MasonryConstruction

See CAUTION under General Instructions. In masonry walls, cut or build a finished opening 15 9/16-inches high by 22 13/16-inches wide. When case is properly positioned in opening, secure it in place with mortar or concrete nails driven through holes in sides of outer case (shim case and predrill holes before securing with nails).

Placement of Outer Case in Opening

Place outer case in opening, flush against one side of opening. Use carpenter’s level and ensure case is level from side to side and has a 3/8-inch slope from front to back (back of case must be 3/8-inch lower than front to ensure proper condensate drainage). If needed, use shims to level case (from side to side) and to obtain proper back slope. Front of case must project ¾-inch (minimum) beyond in- side wall in order to attach air conditioner front frame. If framing indoor side of opening with wood molding (or other decorative material), extend outer case ¾-inch beyond molding.

When case is properly positioned in opening, use wood shims to fill any gaps between case and finished opening, especially in area where case will be secured to opening.

Take care not to warp or distort case when installing shims. For condensate drainage, install drainage cup in drain hole on baseplate of case.

Outercase must project a minimum ¾" beyond inside wall
