Roof Curb Mounting

Roof curb details including duct location dimensions,
are available on Roof Curb Assembly Instructions, Part
Number 472119.
Rooftop units require curbs to be mounted first. The
duct connections must be located so they will be clear
of structural members of the building.
1. Factory Supplied Roof Curbs: Roof curbs are
Model GKD. The GKD ships in a knockdown kit
(includes duct adapter) and requires field assembly
(by others). Assembly instructions are included with
the GKD curbs.
2. Install Curb: Locate curb over roof opening and
fasten in place. (Refer to Recommended Roof
Openings). Check that the diagonal dimensions
are within ±1/8 inch of each other and adjust as
necessary. For proper unit operation, it is important
that the installation be level. Shim as required
to level.
3. Install Ductwork: Installation of all ducts should
be done in accordance with SMACNA and AMCA
guidelines. Duct adapter provided to support ducts
prior to setting the unit.
4. Install Insulation: One-inch deep insulation
pans were provided with the curb assembly. Install
insulation prior to setting the unit. Insulation is not
included from the factory.
5. Set the Unit: Lift unit to a point directly above the
curb and duct openings. Guide unit while lowering
to align with duct openings. Roof curbs fit inside the
unit base. Make sure the unit is properly seated on
the curb and is level.
6. Fastening: The installer is responsible for ensuring
that the unit fastening methods are sufficient
to account for the weight and size of these
additional modules.
