Ecosmart Mounting
The ecosmart can be installed in upflow, downflow and left or right horizontal applications.
Install the ecosmart with the door in place to make sure the cabinet remains square. Flip the
unit for downflow applications so that the top of the unit is now the bottom. No modification is
required for any configuration.
The ecosmart can be suspended from floor joists, rafters or concrete using rods, pipe, angle
supports or straps. Units must be hung level to ensure quiet operation.
CAUTION - Use any of the existing screw holes in the cabinet when using straps. If
the existing screw is too short for securing a mounting strap, a longer screw should
be used provided care is taken not to damage any internal components. Product
warranty does not cover any damage or claims resulting from damage from longer
screws or from the unit being improperly suspended.
The cabinet is designed so that the return air can be located on either side of the cabinet, or
from the bottom of the cabinet. Position a filter rack so that the filter is readily accessible. A
filter and filter rack are not included. Sides are marked for a standard 16 x 20 in filter rack.
WARNING - Special care should be taken in the vicinity of the coil to avoid
puncture. Screw into opening flange instead of top of cabinet when fastening the
supply air duct.
Plumbing
Install a sediment faucet or ball valve for use as a drain/purge valve. The drain valve must be
located downstream of the pump and check valve, and upstream of the isolation valve (if
isolation valve is present). With this arrangement, any air trapped in the system can easily be
flushed out following the instructions in the Start-up & Troubleshooting sections.
Isolation valves are recommended ease of servicing.
When the space heating loop connections are made to the domestic water connections:
The heating loop connections should be positioned horizontally in a vertical section of
the domestic water line for both inlet and outlet. Refer to the piping schematic for
details.
Connect the heating loop to the domestic water connections as close to the water
heater as possible
