SHIPPING AND PACKING LIST
1- Assembled HP25 heat pump unit
Check unit for shipping damage. Consult last carrier
immediately if damage is found.
GENERAL INFORMATION
These instructions are intended as a general guide and
do not supersede national or local codes in any way.
Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted be
fore installation.
IMPORTANT
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional

SETTING THE UNIT
HP25 heat pump units are approved and warranted
only for installation with specially matched indoor
coils, L10 or L15 line sets, and refrigerant control de
vices as designated by Lennox. Refer to the Lennox En
gineering Handbook for approved systems.

1- Place a sound-absorbing material, such as Iso
mode, under the unit if it will be installed in a loca
tion or position that will transmit sound or vibra
tion to the living area or adjacent buildings.
2- Mount unit high enough above ground or roof to al
low adequate drainage of defrost water and prevent
ice build-up.
3- In heavy snow areas, do not locate unit where drift
ing will occur. The unit base should be elevated
above the depth of average snows.
NOTE-Elevation of the unit may be accomplished
by constructing a frame using suitable materials. If
a support frame is constructed, it must not block
drain holes in unit base.
4- When installed in areas where low ambient tem
peratures exist, locate unit so winter prevailing
winds do not blow directly into outdoor coil.
5- Locate unit away from overhanging roof lines
which would allow water or ice to drop on, or in
front of, coil or into unit.

Slab Mounting (See figure 3)
When installing unit at grade level, top of slab should
be high enough above the grade so that water from
higher ground will not collect around unit. Slab should
have a slope tolerance away from the building of 2 de
grees or 2 inches per 5 feet (51mm per 1.5m). This will
prevent ice build-up under unit during a defrost cycle.
Refer to roof mounting section for barrier construction
if unit must face prevailing winter winds.

Roof Mounting (See figure 4)
If unit coil cannot be mounted away from prevailing
winter winds, a wind barrier should be constructed.
Size barrier at least the same height and width as out
door unit. Mount barrier 24 inches (610mm) from the
sides of the unit in the direction of prevailing winds.

ELECTRICAL
Wiring must conform to the National Electric Code
(NEC) and local codes. Application diagram is included
in this instruction (see figure 6) and in indoor unit
instructions. Refer to figure 5 for thermostat designa
tions. Refer to unit rating plate for minimum circuit am
pacity and maximum fuse size.
WARNING
Unit must be grounded in accordance with
national and local codes.
Electric Shock Hazard.
Can cause injury or death.

2- Install room thermostat (ordered separately) in
the conditioned area. Locate where it will not be
affected by sunlight, drafts or vibration. Do not
install on an outside wall. A position approxi
mately 5 feet (1.5m) from the floor and near the
center of the conditioned area is most desirable.
3- Provide low voltage wiring from outdoor to indoor
unit and from thermostat to indoor unit as indi
cated on the field wiring diagram in this instruc
tion. See figure 6.
4- Ground unit either through supply wiring or with
an earth ground.
