Grasping the top and bottom 
flanges of the rear closure panel 
as shown in 

, the entire 

panel is pulled out diagonally 
from one side.

Drain kits are available for indoor or 
outdoor installation to help 
condensate drain from either the 
right or left side of the wall sleeve 
externally, or from the bottom of the 
sleeve internally. 

If you do not use the drain kit, 
condensate will drain out of the rear 
of the wall sleeve. The drain kit must 
be installed before the outdoor grille 
is installed. 

An outdoor air grille directs airflow 
for proper unit operation and to 
protect the outdoor coil. Install the 
grille before installing the chassis. 

Outdoor air grille options are either a 
stamped grille or an architectural 
grille. When replacing an old chassis 
with an existing grille, please check 
with your HVAC representative to 
determine if the new chassis can be 
used with the old outdoor grille. 

Using the wrong type outdoor grille 
can decrease cooling or heating 
capacity, increase energy usage, or 
shorten compressor life.

For condensate  to drain properly 
inside the unit, the sleeve must be 
installed properly:

•

level from right to left

•

with a slight downward pitch 
from the indoor side to the 
outdoor side 

1.

Attach the insulation strip to the 
upper rear of the wall sleeve. See 

. If using an extended 

wall sleeve, attach the insulation 
strip between the two baffles, 
touching the baffle surface facing 
towards the front.

2.

Remove the cabinet front from 
the chassis by pulling the bottom 
of the cabinet front away from 
the chassis until the retaining 
clips disengage.

3.

If using a subbase, be sure the 
right-hand subbase cover is 
removed before installing the 
chassis in the wall sleeve.

4.

Slide the chassis into the wall 
sleeve until the chassis flanges 
contact the front edge of the wall 
sleeve. 

See Figure 14.

5.

Secure the chassis to the wall 
sleeve using three screws on 
each side of the chassis to ensure 
a proper seal between the 
chassis and the wall sleeve . The 
screws are supplied in a plastic 
bag which is attached to the 
power cord. See 

.

6.

Verify the indoor and outdoor 
grilles are free of airflow 
obstructions.

7.

Make the power supply 
connections as detailed in the 
next step.
