Hardware List
General Instructions
If you are replacing an existing unit, remove the air conditioner and the wall sleeve according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
For new installs, ensure the wall is properly framed to support the weight and dimensions of the wall
sleeve and air conditioner. Consult a licensed contractor as needed.
Prepare and install the new wall sleeve according to the instructions below.
The wall sleeve must be fastened securely before installing the air conditioner unit.
The wall sleeve should be installed a minimum of 4” from any heating source (i.e. radiator, baseboard
heater, etc.)
It is important that you use a high grade sealant / caulking product to seal around the wall sleeve once
it has been fastened properly to prevent air and water infiltration.
PLEASE CONSULT WITH A LICENSED CONTRACTOR FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS RELATED TO THE PROPER WALL FRAMING REQUIREMENTS FOR
YOUR WALL SLEEVE AND THROUGH THE WALL AIR CONDITIONER.

Assemble the Wall Sleeve
1. Use four (4) screws to fasten the side panels to the bottom panel as shown below.
2. Fasten the top panel with four (4) screws as shown below.
Important: This wall sleeve is intended for use with a through the wall style air conditioning unit only
and cannot be used with a window mount style air conditioner. Use of a window style air conditioner
(side vented) inside of a wall sleeve designed for a through the wall style air conditioner (rear
vented) will result in performance issues and may result in unit failure.
Note: The arrows on the bottom panel point to the interior side of the wall sleeve.
