INSTALLATION
NOTE: Not all screw holes will be used.
Cut Inlet Air Opening and Drill Mounting Holes
1. If heater is installed, turn OFF gas and electric power and disconnect any return air ductwork.
⚠ WARNING ⚠
Cut edges of metal cabinets are sharp.
2. Locate four embosses (see Figure 4) in metal panel where filter cabinet is to connect to heater. Embosses are
corner indicators for inlet air opening.

⚠ DANGER ⚠
When cutting the inlet air opening for options CW13,CW14,CW15, and CW16,bottom filter cabinets,
provide adequate support for the unit.
NOTE: When cutting the opening in the bottom of the unit, the unit will have to be tipped. Provide
adequate support for the unit during this process. If the installation includes an optional cooling
coil and/or a discharge plenum, cut inlet air opening before adding these accessories.
3. Carefully cut straight lines between embosses to create inlet opening using tin snips or aviation shears.
NOTE: Mounting hole dimensions for options CW8, CW9, and CW10 are different for the door and
heater ends of the filter cabinet. Mounting holes are not required for options CW13, CW14, CW15,
and CW16, bottom filter cabinets with bottom duct openings.
4. For option CW4, CW5, CW6, CW7, CW8, CW9, CW10, CW11, or CW12, mark and drill four 1/8-inch holes above
inlet opening as shown in Figure 5.
