Installation
 •  Also avoid locations beneath windows or be-
tween structures.
 •  Optional condenser coil protection should be used 
for seashore locations or other harsh environ-
ments.
 •  The unit should be installed on a roof that is structur-
ally strong enough to support the weight of the unit 
with a minimum of defl ection. It is recommended 
that the unit(s) be installed not more than 15 feet 
from a main support beam to provide proper 
structural support and to minimize the transmis-
sion of sound and vibration. Ideally, the center of 
gravity should be located over a structural support 
or building column.
 •  Location of unit(s) should also be away from 
building fl ue stacks or exhaust ventilators to 
prevent possible reintroduction of contaminated 
air through the outside air intakes.
 •  Be sure the supporting structures will not obstruct 
the duct, gas or wiring connections.
LOCATION
Of the many factors that can effect the location of 
equipment, some of the most important to consider are 
Structural, Acoustical and Service clearances. Proper 
attention should be made at the design stage to ensure 
proper structural support. In cases where equipment is 
being replaced, be aware of building design to insure 
support is adequate for the application.
The next most important consideration in applying roof 
top equipment is that of sound from the equipment. 
Special care should be made to keep the roof top unit 
away from sound sensitive areas such as conference 
rooms, auditoriums and executive offi ces and any other 
room that may have potential for tenant occupancy. 
Possible locations could be above hallways, mechanical 
or utility rooms.
Finally, service clearances should be maintained in 
rooftop design to insure safe access to the unit. Unit 
clearances are designed so that technicians have enough 
space between units, building walls, and edges of 
building to gain access safely. In cases where space is 
limited, please call your local York representative for 
additional information.
The clearances shown are to provide 
adequate condenser airfl ow and ser-
vice access to inside the unit.  Addi-
tional clearance should be considered 
for component replacement such as 
compressors, evaporator coils, and 
supply or exhaust fans.
While it is a common practice to op-
erate the fan as soon as possible (air 
movement during construction) on the 
job site, the incomplete ductwork and 
missing diffuser grilles will greatly 
reduce air resistance and will allow 
the fan to operate beyond design pa-
rameters.  This practice may result in 
water carry over and fl ooding of the 
unit.  Also, the supply fan motor may 
overamp and become damaged.
FIG. 2-1 – UNIT CLEARANCES
LD13267
NOTES:
 1.  10' clearance minimal over the top of the condensing unit.
 2.  Only one adjacent wall can exceed unit height.
 3.  12' clearance required to adjacent units.
 4.  8' service access recommended on one side.
 5.  Economizer and exhaust hoods, where applicable, are folded 
inside unit for shipment.
 6.  Dim. is to outside of lifting lugs.
