NOTE- Optional Side Return Air Filter Kits are not for use with RAB Return Air Base.
1 Both the unit return air opening and the base return air opening must be covered by a single plenum or IAQ cabinet.
Minimum unit side return air opening dimensions for units requiring 1800 cfm or more of air (W x H): 23 x 11 in. (584 x 279 ram).
The opening can be cut as needed to accommodate plenum or IAQ cabinet while maintaining dimensions shown.
Side return air openings must be cut in the field. There are cutting guides stenciled on the cabinet for the side return
air opening. The size of the opening must not extend beyond the markings on the furnace cabinet..
2 To minimize pressure drop, the largest opening height possible (up to 14 inches) is preferred.
NOTE- Optional Side Return Air Filter Kits are not for use with RAB Return Air Base.
