Burner/Blower Section
Use a crane and a spreader bar hooked to the factory
lifting lugs (shown below)
to lift and center the unit onto
the filter stand section. The sections should be caulked
together.
Install Ductwork
This table shows the duct sizes and straight lengths
recommended for optimal performance (AMCA
Publication 201-90). Using duct sizes less than
recommended will affect fan performance. Good
duct installation practices should be followed for the
remaining ductwork.

Concrete Slab and Unit Footprint
Concrete Slab
The first step in unit installation is to pour a concrete
slab capable of holding the unit weight as a base. The
slab should have a proper gravel drainage bed.
Service and Access Clearance
The slab should be positioned to allow 3 feet of
clearance on the control end of the unit and 2 feet of
clearance on the other three sides. Housing size 50
requires 3 feet of clearance on both ends because of
filters access. Note that the concrete forms a 1 foot
wide apron on all four sides of the unit unless a 42 in.
extension is added to the control end of the unit.
NOTE
If optional service platform is included, a minimum of
42 inches must be added to Dimension B.

between the heater and adjacent combustible surfaces to ensure the
adjacent surface’s temperature does not exceed 90 degrees above the
ambient temperature.
