side flanges or with wood stops.
The flanges (top and two sides) on the air condi-
tioner must mate against companion flanges on
the window, not more than %s”(.2 cm) in thickness.
On the side with the opened sash, the leading
edge of the sash becomes the flange. On the top
and jamb side of most metal windows, the flange
is there.
In windows where there are no flanges or where
there are thick wood flanges or stops, use metal
angles or wood to provide a stop for the unit
flange. Diagrams at left show three suggested
methods.
17. For installation in steel casement
windows.
Follow Steps 2 and 3 on page 5. NOTE In
Step 3, the shelf tabs must butt to the front of fhe
bottom angle on the casement (see diagram
