General Foundation / Mounting Requirements
Securely attach the Hydro Kit to a concrete pad, base rails, H-beam, mounting platform anchored to the building structure, or other accept-
able support structure designed by a structural engineer. Refer to dimensional drawing in this manual, and follow the applicable local codes
for clearance, mounting, anchor, and vibration attenuation requirements. Noise and vibration could transfer to the floor or walls, so install
rubber anti-vibration isolation pads between the mounting feet and the base chosen by the acoustics engineer. The base pad must be more
than 8 inches (200 mm). Secure the feet to the base using washers and nuts.
• Ensure that the floor / chosen location has enough strength to support the weight of the Hydro Kit. If it does not have sufficient strength, the
Hydro Kit will fall and cause physical injury or death.
• Ensure the Hydro Kit is firmly attached to the foundation. Any deficiency in installation will cause unit to fall, resulting in physical injury or
death.
CAUTION
Avoid placing the unit in a low lying area where water will accumulate and freeze on sidewalks or driveways.. Water could freeze, causing an
unsafe condition.
• Ensure that the floor / chosen location has enough strength to support the weight of the Hydro Kit. If it does not have sufficient strength, the
Hydro Kit will fall and cause damage to the unit.
• Ensure that the floor / chosen location has enough space for pipes and wiring, the condensate drain connection, and the floor drain. Im-
proper installation can result in unit malfunction.
• Ensure the Hydro Kit is firmly attached to the foundation. Any deficiency in installation will cause unit to fall, resulting in damage to the unit.
Anchoring the Hydro Kit Unit
The figure below shows the proper location and mounting of the anchor bolts for the Hydro Kit.
• Securely fasten the Hydro Kit to the supporting base.
• If not otherwise directed by the structural engineer or local codes, Use 7/16 inch or 1/2 inch diameter J-bolts. Use a hexagon nut with a
spring washer.
• Include enough space for refrigerant piping and electrical wiring when installing through the bottom of the unit.
