AIR CONDITIONER - Continued.
NOTE
For ease of connections to duct work and grilles, galvanized metal duct
extensions should be attached. They should be fabricated to the same size as
the air openings. See Figure 4-1 They should extend through the wall far enough
to make connections. For applications with no duct work, extension should be cut
flush with the inside wall. All connections should be secured with screws and
sealed airtight before insulating.
(4)
Install duct extensions to the unit with sheet metal screws and seal around the seams with silicone
adhesive or pressure sensitive tape where the duct extensions meet the unit.
Use a forklift or other heavy lifting device to lift the air conditioner. The
unit is heavy and has a high center of gravity.
(5) Lift the unit off the shipping base and onto the wall-mounted brackets. Retain shipping base for reuse.
(6) Secure the unit to the wall with the attaching hardware.
(7) Install metal weather stripping at the top of the unit and seal with silicone adhesive so it is water-tight.
