Wall Sleeve Installation Instructions (
cont.
)
block Wall Application
The wall sleeve will need to be installed so that the sleeve
projects into the room a minimum of 1.25 inches and a
maximum of 11.5 inches.
The wall sleeve will need to be installed so that the sleeve
projects beyond the exterior wall a minimum of 0.25
inches.
When installed in the appropriate wall sleeve, this appli-
ance has zero clearance to combustible construction.
The minimum required clearance distance between the
wall sleeve and finished floor is 3.0 inches. Wall sleeve
installations that project into the room 4.5” or more
require the use of Leveling Legs or other means of sup-
porting the wall sleeve.
Block Wall Installation
Secure the wall sleeve to the surrounding studs by
drilling two 1/8 inch diameter holes through both sides
approximately in the center of studs using 3⁄4 inch pan
head type screws supplied. Shim if necessary to prevent
the sleeve from bowing. Make sure the wall sleeve is level
from side-to-side and sloped 1⁄4 inch from front-to-rear.
DO NOT DRILL HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE
SLEEVE, WATER DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
Seal around the outside portion of the wall sleeve using
weatherproof caulking to form a seal against rain, snow,
and air leakage.
CAUTION
Do not slope the wall sleeve toward the room.
