Unit Location And Clearances - Wolf Steel Condo Pack Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

4.2

UNIT LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DETAIL ALL OF
CONSTRUCTION PARAMETERS THAT COULD BE
ENCOUNTERED, THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES
AND PRECAUTIONS ARE RECOMMENDED:
• MASONRY WALLS MUST HAVE A LINTEL TO
SUPPORT THE WALL.
• DURING THE WALL SLEEVE ASSEMBLY PAY
ATTENTION THAT THE SIDE PANEL FLANGES AND
THE BASE PANEL DRAIN HOLES ARE ON THE
SAME SIDE OF WALL SLEEVE, SEE FIG 4.2.
To minimize the effect of interaction between multiple units in a building there are some general location
considerations that need to be taken into account.
The installer must verify that these conditions have been met before installing the unit. Installation of units
in locations that do not follow these rules may lead to abnormal operation and premature failure. The use of
these general rules may differ depending on each individual application. Please contact the manufacturer or
your dealer for alternatives and application assistance.
The general location considerations are:
• Each wall with Condo Pack unit installed should be at least 2ft away (for
every floor) from the opposite building wall facing the unit. If facing wall
also has a Condo Pack unit installed, those two walls should be at least 4ft
apart� See "Minimum Distance to the Opposite Wall " Table 1 below.
• A six story building with six Condo Pack units installed in a vertical array,
should be at least 12ft away from the opposite building wall and at least 24ft
away if the opposite building wall also contains Condo Pack units.
• Buildings taller than six stories will have the same distance parameters as six-story buildings.
• If three or more adjacent walls form an air shaft with Condo Pack units facing each
other in each wall, the distance between opposite walls should be increased by 20%.

• At least 32" of unobstructed space should be provided in front of the indoor
side, whether enclosed or not, in order to change filters, for unit inspection
and to permit removal of the cooling module should repair be required.
• Do not install directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring.
The grille side of the unit should protrude minimum 1/2" but no more than 1" (maximum) from
the face of the building and should not be obstructed by foreign objects. Refer to FIG. 4.2.2.
• If the unit is installed in an outside wall of a storage garage, it must be
located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. This unit must
be installed so that no electrical components are exposed to water.
