If indoor unit refrigerant piping is going to exit from the rear:
1. It is recommended that the refrigerant pipe flare connectors extend through the wall
to the outside. In some situations field-fabricated piping extensions will be required to
extend the indoor unit refrigerant flare connections to the outside of the wall.
2. Use mounting bracket diagrams and dimensions to find and mark the proper location
for the wall hole.
If refrigerant piping is going through the right or left side of front panel:
1. Use a small saw blade to carefully cut a U-shaped hole in the side of the front panel.
The hole must be large enough for refrigerant pipes, condensate hose and wires.
2. Determine and mark proper location for wall hole.
3. Use table below to determine recommended wall hole size for your unit size.
4. Cut the wall hole with a 5° to 10°
downward slant to the outdoors.
5. Insert a wall hole sleeve into hole to
prevent damage to refrigerant pipes,
insulation, condensate drain hose
and wiring
.
6. Seal around wall hole sleeve with
caulk or foam to weatherproof.
