Roof Run-Off; Installation Of Anchor Clamps - Jandy JRT Serie Manual De Instalación Y Operación

Jandy ® JRT Series Heat Pumps

Roof Run-off

Make sure the heat pump is not located where large
amounts of water may run-off from a roof into the unit.
Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will allow massive
amounts of rain water, mixed with debris from the roof
to be forced through the unit. A gutter or down spout
may be needed to protect the heat pump.

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. Other
jurisdictions may have similar requirements. Please
check your local codes for further details.
This heat pump is 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. Place the clamps at the base of the heat pump in
the locations indicated in Figure 2.
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 (see Figure 3).
4. Mark the position of the hole in each clamp on the
equipment pad.
5. 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 1-3/4" deep.
6. Insert a bolt anchor into each of the holes. Be sure
the anchors are set completely into the holes.
7. 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).
8. Insert an anchor bolt through each clamp into the
anchor and tighten to secure the clamp and heat
pump to the equipment pad.
