The ga,sketing of the unit to the roof curb is critical

for a watertight seal. Install ga.sheting material supplied with the
roof curb. Improperly applied gasketing can also result in air leaks
and poor unit performance.
Curb should be level to within I/4 in. This is necessary for unit
drain to function properly. Refer to accessory roof curb installation
instructions for additional information
as required.
SLAB MOUNT
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete

pad that is a minimum

of

4 in. thick with 2 in. above grade. The slab should be flush on the
compressor end of the unit (to allow condensate drain installation)
and .should extend 2 in. on the three remaining sides of the unit
(See Fig. 6). Do not secure the unit to the slab except when
required by local codes.

recommendations:

1. Avoid low spots in long runs of pipe. Grade all pipe 1/4 in. in

pipe sizes larger than l/2 in., follow recommendations

3. Apply joint compound (pipe dope) sparingly and only to male
