OXBOX JAYCURB002A Roof Mounting Curb

Product Information

The Full Perimeter Roof Mounting Curb (or frame) with the model number JAYCURB002A is designed for use with Oxbox 2 – 3.5 Ton Double Deck Gas Units only. It is used for proper installation and adjustment of the unit. The installation instructions and safety precautions are provided in the user manual with the model number BX-SVN-JAYCURB002-1A-EN. It is important to read and follow these instructions carefully to ensure safe and correct installation, adjustment, and operation of the unit.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Adequate support must be provided beneath the roof mounting curb for the entire length of the curb. Consider the total weight of the unit, curb, duct, and any accessories when selecting and placing the curb on the roof.
2. Ensure that the location of the roof mounting curb allows sufficient service clearance around the unit when it is in place. Refer to Figure 2 for guidance.
3. The roof mounting curb serves as support for the unit and allows for easy penetration of the roof for connecting ductwork. It also facilitates proper flashing and sealing by the roofing contractor as approved by the National Roofing Contractors Association.
4. The roof mounting curb must be installed on a flat, level section of the roof, with a maximum pitch of 1/4 per foot. If the roof pitch exceeds this limit, a subbase needs to be constructed by the contractor to provide a level mounting surface for the curb.

Note: These instructions provide a general procedure for installation. For specific variations in the system or any unforeseen problems, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer for further information or guidance.

Installation Instructions

These instructions are organized for an easy step-by step procedure.
NOTE: These instructions do not purport to cover all variations in system nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with the installation. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to the manufacturer.

1. Adequate support must be provided beneath the roof mounting curb for the entire length of the curb. The total weight of the unit, curb, and duct, plus any accessories must be considered when selecting and placing the curb on the roof.

2. Be sure location of the roof mounting curb will allow needed service clearance around unit when the unit is in place. See Figure 2.
   NOTE: The roof mounting curb (frame) not only provides support for the unit, but permits easy penetration of the roof for the connecting ductwork. The roof mounting curb provides for proper flashing and sealing by the roofing contractor as approved by the National Roofing Contractors Association.

3. Roof Mounting Curb (frame) must be installed on a flat, level section of the roof (maximum of 1/4” per foot pitch), providing a level mounting surface for the unit, even though the roof is not level. If the pitch of the roof exceeds 1/4” per foot, it will be necessary for the contractor to construct a subbase on which to install the roof mounting curb level.

4. Do not locate the mounting curb near exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated air that could enter the unit air inlets. Although unit is water proof, guard against water run off from higher overhanging structures.

5. Field Fabricated Ductwork – Secure all ducts to building structure. Use flexible duct connectors between curb and ducts. Ducts passing thru unconditioned space must be insulated and covered with a vapor barrier.

Roof Mounting Curb and Supply/Return Size Required Air Opening
Important: The opening must be covered temporarily to prevent anyone or anything from falling thru the opening. Follow this safety precaution when working in other areas of installation, and leaving the job site overnight for any extended period of time.

1. All duct work must be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Standards No. 90A and 90B.
2. Remove only that portion of the roof deck to permit the installation of field fabricated air ducts. Roof decking remaining beneath unit base pan will reduce sweating on bottom of unit base pan during high humidity conditions.
3. All components are used to assemble roof curb. See Figure 4 for components of curb.

Roof Mounting Curb Assembly

The Roof Mounting Curb is shipped disassembled with the components to be assembled on the job site as illustrated. See Figure 4 for list of components before starting job.

1. Remove the components of the mounting curb from packing and separate pieces from each other.

2. Lay out separate pieces on flat surface close to area where it will be used. See illustrations to determine proper placement of parts. Assemble by snapping the tabs on Channel End Rails, into the slots on Channel Side Rails, the mating parts of the mounting curb. When properly sealed, the tab will lock into place.

3. Set supports A and B onto channel sides and channel ends as shown in Figure 4.
   Important: The curb does not have insulation on inside perimeter of curb. To prevent condensation from forming on the inside surface of the curb, insulate and seal the outside surface of the curb as shown in illustration. If the roof deck is removed or omitted from the entire inside area of the roof curb, insulation should be secured to the bottom of the unit base pan to prevent condensation from forming. Insulate the bottom of the condenser section of the unit base pan after the unit has been placed on the curb. Glue a 1” thick foil covered fiberglass duct board or equivalent to the bottom of the unit base pan, with foil side out. Do not use water base glue.

4. Place Mounting Curb assembly over hole cut in roof. Square the Curb by measuring from one corner diagonally to the opposite corner. Repeat this measurement of opposite corners and adjust the Curb until the measurements are the same.
   NOTE: The top of the Supports must be flush with the top of the Side Rails to insure a good water and air seal against the bottom of the unit.

5. Secure Mounting Curb assembly to roof structure by welding or bolting.

6. Install flashing and roofing in accordance with local codes. A typical section of insulation, roof, and mounting curb is shown in Figure 5.
   NOTE: If unit is not ready to be set into position at this time, stop work on mounting curb at this point. When unit is ready to set into position, and just prior to setting unit, complete installation.

7. Field Fabricated Ducts are to be installed from above mounting curb, they should be installed at this time. See Figures 7 and 8 for installation illustrations.

8. Apply a bead of architectural grade caulking (field supplied) at corners of curb to seal all voids, preventing water leaks.
