DUCT WORK
FRESH AIR INTAKE
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 Maximum ESP of operation Electric Heat Table
11 on page 28.
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.
Models W18 – W24 are approved for 0" clearance to
the supply duct. For model series W30, W36, W42,
W48, W60 and W72, a 1/4" clearance to combustible
material for the first 3' of duct attached to the outlet
air frame is required. See wall mounting instructions
on page 6 and Figures 3 and 4 (pages 8 – 12) for
further details.
All units are built with fresh air inlet slots punched in
the service door.
If the unit is equipped with a fresh air damper
assembly, the assembly is shipped already attached
to the unit. The damper blade is locked in the
closed position. To allow the damper to operate, the
maximum and minimum blade position stops must be
installed (see Figure 1).
All capacity, efficiency and cost of operation
information is based upon the fresh air blank-off plate
in place and is recommended for maximum energy
efficiency.
The blank-off plate is available upon request from the
factory and is installed in place of the fresh air damper
shipped with each unit.
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.
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".
Any grille that meets with 5/8" 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.
NOTE: If no return air duct is used, applicable
installation codes may limit this cabinet to
installation only in a single story structure.
FILTERS
A 1" throwaway 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. A 1" washable filter and 2" pleated
filter are also available as optional accessories. The
internal filter brackets are adjustable to accommodate
the 2" filter by bending two tabs down on each side of
the filter support bracket.

INSTALLATION
WALL MOUNTING INFORMATION
1. Two holes for the supply and return air openings
must be cut through the wall as shown in Figures
Figures 3A – D (pages 8 – 11).
WARNING
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 and brick 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 supply air duct flange and the first 3' of supply
air duct require a minimum of 1/4" clearance
to combustible material for model series W30,
W36, W42, W48, W60 and W72. However, it
is generally recommended that a 1" clearance is
used for ease of installation and maintaining the
required clearance to combustible material. See
Figures 3A – D for details on opening sizes.
3. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom
mounting bracket location (see Figures 3A – D).
4. Mount bottom mounting bracket.
Failure to provide the 1/4" clearance between
the supply duct and a combustible surface
for the rst 3' 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" diameter flat washers on the lag
bolts.
7. Secure rain flashing to wall and caulk across entire
length of top (see Figures 3A – D).
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" clearance on right side to allow access to
control panel and heat strips and 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.
