DO NOT remove the thermal insulation from sleeve.
Protect wall sleeve during interior and exterior surface cleaning
from corrosive and acidic chemicals. These types of chemicals
can cause damage and premature fading of the wall sleeve.
Never drill or install fasteners through bottom of sleeve.
SLEEVE INSTALLATION
Step 1 Prepare Sleeve — If grille is to be installed at this
time, remove and discard weather barrier panel and install rear
grille per the manufacturer's instructions. If condensate drain
tube is to be installed at this time, install per the manufacturer's
instructions.
Step 2 Setting Sleeve — Position the wall sleeve in the
wall opening with the bottom down and the drain holes toward
the outdoors.
Sleeve must extend at least
5
/ 8 inches beyond building exterior
to assure proper drainage and allow for an exterior weather
tight seal. Sleeve must extend at least
1
/ 4 inches into room for
proper interior weatherproofing and removal of front panel.
Step 3 Leveling Sleeve — Place level in locations shown
in Figure 2. Sleeve must be mounted level side to side and a
1/4 bubble tilt front to back. Use shims as required to insure
proper level. This will allow for proper condensate drainage.
Step 4 Fastening Sleeve to Wall — Locate and mark
two (2) holes on each side approximately 4-inches from the
bottom and 4-inches from the top.
Drill 3/16-in. pilot holes and use #10 x 1-in. screws, or
appropriate fasteners for the wall construction, to secure
sleeve in place. It is recommended that washers are used to
prevent driving the screw head through the side wall.
Check the sleeve is level side to side and a 1/4 bubble tilt
front to back. Adjust if necessary. See figure 2.
Step 5 Exterior Weather Proofing — Proper weather
proofing of all sides between the wall surface and sleeve is
essential to assure a trouble-free installation.
Apply sealant, caulking or equivalent weather proofing
material around the perimeter of the sleeve to eliminate
outdoor air and water leaks into the room.
Step 6 Interior Weather Proofing — Apply sealant,
caulking or equivalent weather proofing material to joints
around the perimeter ( including bottom) of the sleeve to
create a total air seal.
Note: Expandable foam insulation may be added to fill large
wall gaps. Apply per manufacturer's instructions.
