Preliminary Plumbing Standard (Front Install) The image to the right shows the installation closet for the standard (Front Install) configuration (where the wall plenum is opposite the service access door). A drainage system is required, and should provide a “P-trap” to prevent undesirable waste gas from entering into the residential area.
Wall Plenum Installation Parts included in Plenum kit: Outside Plenum Half (Part A) Inside Plenum Half (Part B) Field Supplied Parts: Sealant, attachment screws, and flashing Flashing are field supplied. Silicone sealant is recommended. Sealant VPAWP1-8 adjusts for walls up to 4”- 8” thick. VPAWP1-14 adjusts for walls up to 8”...

Wall Plenum Installation Step 1 - Outside Wall Plenum Half Note: The wall plenum is not designed to carry any structural load. A load bearing header must be built above the rough opening. 1) Prepare the rough opening. The rough opening should be lined with metal or wood. The plenum will warp if sealed against concrete or brick.

Wall Plenum Installation Step 2 - Inside Wall Plenum Half Caulk all 8 Flange Corners and Unused Holes Detail A 1) Apply sealant to all 4 flange corners and unused holes. See Detail A. 2) Flash the inside of the rough opening to ensure the proper fit and level. 3) Insert inside plenum half (Part B) into Outside Plenum Half (Part A).

Wall Plenum Installation Step 3 - Inside Wall Plenum (cont.) Detail B Note: Do not place any screws, fasteners, or penetrating holes through the top or bottom of the plenum assembly. 1) Drill pilot holes on the interior of the inside plenum half (Part B) as show in Detail B. Pilot holes should be located approximately 4”...
VPDP2 Drain Kit Installation Note: VRP07 models require installation of the VPDP2 drain kit. Please reference the VPDP2 installation manual for more detailed instructions. Cut away gasket from the of the base of the inside wall plenum half the length of the drain kit beginning from the bottom right corner.

Final Wall Plenum and Architectural Louver Installation Louver NOTE: Ensure that the weather strip is undamaged and provides a continuous seal around the inner perimeter of the plenum. Apply silicone grease or other non-petroleum-based lubricants to the weather strip to enhance the sealing capability of the weather strip and ease installation of the air conditioner chassis.
Unit Installation Unit Placement Prior to Installation ( Front-Install Configuration) All louver, plenum, rough plumbing, VPDP2 installation, and rough wiring steps must be complete prior to final installation of the air conditioning chassis.

Final Unit Installation Overview Unit Final Placement - Front Install Ensure that power if off at the junction box feeding power to the air conditioner until all process steps are completed. Move the unit from the shipping base and onto the installation site. Insert the unit’s rear extension into the wall plenum.
Ductwork Installation Supply air duct connection is the responsibility of the installer and should be installed per industry best practices. Sheet metal or duct board may be used for the transition from the discharge to 10” or larger diameter flexible ducting. Avoid sharp transitions in the ductwork to ensure optimal indoor blower performance.
Wall Controller Installation Proper Wiring of VRP unit to Wall Controller Use shielded and stranded CAT 6 cable with twisted pairs to wire the wall controller. Use the wire colors with the corresponding terminals on the wall controller to the VRP unit as shown in the table below. Table shows which wire pairs go with which screw terminal.
