Installation manual

Place the template on the outside wall and draw the outline.
Skilsaw (circular saw) to the outline. A diamond saw blade works best.
Set the blade depth to the wall thickness plus approx. ¼”.
If electric wire is encountered in the opening, turn o the power to that
circuit and then cut the wire in two at the center of the opening. Chisel
a notch in the studs at the sides of the wire opening to bring the wire to the
outside, so that the wire is ush with the face of the studs or create new
outlets on each side of unit and run new wire to re-feed circuit.
If no electric wire is found in the opening, bring a wire from the nearest wall
receptacle on the inside wall into the opening and route to the outside by
chiseling a notch in the stud as described above.
Cut and screw in place ¼” coroplast blocks top and bottom. The coroplast
should be wide enough to cover the opening as well as the thickness of the
inside drywall edge plus the outside wall edge. The bottom coroplast
blocks should slope very slightly downhill toward the outside. Cover the
sides of the opening with coroplast and tape the studs with duct tape so
that no bare wood is visible. Apply duct tape completely around the
opening on both the inside and outside. Install the duct tape by allowing ½
of the width of the tape to be on the coroplast in the opening and the other
half of the tape is then folded over onto the inside and outside walls.
Locate and fasten the main frame to the outer wall using (3) #10 x 2” screws
on each side that will go through the exterior wall and into each side stud.
Where electric wire is protruding, cut a notch in the mainframe using tin
snips to eliminate contact with the mainframe. Prior to fastening the
mainframe to the wall, run a large bead of window and door caulk around
the top and sides of the back of the mainframe to obtain a good seal to the
exterior wall. After fastening the mainframe in place, apply an additional
small bead of caulk around the top and sides of the mainframe to wall joint.
Make electrical connections at inside of mainframe at the junction box so
that the plug receptacle is hot. Then turn power back on.
Bring ¼” poly waterline from nearest outside source such as a hose bib, and
connect to bottom left corner of mainframe. Fasten poly pipe to wall with
clips to maintain a neat, straight installation so that there are no places for
poly pipe to become snagged and damaged.
