Thru-The-Wall Installation

NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to

installation, or a qualified carpenter.

Select Wall Location

This air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so it can be installed through an outside wall up to 12"

thick. IMPORTANT: Side louvers must never be blocked.

NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall

Installation are provided, except a wood frame, shims, and 10 wood screws (#10-1" long

minimum). Select a waR surface that:

1. does not support major structural loads such

as the frame construction at ends of windows, and under truss-bearing points, etc.

2. does not have plumbing or wiring inside.

3. is near existing electrical outlets, or where

another outlet can be installed.

4. faces, and is not blocked to the area to be

cooled.

5. aUows unblocked airflow from rear sides and

end (outside) of installed air conditioner.

Wall

1. Prepare war in frame construction (including brick and stucco veneer). Working from inside

the room, find war stud nearest the center of area where air condiu'oner will be installed (by

sounding wall, or by magnetically finding

nails).

2. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of center

stud.

3. Measure between inside edges of every other stud as shown in FIG. 1.

FIG. I

Carefully measure and cut an opening with the

following dimensions. See FIGS. 1 and 2.

WIDTH "X_' = 26-3/4" (67.9cm) plus twice the thickness of flaming material used.

HEIGHT 'Y' = 18-7/8" (47.9 cm) plus twice the thickness of framing material used.

FIG. 2

Build a wooden sleeve with the INSIDE dimensions of 26-3/4" (67.9 cm) in width

and 18-7/8" (47.9 cm) in height. Frame depth should be the same as wall thickness. Fill in

the space fi'om the opening to the studs with

wood spacers, as shown.

Nail frame to spacers with front flush with

drywall.

-NAIL SPACERS TO

(8.6cm) -*.

NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-1/2" or more, add aluminum flashing over bottom of frame opening

to assure no water can enter area between inner and outer wall.

FIG. 2

OlrrIONAL: Support brackets may be used. Installation brackets are recommended for walls

under 5" thick.

m Cabinet

1. Slide chassis from cabinet. Refer back to Step 1

of Window Mounting.

2. Place cabinet into opening with bottom rail

resting firmly on bottom board of wooden frame.

3. Position cabinet to achieve proper slope for

water removal. (See FIG. 1 below.)

FIG. I

3/4" PLUS

Refer to Step 4 of Window Mounting for

assembly of support brackets. A wooden strip nailed to the outside wall should be used in

angle brackets.

Screw or nail cabinet to wooden frame using

LEVEL

. Secure bottom raft to wood frame with two

large wood screws 1" (2.5 cm) long using the

two holes in the bottom of the channel resting on frame. (See FIG. 2 following.)

6. Install chassis into cabinet by following all steps in Step 8 of Window Mounting.

(continued)

OPTIONAL: Caulking and installation of trim on

interior wall may be done. You can buy wood from your local lumber or hardware supply. On the outside, caulk openings around top and sides

of cabinet, and all sides of wood sleeve to the opening.

NOTE: See Step 7, Item 3 of Window Mounting Instructions for bottom rail seal location.

Masonry Construction

1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar to the frame construction (refer to

Step 2 of Thru-the-Wall Installation for a wall thickness greater than 8-1/2').

2. Secure cabinet in place using masonry nails, or the right masonry anchor screws. (Another

way to do this is to build an in-between frame

of 2x4's as shown in the Step 2 Prepare Wall

illustrations--- but make it double framed on either side, and install between masonry wall

opening and cabinet. Frame must be securely anchored to masonry wall opening.) This way gives very good louver clearance on either side

of cabinet.

Install a lintel to support masonry wall above

cabinet. Existing holes in cabinet can be used

and/or additional holes can be drilled to fasten cabinet at various positions, Be sure that side louver clearance is in accordance with Step 1

above.

4. Install exterior cabinet support brackets as

shown in Step 2 of Thru-the-Wall Installation. Caulk or flash if needed, to provide a weather-

tight seal around top and sides of cabinet.

5. To complete installation, apply wood trim molding around room side projection of

cabinet.
