Figure 1 - Dimensions
Roof Curbs for arrangements D
and E include an evaporative
cooler platform. See GRAA-IN-2.
Roof Curbs ship knocked down for
ease of handling and storage. The
field assembly and mounting of the
curb to the roof is the responsibility
of the installer. All curbs ship
complete with pre-assembled side
and end rails, cross member
supports, ductwork connector
brackets, hardware, optional
insulation and gasketing. See
Figures 3, 17, and 18 for a
complete parts list for your curb.
Check to see that all components
are included. Refer to Figures 3, 4,
5, 6, 17, and 18 to see if all other
field supplied parts are also on
hand.
Provide a suitable opening, or two
openings, in the roof as suggested
per Figures 2 & 4. These return
and/or supply air ductwork openings have been calculated to include a one inch clearance on
each side of the ductwork. The installer may determine other opening(s) to accept return and/or
supply air ducts to suit particular
needs.

To avoid any property damage
or personal injury, it is the
installer’s responsibility to make
sure that the installation will not
impair the function of this curb,
or the unit to be installed.
All curbs must be mounted on level
areas. The roof must be suitable
to support the weight of both the
curb and the unit to be mounted.
The enclosed area of the roof curb
must comply to required
clearances to combustible
materials. If the roof construction
is made of combustible materials,
the enclosed roof curb area must
meet the following requirements:
1. Ventilate this area.
2. Leave area open (however, this
may elevate higher sound
levels).
3. Cover this area with
non-combustible material,
which utilizes an “R” value of
5.0 minimum.

Position and assemble the curb,
referring to Figures 1 thru 8, 17 and
18 and the following procedure:
1. All hardware used for these
assembly procedures is
included with your curb, and
should be used. Do not tighten
any hardware until the curb is
completely level and square,
and installed in a suitable
position on the roof, with proper
alignment to the roof/unit
opening(s).
2. Position and install the end and
side curb rail sub-assemblies,
aligning around the roof
opening location(s).
3. Position and install the inner
cross brace(s) and ductwork
brackets as shown.
4. Secure the roof curb to the roof
decking.
5. Install the field supplied
flashing/ materials.
6. Apply the gasketing (included
with the kit) on the top flanges/
surfaces of the curb as shown.
WARNING!
To avoid any property damage
or personal injury, it is the
installer’s responsibility that the
roof curb and unit must be
completely sealed, preventing
