Hang wall mount bracket | Friedrich BR1224W3A, Breeze guide

Now that you have determined where the modules will be placed, it is time to install the Breeze air conditioning system.

STEP 2 – Hang wall mount bracket

Using the paper template as a guide, locate two studs behind screw hole locations in the template. It is preferable to mount the hanging plate on studs. If two studs are not available, utilize anchors appropriate for the wall type with a combined weight capacity of at least 60 lbs. Standard wood screws and drywall anchors are provided.

If you are installing the system by drilling a 3” hole through the wall (Option 1), mark the location of the 3” hole centerline on the wall as well

Note that the indoor unit is not centered on the bracket. There is a center line on the paper template which shows where the center of the indoor unit will be after installation.

NOTE: Wall mount bracket ships mounted to the back of the indoor unit with a single Phillips head screw. Remove screw to release the bracket for installation.

STEP 3 – Drill hole (Option 1) or mount SimpleSill™ (Option 2).

Always follow all local and national codes when in- stalling equipment. Obtain the help of trained, skilled worker where necessary.

Option 1: Drill hole Through-the-Wall Installation

Drill 3” hole through the exterior wall.

NOTE: This should only be done by qualified install- ers. Consult local and national codes before drilling any holes. Mark the hole location on the indoor wall using the template. (If locating unit above a window or door, make sure the hole is above structural header)

Using a stud finder, scan area around desired hole loca- tion for pipes, ducts, electrical conductors and struc- tural elements. Relocate indoor unit mounting location as necessary to avoid interference.

Using a 3” hole saw, drill hole through wall from inside toward outside. When hole saw cuts through inside wall, stop drilling. DO NOT drill the entire 3” hole from the inside to prevent insulation and exterior wall damage.

Depending on the type of insulation, it might be neces- sary to trim excess insulation prior to completing the hole. Once insulation is removed, continue drilling from inside until center drill bit of the saw just penetrates the outside wall.

TIP: Tape a bag to the wall directly below hole location to catch drill debris and dust or use a shop vacuum while drilling.

Complete 3” hole from outside of the home by locating center spiral drill bit penetration. Using the 3” hole saw finish drilling through the wall from the outside of the home.
