ATTACHMENT OF WALL SLEEVE TO QTEC UNIT
All Wall Sleeve Models covered in this manual are equipped with two different methods to attach the QTEC Model being applied.
The first method is with brackets supplied with the QTEC unit. These brackets are screwed to the sleeve side with six screws per side. This method can be used if adequate clearance is available on each side of the unit to drive the screws. If this method is used, the studs attached to the wall sleeve must me removed and discarded.
The second method is for installation where there is not adequate clearance to drive the screws into the cabinet sides. The attachment can be made from inside the unit. There are two threaded studs extending from the room side of the sleeve to matching holes in the unit rear panel, and are secured with a 5/16" nut on each side. See Figure 3.

SHOWING CAULKING
To use this method, discard the two side mounting brackets. Remove the nuts and washers from the threaded studs and retain for use later. Remove the lower cabinet door and locate the mating holes in the rear of the cabinet. It may be necessary to clear the holes of gasket material.
Roll unit into place making sure the unit is aligned from side to side and that studs have entered the holes in the cabinet back. Push unit back until the rubber seal on the rear of the cabinet touches the flange on the wall sleeve. Replace the washers and nuts previously removed from the studs. Tighten nuts until there is some compression of the gasket. Replace the lower cabinet panel.
