    INSTALLATION UNITROL MODEL 8400, 8401, 8406, 8450, 8451, 8456 THIS CHILLER IS DESIGNED FOR INSIDE INSTALLATION. ONLY CHILLERS PURCHASED WITH THE –OS (OUTSIDE) KIT CAN BE INSTALLED OUTSIDE IN AREAS WHERE THE AIR TEMPERATURE CAN FALL BELOW 45ºF, AND SUCH INSTALLATION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
  • Page 10 INSTALLATION UNITROL MODEL 8400, 8401, 8406, 8450, 8451, 8456 Install the chillers in a location that will keep the air intake (back of chiller with air filter) and air exhaust (front of chiller with expanded metal plate) at least 36” from the nearest wall. This is required to allow maximum air movement over the condenser coil.
