Pre-Installation Requirements
CLCH-SVX07C-EN 11
• Confirm the roof curb or foundation of the mounting
platform is level and large enough to accommodate
the unit. Refer to the unit submittals for specific
dimensions.
• Provide adequate lighting for maintenance personnel
to perform maintenance duties.
• Provide permanent power outlets in close proximity to
the unit for installation and maintenance.
• Depending upon job requirements, the customer may
need to provide 120 Vac power to the unit controller.
Refer to submittals for more information. A dedicated
15-amp circuit is recommended.
• Wiring for the air handler must be provided by the
installer and must comply with all national and local
electrical codes.
• If the unit integral base frame ceiling suspension
provisions are not used, the installer/contractor must
provide a ceiling-suspended mounting frame
designed to support the length, width, and weight of
the entire air-handling unit. See “Ceiling Suspension”
on page 26 for more information.
• Rooftop curb-mounted units must be sealed tightly to
the curb. Use proper sealants and roof-to-curb sealing
techniques to prevent water and air leakage. Refer to
CLCH-SVN05A-EN Roof Curbs for Performance
Climate Changer™ Air Handlers Installation
Instructions.
Note: Preparation of the roof curb or pier mount and roof
openings should be completed prior to lifting the
unit to the roof.
Roof Curb Installation Checklist
See CLCH-SVN05A-EN Roof Curbs for Performance
Climate Changer™ Air Handlers Installation Instructions
for information on installing roof curbs.
It is recommended that the curb be installed directly on the
support members and fastened to the supports using tack
welds or other equivalent methods. Properly supported
decking should be installed inside the air handler section
of the curb when this method is used. See Figure 2.
1. Verify that the roof structure can adequately support
the combined weight of the unit and curb assembly.
2. Ensure that the selected installation location provides
sufficient service and operational clearances.
3. Remove any twist within the curb due to roof supports
and square the curb.
4. Level the curb.
5. Secure the curb to the roof support members.
6. Install 2-inch thick boards or rigid insulation around the
curb.
7. Install cant strips around the curb.
8. Bring field supplied roofing felt up to the top of the curb
nailing strips. Nail felt into place.
9. Install field supplied flashing under the lip of the curb
flanges and over the felt.
10. Apply sealant to the four corners.
11. Caulk all joints between the curb and the roof.
Attach the gasket material to the curb’s top flanges (entire
perimeter) and to the supply and return air duct opening
panel flanges.
NOTICE:
Microbial Growth!
The floor or foundation must be level and the
condensate drain at the proper height for proper coil
drainage and condensate flow. Standing water and wet
surfaces inside the equipment can become an
amplification site for microbial growth (mold), which
could cause odors and damage to the equipment and
building materials.
