Friedrich VPDP1 User manual

STEP 1: CUT OPENING IN GASKET
Remove an 8" portion of the weather seal gasket from the bottom left surface of the plenum.
To remove: Cut the gasket in the lower left corner of the plenum. Then make a second cut 8" from the left
corner. The gasket should peel away from the plenum leaving a clean mounting surface (See detail A).
STEP 2: SEAL AND SET PAN
Prior to placing the drain pan into the opening run a 1/4" bead of sealant the entire width of the removed
gasket. The secondary overow lip must extend into the plenum to prevent water leaks. The pan should
be mounted against the 3/4" ange of the plenum, refer to view A.

STEP 3: INSTALL DRAIN PAN
Attach the drain pan to the closet oor with the appropriate eld supplied hardware.
IMPORTANT - To prevent water leaks use only the factory supplied mounting holes. NEVER make penetrations
in the drain pan itself.
STEP 4: INSTALL DRAIN PLUG
The drain pan comes with both left and right-hand drain connections locations. Determine which of the two
connections will be used to drain the condensate. Then, with the factory supplied drain plug, plug the unused
opening.
NOTE - proper sealant must be applied to the connection to prevent leaks.

IMPORTANT - The drain pan and line must be kept free from debris. Prior to installing the chassis ensure that there are
no blockages in the drain pan or line.
