Table of Contents

The standard wall sleeve will accommodate the maximum wall

thickness described in Table 1, page 11. For thicker walls,

wall sleeve extensions are available from your local distribu-

tor. Air splitters will be included in the wall sleeve extension as

shown in Figure A.

Note: When installing a new chassis into an existing

wall sleeve with an extension, it will be necessary to

relocate the two air splitters to match the dimen-

sions shown in Figure A.

Installation

Wall sleeve extensions are shipped in a separate carton.

Install the wall sleeve extension as follows:

Place a bead of caulk around the perimeter of the wall

sleeve and another bead around the mating side of the

wall sleeve extension so that the joint is watertight. Be

sure to use a resilient caulking, such as silicone.

Assemble the wall sleeve extension to the wall sleeve

using fasteners by others. Make certain the caulking does

not block the weep holes.

Attach indoor drain kit (if used) according to the instruc-

tions on page 7. Outdoor drain kits are not designed to

be used with sleeve extensions.

Louver Frame

Louver frames should be used for panel wall and thin wall

applications for positive anchoring to the wall. Recess the wall

sleeve so that the louver is flush with the outside of the build-

ing (if outdoor drain kits are being used, keep sleeve flush

with louver frame outer flange). Place louver frame around

sleeve as shown in Figure B. Drill holes and attach to sides

and top only.

CAUTION

Do not drill holes in the bottom of the wall sleeve as it

may cause leakage.

Anchoring

Anchor the wall sleeve in the opening as shown in Figure C.
