Fig. 2.8 THROUGH- WALL INSTALLATION 

 

  The cooling unit shall be mounted near the ceiling with equal distance from 

each side of the room. 

  Cut a rectangular opening at the wine room wall as illustrated. The 

dimensions of the opening shall be 1/4” larger than the width and height of the 
cooling unit.  

  If top exhaust installation, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the 

room to the length and width of the top exhaust. 

  Construct a shelf as shown. The shelf must be capable of supporting the 

weight of the cooling unit and preventing it from moving.  

  Place the cooling unit on the shelf with the back of the unit flush with the 

outside of the wall.  

  Seal the clearance between the cooling unit and opening with a high quality 

weather stripping, polyurethane spray foam, or foam tape. Cover the seal with 
molding and attach the molding to the wall not the unit. 

  If top exhaust installation, place another gaskets along the top exhaust at the 

top of the cooling unit. 

  Install a wall grille on the room exterior wall. 

  Plug the unit into a properly grounded and dedicated outlet of adequate 

capacity.
