Wall Case
A choice of wall cases is available for the Zoneline.
RAB71 - This
insulated case is
constructed of
heavy gauge
galvanized steel
and finished with
a protective baked
enamel finish for
protection and
appearance.
Design of the case
provides for
support of the
chassis and free
draining of any
water entering
the wall case.
A petroleum
microcrystalline
wax is applied at
critical points of
fabrication to seal against moisture. The dimensions of the
RAB71 wall case are: 42" wide by 16" high by 13 3/4" deep,
the same dimensions as the original wall case for GE
Zonelines built in 1961.
RAB77 - This non-insulated wall case is molded from
fiberglass-reinforced polyester compound. This SMC (Sheet
Molded Compound) wall case offers outstanding strength,
durability, color retention, water integrity and corrosion
resistance. The dimensions of the RAB77 wall case are: 42
1/8" wide by 16 1/4" high by 13 7/8" deep.
• Both wall cases are of universal design, accepting all

• Drain holes are provided in the rear of the wall case to
permit excessive cooling condensate water, heat pump
condensate, or precipitation entering the wall case to
drain freely. A drain kit may be connected to the wall case
to control any water draining from the wall case. See pages
33 and 34 for information on RAD10 Drain Kit.

RAK901L - For installations when wall case extends into
room, an RAK901L is an insulation kit that can be used with
the RAB77 or any existing non-insulated wall case to
minimize the possibility of condensation forming on the
indoor side of the case.

Sub-Base
The sub-base is an optional accessory for the Zoneline and is
presented with the wall case information since the decision
to use or not to use a sub-base in the installation is a factor
in the location of the wall opening for the unit. National
Electrical Code

Electrical Code

requires that air conditioning units
connected to voltages in excess of 250 volts be “permanently
connected”. There are also some installations where units
connected to voltage sources under 250 volts may also need
to be “permanently connected”. If you are in doubt about
the requirements for a particular installation being
designed, consult Article 440 of the NEC. These
requirements are designed to protect personal safety and
should be strictly followed. Although NEC is cited here as a
reference, all electrical wiring and installations must
conform to any and all local electrical codes and
regulations.

“Permanent Connection” generally means wiring between
the building wiring and the unit must be contained in an
enclosed “chaseway”, where access to the wiring connections
is more restrictive than a normal line cord plugged into a
receptacle. NEC requirements may be met by using flexible
or rigid conduit to contain the wiring between the unit and
a junction box that contains the wiring connections. The
conduit is connected to the unit and to the junction box
with connectors to hold the conduit in place. The junction
box may be located in the floor or the wall of the structure
but only approved connectors may be used outside the unit
or the junction box. The sub-base is UL

listed as a junction

Using a sub-base in an installation requiring permanent
connection provides a convenient, consistent location for
unit wiring to be connected to building wiring. The use of a
sub-base is not required, but the convenience and the
improved aesthetics it offers makes the use of a sub-base a
viable means of permanent connection.
RAK204U - The RAK204U Series of sub-bases provides a
variety of designs that fit the site needs and are available for
use with Zoneline PTAC/PTHP units. The RAK204U will
most likely be
used for
support of
the wall case
and unit.
The
RAK204U is
the same physically as the other sub-bases except there is no
receptacle installed. Receptacles and wiring can be field
installed and, by using the RAK205CW chaseway and the
RAK4002 junction box, performs the same function as any
of the other sub-base kits by selecting the correct receptacle
and installing it in the interior mounting plate inside the
RAK204U.
208/230 volt receptacles can also be mounted in the center
cover plate for easy access when direct connect wiring is not
required. 265 volt units are to be “Direct Connected” and the
external receptacle (not enclosed in a chaseway) does not
meet this requirement. Knockout for fuseholder
is provided.
RAK204U No receptacle, no wiring, will accept any 15, 20,
30 amp receptacle and wiring. No chaseway is included.
Note: RAK205CW is the chaseway and must be ordered
separately.
RAK204D20 208/230 volt 15/20 amp receptacle. Note: 18
inch #12AWG wires attached to the receptacle. (Receptacle
NEMA6-20 GE4181-2) Chaseway included.
RAK204D30 208/230 volt 30 amp receptacle. Note: 18 inch
#12AWG wires attached to the receptacle. (Receptacle
NEMA6-30 GE4139-3) Chaseway included.
RAK204E15 265 volt 15 amp receptacle. Note: 18 inch
#12AWG wires attached to the receptacle. (Receptacle
NEMA7-15R GE0716-6) Chaseway included.
