Suspended Cabinet Installation

NOTE: Ensure there is adequate room to remove the dehumidifier access panels. See Minimum Clearance Requirements chart in “Location Requirements.”

The suspending installation uses field-fabricated ³⁄₈"-16 all- thread rod passing through the top panel and connected to the dehumidifier base.

The ³⁄₈"-16 all-thread rod should be attached to the appropriate lengths of angle iron or equivalent structural steel which is attached to building structure capable of supporting the weight of the dehumidifier.

If the dehumidifier is not suspended by ³⁄₈"-16 all-thread rod, use the grommet plugs to cover the holes in the grommets.
