Installation requirements

STEP 1
The WSD SLEEVE should be positioned so that the
DRAIN EXTENSION extends a minimum of
the OUTSIDE WALL (See Figure 7).
STEP 2
The WSD SLEEVE must extend a minimum of ⅞" beyond
the INSIDE WALL.
STEP 3
The WSD SLEEVE must be installed level side to side.
STEP 4
The WSD SLEEVE must also be installed with a downward
tilt toward the outside of the building. If a level is placed
so that it rests on the FRONT and BACK UNIT REST as
shown in Figure 8, a properly installed unit provides a ½
bubble slope to the outside of the building.

Sleeve installation

STEP 1
After unpacking the WSD SLEEVE from the carton, remove
the FRONT PANEL. Place the WSD SLEEVE in the wall
opening following the instructions given in the INSTALLA-
TION REQUIREMENTS. Attach the SLEEVE to the
INSIDE WALL by driving two #12A x 2" screws in each side
of the SLEEVE (see Figure 7). Shim at the top of the
SLEEVE, midway between the sides. Drive one #12A x 2"
screw in the top of the sleeve, close to the shim. Install
screws from inside the SLEEVE. If the wall opening is not
framed with wood, use expansion anchor bolts or molly
(toggle) bolts (not provided).
Please note that there will be an excess of two #12Ax2"
screws that will not be used.
