INSTALLATION

Application

The TechPure media air cleaner cabinet is designed

to capture a signicant amount of airborne particles.

The cabinets are sold with MERV 11 or MERV 15

lter media. TechPure media lter cabinets can be

installed in all forced warm air furnaces and cooling
systems up to 5 tons (2000 CFM).

Mounting Positions

The TechPure media air cleaner cabinet can be
mounted in any position.

Installation

1. Plan the installation:

The TechPure media air cleaner cabinet is designed
to support the weight of a residential furnace and
residential evaporator coil. This media air cleaner
can be mounted in any position in the return air duct.
Typically, the media air cleaner is mounted next to
the furnace blower compartment.

The media air cleaner cabinet is designed to be
installed in the return air duct. Do not mount the
media air cleaner cabinet in the supply duct.

Install the media air cleaner cabinet in a manner

that spreads airow evenly across the lter media.

Gradual transitions are required if the duct is a
different size than the media air cleaner cabinet.
To prevent turbulence, the maximum amount of
expansion on each side of the transition is 20
degrees.

TechPure MAC Tip

Choose a mounting location that
is upstream of the furnace and/
or evaporator coil. This will keep
the furnace and/or evaporator coil
clean.

Secure angled bracket
front to back with 8x1/2
self-tapping screws.

Secure flat bracket to
bottom or back with 8x1/2
self-tapping screws.

TechPure Install Tip

When installing the TechPure

media air cleaner with a humidier,

choose a mounting location that
will not allow the water mist to

come in contact with the lter

media.

Turning vanes are required if the duct turns sharply
just before attaching to the media air cleaner cabinet.
For example, turning vanes would be required if
there is an abrupt 90 degree elbow in the duct

directly next to the media air lter cabinet.

Install the media air cleaner cabinet in an area that
allows for at least 27" of clearance in front of the

cabinet door for easy replacement of the lter media.

Installation (continued)

2. Fasten the media cabinet to the furnace

Carefully create or use opening in the furnace or air

handler to match the lter media cabinet opening.

Place enclosed gasket material on the side of the air
cleaner that joins up with furnace or air handler. You
can attach the media cleaner cabinet directly to the

furnace or air handler, or t a starting collar in the

furnace opening. Drill holes and secure the cabinet
to the furnace with sheet metal screws. (Rivets or
slip joints are also suitable.)

3. Fasten media cabinet to the return duct

Secure the cabinet in place by using locking pliers.
Drill holes and secure the cabinet to the furnace with
sheet metal screws. (Rivets or slip joints are also
suitable.)

INSTALLATION

Secure flat bracket front
to back with 8x1/2 self­tapping screws.

4. Seal joints to prevent leaks
Ensure all joints are sealed.

Energy Star Home Certication

If installing the media air cleaner into an application
that is going to have the ducts leakage tested
for compliance with 2011 Energy Star Home

Certication, Energy Efcient Mortgage (EEM),

or Energy Improvement Mortgage (EMI) rating
requirements, then cut the provided roll of gasket

material to length and apply to the inner door anges

that meet up with the front access panel of the media
air cleaner to reduce the air leakage between the
door and the air cleaner.

More information about the Energy Star Home

Certication, EEM, and EMI requirements can be

found at http://www.texenergyaudit.org/facts.htm

Apply gasket material to
inner door flanges that
meet up with the front
access panel of the media
air cleaner.

Secure flat bracket front
to back with 8x1/2 self­tapping screws.

Installing the Filter media

The arrow on the lter media must point in the
direction of the air ow. If the media cabinet is

installed in the return air side of the duct work,
the arrow will typically point toward the blower
compartment.

FINAL CHECKS AND CONTACT INFO

Replacement Schedule

It is very important for optimal heating and cooling system efciency to replace the lter media

as recommended by your heating and cooling technician. The climate in which you live and
the particulate count in your indoor environment will be considered when your heating and
cooling technician personalizes a replacement schedule for your particular application. In many

climates, it is best to replace the lter at least before the heating season and before the cooling
season. The lter should always be replaced at least once a year in all circumstances.

Final Checks

Check installation:

1. TechPure air cleaner cabinet is installed securely on the return side of the system.

2. The arrow on the lter media points in the direction of the air ow.

3. If used, turning vanes and transitions are installed properly.

4. All joints in ductwork and between TechPure air cleaner and furnace/air handler are properly
sealed to prevent leaks.

5. Blower compartment is cleaned and the original lter has been removed.

6. Use enclosed cleaning cloth to wipe down access door.
