Step 3: Attach to the Chassis. Slide the chassis part 
way into the cabinet. Match the WATER IN hose to the 
WATER IN tube on the chassis and the WATER OUT hose 
to the WATER OUT tube. Tighten the swivel connection 
keeping the copper tube parallel to the sides of the 
chassis, then tighten the hose to the copper making 
sure the hose hangs straight without twisting or turning 
(Figure 23).
Note: The rule of thumb for tightening the copper 
union and the hose union is hand tight plus 1/4 turn.

This! Not This!
Check all connections for tightness including the ones 
above the installed valves (valve union). The chassis 
should slide into the cabinet without restriction (Figure 24).

Chassis and Hose Kit Installation
Install the Chassis as follows:
1.  Verify that the shut-off/balancing valve in the return 
line and the shut-off valve in the supply line are 
closed.
2.  Flush system following the procedure in Preparation 
for Start-up Section of this manual.
3.  When the system is clean and fl ushed, open the unit 
water valves and check piping for leaks.
4.  A fl exible electrical cable terminating in quick-
connect plugs is provided in chassis. 
5.  Complete electrical connections between cabinet 
and chassis by mating the quick-connect plugs on 
the chassis cable to the plugs located in the bottom 
surface of the blower deck, directly under the 
control box.
6.  Install the air fi lter in the chassis by inserting the 
bottom edge of the fi lter into the bottom fi lter 
bracket. Push fi lter down until the top can be 
pushed into place, then latch the fi lter in place with 
the two top latches. 
 WARNING!

hose itself be gripped or twisted by hand, pliers, channel 
locks or any other tool. Leakage or bursting may occur! 
Always use a back-up wrench when tightening the hose.
