IMPORTANT
the unit can be flipped 180° from the way it was received
from the factory. By doing so, the sides become opposite
but the front and back remain in the same relative position.
The bottom panel now becomes the top panel and viceversa. Be sure to remove the spring loaded deflector
blades, turn them over, replace, and adjust so they are open
and in a position to direct the heated air down to the floor.
Note that the labels on the front of the unit will be upside
down. New stickers can be purchased from Modine.

1. Start-up and adjustment procedures should be
performed by a qualified service agency.
2. Be sure no obstructions block air intake and discharge
of unit heaters. Do not attach ductwork or air filters to
this unit heater. Maintain a minimum of 6” clearance to
inlet openings.
1. Units should not be installed in atmospheres where
corrosive fumes or sprays are present.
2. When locating the heater, consider general space and
heating requirements and availability of hot water and
electrical supply.
3. Be sure the structural support at the unit location site is
adequate to support the unit’s weight.
4. Determine mounting orientation of the unit heater.
Figure 3.1 shows three typical orientations. Additional
details can be seen in Figure 5.2.
5. Be sure no obstructions block air intake and discharge
of unit heaters. Do not attach ductwork or air filters to
this unit heater. Maintain a minimum of 6” clearance to
inlet openings. Failure to do so will result in poor unit
performance.
6. Unit heaters installed in a building exposed to a
prevailing wind should be located to direct a major
volume of heated air along the windward wall.
7. Vertical delivery unit heaters should generally be
located in the central area of the space to be heated.
Place horizontal delivery units along the walls of the
same building where heat loss is usually greatest.
8. Locate units so they do not blow directly at occupants.
9. Locate units so their air streams blanket exposed walls.
Reversing Electrical/Piping Connection Access
Units feature electrical access on the left and piping
connections on the right as standard (when looking at the
unit). If the installation requires the access to be reversed,

INSTALLATION – UNIT MOUNTING
CAUTION
Do not install units below 7' measured from the bottom of the
unit to the floor in commercial applications (unless unit is
properly guarded to provide user protection from moving
parts) and 5' measured from the bottom of the unit to the
floor in residential applications.
IMPORTANT
When mounting the unit to the joists, do not compress the
vibration isolators by over tightening the lag bolt screws into
the joist. Doing so will greatly reduce the ability of the
isolator to dampen vibration.
1. Be sure the means of suspension is adequate to
support the weight of the unit (see Table 8.1 for unit
weights).
2. Before lifting the heater for suspension, based on the
mounting orientation selected (refer to Figure 3.1), the
mounting brackets must be installed on the unit as
follows:
For Horizontal Air Delivery Orientations:
a) Position the brackets on the top of the unit as
shown in Figure 4.1.
For Vertical Air Delivery Orientations:
a) Position the brackets on the side of the unit as
shown in Figure 5.1. Note the following:
• For 10” or 12” deep joists, the bracket can be
oriented as shown in the top picture.
• For 12” deep joists, the bracket can be oriented
as shown in the bottom picture for additional
headroom. Refer also to Figure 5.2.
• If required, louver blades can be flipped to
change the direction of airflow control. To do
so, remove the spring loaded deflector blades,
turn them over, replace, and adjust so they are
open and in a position to direct the heated air.
For All Units:
b) Secure the brackets to the unit with the 3/8”-16 x 1”
Hex Bolts and 3/8” Lock Washers included with the
bracket kit. The bolts thread into the retaining nuts
that are located in the top of the unit casing.
c) Repeat for the bracket on the left side of the unit
(not pictured).
d) Install the vibration isolators that were supplied with
the unit (see Figure 4.1) by inserting the smaller
diameter pieces through the ¾” diameter holes from
the top side of the bracket. The larger diameter
pieces are fitted from the bottom side. The outer
diameter of the top mounted pieces will friction fit
into the inside diameter of the bottom pieces.
3. With the brackets installed on the unit, the unit can be
installed to the ceiling joists or trusses as follows (refer
to Figure 5.2):
• The bracket mounting hole locations accommodate
joists on 16" centerlines.
• Use (4) 1/4" lag bolt screws (supplied by others) that
are at least 3” long. The (4) 1-1/2” x 1/4” Fender
Washers (supplied by Modine) must be placed
between the lag bolt screw and bottom vibration
isolation piece
• Install the lag bolt screws until the top of the isolator
just touches the bottom of the joist. Do not
compress the isolator by over tightening the lag bolt
screw. Doing so will greatly reduce the ability of the
isolator to dampen vibration.
