Application and Installation
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• Closet should allow for a minimum of three inches on three sides
of the unit for return air, drain connections and changeouts.
• Minimum recommended access door rough-in measure
ments 27" wide by 55 3/4" high (for VPRG4).
• Friedrich recommends the use of a platform between 24" and
36" above the oor, for ease of installation and serviceability.
• Duct outlet designed for external static pressures up to .30"
on 9,000 – 18,000 Btu/h models, and .40" on 24,000 Btu/h
models.
3
• New wall plenum allows chassis to be inserted 2
/8" into
plenum, thereby minimizing closet dimensions.
APPLICATION AND ACCESSORIES (ALL MODELS)
• Chassis is to be installed against an exterior wall. Wall cutout
dimensions will be 24 5/8" w x 30 7/8" h.
• The use of a Friedrich wall plenum is required for installa
tion. Plenum opening is 3/4" above the oor for 9, 12 and
18k models, and 11/2" for 24k BTU/h models. (VPAWP1-8 /
VPAWP1-14).
• Return air is accommodated with a return air lter attached
to the unit or through the use of a return air lter grille.
(VPRG4).
• Exterior louvers are available in anodized aluminum (VPAL2)
or in custom painted colors (VPSC2).
• Unit is controlled by a remote wall-mounted thermostat.
Friedrich model RT4 digital thermostat is recommended.
TYPICAL CLOSET ARRANGEMENT
Cutaway of a typical closet shown with Vert-I-Pak® chassis
installed in the wall sleeve. The unit has the thermostat, eld
wiring, internal drain and ex duct attached. VPRG4 return air
-
lter holder and access panel are shown to the right.
-
APPLICATION AND ACCESSORIES (TWO-TON MODELS ONLY)
• New design utilizes drain pan (VPDP1) that can be installed
prior to chassis for simplied installation and removal.
• Utilizes same wall plenum as other units to give consistent
exterior appearance. VEA/VHA24 plenum must be installed
1 1/2" o of chassis platform.

Models: VHA – Heat Pump with electric heat
All units shall be factory assembled, piped, wired and fully charged
with R-22. All units shall be certied in accordance with ARI Standard 390 for Single Packaged Vertical Air Conditioners and Heat
Pumps. Units shall be ETL listed and carry a ETL label. All units shall
be factory run-tested to check operation and be manufactured
by Friedrich or equivalent.
The basic unit shall not exceed 23 1/8" wide x 23 1/8" deep. Overall
height of the unit from the bottom of the isolators to the top of the
duct collar shall not exceed 32 ¼" for models up to 18,000 Btu and 47
¼" for models up to 24,000 Btu. The unit shall be designed so that the
unit will insert into a factory supplied wall plenum 2 3/8" to minimize
room intrusion. Factory supplied wall plenums shall allow for installation through walls from 4 ½" – 14" in thickness. Wall plenums will
be adjustable to minimize installation clearances. Unit shall draw in
ambient air through upper portion of an outside architectural louver
measuring 25 9/16" wide x 31 1/16" high and shall exhaust heated air out
through the lower portion of the louver. The unit shall be secured
to the architectural louver by means of a two part, weather-resistant
wall plenum. The unit shall be capable of left, right or straight-in
installations into mechanical closet without eld modications.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM – The refrigeration system shall be hermetically sealed and consist of a rotary compressor that is externally
mounted on vibration isolators no smaller than 1 ¾" dia. x 1 ½" high;
condenser and evaporator coils constructed of copper tubes and
aluminum plate ns; and capillaries as expansion devices. Unit shall
have a fan slinger ring to increase eciency and condensate disposal.
A primary condensate removal system consisting of ¾" FTP ttings on
multiple locations shall exist. A secondary overow from the primary
drain pan shall expel water to the outside of the building through the
wall plenum and louver in the event that the primary drain line clogs.
AIR HANDLING SECTION – The condenser fan shall be driven by a
single, totally enclosed, ball bearing, permanently lubricated split
capacitor fan motor for models up to 18,000 Btu. 24,000 Btu models
shall utilize a separate motor for both the indoor and outdoor air
sections. Airow shall be directed vertically up through a standard 10" ex duct starter collar and into exible or rigid ducts to
be distributed into the conditioned area. Starter collar shall have
both crimped edge to ease ex duct installation and a waistline
to prevent duct from loosening.
CONTROLS – The unit shall be factory equipped with terminal
strip for connection to a standard 24-volt single-stage heat/cool
thermostat. A 24-volt transformer shall be included and factory
wired. Low voltage inputs will include: C (common), R (24V power),
Y (cooling), G (fan), W (heat) and B (reversing valve on VHA heat
pumps only).The unit shall be hard-wired and have a quick-disconnect to disable power for control box service.
An emergency heat override switch must be available to allow
operation of the resistance heater in the event of a compressor
failure on heat pump models.
