THROUGH-THE-WALL INSTALLATION

NOTE

Window installation GW 05825004 instructions come with the window accessory kit only for ZC models. It is available as an accessory for ZH and ZQ models.

Through-the-wall installation can be made in wood frame or masonry walls. The casing must be tipped to the outside to aid in draining condensate. The installation should be weatherproofed outside and finished inside.Installations in wood framed or masonry walls can be made using the casing as follows. Fasten the casing directly to masonry or studding using masonry or woodscrews. Adjust the outward tip front to rear, so it drops from 3/16 to 3/8-in. (5-10-mm). If wall thickness overlaps the side louver in unit casing,make wall opening wider, as shown in Fig. below. If wall projects beyond back of unit, use baffles onrear corners of casing.

Tipical wood framing

For masonry framing, use a lintel to support wall above opening. Mouting angles are sometimes assembled to casing. Be sure to size the wall opening to provide clearance for metal thickness of casing and mouting angles if they are used. If mounting angles are to be used with casing, position angles as follows:

1.Flush with unfinished wall - plaster over or use decorative molding.

2.Against finished wall - use decorative molding.

3.Inside wall opening - use decorative molding.
