Roof Curb Mounting

Roof curb details, including duct locations and
dimensions, are to be found in the roof curb assembly
instructions.
Rooftop units require curbs to be mounted first. The
duct connections must be located so they will be clear
of structural members of the building.
1. Factory-Supplied Roof Curbs
Roof curbs are shipped in a knockdown kit (includes
duct adapters) and require field assembly (by others)
on all housing sizes except 35, which are shipped
assembled. Assembly instructions are included with
the curb kit.
2. Install Curb
Locate curb over roof opening and fasten in place.
Check that the diagonal dimensions are within ± 1/8
inch of each other and adjust as necessary. For
proper coil drainage and unit operation, it is important
that the installation be level. Shim the curb as
required to level. Install gasketing on top surface of
curb (provided by others).
3. Install Ductwork
Installation of all ducts should be done in accordance
with SMACNA and AMCA guidelines. Duct adapters
are provided to support ducts prior to setting the unit.
4. Set the Unit
Lift unit to a point directly above the curb and duct
openings. Guide unit while lowering to align with duct
openings. Roof curbs fit inside the unit base. Make
sure the unit is properly seated on the curb and level.
5. Install Vestibule
If unit was ordered with a vestibule and it has not yet
been attached to the unit, caulk and attach the
vestibule at this time.
