Installation Requirements

STEP 1
The WSE SLEEVE should be positioned so that the
DRAIN EXTENSION extends a minimum of 9/16"
beyond the OUTSIDE WALL. ( See Figure 5 )
The WSE SLEEVE must extend a minimum of 7/8"
STEP 2
beyond the INSIDE WALL.
STEP 3
The WSE SLEEVE must be installed level side to side.
The WSE SLEEVE must also be installed with a
STEP 4
downward tilt toward the outside of the building. If a
level is placed so that it rests on the FRONT and BACK
UNIT REST as shown in Figure 6, a properly installed
unit provides a 3/8" slope to the outside of the building

Sleeve Installation

STEP 1
After unpacking the WSE
remove the INDOOR WEATHER PANEL. Place
the WSE SLEEVE in the wall opening following the
instructions given in the INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS. Attach the SLEEVE to the INSIDE
WALL by driving two #12A x 2" screws in each side of
the SLEEVE. ( see Figure 5 ) Shim at the top of the
SLEEVE, midway between the sides. Drive one #12A
x 2" screw in the top of the SLEEVE. If the wall opening
is not framed with wood, use expansion anchor bolts
or molly (toggle) bolts (not provided).
STEP 2 Once the SLEEVE has been installed, check the LEVEL
again to be sure the 3/8" downward slope is
maintained.
NOTE: If necessary, apply shims below the chassis
and inside the sleeve FRONT
a 3/8" downward slope front to back.
STEP 3
Caulk the perimeter of the entire opening on the
inside and the outside between the SLEEVE and the
WALL.
3/8 SLOPE
STEP 4
The indoor weather panel removed in Step 1 above
must be remounted back in place if masonry work is
to be done and/or if the "WallMaster"chassis is to be
installed at a later date.

How to cover inner weather panel holes

Two beige plugs are included in the plastic bag
taped to the WallMaster chassis. These plugs may be
