process is the same for right and left return configurations. See Fig. 5 and 6.

NOTE: It is not possible to convert return air between left or right return models in the field due to refrigerant piping changes.

Preparation — The unit should be on the ground in a well lit area for conversion. Hung units should be taken down to ground level before converting.

Step 3 — Locate Unit — The following guidelines should be considered when choosing a location for a WSHP:

• Units are for indoor use only.
• Locate in areas where ambient temperatures are between
	40 F and 100 F and relative humidity is no greater than
	75%.
•	Provide sufficient space for water, electrical and duct
	connections.
•	Locate unit in an area that allows easy access and
	removal of filter and access panels.
•	Allow enough space for service personnel to perform
	maintenance.
• Return air must be able to freely enter the space if unit
	needs to be installed in a confined area such as a closet.
• Install the unit on a piece of rubber, neoprene or other
	mounting pad material for sound isolation. The pad
	should be at least 3/ in. [10 mm] to	1/	2	in. [13 mm] in
	8
	thickness. Extend the pad beyond all four edges of the
	unit.
•	Provide adequate clearance for filter replacement and
	drain pan cleaning. Do not block filter access with pip-
	ing, conduit or other materials. Refer to Fig. 1 and 3 for
	dimensional data.
• Provide access for fan and fan motor maintenance and
	for servicing the compressor and coils without removing
	the unit.
• Provide an unobstructed path to the unit within the closet
	or mechanical room. Space should be sufficient to allow
	removal of the unit, if necessary.
• In limited side access installations, pre-removal of the
	control box side mounting screws will allow control box
	removal for future servicing.
• Provide access to water valves and fittings and screw-
	driver access to the unit side panels, discharge collar and
	all electrical connections.
	NOTE: Correct placement of the horizontal unit can play an
	important part in minimizing sound problems. Since duct-
	work is normally applied to these units, the unit can be

placed so that the principal sound emission is outside the oc-

cupied space in sound-critical applications. A fire damper

may be required by the local code if a fire wall is penetrated.
