Everything in the Quest 70 Hanging Kit, Item by Item
The Quest 70 hanging kit carries five distinct parts. Two brackets, four eyebolts, four cables with carabiners, and a quarter inch clip on 8 ft of nylon rope. That rope and clip are the two pieces most often left off a parts list. They are what the kit uses for the drain line rather than for the unit itself. The brackets are the part worth understanding. They are L-shaped and measure 16.50 by 2.19 by 1.00 in, and they are cut to hug the body of the machine rather than to bolt through it. Two of them take the load and the four cables carry it up to the eyebolts. That is a four point suspension, which is what keeps a dehumidifier level when it is running. Level matters more on a dehumidifier than on a fan. The condensate has to reach the drain. A unit hanging a few degrees out holds water in the pan and eventually pushes it somewhere else. Set the four cables to equal length before the machine goes up, not after.
What to Check Before Fitting a Dehumidifier Ceiling Mount
Fitment first, because this kit is model specific in a way the part name does not say. It fits the Quest 70, part 4033750, and the Quest 70 50-Hz build, part 4033810, and nothing else. The larger Quest units take a different overhead bracket under its own part number. Matching by pint rating alone will put the wrong kit in the crate. Second, the structure above the machine. The ceiling has to be verified against the operating weight of the machine. Eyebolts go into structure, never into drywall or a suspended grid, so find the joists first. Third on the list comes the drain. A hanging unit has to gravity-feed its condensate somewhere, and that line needs a continuous fall from the machine to wherever it goes. Work that path out before the eyebolts go in, because moving a drain afterwards means moving the machine.
Key Features

- Two L-shaped brackets: 16.50 by 2.19 by 1.00 in, cut to hug the body of the unit.
- Four cables with carabiners: A four point suspension, which is what holds the unit level.
- Four eyebolts: Into structure rather than drywall or a suspended ceiling grid.
- Clip and 8 ft of nylon rope: Included in the kit, and the piece most often overlooked.
- Quest 70 only: Parts 4033750 and 4033810; larger units take a different bracket.
