Through-The-Wall Installation - GE AJCS 06 LZ Owner's Manual

Through-the-Wall Installation

1
Preparation of the Opening in the Wall
Make certain a wall receptacle is available close to
the hole location or make arrangements to install
a receptacle.
2
Support Requirements for the Air Conditioner
The air conditioner wall case may be installed
flush with the inside wall or flush with the outside
wall.
The finished sides of the opening should be
structural wall members.
Lintel —Use a lintel in brick veneer and brick and
block types of wall to support the bricks or blocks
above the opening. Do not allow the wall case to
be used in lieu of a lintel.
Flashing —Install flashing (drip rail) as shown to
prevent water from dripping inside the wall and
down the outside of the building.
3
Mortar and Caulking
Mortar between the case and the brick all around
the case may be undercut at about 45° for
improved caulking.
The cord length for the 115-volt models is 72² to
the right and 47² to the left. For the 230/208-volt
models the cord length is 65² to the right and 39²
to the left.
