Section II - DeepWall Installation (PXWE)
If thewall isthicker thanallowed in the notes in Figure 6, a sheet
metal wall sleeve extension and flashing MUST be used.
Installation Instructions for the PXWE- 4" Wall
Sleeve Extension
The following points MUST be considered when installing a wall
sleeve extension:
1 Provision must bemade to direct excess condensate from
the back of the wall sleeve into the extension then outside
the building or to a drainage system.
2. Air baffles must be mounted to properly direct air flow to
and from the condenser.
3. Thewall sleeve extension design mustallow for the proper
mounting of the grille.
4. Caulking is required at all sites where condensate or
external water could potentially infiltrate intothe building.
5. Fabricateand install metalflashing inwall to serveas a drip
panel. Refer to drawing for more information.
6. Condensate notchesand overflow slotsmust be kept clear
of sealant and gaskets so condensate can flow freely into
the wall sleeve extension.
NOTE: Improper fabrication or installation of a wall sleeve
extension will impair PTAC performance.
Extension Installation
Secure the wall sleeve extension to the wall sleeve before
installing itin thewall. Refer to Figure8 fora guide forfabrication
of acondensate drip panel.Thepanel MUSTextend thefulldepth
of the wall sleeve and the wall sleeve extension.
Pay particular care in sealing and caulking the panel where it
makescontact with thewall sleeve(seeFigure8).After installation
in thewall, secure with fasteners through the sides. Use a good
grade of silicone sealant around the sleeve extension. Seal all
exposed screw heads. When the installation is complete, the
outside grille should be attached to the wall sleeve extension.
