Through-the-Wall Installation
The case may be installed through-the-wall in both existing and new construction.
Read completely, then follow step-by-step.
IMPORTANT:
■ Any side louvers must project on the outdoor side of the wall.
■ The room side of the case must project into the room at least 1 1 /
2
″
from the finished wall.
■ The case must be installed level from side-to-side and with a 1/ 4 ″
tilt from front to rear.
Remove the air conditioner from the case.
For specific instructions, refer to the Window
Installation Instructions.
Make certain a wall receptacle is available close
to the hole location or make arrangements to
install a receptacle.
Determine the size of wall opening by adding
1/8 ″ to the height and width of the case.
Measure height from the top of the case to the
bottom of the rail.
Place the case in the wall opening and secure
the bottom rail, case sides and top with 12
1 ″ long #10 wood screws.
NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for proper
installation. If the frame is oversized, use shims to
prevent case distortion.

Finish 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.
