The sleeve is then re-inserted into the prepared opening

from the outside of the building. All of the mounting

flanges must contact the exterior wall. Check to

see that there is enough sealant to make this joint

watertight. Additional sealant must be applied as

necessary. The sleeve must be centered in the opening,

and the bottom of the sleeve must be checked to make

certain that it is level from side-to-side. The bottom

flange should be secured to the wall by using two

screws through the holes in the bottom mounting flange

of the sleeve. The sleeve must be checked to make

sure that it is square in the opening. Once the sleeve

is square, the side and top mounting flanges of the

sleeve must be secured to the wall with screws through

the holes in the flanges. The gaps between the side,

top and bottom flanges must be filled with additional

sealant.

On the inside of the building, the gaps between the

sleeve and the opening must be filled with insulation.

This will help insulate the sleeve and prevent

infiltration of any unwanted outdoor air (see Figure 4).

There are two brackets supplied with the sleeve for

attachment to the unit. Position these brackets to

the sleeve and attach with three screws per side. Roll

unit up to sleeve making sure the cabinet rear is tight

against the gasket on the sleeve flange to provide an

air tight seal. Drill 1/8" diameter holes through the

brackets into the cabinet side and attach with screws

provided. See Figure 5 on page 8 for more details.

INSTALLATION – MASONRY

CONSTRUCTION WALLS

For masonry construction walls, the dimensions for

the opening will be 29.75" tall by 35.25" wide. These

dimensions are +/– 1/4" and are measured from the

finished floor height (see Figure 3). These will be the

finish dimensions of the opening.

The sleeve should be test fit in the opening before final

preparations are made. The sleeve will be installed

into the opening from the outside of the building. The

sleeve must be centered in the opening from side-to-

side. The mounting flanges of the sleeve must contact

the outside wall all around the opening. The side and

top mounting flanges must have the mounting holes

drilled into the outside wall for the concrete anchors

which will hold the sleeve in the wall. The holes
