Installation Configurations
For ease in installation, it is best to make any necessary
configuration changes before setting the dehumidifier in place.
See “Installation Configuration Options” for the specific
installation.
Vertical Installations
Counterflow/Side Discharge
The dehumidifier must be supported on the bottom only and set
on a field-supplied supporting frame with a return air inlet
opening. Securely attach the dehumidifier to the supporting
frame.
Installation Configuration Options
Horizontal Installations
Horizontal installations can be only right-hand air supply. The
cabinet must be supported by the building structure to ensure
cabinet integrity. Ensure that there is adequate room to remove
the access panels if installing in the horizontal position. See
Minimum Clearance Requirements in “Location Requirements.”
Installation Configuration Options
Suspended Cabinet Installation
NOTE: Ensure there is adequate room to remove the dehumidifier
access panels. See Minimum Clearance Requirements chart in
“Location Requirements.”
The suspending installation uses field-fabricated ³⁄₈"-16 all-
thread rod passing through the top panel and connected to
the dehumidifier base.
The ³⁄₈"-16 all-thread rod should be attached to the
appropriate lengths of angle iron or equivalent structural steel
which is attached to building structure capable of supporting
the weight of the dehumidifier.
If the dehumidifier is not suspended by ³⁄₈"-16 all-thread rod,
use the grommet plugs to cover the holes in the grommets.
