INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE UNIT

When installing a Q-TEC unit near an interior wall on
the left side, a minimum of 8" is required but 12" is
preferred.
When installing a Q-TEC unit near an interior wall
on the right side, a minimum of 18" is required as
additional space is required to connect the side drain.
If the rear condensate drain kit QCDS48 is used the
minimum can be reduced to 8".
This clearance is required to allow for the attachment of
the unit to the sleeve and side trim pieces to the wall.
This unit is to be secured to the wall sleeve with
mounting brackets provided. The unit itself, the supply
duct and the free blow plenum are suitable of "0"
clearance to combustible material.
Following are the steps for mounting the Q-TEC.
For reference see Figure 13A for external mounting
bracket or 13B for internal bolt secured bracket
(recommended).
1. Attach mounting brackets to the wall sleeve with
screws provided. Either use external mounting
bracket (Fig. 13A) or internal bolt bracket (Fig. 13B).
2. Position the unit in front of the sleeve with the
condenser section toward the sleeve.
