Thru-The-Wall Installation

NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to

instal/ation, 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 7"

(178 ram) 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 (25 ram). Select a wall 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 oudets, or where another outlet can be installed.

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

cooled.

5. allows unblocked airflow from rear sides and

end (outside) of installed air conditioner.

BPrepare Wall

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

the room, End wall stud nearest the center of

area where air conditioner will be installed (by sounding wall, or by magnetically Ending

nails).

Carefully measure and cut an opening with the following dimensions. See FIGS. 1 and 2.

WIDTH "X" = 24-1/4" plus twice the

thickness of flaming material used.

HEIGHT "Y" = 15-1/4" plus twice the thickness of flaming material used.

UP TO

Build a wooden sleeve with the INSIDE dimensions of 24ol/4" in width and 15-1/4" in

height. Frame depth should be the same as

wall thickness. Fill in the space from the

opening to the studs with wood spacers, as

shown.

5. Nail frame to spacers with front flush with

arywaU.

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

(8.6 cm)

NOTE: If wall thickness is 7" (178 mm) or more, add aluminum flashing over bottom of flame

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

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

under 5" thick.

Refer to Step 4 of W'mdow Mounting for assembly of support braekets. A wooden strip

nailed to the outside wall should be used in con iunction with sill support angle brackets.

FIG. 2

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 fx-ame.

3. Position cabinet to achieve proper slope for

water removal. (See FIG. 1 below.)

._Su'pport bracket

5. Screw or nail cabinet to wooden frame using

shims if frame is oversized, to eliminate distortion. Remember to maintain proper slope as described in Step 3.

rVoodenstrip

4. Secure bottom rail to wood frame with two large wood screws I" (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 war may be done. You can buy wood

fi'om 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 raft seal location.

Masonry Construction

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

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

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 (51 minx 102 ram) 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 wal! opening.) This way gives very good

louver clearance on either side of cabinet.

3. 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.

Install exterior cabinet support brackets as shown in Step 2 of Thru-the-WaU Installation.

Caulk or flash ff 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.
