1.02 INSPECTION/UNPACKING/HANDLING
Trim strips are ordered to fill the gap between the Scholar 2.0 cabinet and the
finished inside surface of the wall, when the cabinet is offset from the wall.
Trim strips are 10 inches in depth and have a 1 inch 90° flange on one end to fit flush to the
finished inside wall. Trim strips can be used to accommodate cabinets with up to a 9 inch
offset from the wall.
Trim strips are packaged in corrugated marked on the outside with part number 03027 and
strapped to a skid for shipment to the job site. They are painted to match the cabinet color.
The finished painted surfaces have a protective white film on the surface to protect the
surfaces from damage. Leave the film on the painted surfaces until the strips have been
installed and construction work in the area is completed.
IMPORTANT
IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT, INSPECT THIS EQUIPMENT TO DETERMINE VISIBLE
AND CONCEALED DAMAGE. ALL DAMAGE MUST BE REPORTED TO THE FREIGHT
CARRIER WITHIN 15 DAYS, ON THE FREIGHT CARRIER’S FORM.
1.03 PREPARATION OF SCHOLAR 2.0 HEAT PUMP AND AIR CONDITIONER FOR TRIM
STRIP INSTALLATION
The Scholar 2.0 heat pump and air conditioner cabinet and plenum (as appropriate) must
be installed, with the floor fasteners in place and the outside louver
installed, to ensure the fixed location of the system prior to installation of the trim strips.
Check the cabinet for vertical plumb and parallelism to the inside of the
finished wall prior to installing the trim strips.
1.04 INSTALLATION OF TRIM STRIPS
Cut the trim strips to appropriate lengths to fill the gaps between the finished inside wall
and the cabinet sides and top. To reduce sound transmission through the trim strips, apply
acoustical insulation on the side of the strips that face the outdoor air box.
Debur all field cut or sawed metal edges.
IMPORTANT
CAREFULLY MARK, INDENT AND DRIVE SCREWS THROUGH THE TRIM STRIPS TO
AVOID DAMAGING THE PAINTED SURFACES.
Field supplied screws should be self tapping zinc coated sheet metal type, 1/2” long with
head color of satin aluminum, to match the cabinet finish.
