WALL SLEEVES
Important Sleeve Installation Considerations:
•All Gree sleeves are self pitching and must
be mounted level in all directions.
•Thesleeve should be caulked on all sides,
includingboth inside and outsidethe
building.
•If more than4in. (101.6 mm) of wall sleeve
projects into the room, an accessory subbase
must be used for support.
•For all applications with an accessory
subbase, wall sleeve must extend 3--1/4 in.
(82.6 mm)minimum into room and must be
3--1/4 in. (82.6 mm)minimum to 5--1/2 in.
(139.7 mm) maximum above floor (including
carpeting) to allow for proper fit of subbase.
•For applications where the wall sleeve is
mounted flush to the exterior of the
building (or recessed in), Gree recommends
a field--supplied drip edge be installed to
prevent water infiltration into the building.
•Insulated wall sleeves should be considered
for superior sound absorption, to reduce heat
loss and to prevent sleeve sweating, a
condition that can occur when the outside
temperature is cold and the indoor conditions
are warm and humid.
Polymer Wall Sleeves
Chooseapolymer wall sleeve for maximum
protection and appearance.
All polymer wall sleeves are made from a molded
polymer that is designed for strength and durability.
This material has excellent corrosion resistance and a
flammability rating of UL94--5V.
The sleeve surface is textured to prevent shine and
hide scratches. The rib configuration on the sleeve
bottom allowseasy chassis removal and aids in
drainage. The locatingholes in theside and top
panels allow for easy fastening of thesleeve to wall
Insulated Polymer Wall Sleeve
Part No.: SLEEVE--INSUL--1PK
Gree’s accessory insulated polymer wall sleeve,
with factory--installed insulation, provides superior
sound absorption, reduces heat loss and prevents
sleeve sweating, a condition that can occur when the
outsidetemperatureis cold andthe indoorconditions
are warm and humid.
IMPORTANT: Insulated Polymer Wall Sleeve
provides superior sound absorption, reduces
heat loss and prevents sleeve sweating.

Corrosion -- Protected Polymer Sleeve
Non--Insulated Polymer Wall Sleeve
Part No.: WALL--SLEEVE--1PK
Gree’s accessory non-insulated polymer wall sleeve
provides a superior appearance and protection for
many applications.
For applications where weather conditions
could influence sleeve sweating, a condition
that can occur when the outside temperature is
cold and the indoor conditions are warm and
humid, the Insulated Polymer Wall Sleeve
should be considered.

For the best performance and longest life, Gree
recommends genuine polymer wall sleeves for all
installations.
All Gree wall sleeves are built with a pitch of 1/4
in. per foot (20.3 mm/m); for self-pitching of the
unit. Overflow slots on the outside of the sleeve are
in place to divert excess water during severe
weather.
openings. Refer to dimension drawings for typical
wall installation and dimensions. The sleeve’s
alpine mist color (a shade of beige) closely matches
the front panel and blends in well with any inside or
outside decor. The polymer wall sleeve comes in
both insulated (factory installed) or non-insulated,
to meet the requirements of every application.

NEW CONSTRUCTION
ADVANTAGES FOR NEW
CONSTRUCTION
Design Flexibility for the Architect/Engineer
•Whisper--quiet performance, indoors and out
•No bulky duct system
•No separate equipment room
•No water towers or additional cooling
equipment
•No complex match--up of different HVAC
components
•Less sensitivitytobuilding orientation (sun,
wind, shade)
•Optional architectural grille to permit custom
exterior appearance
Initial Cost Savings for the Building Owner
•No expensive component HVAC system
purchase
•No equipment room or maintenance
engineering staff
•Two--part delivery to minimize on--site
damage
•Weather--protected wall sleeve that goes in
placeduring construction; chassis that slides
in place after construction
•No seasonal changeover required for cooling
or heating -- units are self--contained comfort
systems
Lower Operating Costs and Reliable Comfort
for The Occupant
•Heatpump models offer substantial savings
over models with conventional electric
resistance heaters
•Individual units allow tenants to choose the
degree of comfort and operatingeconomy.
•Rapid servicing reducesdowntime: complete
chassis can be replaced in minutes without
disrupting other occupants.
•Eachunitoperates independently of other
units in thebuilding. No dependency by
building on central HVAC system.
RETROFIT/REPLACEMENT
If youare replacing a unit in an existing wall sleeve,
youroptionsinclude:
•Replacethe existing wall sleeve with the
the polymer wall sleeve. See accessory sleeve
section for selecting the correct sleeve for
your application.
NOTE: in most cases, when replacing the
wall sleeve, the exterior grille must also be
replaced.
•Use an existing sleeve and exterior grille. The
Gree GA series PTAC will fit into:
—
— Friedrich T series and ZoneAire wall
sleeves, with a required wall sleeve
extension (see accessory Friedrich
Retrofit Wall Sleeve Adapter).

Whether you are designing a new structure or
replacing packaged terminal air conditioning units in
an existing building, Gree GA Series will meet your
needs.
The Gree GA series Packaged Terminal Air
Conditioning (PTAC) unit is designed to meet the
needs of the architect, engineer, and contractor. For
unit installation, Gree’s expert support network will
assist in all applicable aspects of the construction
project, from preparing a budget to start-up.
