Manual 2100-351
Page 6
A 1/4 inch clearance to combustible material for the first
three feet of duct attached to the outlet air frame is
required. See Wall Mounting Instructions and Figures 3
and 3A for further details.
Ducts through the walls must be insulated and all joints
taped or sealed to prevent air or moisture entering the
wall cavity.
Some installations may not require any return air duct. A
metallic return air grille is required with installations not
requiring a return air duct. The spacing between louvers
on the grille shall not be larger than 5/8 inch.
NOTE: If no return air duct is used, applicable
installation codes may limit this cabinet to
installation only in a single story structure.
Any grille that meets with 5/8 inch louver criteria may be
used. It is recommended that Bard Return Air Grille Kit
RG2 through RG5 or RFG2 through RFG5 be installed
when no return duct is used. Contact distributor or
factory for ordering information. If using a return air
filter grille, filters must be of sufficient size to allow a
maximum velocity of 400 fpm.
Design the duct work according to methods given by the
Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA).
When duct runs through unheated spaces, it should be
insulated with a minimum of one inch of insulation. Use
insulation with a vapor barrier on the outside of the
insulation. Flexible joints should be used to connect the
duct work to the equipment in order to keep the noise
transmission to a minimum.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
A plastic drain hose extends from the drain pan at the top
of the unit down to the unit base. There are openings in
the unit base for the drain hose to pass through. In the
event the drain hose is connected to a drain system of
some type, it must be an open or vented type system to
assure proper drainage.
FILTERS
WL6022 AND WL4822 ONLY
A one inch throw away filter is supplied with each unit.
The filter slides into position making it easy to service.
This filter can be serviced from the outside by removing
the service door. A one inch washable filter and a two
inch pleated filter are also available as optional
accessories. The internal filter brackets are adjustable to
accommodate the two inch filter by bending the metal
tabs holding the 1 inch filter down. There are two tabs
on each side of the filter.
NOTE: WL6023 and WL4823 models require the use of
a return air filter grille.
While these instructions are intended as a general
recommended guide, they do not supersede any national
and/or local codes in any way. Authorities having
jurisdiction should be consulted before the installation is
made. See Page 1 for information on codes and
standards.
Size of unit for a proposed installation should be based
on heat loss calculation made according to methods of
Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). The
air duct should be installed in accordance with the
Standards of the National Fire Protection Association for
the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating
Systems of Other Than Residence Type, NFPA No. 90A,
and Residence Type Warm Air Heating and Air
Conditioning Systems, NFPA No. 90B. Where local
regulations are at a variance with instructions, installer
should adhere to local codes.
DUCT WORK
All duct work, supply and return, must be properly sized
for the design air flow requirement of the equipment. Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is an
excellent guide to proper sizing. All duct work or
portions thereof not in the conditioned space should be
properly insulated in order to both conserve energy and
prevent condensation or moisture damage.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be checked
for external signs of shipping damage. If damage is
found, the receiving party must contact the last carrier
immediately, preferably in writing, requesting inspection
by the carrier’s agent.
GENERAL
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed
by trained, experienced service and installation
technicians.
The refrigerant system is completely assembled and
charged. All internal wiring is complete.
The unit is designed for use with or without duct work.
Flanges are provided for attaching the supply and return
ducts.
These instructions explain the recommended method to
install the air cooled self-contained unit and the electrical
wiring connections to the unit.
These instructions and any instructions packaged with
any separate equipment, required to make up the entire
air conditioning system should be carefully read before
beginning the installation. Note particularly any tags and/
or labels attached to the equipment.
