Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be
checked for external signs of shipping damage. If
damage is found, the receiving party must contact
the last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier's agent.

GENERAL

The QWVS42 Wall Sleeve is designed for use with QW
Series Water to Air Heat Pumps where vent options are
utilized. The QWVS42 is for use on installations where
wall thickness is 14" or less. The QWVS42-19 is for
use on installations where wall thickness is 16" or less.
The QWVS-H is for use with an outdoor louver grille
that meets hurricane impact requirements, and is for
use where wall thickness is 14" or less
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed
by trained service and installation technicians.
These instructions explain the recommended method to
install the wall sleeve.
These instructions and any instructions packaged with
any separate equipment required to make the entire
air conditioning system should be carefully read before
beginning the installation.
While these instructions are intended as a general
recommended guide, they do not supersede any
Manual 2100-383C

national and/or local codes in any way. Authorities
having jurisdiction should be consulted before the
installation is made.
INSTALLATION – WOOD FRAMED
WALLS
For wood frame construction walls, the dimensions of
the opening must be 29.5" tall by 35" wide. A 2 x 6
header will be required for the opening. The sides of
the opening must have trimmer studs to support the
header and to provide a structural member on which to
fasten the sleeve (see Figure 1). All of the dimensions
are referenced from the finished floor height.
Once the opening is framed, the sheeting can be
installed, the sheeting material must not extend into
the opening.
The sleeve should be test fit into the opening to make
sure of the dimensions. The sleeve must be inserted
into the opening from the outside of the building. The
bottom of the sleeve must be level from side-to-side,
and the sleeve must be square in the opening. A slope
is built into the bottom of the sleeve from the inside
to the outside. This will allow any water that gets into
the sleeve to drain out. Once the test fit is completed,
the sleeve must be removed from the opening, and a
1/4" bead of sealant must be applied to the mounting
flanges of the sleeve (see Figure 2).
