Type HVH Horizontal/Vertical Unit Heater
GENERAL
Heater Location Instructions:
Arrange units so their discharge air streams:
A. Are subjected to a minimum of interference from columns,
machinery and partitions.
B. Wipe exposed walls without blowing directly at them.
C. Are directed away from room occupants in comfort heating.
D. Are directed along the windward side when installed in a build-
ing exposed to a prevailing wind.
E. See additional mounting limitations in Table D.
Locate thermostat on interior partition walls or posts away from
cold drafts, internal heat sources and away from heater discharge air
streams.
Small rooms can be heated by one unit heater. Where two walls
are exposed, the heater should be mounted as shown in Figure 1.
WARNING
Failure to understand and follow these installation instructions and
the “WARNING” notes therein may result in serious personal injury
from electrical shock, or from the heater falling due to faulty installation.
This heater is not intended for use in hazardous atmospheres where flammable vapors, gases, liquids or other
combustible atmospheres are present as defined in the
National Electric Code. Failure to comply can result in
explosion or fire. For these applications see PDS CXH-AEP (PF490).
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power before
installing or servicing heater. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage. Heater must
be installed or serviced by a qualified person in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
Large rooms require multi-unit installation. Number and capacity
of units will be determined by volume of building and square feet of
floor area to be heated. Arrange units to provide perimeter air circulation where each unit supports the air stream from another.

Figure 1 - Single and Multi Unit Mounting
This heater is not intended for use in exposed outdoor,
marine, or wash-down environments or in areas where
corrosive liquids or fumes exist under normal conditions.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Any installation involving
electric heaters must be performed by a qualified person
and must be effectivley grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code to eliminate shock hazard.
Do not mount mercury type thermostat directly on unit. Vibration
could cause heater to malfunction.
The heater must be mounted at least 7’ above the floor to prevent
accidental contact with the heating elements or fan blade which could
cause injury.
Keep at least 5’ clearance in front of the heater. Refer to Table D
for side, top and back clearance requirements.

WARNING (cont’d.)
The ceiling mounting structure and the anchoring provisions must
be of sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the heater
and mounting bracket. (Refer to Table B for weights of heater and
bracket.)
The wall or mounting surface, and the anchoring provisions
must be capable of supporting the combined weight of the heater and
mounting brackets cantilevered from the mounting surface. (Refer to
Table B for weights of heater and brackets and for cantilevered force
expressed in foot-pounds.)
Fan blade rotation must be checked. If airflow is not moving out
through the louvers, interchange any two of the three customer power
leads on three-phase units only.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE – These heaters are designed for wall and ceiling mount.
Other modes of mounting void factory warranty.
Vertical Air Flow
1. Height above floor
A. It is recommended that the heater only be used with ceiling
heights of 12 feet or greater. Minimum spacing to ceiling is 6
inches, use 3/8-18” thread stock (supplied by others) as shown
in Figure 3.
B. Mimimum mounting height is 10 feet from floor to bottom of
heater.
2. Spacing to walls.
A. Side of case to wall 6”. Top or bottom of case to back wall is
10-1/4” (HVH-02 to HVH-05), 13” (HVH-15 to HVH-20) and
15-1/2” (HVH-25 to HVH-50).
CEILING (Vertical Airflow):
A. The heater can be rod mounted to the ceiling by installing four
(4) threaded mounting rods in the threaded holes located on the
top of the heater as shown in Figure 3. (Refer to Table C for
mounting rod thread size.)
B. Securely attach the four (4) mounting rods to the ceiling. (Re-
fer to Table D for wall and ceiling clearances, and Figure 2 for
mounting spacing specifications.)

B. For ceiling heights of 12 feet or less, maximum mounting
height is detemined by the use of the mounting bracket offered
for these heaters. Minimum spacing to ceiling is 7-3/4”. (See
Figure 5)
C. In either case, the mimimum mounting height is 7 feet from
floor to bottom of heater.
2. Spacing to adjacent walls.
A. Rear of case to back wall 2” minimum.
B. Side of case to side wall 6” minimum.
CEILING – Horizontal Airflow (See Figure 5):
The ceiling mounting bracket is fastened to the top of the heater using
the four (4) bolts supplied with the mounting bracket. The bracket is
then mounted to the ceiling using a 5/8” bolt (by others).
WALL – Horizontal Airflow (See Figure 6):
Wall mounting necessitates the use of both an adaptor mounting
bracket and a wall mounting bracket. First, attach the ceiling mounting
bracket to the heater. Then, attach the wall mounting bracket to the
wall using four 5/16” bolts and six 3/8” bolts (by others). Attach the
ceiling mounting bracket on the heater to the wall mounting bracket
using the 5/8” bolt provided.
