Installation on fiber board duct will require additional means of support to carry the full weight of the unit and its water. Solutions are site-specific, but could include a floor stand, or alternatively a hanging bracket from the ceiling. The mounting plate screws should also be re-enforced on the front of the duct with a small metal plate, or oversized washers.
