Thru-wall Installation Instructions

Kit RS100 for Soleus Air brand Compact Room Air Conditioner

Introduction

This instruction sheet provides guidelines for installing a compact air conditioner through an outside wall.

Installing an air conditioner through a wall requires extensive carpentry and/or masonry experience. Thru-wall installations performed by inexperienced or unqualified individuals can result in costly damage to home.

Air Conditioner Dimensions

The following figures show the outside dimensions of air conditioner with chassis installed, and dimensions of outer case with chassis removed.

General Instructions

All Soleus Air brand Compact Room Air Conditioners feature a slide-out chassis. Chassis and front cover must be removed from outer case for installation.

In order to reinstall the chassis and reattach the air conditioner front cover, the installed outer case must be square and level from side to side. Use wood shims between sides of case and finished opening– especially where case is secured to opening–to prevent warping or distorting. Check installed case for distortion using carpenter’s square.

A finished opening 26 1/8 - inches wide x 17-inches high is recommended. The lower left inside corner of opening must be within 5 feet of an appropriate electrical outlet (see Use and Care manual for electrical requirements.)

When wall thickness exceeds 9 -inches, opening must be modified to allow air to enter side louvers on case (see special instructions on back ). Do not install air conditioner in walls thicker than 11 2/5 - inches.
