Optional Trim Kit Installation (42Vbd/Vfd Units) - Carrier 42C Series Installation Instructions Manual

Optional Trim Kit Installation (42VBD/VFD Units)

An optional trim kit can be applied to partially recessed
42VBD, VFD units in the wall. The trim kit can also be applied to
cover rough opening to eliminate the need for finish work such as
carpentry, drywall, painting, etc.
Reference unit submittal drawings for unit sizes. Trim kits have
1 in. flanges.
There are 3 mounting brackets (two sides, one top) provided in the
trim kit for floor mount units. There are 4 mounting brackets (two
sides, top, bottom) in the trim kit for wall mount units. There are
no mounting holes provided on the unit so the brackets can be po-
sitioned at whatever depths is required for recess. Use self tapping
screws to secure the brackets to the unit. See Fig. 72.

The extension pieces should be assembled to align with the di-
mensions of the back of the floor unit, utilizing field-provided
screws. See Fig. 73.
Once the extension has been assembled, survey the back of the
floor unit to ensure there is no loose debris or obstructions. Secure
the rear extension, flush to the back of the floor unit, utilizing the
pre-cut screw holes on the flange of the rear extension and field-
provided screws. See Fig. 74.
