TABLE 1
INTRODUCTION
WARNING
Installation of this appliance must be made in accordance with the written instructions provided in this manual. No agent,
representative or employee of Suburban or other person has the authority to change, modify or waive any provision of the
instructions contained in this manual.
This manual is intended to familiarize the installer, serviceman and user with the installation, operation and maintenance of the heating
and cooling unit.
The unit is designed for a wall thickness of 1” minimum to 14-1/2” maximum.
NOTE:
Maximum wall thickness cannot exceed 12-5/8” if
rear gas hook-up is to be used. The wall sleeves must be installed as illustrated in Figures 5 or 6 so that the unit chassis when slid into
the sleeve is vented to the outside atmosphere.
Do not install in an alcove or recess.
Special sleeve and grille applications must be brought to the attention of Suburban Applied Products as they may impair the operation of
the unit.
IMPORTANT: Installation of the rear grille must be made prior to installing the chassis as it secures from inside the wall sleeve.
In the U.S.A.,
this appliance must be installed in accordance with local codes and regulations. In the absence of local codes and
regulations, installation must comply with the latest edition of:
1.
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
2.
National Electrical Code NFPA 70.
FOR REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATIONS IN COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, SEE PAGE

.
In Canada,
the installation must be in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the current CANI-B149 Installation
Code.
1.
When choosing a location for the sleeve, remember that the unit chassis must be vented to the outside atmosphere, therefore,
the sleeve must be mounted in the outside wall of the room. A location should be selected with consideration for circulation of
discharge (room) air. Generally, the location which provides the most effective circulation is midway along the wall of the room the
unit is to serve and away from a stairwell or other openings. Do not locate sleeve behind a door or at a point where a door, if left
open, would tend to obstruct the unit when installed into the sleeve.
2.
In choosing a location for the sleeve, one must consider the minimum operation clearances as specified in Table 1. These
clearances assure adequate accessibility for servicing and proper operation of the unit and therefore, must be maintained.
3.
The wall sleeve may be installed directly on finished floor as illustrated in Figure 2, however, considerations should be given to
the location of gas lines and electrical service. NOTE: If mounted on top of floor, the gas connection should be made from rear
of unit. For the best finished results, Suburban suggests the wall sleeve be mounted a minimum of 3-1/2” off of the finished floor,
as illustrated in Figure 3. This allows sufficient space for the gas and electrical connections to be made below the wall case. An
accessory base panel, Suburban Kit #520873, may then be attached to the cabinet front to conceal these service connections.
NOTE
: This base panel is non-loading bearing.
4.
When installing below a window, the installer should consider the possibility of curtains interfering with discharge air and/or
accessory air discharge package and take steps to eliminate these restrictions.
