The sub- base shall have side panels adjustable from a minimum of

2 3/8" to a maximum of 13 3/4" to enclose the area under the wall case.

Weather Resistance. Complete unit including outside louver shall be submitted to an independent agency for weather resistance and water infiltration tests.

Air infiltration test to be conducted in accordance with ASTM E283-91. With static air pressure differential of 1.57 lb./ft.2 (.3" H2O) equivalent to 25 mph wind, allowable air infiltration shall not exceed 7 ft.3/min.

Water infiltration test to be conducted in accordance with ASTM E331-86 with static air pressure differential of 10.0 lb./ft2 (1.93" water) equivalent to 63 mph wind, 5.0 gal./ft.2 (8" rain/ft.2/hr.) for 15 minutes and there shall be no leakage into the room.

Approvals. Units shall be certified under the ARI and cUL certification program and listed by UL.

Service. Submit complete information with bid covering service availability, to whom service on units will be assigned, complete address and phone number, including phone number of emergency service personnel.

Start-Up, Adjust, Demonstrate. Contractor shall be responsible for the initial starting of units, adjustments thereto, etc., to place the units in required operating condition. Contractor shall demonstrate to the owner, or his representative, the operation of units for both summer and winter functions.

Warranty. The warranty shall be a full one year parts and labor on entire unit plus an additional full four years parts and labor for the sealed refrigerating system, including service call for diagnosis, and transportation to and from service shop, if necessary, at no charge to customer. The warranty shall also include a limited 2nd thru 5th year parts only warranty for fan motors, switches, thermostat, heater, heater protectors, compressor overload, solenoids, circuit boards, auxiliary controls, thermistors, frost controls, ICR pump, capacitors, varistors, and indoor blower bearing.

Installation Responsibility. Units shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and the manufacturer shall not be responsible for unit failure as a result of improper installation, or unit performance when installed with accessories not approved by the manufacturer.
