INSTALLATION OF A CARRIER WALL
SLEEVE USING A NON--CARRIER
GRILLE
This application has become more common due to
pre--manufactured windows with built--in grilles or
renovations where a Carrier sleeve is used with an
existing non--Carrier grille.
Use of a Carrier wall sleeve with a non--Carrier grille
requires installation of an Accessory Baffle Kit (see
Fig. 8), which ensures a good seal between the unit
and exterior grille to prevent air recirculation. Air
recirculation is a large contributor to performance
loss and premature damage to major components.
