Wall opening requirement
Before installing the unit, check the wall opening to be sure the
cabinet/wall sleeve will slide into the opening unobstructed. For
masonry walls, a lintel must be used to provide support over each
1
opening. The rough opening should measure 16
/4" x 42 1/4"
(413mm x 1023mm) wide (see note 3, Figure 2). When no
subbase is used, the opening should be a minimum of 3"
(76mm) off the floor. This distance is available in 3" (76mm)
or 4" (102mm) heights. For units with hydronic heat, the
subbase is 8
1
/4" (210mm). Each subbase has leveling legs
providing for up to 1" (25mm) additional height.
Attaching cabinet wall sleeve to subbase
After the electrical or hydronic subbase has been set in place
and the rough-in for plumbing and/or electrical is complete, the
cabinet/wall sleeve can be installed.
1. Install cabinet/wall sleeve as described on pages 2 through 4.
2. Attach the subbase to the cabinet/wall sleeve using the clips
provided.
3. Secure the two sections by installing the clip screws supplied
with the hardware bag.

Wall sleeve installation — frame and brick
A heavy-gauge, corrosion resistant cabinet/wall sleeve is
provided for each unit. The cabinet/wall sleeve is either shipped
in a separate carton, shipped in a multipack of 15 or in a single
carton with the heating/cooling chassis.
The standard cabinet/wall sleeve is designed to be easily
installed in a variety of wall constructions. Note: The center of grav-

Wall slee ve installation–
panel wall construction
For panel wall and thin wall construction, it is recommended that
a louver frame be used.
Panel wall and thin w all construction varies only slightly from
frame and brick construction. Note: The center of gravity is 10"
(260mm) from the rear face of the wall sleeve. The wall sleeve
must be inserted into the wall at least 10" (260mm) or other
support must be employed. Suppor t can be from a factory
supplied subbase or from other field supplied materials.
Installation for this application is as follows:
1. Clean the opening of all debris that may interfere with
installation.
2. If the unit is to be supplied with a subbase, install subbase
before installing cabinet/wall sleeve (see IM 419 or IM 420).
3. If the optional drain kit is to be employed, see IM 430-3.
4. Be sure the cabinet/wall sleeve is mechanically attached to
the wall and caulked to assure a proper seat. It is
recommended that the louver frame be used for this purpose.
5. Recess the wall sleeve so that the louver is flush with the
exterior of the building.
6. Level cabinet/wall sleeve in both directions and secure by
anchoring with appropriate fasteners or drill additional holes
as required to secure firmly . Caution:
base of the cabinet/wall sleeve.
secure wall sleeve to subbase with clips provided.
7. Caulk the cabinet/wall sleev e to the w all opening on both the
inside and outside perimeter. Be careful not to plug the weep
holes. Caulking should be resilient, nonhardening type such
as silicone.

Wall sleeve installation– thick wall construction
Installation of cabinet/wall sleeves f or thick w alls requires special
consideration. Table 1 should be used to determine the
maximum wall thickness allowed for the standard cabinet/wall
sleeve. For thicker walls, cabinet/wall sleeve extensions are
available from your representative.
Wall sleeve installation in thick walls is similar to frame and
brick installation. Install as follows:
1. Clean the opening of all debris that may interfere with
installation.
2. If the unit is to be supplied with a subbase, install subbase
before installing cabinet/wall sleeve (see IM 419 or IM 420).
3. If the optional drain kit is to be employed (heat pump only),
see IM 430-3.
4. If wall thickness exceeds dimensions shown in Table 1, a
cabinet/wall sleeve extension must be used. Once the
extension is attached to the cabinet/wall sleeve, place a thin
pad of soft mortar on the bottom of the opening and slide in
the wall sleev e/extension assembly. Be sure to recess the wall
sleeve enough to accommodate outside louver. This recess

chitectural louvers. Louver should be flush to exterior surface
when completed. Note: The wall sleeve is not intended to replace the lintel.
5. Level cabinet/wall sleeve in both directions and secure by
anchoring with appropriate fasteners or drill additional holes
as required to secure firmly . Caution:
base of the cabinet/wall sleeve.
secure wall sleeve to subbase with clips provided.
6. Caulk the cabinet/wall sleev e to the w all opening on both the
inside and outside perimeter. Be careful not to plug the weep
holes. Caulking should be resilient, nonhardening type such
as silicone.
