Ducts through the walls must be insulated and all joints
taped or sealed to prevent air or moisture entering the
wall cavity.
CAUTION
Some installations may not require any return
air duct. A metallic return air grille is required
with installations not requiring a return air duct.
The spacing between louvers on the grille shall
not be larger than 5/8 inches.
Any grille that meets the 5/8 inch louver criteria may be
used. It is recommended that Bard Return Air Grille Kit
RG-2 through RG-5 or RFG-2 through RFG-5 be
installed when no return duct is used. Contact
distributor or factory for ordering information. If using
a return air filter grille, filters must be of sufficient size
to allow a maximum velocity of 400 fpm.
NOTE: If no return air duct is used, applicable
installation codes may limit this cabinet to
installation only in a single story structure.
FILTERS
A 1-inch throwaway filter is supplied with each unit.
The filter slides into position making it easy to service.
This filter can be serviced from the outside by removing
the service door. A 1-inch washable filter and 2-inch
pleated filter are also available as optional accessories.
The internal filter brackets are adjustable to
accommodate the 2-inch filter by bending the metal tabs
holding the 1-inch filter down. There are two tabs on
each side of the filter.
FRESH AIR INTAKE
All units are built with fresh air inlet slots punched in
the service panel.
If the unit is equipped with the fresh air damper
assembly, the assembly is shipped already attached to
the unit. The damper blade is locked in the closed
position. To allow the damper to operate, the maximum
and minimum blade position stops must be installed.
See Figure 2.

All capacity, efficiency and cost of operation
information as required for Department of Energy
"Energyguide" Fact Sheets is based upon the fresh air
blank-off plate in place and is recommended for
maximum energy efficiency.
The blank-off plate is available upon request from the
factory and is installed in place of the fresh air damper
shipped with each unit.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
A plastic drain hose extends from the drain pan at the
top of the unit down to the unit base. There are
openings in the unit base for the drain hose to pass
through. In the event the drain hose is connected to a
drain system of some type, it must be an open or vented
type system to assure proper drainage.
