OUTDOOR GRILLE SELECTION
IMPORTANT: If you wish to use a grille not made
by Carrier for your Carrier unit(s), contact
Carrier Application Engineering.
The following guidelines must be followed in the
initial selection of any alternate exterior grille or
louver:
1. The louver must have a minimum of 65% free
area. Free area is the minimum area of the
opening in an air inlet or outlet in which air can
pass. Free Area (%) = X/Y.
2. The louver should be attached to the wall sleeve
in a manner that will prevent recirculation of
condenser discharge air into the inlet. In most
applications, baffles, splitters, and/or gasket
will be required between the chassis tube end
sheets and the
recirculation.
The above criteria must be followed, since a louver
that is restrictive or allows re- -circulation will result
in a reduction of the unit's capacity and efficiency
and will ultimately shorten the compressor life.
Hardwire Kit

required when NEC (National Electrical Code) or
local codes restrict the use of power cord and plug
connections. The hardwire kit easily mounts on the
front right side of the unit and comes with 36 inches
of flexible steel conduit.
