Carefully measure and cut an opening with the following dimensions depending on your model (FIG. 1 & 2).

WIDTH “X” = inside model plus twice the thickness of the framing material used.

HEIGHT “Y” = inside model height plus twice the thickness of framing material used.

Model	SG-WAC-25HCE
Inside Frame Height	18 7/8” (47.9 cm)
Inside Frame Width	26 3/4” (67.9 cm)

NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-12” or more, add aluminum flashing over the bottom of the frame opening to assure water is unable to enter the area between the inner and outer wall.
