Step 1
Determine the orientation of the door.
The VPRG4 Kit comes with two mounting hinges.
One mounts to the left side of the opening and
locates the return air openings at the lower portion
of the door (View A).
The other mounts the hinge to the right side of the
opening and locates the return air openings at the
upper portion of the door (View B).
This provides an option for the direction that the
door will open. More importantly it can aid in sound
attenuation by locating the return air openings away
from the evaporator opening on the unit.
NOTE: For maximum sound attentuation it is
recommended that the left hand bracket (View A)
be used for VEA/VHA24 models and the right hand
bracket (View B) be used for VEA/VHA09, 12 and
18 models.
Follow STEPS 2A through 6A (next page) for left
side mounting (View A)
Follow STEPS 2B through 6B (next page) for right
side mounting (View B).
