Vert-I-Pak Installation Recommendations
For proper unit performance and maximum operating life please refer to the minimum installation clearances
below.
Figure 1
VERT-I-PAK®units must be installed on an outside wall. Confined spaces and/or covered areas should be
avoided. Units should be installed no closer than 12" apart when two units are side by side. If three or more
units are to operate next to one another allow a minimum of 60" between units or pairs of units. Also, a vertical
clearance of 60" should be maintained between units. Units installed on the bottom floor should be mounted at
least 6" off of the ground.
