" for 24k Btu models. (VPAWP1-8 / VPAWP1-14).
• Return air is accommodated with a return air lter attached
to the unit or through the use of a return air lter grille.
(VPRG4).
• Exterior louvers are available in anodized aluminum (VPAL2)
or in custom painted colors (VPSC2).
• Unit is controlled by a remote wall-mounted thermostat.
Friedrich model WRT1 wireless digital thermostat or RT6
wired digital thermostat are recommended.
• Central desk control ready
Typical Closet Arrangement
Cutaway of a typical closet shown with Vert-I-Pak
®
chassis
installed in the wall sleeve. The unit has the thermostat, eld
wiring, internal drain and ex duct attached. VPRG4 return air
lter holder and access panel are shown to the right.
The closet access panel may be installed in the front (as
shown below) or to the left or right side of the unit. All three
installation options will allow access to the unit for removal
and replacement.
Application and Installation
Installation Guidelines
• Chassis is to be installed against an exterior wall. Wall
cutout dimensions will be 24 5/8" w x 30 7/8" h.
• Closet should allow for a minimum of three inches on three
sides of the unit for return air, drain connections and change
outs.
• Minimum recommended access door rough-in measure-
ments 27" wide by 55
3
/
4
" high (for VPRG4).
• Friedrich recommends the use of a platform between 24"
and 36" above the oor, for ease of installation and ser vice-
ability.
• Duct outlet designed for external static pressures up to .3"
on 9,000 – 18000 Btu models, and .4" on 24000 Btu models.
• Wall plenum allows chassis to be inserted 2
3
/
8
" into plenum,
thereby minimizing closet dimensions.
• Quick connect drain coupling ships standard to make instal-
lation and removal easier
Application and Accessories (Two-ton Models only)
• New design utilizes drain pan (VPDP1) that can be installed
prior to chassis for simplied installation and removal.
• Utilizes same wall plenum as other units to give consistent
exterior appearance. VEA/VHA24 plenum must be installed

with ARI Standard 390 for Single Packaged Vertical Air Condi-
tioners and Heat Pumps. Units shall be ETL listed and carry a
ETL label. All units shall be factory run-tested to check opera-
tion and be manufactured by Friedrich or equivalent.

aluminum with louvers in the horizontal plane.
The unit shall include vibration isolators mounted under the
chassis and a nonrigid plenum-to-chassis connection to isolate
vibrations to the building.
The unit shall have a plastic fan, fan shroud and drain pan and
aluminum outdoor coil endplates for corrosion protection and to
help prevent rust on the side of the building below the outdoor
louver.
The unit shall be shipped with return air lter brackets and a 14"
x 20" lter afxed directly on to the unit chassis. Optional return
air grilles and access panels shall be available as factory acces-
sories for installation in the wall or door of the mechanical closet.
CORROSION PROTECTION - The unit shall feature corrosion
-resistant materials and nish to help prevent deterioration.

panel shall be available to provide access to the unit and adequate
return air. The panel shall feature a lter holder to accept a eld
supplied 25” x 20” x 1” lter. Kit shall contain a hinge bracket for
mounting the door with the return air openings high or low on the
door for optimal sound attenuation. For 9,000 / 12,000 / 18,000
Btu models it is recommended to install the door with the hinge
on the right side and the return air openings high on the door. For
24,000 Btu models it is recommended to install the hinge on the
left with the openings low on the door.
