General Mounting / Anchoring

General Mounting
Securely attach the Hydro Kit to a concrete pad, base rails, or other mounting platform anchored to the building structure.
Avoid placing the unit in a low lying area where water may accumulate. Refer to dimensional drawing on page 15 and on page 16 of this
manual, and follow the applicable local code for clearance, mounting, anchor, and vibration attenuation requirements.
Place rubber isolation pads between the mounting feet and the base. Secure the feet to the base using washers and nuts. Fix the unit tightly
with bolts as shown below in Figure 9.
• When building a base support for the Hydro Kit, ensure that the floor surface / location has enough strength to support the weight of the unit,
enough space for pipes and wiring, the condensate drain connection, and the floor drain.
• Install the Hydro Kit to a base and in a manner approved by the structural engineer to minimize damage to the unit in the event of an earth-
quake. Any deficiency in installation may cause unit to fall, resulting in physical injury or death.
Anchoring the Hydro Kit Unit
Figure 9 shows the proper location and mounting of the anchor bolts for the Hydro Kit.

Guidelines
• Securely fasten all four (4) corners to the supporting base.
• If not otherwise directed by the structural engineer or local codes,
Use a 7/16 inch or 1/2 inch diameter J-bolt. Use a hexagon nut with
a spring washer.
• Include anti-vibration material chosen by the acoustics engineer.
• Include enough space for refrigerant piping and electrical wiring
when installing through the bottom of the unit.
• Use an H-beam, concrete support, or other acceptable support
structure designed by a structural engineer.
• All referenced materials are to be field-supplied. Images are not to
scale, are for reference only, and are not intended to be used for design
purposes.
• Always install per mounting instruction and detail provided by the
design or structural engineer.
