Installation of Anchor Clamps
In Florida, building codes require that the heat
pump be anchored to the equipment pad or platform
to withstand high wind pressures created during
hurricanes.
This heat pump was provided with anchor clamps
designed to hold the unit to the equipment pad in high
wind conditions. Installation of the anchor clamps is
recommended in all installations and are required in
Florida (reference Florida Building Code, Mechanical
Section 301.13).
To install the anchor clamps:
1. Be sure that the heat pump is in its permanent
location on the equipment pad.
2. Remove the anchor clamps from the installation
and instruction package.
NOTE Bolts and bolt anchors are not included with
the heat pump. Jandy recommends that a
3/16” x 1¾” long stainless steel Tapcon
®
type
concrete screw is used to mount the clamp
to the equipment pad. The Tapcon type
concrete screw meets Florida building code
requirements.
3. Place the clamps at the base of the heat pump in
the locations indicated in Figure 2.
4. Fit the hook of each clamp over the lip on the
base panel of the heat pump. The hook should
fi t between the lip of the base panel and the
evaporator coil guard (see Figure 3).
5. Mark the position of the hole in each clamp on the
equipment pad.

Attach anchor clamps to
base of heat pump where
indicated by the arrows.
6. Drill a hole in the cement using a masonry drill
bit, with a diameter as determined by the concrete
anchor, at each of the marks on the equipment pad.
The hole should be approximately 1-1/2” deep.
7. Insert a bolt anchor into each of the holes. Be sure
the anchors are set completely into the holes.
8. Position the anchor clamps so that the holes in the
clamps are over the bolt anchors. Be sure that the
clamp hooks are over the lip of the heat pump base
(see Figure 3).
9. Insert an anchor bolt through each clamp into the
anchor and tighten to secure the clamp and heat
pump to the equipment pad.

3.1 Plumbing
Layout
Figure 4 illustrates the standard plumbing layout
with a single heat pump unit. Following the diagram
from right to left, the plumbing sequence is as follows:
Pool > Pool Pump > Filter > Heat Pump > Check
Valve > Chemical Loop > Chlorinator > Pool
NOTE For normal installations, do not install a shutoff
valve or any kind of variable restriction in the
water piping between the heat pump outlet and
the pool/spa.
