DO NOT remove the thermal insulation from sleeve.
Never drill or install fasteners through bottom of sleeve.
Protect wall sleeve during interior and exterior surface cleaning
from corrosive and acidic chemicals. These types of chemicals
will cause paint damage and premature rusting of the wall sleeve.

SLEEVE INSTALLATION
Step 1 Prepare Sleeve —
If grille is to be installed at this time,
remove and discard weather barrier panel and install rear grille per
the manufacturer's instructions. If condensate drain tube is to be
installed at this time, install per the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2 Setting Sleeve —
Position the fully assembled sleeve in
the wall opening with the bottom down and the drain holes
toward the outdoors.
Sleeve must extend at least
5
/
8
inches beyond building exterior to
assure proper drainage and to allow weather tight seal. Sleeve must
extend at least
1
/
4
inches into room for proper weatherproofing.
Step 3 Leveling Sleeve
—
Place level in locations shown
in Figure 2. Sleeve must be mounted level side to side and a
1/4 bubble tilt front to back. Use shims as required to insure
proper level. This will allow for proper condensate drainage.
Step 4 Fastening Sleeve to Wall
—
Locate and mark
two (2) holes on each side approximately 4-inches from the
bottom and 4-inches from the top.
Drill 3/16-in. pilot holes and use #10 x 1-in. screws, or
appropriate fasteners for the wall construction, to secure
sleeve in place. It is recommended that washers are used to
prevent driving the screw head through the side wall.
Check the sleeve is level side to side and a 1/4 bubble tilt
front to back. Adjust if necessary. See Figure 2.
Step 5 Exterior Weather Proofing —
Proper weather
proofing of all sides between the wall surface and sleeve is
essential to assure a trouble-free installation.
Apply sealant, caulking or equivalent weather proofing
material around the perimeter of the sleeve to eliminate
outdoor air and water leaks into the room.
Step 6 Interior Weather Proofing —
Apply sealant,
caulking or equivalent weather proofing material to joints
around the perimeter ( including bottom) of the sleeve to
create a total air seal.
Note
: Expandable foam insulation may be added to fill large
wall gaps. Apply per manufacturer's instructions.
