall of a closet and the air ducted into the filter box through a boxed-in area at the closet floor level (Figure 4). Verify the filter is readily accessible.

Figure 4. Return Air Box

NOTE: The return air box with grille and filter should not be located in heavy traffic areas like hallways or center of rooms. A good spot is in a corner or under a table, if a minimum two inch clearance is available

1. Start the installation from under the home by cutting a small hole in the subfloor. Determine how the floor joist location will affect cutting the opening needed for the return air box.
   NOTE: Floor joists are generally located on 16” centers, leaving 14-3/8” between joists.

2. After measuring the return air box (approximately 12-1/4” x 20-1/4”), cut the hole through the floor so that the box will fit between the floor joists. Care should be taken when cutting through carpeting to avoid snags.
   NOTE: In most installations it will be necessary to cut a similar hole in the fiberboard directly under the hole in the floor. However, if the floor is more than ten inches deep, it will only be necessary to cut a hole for the collar on the return air box or for the insulated duct.

3. Set the box into the opening and fasten with screws or nails. 4. Install the filter and return air grille in the air box.

Connecting the Return & Supply Air Flexible Ducts

• Flexible ducts may be cut to the required length and spliced with sheet metal sleeves and clamps. Keep all ducts as short and straight as possible. Avoid sharp bends. Please follow all instructions packed with duct.
• Flexible ducts can be secured to the corresponding fittings with the clamps provided with the ducts. NOTE: To prevent a loss in cooling capacity, make sure all connections are tight.
• Ducts may be spliced with sheet metal sleeves and clamps.
• After the inner duct is connected to the proper fitting, the insulation and plastic sleeve should be pulled over the connection and clamped.
• Homes with multiple supply ducts (or special applications), a Y fitting is available to divide the supply air so it can be ducted to different areas of the home for more efficient cooling.
  NOTE: For maximum performance, insulate the Y fitting.

Locating & Installing the Supply Damper(s)

CAUTION:
If installing this air conditioning system in conjunction with a furnace, a damper must be installed in the furnace base assembly to prevent cold air from being discharged around the heat exchanger. Damage to the heat exchange and asphyxiation may occur if a damper is not installed.

Check with the furnace manufacturer for damper requirements. Failure to install the required furnace damper may invalidate code agency listing and limited warranty on the furnace.

When locating the supply damper(s), carefully check floor joists and frame members that could interfere with the installation of the damper or flexible duct. Ideally, the damper should be located in the bottom of the main duct, forward of center of the home, at least three feet from the nearest register. See Figure 5. The round supply opening in the slanted side of the damper should face the side of the home where the air conditioner is located.

1. Locate the center of the heat duct by cutting a small hole in the fiberboard below the duct at the desired location.
2. Cut a hole approximately 3/4” larger than the damper opening in the fiberboard.
3. Cut a 9-1/8” x 13-1/8” hole in the duct and bend over all tabs flat on the inside of the heat duct.
4. Insert the damper into the duct and bend over all tabs flat on the inside of the heat duct.
5. Seal the opening between the fiberboard and damper or flexible duct
