INSTALLATION OF A Blueridge OR CARRIER WALL SLEEVE USING A NON-Blueridge GRILLE
This application has become more common due to pre--manufactured windows with built--in grilles or
renovations where a Blueridge or Carrier sleeve is used with an existing non -- Blueridge grille.
Use of a Blueridge or Carrier wall sleeve with a non--Blueridge 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 and premature damage to major components.
Notes: Blueridge stamped grille is interchangeable with CARRIER'S.
