The
air
conditioner
is installed
the
same
way
as
the
Wall
Installation
section
with
a few exceptions.
Follow
all local
and
national
building
codes.
The cabinet
can be secured
to the masonry
by using masonry
nail
or masonry
anchor screws.
Another
installation
technique
would
be to construct
a frame of
2 x 4s and install
the frame
between
the wall opening
and the
cabinet.
The frame must be securely
anchored
to the masonry
wall
opening.
Use a lintel to support
masonry
above wall opening.
Install exterior
cabinet
support brackets.
