proximity to public access areas.

Anchor Clamp Installation
Installation of the anchor clamps is recommended in
all installations. Installation of the anchor clamps is
required in Florida (see Florida Building Code 301.13).
Anchor clamps hold the heat pump to the equipment
pad in order to withstand high winds caused during
extreme weather (i.e. hurricanes).
To install the anchor clamps:
1. Be sure the heat pump is in its permanent location
on the equipment pad.
2. Place the clamps at the base of the heat pump in the
four (4) locations, shown in the image to the right.
Note: Bolts and bolt anchors are not included
with the heat pump. The installer must provide
1/4" x 1-3/8" stainless steel anchor bolts and the
appropriate size concrete anchor to mount the clamp
to the equipment pad. Be sure to check local codes.
3. Fit the hook of each clamp over the lip on the base
panel of the heat pump. The hook should fit between
the lip of the base panel and the evaporator coil
guard.
