Installing Basic Wall Sleeve
Frame and Brick Wall Construction Type
A heavy-gauge, corrosion resistant wall sleeve is provided
for each unit. The wall sleeve is either shipped in a separate
carton or shipped in a multipack of 15.
The basic wall sleeve is designed to be easily installed in a
variety of wall constructions.

Support can be from a factory supplied subbase or from
other eld supplied materials. Recommended installation
procedures are described below (see Figure 17 - 19).
1. Clean the opening of all debris that may interfere with
installation.
2. If the unit is to be supplied with a subbase, install
subbase before installing wall sleeve (see IM 936-x).
3. lf the optional drain kit is to be employed, see "Installing
Condensate Drain Kit(s)" on page 11.
4. Place a thin pad of soft mortar on the bottom of the
opening and slide in the wall sleeve. Be sure to recess
the wall sleeve enough to accommodate outside louver.
This recess is 3/8" (9.5mm) for stamped louvers and 1

(32mm) for architectural louvers. Louver should be ush
to exterior surface when complete.
Note:Thewallsleeveisnotintendedtoreplacethelintel.
5. Level wall sleeve left to right and pitch 1/4" front to
back, pitch to the outside. Secure by anchoring with
appropriate fasteners. A 5/16" (8mm) hole is provided on
each side, 2" (51 mm) down from the top and 2" (51mm)
in from the rear of the wall sleeve. Additional holes may
be required to rmly secure the wall sleeve. Refer to
Figure 16.
CAUTION
DO NOT drill holes in the bottom of the wall sleeve as it will
cause leaks.
6. Where a subbase is used, secure wall sleeve to subbase
with clips provided.
7. Caulk the wall sleeve to the wall opening on both the
inside and outside perimeter. Be careful not to plug the
weep holes. Caulking should be resilient, nonhardening
type such as silicone.
