UNIT LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DETAIL ALL OF
CONSTRUCTION PARAMETERS THAT COULD BE
ENCOUNTERED, THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES AND
PRECAUTIONS ARE RECOMMENDED:
• MASONRY WALLS MUST HAVE A LINTEL TO
SUPPORT THE WALL.
• DURING THE WALL SLEEVE ASSEMBLY PAY
ATTENTION THAT THE SIDE PANEL FLANGES AND
THE BASE PANEL DRAIN HOLES ARE ON THE SAME
SIDE OF WALL SLEEVE, SEE FIG 4.2.
To minimize the effect of interaction between multiple units in a building there are some general location
considerations that need to be taken into account.
Installation of units in locations that do not follow these rules may lead to abnormal operation and
premature failure. The use of these general rules may differ depending on each individual application.
Please contact the manufacturer or your dealer for alternatives and application assistance.
The general location considerations are:
• Each wall with Condo Pack unit installed should be at least 2ft away (for every
floor) from the opposite building wall facing the unit. If facing wall also has a Condo
Pack unit installed, those two walls should be at least 4ft apart. See Table 1.
• A six story building with six Condo Pack units installed in a vertical array,
should be at least 12ft away from the opposite building wall and at least 24ft
away if the opposite building wall also contains Condo Pack units.
• Buildings taller than six stories will have the same distance parameters as six-story buildings.
• If three or more adjacent walls form an air shaft with Condo Pack units facing each other
in each wall, the distance between opposite walls should be increased by 20%.
NUMBER OF FLOORS WITH
THE UNITS
6 or more
• In order to be able to remove the unit, at least 40 " (101,5 cm) of open
area must be left unobstructed in front of the front doors.
• Do not install directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring.
The grille side of the unit must protrude minimum 1/2" but no more than 1" (maximum) from
the face of the building and should not be obstructed by foreign objects. Refer to FIG. 4.2.1.B.
• If the unit is installed in an outside wall of a storage garage, it must be
located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. This unit must
be installed so that no electrical components are exposed to water.
