Indoor unit installation  

1. Wall Bracket Mounting

A.  There are two tabs on the back of the 

indoor unit that hold the wall bracket onto 

the unit. Press them down with a flat head 

screwdriver to release the wall bracket from 

the back of the unit.

B. Mount the wall bracket flush on structural parts 

(studs) of the wall with proper unit clearances 

in consideration. (Fig. 1 and Fig. 9)

 

NOTE:

 Any space between the unit and the 

wall may cause noise or vibration.

C. Screw the wall bracket onto the wall with 

type “A” self-tapping screws. If the wall 

is made of brick, concrete or the like, drill 

1/4” (5mm) diameter pilot holes in the wall. 

Use anchors in conjunction with mounting 

screws. 

NOTE

:

• Drill holes in the wall according to the stud 

locations and corresponding mounting points 

on the actual wall bracket that comes with your 

unit. Wall brackets may vary by model and 

specifications are subject to change.

• It is important to use all screws provided to 

seure the wall bracket to the wall.

2. Create Opening for refrigerant  and 

condensate lines

A. Determine hole position  according to the 

wall bracket that comes with your unit, the 

unit’s required clearances (Fig. 1) and which 

direction (left/right) the lines will be routed 

from the back of your unit (Fig. 14). Drill 

2.5”(65mm) hole angled downward (approx. 

45°) toward the outdoors. (Fig. 11).

 

NOTE:

 Ensure that neither studs nor plumbing 

are located directly behine the propsed hole 

location.

B. Always use a conduit to route the piping 

though the hole in the wall. Properly seal 

the hole after routing the pipes through to 

prevent debris, insects, or small animals 

from entering.

3. Condensate Drainage

A. Run the drain hose sloping downward. Do not 

install the drain hose as illustrated in Fig.12.

B. When extending the drain hose, with locally 

purchased hose, insulate the connection 

with armaflex or similar pipe insulation 

material. (Fig. 13)
