Indoor air ow may be determined by measuring the external static pressure (ESP) of the duct system using an inclined
manometer or magnahelic gauge and consulting the above chart to derive actual air ow. Under no circumstances
should the small chassis Vert-I-Pak equipment be operated at an external static pressure in excess of 0.3” W.C. on the
VHA09 & VHA12 and 0.4”W.C. on the VHA18 & VHA24. Operation of the Vert-I-Pak under these conditions will result in
inadequate air ow, leading to poor performance and/or premature component failure.
Control
For LOW speed only operation, connect the fan output terminal from the thermostat to the GL terminal of the electronic
control.
For HIGH speed only operation, connect the fan output terminal from the thermostat to the GH terminal of the electronic
control.
For thermostats with two-speed capability, connect the LOW speed output to the GL terminal and the HIGH speed output
to the GH terminal.
NOTE: Any non-Friedrich thermostat of low voltage device being powered by the Vert-I-Pak will need to be reviewed and
approved for use.

VPAK is designed to install through an exterior wall with a plenum (VPAWP-8, VPAWP-14) and a Friedrich external louver .
If the Friedrich designed plenum and louver combinations are not used, the selections and design must be evaluated by Friedrich to ensure the
total pressure drop does not exceed the maximum allowable limits.

Application and Accessories (All models)
• The use of a Friedrich wall plenum is required for instal-
lation. Plenum opening is
3
/
4
" above the oor (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/VPRG4R).
• 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 WRT2 wireless digital thermostat, RT7
wired digital thermostat, RT7P wired programmable ther-
mostat, or EMRT2/EMWRT2 Energy Management Stats 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 below.
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 easy 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/VPRG4R).
• 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 and 12,000, Btu models
• Duct outlet designed for external static pressures up to .4"
on 18,000 and 24,000, Btu models
• Wall plenum allows chassis to be inserted 2
3
/
8
" into ple-
num, thereby minimizing closet dimensions.
• Quick connect drain coupling ships standard to make
installation and removal easier.
Application and Accessories (18K & 24K Models)
• 18K & 24K utilize a drain pan (VPDP2) that can be installed
prior to chassis for simplied installation and removal.

shipped with a protective weatherboard for use prior to nal
installation of the louver and chassis.
The architectural louver (required factory accessory) shall
be shipped separately and fabricated from extruded anodized
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" or 18" x 20" lter afxed directly on to the unit chassis.
