Indoor Air (Conditioned Supply Air)
System
The unit may beapplied ineither afree return airconfiguration
or a ducted returnairconfiguration. The design and construction
of the indoor-air system must provide adequate airdistribution
to ensure comfort levelsthroughout the structure. All ductwork
must be properly sized for the designed air flow of the unit. All
duct work should be properly insulated to conserve energy and
prevent condensation damage. Where the duct runs through
unheated spaces, it should be insulated with at least one inch
of insulation. Insulation with a vapor barrier on the outside
should be used. Use flexible joints to connect the ductwork to
the unit to reduce noise transmission into the structure. See

920-138-02(3-04)
_, CAUTION: Ifreturn air ducting is not used, an adequately
sized metal return air grille is required. Velocity should not
exceed 500 FPM for return air grilles, and 400 FPM for filter
grilles. It is recommended that the proper Friedrich return air
grille kit be installed in applications where no return duct is
used.
FILTERS
Two replaceable air filters are supplied from the factory. The
filters are accessible through the access panels on the sides of
the unit (See Figure2) or from the inside of the building through
the return airgrille.
The combined pressure losses of the return and supply air
paths must not exceed the external static capabilities of the
system at the design airflow (See Table 1).
The factory-installed filter rails are designed to hold 1" or 2"
filters. When using 2" filters the filter rail divider tabs must be
folded flat (See Figure 3).
NOTE: Dirty filters are the most common cause of inadequate
heating and cooling performance
• Inspect filters monthly
• Replace disposable type filters before they become
clogged
• Use water and mild detergent to clean washable type
filters
NOTE: Most filters are marked with an arrow to indicate the
proper direction of air flow through the filter The arrow MUST
point in the direction of air flow
OUTDOOR AIR SYSTEM
As a completely self-contained system, OES/OHS series units
require an adequate supply of outdoor air to exchange heat
from the outdoor air coil. The outdoor air intake and discharge
openings are located on the front and sides of the unit.
_IL CAUTION: To ensure proper operation, the outdoor air
intake and discharge air paths must be free and unobstructed
for the first 20 inches. The two air paths must be unrestricted
to ensure that the intake and discharge air do not recirculate
(also called short-circuit).
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
A plastic drain hose extends from the drain pan to the vent at
the bottom of the unit. This line can be attached to a suitable
drainage system. If this is done, the system must be vented
or open type to ensure proper drainage. Condensate water
can freeze in cold weather which could create hazardous
situations.

MOUNTING PREPARATIONS
Forming the Duct Flanges
To minimize the possibility of shipping damage, all units are
shipped with field formed duct flanges. These flanges must
all be formed into place prior to mounting the unit.
The perforated bend lines of the duct flanges provide
a location for field hand bending/forming to occur in a
repeatable manner. When forming the flanges, begin at the
upper most perforations and work from top to bottom. The
procedures for bending the duct flanges are as follows:
• Face the back side ofthe unit,which is the side that will
ultimately make contact with the mounting surface. (See
Figure 4.)
• Wearing protective gloves, grasp the center of the
metal flange with both hands and gradually bend
outward at approximately a 45 degree angle.
• Continue this process until the entire length of the
flange is bent to a 45 degree angle.
• Starting back in the center, grasp the flange with both
hands and complete the bend to 90 degrees along the
entire length. The flange should now be perpendicular
to the rear of the cabinet. (See Figure 5.)
• Repeat the above steps for each of the eight
perforated metal flanges on the rear of the cabinet.
When completed, there will be eight duct flanges that
are perpendicular to the rear of the cabinet. (See
Figure 5.)
_, CAUTION: Repeated bending of the flanges from
flat to the perpendicular position will eventually weaken
the sheet metal and ultimately cause failure of the metal
flanges.
Installing Sealing Gaskets
In order to ensure a proper air seal between unit and the
building, the factory-supplied sealing gaskets must be
applied. Failure to install the gaskets may result in air leaks
and poor unit performance.
• Facing the mounting side of the unit, retrieve the
sealing gaskets from the return air opening of the
unit.
• Next, apply a piece of the gasket vertically to both
the left and right side of the air openings as shown.
• With the remaining gasket, seal the top and bottom
of both the supply and return air opening as shown.
Gaskets may be cut with a utility knife or torn by hand to
the proper length.

MOUNTING THE UNIT
Mounting Information
Two holes must be cut inthe wall for the supply and return air
openings. (See Figures 7 and 8)
On wood frame walls, the wall may need to be reinforced in
order to hold up to the weight of the unit.
Concrete block walls must be thoroughly inspected to insure
that they can handle the unit weight.
It is the installer's responsibility to insure that hardware used
for mountng of unit is correct for wall material.
New Installation
OES/OHS units are affixed to the wall by way of three
mounting brackets. The bottom bracket supports the majority
of the weight load, and the side brackets hold the unit in place
(See Figures 6 and 7).
Friedrich recommends a 1 inch clearance to combustible
material for the first 3 feet of duct attached to the outlet air
frame.
1. Locate and mark lag bolt locations and bottom
mounting bracket location. (See Figure 8)
2. Mount bottom mounting bracket.
3. Connect the side mounting brackets to the rear
corner posts of the unit. Brackets may be mounted
with flanges outward or inward. See Figure 6
for dimensions for new installation. Friedrich
recommends installing the brackets outward.
4. Connect the rain flashing to the back flange of the
unit top by using screws in the top panel. Top rain
flashing is shipped secured to the back of the unit.
(See Figure 9)
5. Position the unit in the opening and secure to the
wall with 5/16 inch lag bolts; use 7/8 inch diameter
flat washers on the lag bolts.
6. Secure the rain flashing to the exterior wall and caulk
across the entire length of the top. (See Figure 9)
7. On side by side installations, maintain a minimum
of 20 inches clearance on both sides to allow
access to heat strips and to allow proper airflow
out of the outdoor coil. Additional clearance may
be required to meet local or national codes.
Replacement Installation
Friedrich mounting brackets are removable and can be
mounted in two ways to ensure the bracket holes are in line
with the studs. (See Figure 6)
When doing a replacement project measure the space
between the studs, then look at the chart below, which gives
the space between mounting brackets for all chassis sizes.
Decide in which position the brackets should be mounted
to best match the stud spacing. If the unit is to be installed
with the brackets facing outwards, (Figure 6) first mount the
brackets onto the unit and then secure to the wall. If the unit
is to be installed with the brackets facing inwards (Figure
6), first mount brackets to the wall, then position the unit up
against the wall and secure brackets to the unit.
