Masonry Construction Installation - Bard QC Series Installation Instructions Manual

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

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
should be drilled through the holes in the sleeve with
