Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions—Optional

The case may be installed through the wall in both existing and new construction.

Read completely, then follow step-by-step.

1IMPORTANT

Through-the-wall installation is not appropriate if any of the side louvers in the case will be obstructed by the wall.

All side louvers in the case must project on the outdoor side of the wall.

The room side of the case must project into the room at least 134from the finished wall.

2FINISH THE WALL OPENING

Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of the case to prevent moisture from getting through to the interior wall. Use of flashing (drip rail) will further prevent water from dripping inside the wall and down the outside of the building.

 

Plaster line

Lintel angle (if required)

 

Caulking

Trim molding

(if desired)

 

The case must be installed level from side- to-side and with a slight tilt from front to rear. Use a level; about a 1/2 bubble will be the correct case slant to the outside.

A Remove the air conditioner from the case.

For specific instruction, refer to the Window
