INSTALLATION THROUGH A WINDOW
OPENING
NOTE: Depending on the window sill height as
measured from the inside finished floor, a spacer may
be required under the unit wheels to insure the proper
relationship from the bottom of the sleeve and the
window sill. To determine the height of this spacer
measure the window sill height from the finished floor,
add 2.5" and subtract 32.75". Example: With a sill
height of 33", add 2.5" and subtract 32.75". This
equals a spacer height of 2.75". This spacer is to
continue across the front of the unit to seal up the gap
between the floor and the bottom trim piece. When
the unit is placed on these spacers the locking screws
must be driven back into the wheel to secure the unit's
position. Also, there are two brackets supplied with the
sleeve to secure the sleeve to the unit. See Figure 5
for the proper location.
The QWVS42, QWVS42-19 and QWVS42-H may be
used when the installation is through an existing
window opening.
A 2.5" spacer is to be placed on the window sill. This
spacer must be weather resistant and attached to
the window sill. See Figure 5 for the location of this
spacer.
The QWVS42, QWVS42-19 and QWVS42-H must
extend through the window opening on the inside wall
by 4" to allow clearance between the unit and the wall
for the water pipes.
The window opening can be framed to provide an
opening for the sleeve, 35" wide by 29.5" tall. The
height of the opening is measured from the top surface
of the 2.5" spacer. Once the opening is framed the
sheeting can be installed. The sheeting material must
not extend into the opening.
The sleeve should be test fit into the opening to make
sure of the dimensions. The sleeve must be inserted
into the opening from the outside of the building. The
bottom of the sleeve must be level from side-to-side,
and the sleeve must be square in the opening. A slope
is built into the bottom of the sleeve from the inside
to the outside. This will allow any water that gets into
the sleeve to drain out. Once the test fit is completed,
the sleeve must be removed from the opening and
1/4" bead of sealant must be applied to the mounting
flanges of the sleeve (see Figure 2).
The sleeve is then re-inserted into the prepared opening
from the outside of the building. All of the mounting
flanges must contact the exterior wall. Check to see
that there is enough sealant to make this joint water
tight. Additional sealant must be applied as necessary.
The sleeve must be centered in the opening, and the
bottom of the sleeve must be checked to make certain
that it is level from side-to-side. The bottom flange
should be secured to the wall by using two screws
through the holes in the bottom mounting flange of the
sleeve. The sleeve must be checked to make sure that
it is square in the opening.
Once the sleeve is square,
the side and top mounting flanges of the sleeve must
be secured to the wall with screws through the holes
in the flanges.* The gaps between the side, top and
bottom flanges must be filled with additional sealant.
There are two brackets supplied with the sleeve for
attachment to the unit. Position these brackets to the
sleeve and attach with three screws per side. Roll unit
up to sleeve making sure the rear of the cabinet is tight
against the gasket on the sleeve flange to provide an
air tight seal. Drill 1/8" diameter holes through the
brackets in to the cabinet side and attach with screws
provided. See Figure 5 for more detail.
* Model QWVS42-H is not secured to the wall by the
flanges. Instead it is secured along with the hurricane
grille through the sides of the sleeve per requirements.
