INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install before the air conditioner or heat pump chassis is set in place.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE PROCEEDING.
ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
As a professional installer you have an obligation to know the product better than the customer. This
includes all safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with this Instruction Manual. Pay special
attention to all safety warnings. Often during installation or repair it is possible to place yourself in a
position which is more hazardous than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely and to know it well enough to be able to
instruct a customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking before acting. Most dealers have a list of
specific good safety practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended as supplemental to existing practices.
However, if there is a direct conflict between existing practices and the content of this manual, the
precautions listed here take precedence.

2To achieve a flush fit between the hydronic front and the finished wall, Dimension “C” must be between 3” and
3 1/8”. If this dimension is more than 3 1/8” there will be a gap between the front and the wall. This gap could
permit occupant access to hydronic lines or other dangerous parts.
3This dimension can be from 0” to 3-1/4”, but cannot exceed 3-1/4”. If this dimension exceeds 3-1/4”, the skirt
around the front will not reach the floor. Table 1

• The wall opening must be the correct size. See
Figure1forwallsleevedimensionsand Figure3for
minimum wall opening size.
• Thewall sleeveneedsto beinstalledwith minimum
clearances to the floor and adjacent walls. Minimum
projectionsof thesleeve intoand outof the room
will also have to be met. See Figures 2 and 4 as
well as Table 1 for details.
• If installed in a concrete or masonry wall, a lintel
mustbeprovidedinthe wall opening forsupport.Do
not use the wall sleeve as a lintel. See Figure 5
for a typical lintel construction.
• When installed in the opening, the wall sleeve must
be horizontally level from side to side and pitched
(one quarter bubble in the sight glass) to the
outside. DO NOT SLOPE THE WALL SLEEVE
TOWARDTHEROOM.
• The installer must determine and supply the
mounting bolts and/or screws to attach the wall
sleeve to the sides of the wall opening. Make sure
thewallopeningisadequate for strongsupport.
• Theinstallermustprovideadequatesealingand
insulation around the sleeve after it is installed. See
Figure 6 for one of many types of constructions.
• Ifused,a208/230-voltwall receptacle must be
located within 58 inches of the lower right sleeve
corner. Extension cords must not be used with the
unit. See the note on Figure 1.
Note: Additional extension kits are not allowed beyond
the 24” wall sleeve depth.
OUTDOORENCLOSUREPANELREMOVAL
The sleeve stiffener must be taken out before the
enclosure panel can be removed from the sleeve.
1. Remove the zig-zag folded cardboard sleeve stiff-
ener (Figure 7).
2. Grasping the top and bottom flanges of the rear clo-
sure panel as shown in Figure 8, pull the entire panel

6. Caulk or seal around the outside of the entire sleeve.
7. If chassis is not immediately installed, reinstall the
outdoor enclosure panel.

codes.
WALLSLEEVEINSTALLATION
Afterthewallopeningischeckedandapprovedforloca-
tion, size, and clearances, complete the following to install
thewallsleeve.
1. Slide the wall sleeve into the wall opening. Do not dis-
tort the cabinet shape to fit the wall opening; the unit
chassis must fit snugly and uniformly into the wall
sleeve.
2. Locatethe sleevewithinthe range ofminimum projec-
tions, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, so both sides are
at least the minimum projection from the wall.
3. Checkthe level ofthewall sleeve. Forproperdrainage,
thesleeve shouldbelevel fromsideto sideandone-
quarter bubble in the sight glass sloping to the outside.
4. Two holes will need to be drilled in both sides of the
wall sleeve for mounting into the wall. Drill holes of
proper size and in the proper location so the screws
will engage into strong supporting members of the
wall. DO NOT DRILLTHROUGH BOTTOM OF
SLEEVE. Figure 9 shows possible fastening methods.
