Installation Instructions

WALL PLENUM AND ARCHITECTURAL LOUVER INSTALLATION

Install the appropriate wall plenum through the exterior wall in accordance with the Installation Instructions provided with the plenum.

IMPORTANT: The wall plenum is not designed to carry structural loads. Proper wall header construction is required. The plenum requires proper flashing, shim and caulk for a weather resistant installation.

Proper header for structural support. Apply proper caulking and flashing.

Properly square and level plenum.

1BUILD AND INSTALL THE ZONELINE BASE PLATFORM

1.Construct a 2314” min. x 2314” min. square platform with legs to raise the platform a minimum of 8”.

NOTE: The platform must have a load-bearing capacity of 175 lbs. minimum.

2. Make drain hole cutout(s):

• Primary Drain – Centerline of drain is

approximately 514” from left platform edge

and 812” from back platform edge.

• Secondary Drain – Centerline of drain

is approximately 612” from left platform edge

and 514” from back platform edge.

Left side of platform 2314min.

8”min.

for drain access

NOTE: Specific cutout size for drain connections needs

to be determined by the installer for the given installation situation.

3. Place the platform in the utility closet

with the following clearance between it

and the interior surface of the walls/door/panel:

• 4” min. from front of the case –

Unit to be installed through FRONT of case

• 5” min. from front of the case –

Unit to be installed through SIDE of case

• 3” min. from two sides of the case (5” for side

installation).

4. Align the platform with the opening of

the wall plenum and secure to the floor

using appropriate brackets and bolts.
