A/C Condenser Installation
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : See "Condenser Installation Standards" in Section 5 of the Thermo King TriPac Installation Standards
Guide (TK 56498). THESE STANDARDS MUST BE FOLLOWED!
Locate an area on the exterior of the sleeper to install the condenser that does not interfere with the operation of
existing truck components. If possible mount the condenser below the bunk level. This allows easier access to four 3/8"
bolts with large fender washers inside without disturbing interior panels.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : Before drilling any holes, check for interference with internal wires, supports or interior panels. Avoid
drilling into the truck's interior support members as this could void the tractor's OEM warranty.
Special Tools Required
Tape Measure
Level
Drill Motor
3/8" Drill Bit
Caulk Gun and RTV Silicone Sealant
The condenser housing and coil assembly can be also installed with the hose fittings facing towards the roadside
( ( D D E E T T A A I I L L A A ) ) if needed. When doing so, the actual condenser coil must be removed from the housing and rotated so the
#8 fitting is on top by:
a. Rotating the complete condenser housing and coil assembly so the hose fittings are facing towards the
roadside.
b. Removing the condenser coil from the housing, and rotating it so the #8 fitting is positioned at the top, then
install it back into the condenser housing and tighten the hardware securely.
1. Measure and mark the exterior center line of the sleeper.
2. Center and level the condenser onto the sleeper with the #8 fitting located on top. Mark the mounting holes;
typically one in each corner. Drill four 3/8" mounting holes.
3. Apply a bead of RTV silicone along the entire condenser mounting flanges and around each of the four mounting
holes.
4. Install the condenser with 3/8" stainless mounting bolts and large fender washers from the inside, and 3/8" washers
and locking nuts on the outside. Tighten hardware securely.
