STEP 1 Case preparation
1. The RAK6052 lateral duct adapter is used to
modify the Zoneline (AZ22 and AZ32 series) so
that discharged air may be directed into a
secondary room. After the RAK6052 lateral duct
adapter is installed on the Zoneline chassis and
case, a 44″ long lateral duct (RAK601) may be
attached to either the right or left end of the
RAK6052 lateral duct adapter.
Note: Minimum Clearance
of 10≤ recommended
above RAK6052 for
proper air discharge.

2. The RAB71 or RAB77 case should be installed in
the wall according to instructions packed with
the case, but using the following recommended
dimensions:
• Projection of case into room—1″ min. This is
critical to allow clearance for mounting plates
and screws. If less than 1″ of the case projects
into the room, it will be necessary to allow for
the additional width in the wall opening for
the case.
• Projection of case to outside—1/4″ min.
• Either side of case to adjacent wall—2″ min.
The case must be level, not tilted towards
outside or inside. Be sure that drapes,
window sill overhang, etc. will not interfere
with air discharge from the completed lateral
duct adapter.
• Non-obstructed wall surface above top of
lateral duct adapter—10″ min.

STEP 1 (continued)
3. Drill two 7/32″ dia. holes into each end of the
case for attachment of the mounting plates.
A template is provided in these instructions.
Mounting plates should be mounted before
installing the case in the wall opening.
4. Attach the mounting plates to the case with four
unpainted slotted screws provided. Secure on the
inside of the case with speed clips provided.
5. If necessary, transfer end cap to the opposite end
of the adapter. The end cap is attached to the end
NOT used for attaching extension duct RAK601.
6. Separate the transition duct from the lateral duct
adapter by removing the two thumb screws.
Carefully slide the transition duct forward and off
of the lateral duct adapter.

STEP 2 Adjust the discharge grille or damper
1. Check louvered discharge grille section. Louvers
should point away from the wall and toward the
room. If necessary, remove this grille section and
turn 180°; reassemble.
2. The air discharge damper on top of the lateral
duct adapter can be changed for primary and
secondary room air distribution.
NOTE:
The discharge damper is factory installed to
provide approximately 35% air discharge into the
primary room (room in which the unit is installed)
and 65% into the secondary (adjacent) room. To
increase the amount of air discharged into the
primary room, the damper may be modified by
removing the discharge grille on top of the adapter
and cutting off the scored section of damper to
provide approximately a 50/50 split. Completely
removing the discharge damper will result in
approximately 75% air discharge into the primary
room and 25% into the secondary room.
3. Attach the duct adapter to the case mounting
plates with the four painted 5/16″ hex head
screws provided.
