•
The wall opening must be the correct size. See
Figure 1 for wall sleeve dimensions and Figure 3 for
minimum wall opening size.
•
The wall sleeve needs to be installed with minimum
clearances to the floor and adjacent walls. Minimum
projections of the sleeve into and out of the room
will also have to be met. See Figures 2 and 4 as
well as Table 1 for details.
•
If installed in a concrete or masonry wall, a lintel
must be provided in the wall opening for support.
Do
not use the wall sleeve as a lintel.
See Figure 5
for a typical lintel construction.
•
When installed in the opening, the wall sleeve must
be horizontally level from side to side and pitched
(one quarter bubble in the sight glass) to the
outside. DO NOT SLOPE THE WALL SLEEVE
TOWARD THE ROOM.
•
The installer must determine and supply the
mounting bolts and/or screws to attach the wall
sleeve to the sides of the wall opening. Make sure
the wall opening is adequate for strong support.
•
The installer must provide adequate sealing and
insulation around the sleeve after it is installed. See
Figure 6 for one of many types of constructions.
•
If used, a 208/230-volt wall receptacle must be
located within 58 inches of the lower right sleeve
corner. Extension cords must not be used with the
unit. See the note on Figure 1.
Note:
Additional extension kits are not allowed beyond
the 24” wall sleeve depth.
