PROPER INSTALLATION

WALL SLEEVE INSTALLATION

The wall sleeve must be installed before the air conditioner or
heat pump chassis can be set in place. Read the instructions
thoroughly before proceeding.
Pre-installation Considerations
Before proceeding with the sleeve installation, ensure the fol-
lowing guidelines for locating the wall opening and sleeve are
met:
• The wall opening must be the correct size. See the figures
below for wall sleeve Dimensions and minimum wall open-
ing size.

Minimum Unit Clearances
• The wall sleeve will need to be installed with minimum
clearances to the floor and adjacent walls. Minimum pro-
jections of the sleeve into and out of the room will also
have to be met. See Minimum Unit Clearances and Mini-
mum Interior and Exterior Projections Figures as well as
Minimum Clearances and Projections table for details.

• If installed in a concrete or masonry wall, a lintel must be
provided in the wall opening for support. Do not use the
wall sleeve as a lintel. See Framing with Lintel Figure
for a typical lintel construction.
• When installed in the opening, the wall sleeve must be
horizontally level from side to side and pitched (one quar-
ter bubble in the sight glass) to the outside. DO NOT IN-
STALL LEVEL (FRONT TO BACK) OR SLOPE THE WALL
SLEEVE TOWARD THE ROOM.
• The installer must determine and supply the mounting bolts
and/or screws to attach the wall sleeve to the sides of the
wall opening. Make sure the wall opening is adequate for
strong support.
• The installer must provide adequate sealing and insulation
around the sleeve after it is installed (air and water tight).
See Block and Brick Veneer Installation Figure for one of
many types of constructions.
