Installation (Applicable to all Models) 2.0 INSTALLATION (APPLICABLE TO ALL MODELS) 2.1 Room Preparation The room should be well insulated and must have a sealed vapor barrier. The vapor barrier in the ceiling can be a polyethylene film type. Use a rubber or plastic base paint on concrete walls and floors. Doors should not be undercut or have grilles in them. Outside (or fresh) air should be kept to an absolute minimum. Outside air adds to the heating, cooling, humidifying and dehumidifying l

Installation (Applicable to all Models) 2.5 Piping Considerations All piping below the elevated floor must be located so that it offers the least resistance to air flow. Careful planning of the piping layout under the raised floor is required to prevent the air flow from being blocked. When installing piping on the subfloor, it is recommended that the pipes be mounted in a horizontal plane rather than stacked one above the other. Whenever possible, the pipes should be run parallel to the air
