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.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
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 “Starting
Procedure” and any tags and/or labels attached to the
equipment.
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 3 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 airflow 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.
Refer to Table 9 Maximum ESP of Operation – Electric
Heat Only on page 24.
Any grille that meets with 5/8 inch louver criteria may
be used. It is recommended that Bard Return Air
Grille Kit RG5 or 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.
NOTE: If no return air duct is used, applicable
installation codes may limit this cabinet to installation
only in a single story structure.
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.
All models covered by this installation instructions
require 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 2 and 3 on pages 8 and 9 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.
FILTERS
A 2-inch pleated filter is standard with each unit. The
filter slides into position making it easy to service. This
filter can be serviced from the outside by removing the
filter access panel.
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.

INSTALLATION
WALL MOUNTING INFORMATION
1. Two holes for the supply and return air openings
must be cut through the wall as shown in Figure 2
on page 8.
2. On wood frame walls, the wall construction must be
strong and rigid enough to carry the weight of the
unit without transmitting any unit vibration.
3. Concrete block walls must be thoroughly inspected
to insure that they are capable of carrying the
weight of the installed unit.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
1. These units are secured by wall mounting brackets
which secure the unit to the outside wall surface at
both sides. A bottom mounting bracket, attached
to skid for shipping, is provided for ease of
installation, but is not required.
2. The unit itself is suitable for 0 inch clearance,
but the supply air duct flange and the first 3 feet
of supply air duct require a minimum of 1/4 inch
clearance to combustible material. However, it is
generally recommended that a 1 inch clearance is
used for ease of installation and maintaining the
required clearance to combustible material. See
Figure 2 on page 8 for details on opening sizes.
3. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom
mounting bracket location. See Figure 2.
4. Mount bottom mounting bracket.
WARNING
Failure to provide the 1/4 inch clearance
between the supply duct and a combustible
surface for the rst 3 feet of duct can result in
re causing damage, injury or death.
6. Position unit in opening and secure with 5/16 lag
bolts; use 7/8 inch diameter flat washers on the lag
bolts.
7. Secure rain flashing to wall and caulk across entire
length of top. See Figure 2.
8. For additional mounting rigidity, the return air
and supply air frames or collars can be drilled
and screwed or welded to the structural wall itself
(depending upon wall construction). Be sure to
observe required clearance if combustible wall.
9. On side-by-side installations, maintain a minimum
of 20 inches clearance on right side to allow access
to control panel and heat strips, and to allow proper
airflow to the outdoor coil. Additional clearance
may be required to meet local or national codes.
5. Hook top rain flashing, attached to front-right of
supply flange for shipping, under back bend of top.
