should be drilled through the holes in the sleeve with
the sleeve level and 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 fitting has been
checked out, the sleeve should be removed from the
wall.
With the sleeve removed, a 1/4" bead of sealant must
be applied to the flanges that contact the outside wall
(see Figure 2).
The sleeve must be installed back in the wall making
sure that the predrilled holes in the wall line up with
the holes in the mounting flanges of the sleeve. Check
to make sure that there is enough sealant between
the wall and the flanges to make the joint watertight.
Additional sealant must be applied as required. The

sleeve must be anchored to the wall. All four mounting
flanges must be fastened with two fasteners each to
the outside wall. The gaps between the side, top and
bottom flanges must be sealed to the wall.
On the inside of the building, the gaps between the
sleeve and the opening must be filled with insulation.
This will help insulate the sleeve and prevent
infiltration of any unwanted outdoor air (see Figure 4).
There are two brackets supplied with the sleeve for
attachment to the unit. Position these brackets to
the sleeve and attach with three screws per side. Roll
unit up to sleeve making sure the cabinet rear is tight
against the gasket on the sleeve flange to provide an
air tight seal. Drill 1/8" diameter holes through the
brackets into the cabinet side and attach with screws
provided. See Figure 5 for more details.
