PRE-INSTALLATION TIPS AND CONSIDERATION
MINIMUM OPERATIONAL CLEARANCES
The following minimum outside clearance from rear grille must be maintained:
Rear of unit to nearest obstruction - 36"
Side of unit to nearest obstruction - 0"
CAUTION: This appliance should not be installed on or near adjacent
walls with vinyl siding without first consulting with the manufacturer of
the siding or cutting the siding away from the area around the appliance
vent.
Bottom of unit to obstruction and/or ground - This requirement is determined
by local climate and environmental conditions. The unit must be above ground
and high enough off of the ground to prevent snow, water, leaves or any other
obstruction from blocking rear of unit.
The following minimum inside clearances from cabinet front must be
maintained:
The flow of discharge air must not be obstructed for a minimum of 12"
Side of cabinet to nearest obstruction - 1"
Top of unit to ceiling - 12"
Cabinet front to nearest obstruction - 12"
*Obstruction must be removable for service of unit.
Otherwise a minimum clearance of 36" is required.
Bottom of cabinet front to finished floor - 0"
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Construction
Units are approved for 0" clearance to combustible construction top, sides
and bottom. Front and rear clearances not applicable as there can be no
construction combustible or non-combustible to the front or rear of the opening.
Keep burner and control compartment clean. See installation and operating
instructions accompanying appliance.

INTRODUCTION
WARNING!
Installation of this appliance must be made in accordance with the written
instructions provided in this manual. No agent, representative or employee of Suburban or
other person has the authority to change, modify or waive any provision of the instructions
contained in this manual.
This manual is intended to familiarize the installer, serviceman and user with the
installation, operation and maintenance of the heating and cooling unit.
The unit is designed for a wall thickness of 1" minimum to 14-1/2" maximum.
NOTE: Maximum wall thickness cannot exceed 12-5/8" if rear gas hook-up is to
be used. The wall sleeves must be installed as illustrated in Figures 5 or 6 so that
the unit chassis when slid into the sleeve is vented to the outside atmosphere.
Do not install in an alcove or recess.
Special sleeve and grille applications must be brought to the attention of Suburban
as they may impair the operation of the unit.
IMPORTANT: Installation of the rear grille must be made prior to installing
the chassis as it secures from inside the wall sleeve.
In the U.S.A., this appliance must be installed in accordance with local codes
and regulations. In the absence of local codes and regulations, installation must
comply with the latest edition of:
1. National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
2. National Electrical Code NFPA 70.
In Canada, the installation must be in accordance with local codes or in the
absence of local codes, with the current CANI-B149 Installation Code.

MASSACHUSETTS, SEE PAGE 16.
1. When choosing a location for the sleeve, remember that the unit chassis
must be vented to the outside atmosphere, therefore, the sleeve must be
mounted in the outside wall of the room. A location should be selected with
consideration for circulation of discharge (room) air. Generally, the location
which provides the most effective circulation is midway along the wall of the
room the unit is to serve and away from a stairwell or other openings. Do not
locate sleeve behind a door or at a point where a door, if left open, would tend
to obstruct the unit when installed into the sleeve.
2. In choosing a location for the sleeve, one must consider the minimum
operation clearances as specified in Table 1. These clearances assure
adequate accessibility for servicing and proper operation of the unit and
therefore, must be maintained.

NOTE: Excessive rain water entering the unit through the outside grille may not
be entirely removed during operation of the unit. Excessive rain water will drain
through the raised weep holes provided on the rear of the wall sleeve.

Before beginning the installation, it is suggested that the cabinet front and air filter
be removed to avoid damage during installation of the unit.

3. Install wall sleeve into framed opening with the three drain holes to the
CAUTION: Be sure sleeve protrudes far enough into the room to allow for
any interior wall studding, insulation and dry wall or finished wall to be
added during construction.
Do not install sleeve flush with finished exterior wall.
If sleeve installed with floor clearance from 0" to less than 3-1/2", the sleeve
must protrude a minimum of 1-5/8" beyond finished surface of exterior wall. (See
Figure 5.) This is to allow for rear gas hook-up. If sleeve is installed with floor
clearance of 3-1/2" or greater, the sleeve must protrude a minimum of 1/4" beyond
finished surface of exterior wall. (See Figure 6.)
NOTE: Wall sleeve installations that protrude into the room 4" or more require the
use of Leg Leveling Kit #520600 or other means of supporting the wall sleeve.
(See Figure 8). Failure to support the wall sleeve front in such installations may
cause improper sleeve slope(1/4" rear slope required - see Step 4 below), which

may result in improper condensate leakage into the interior room space.
For installations in windows and/or curtain or panel walls of 2", it is suggested that
a minimum of two field supports be installed under wall sleeve since no screws
can be used in bottom of sleeve to the wall.
Field supplied wall sleeve angles 1" x 1" x .065/.055 are to be used on top, sides
and bottom of wall sleeve. (See Figure 9).
CAUTION: Do not drill holes in bottom of sleeve. Bottom angle is for support
only and is to be secured to wall.

Figure 2, however, considerations should be given to the location of gas lines
and electrical service. NOTE: If mounted on top of floor, the gas connection
should be made from rear of unit. For the best finished results, Suburban
suggests the wall sleeve be mounted a minimum of 3-1/2" off of the finished
floor, as illustrated in Figure 3. This allows sufficient space for the gas and
electrical connections to be made below the wall case. An accessory base
panel, Suburban Kit #520873, may then be attached to the cabinet front to
conceal these service connections. NOTE: This base panel is non-loading
bearing.

locating sleeve during rough-in. (See Figures 5 or 6.)
drain the condensate from the wall sleeve. Two methods may be used:
a. Free Drain (External)- A general acceptable alternative where the
condensate drains from the wall sleeve through three exterior drain holes
and drops to open ground. (See Figure 4.) The condenser fan is designed
to pick up normal condensate and evaporate it off the condenser coil.
b. Drain Kit - A condensate drain kit is recommended for positive drainage
when specified or code requires or when condensate is heavy under
conditions of extreme humidity for extended periods of time. The drain
tube assemblies may be installed externally on rear flange of the wall
sleeve or underneath the wall sleeve to the external side of building. (See
Figure 7) The condensate can be freely drained to ground level or routed
in tubing to a disposable location. Drain tube kits are designed for 1/2"
O.D. copper tubing.
to determine that there are no hidden electrical wires, propane or other
flammable gas-liquid piping or tubing, ducts, girders or wall studs that will
interfere with the proper installation and safe operation of the unit or the
proper installation of gas supply lines and electrical service

INSTALLATION
illustrated in Figures 2 or 3. Refer to Table 1 for minimum clearances to
obstruction. Use conventional construction methods to frame opening. Do
not use wall sleeve as a lintel. The framed opening should allow for the
sloping of the sleeve toward outside wall as illustrated in Figures 5 or 6, in
order to assure proper drainage. Do not install wall sleeve level or slope
toward room.
