THROUGH-THE-WALL INSTALLATION
4. INSTALL THE CASE IN THE WALL.
•
Place the case in the wall opening.
•
Secure the case sides and top to the wooden
frame.
NOTE: Drill holes in the case sides and top, if
necessary, for proper installation. If the frame is
oversized, use shims to prevent cabinet distortion.
•
Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of the
case to prevent moisture from getting through
to the interior wall. Use of flashing will further
prevent moisture from getting into interior walls.

roomside projection of the case.
