INSTALLATION OF A CARRIER WALL
SLEEVE USING A NON CARRIER
GRILLE
This application has become more common due to pre-manufactured windows with built-in grilles or
renovations where a Carrier sleeve is used with an existing non-Carrier grille.
Use of a Carrier wall sleeve with a non-Carrier grille requires installation of an Accessory Baffle Kit (see
Fig. 8), which ensures a good seal between the unit and exterior grille to prevent air recirculation. Air
recirculation is a large contributor to performance loss and premature damage to major components.
