GE RAB46A Instrução De Instalação

STEP 1

Preparation of the wall

The wall case should be installed during construction

and lintels should be used to support the block above

the wall case. The case will not support the concrete

block or brick. The case is modular in height and

width:
Height — Fits 2 courses concrete block

— Fits 6 courses standard brick

— Fits 5 courses jumbo brick

Width — Fits approximately 2 stud spaces.
For existing construction, wall openings must be

made. Wall openings of the proper dimensions are

essential to avoid the necessity of fillers or additional

framing.

STEP 2

Preparation of the case

If field-supplied case angles are to be used and must

be installed, proceed as follows:
1. Position the case angles around top and sides

of the case at the desired location (front to rear)

with angles facing toward rear (outside). Position

the case angles vertically on each side of the case

to provide a level installation.

2. Mark the case through the holes in the case angles.
3. Drill 5/32″ diameter holes at marked locations

on the case and assemble the angles using only

10×1/2″ screws. Install the screws from the

outside of the case.

NOTE:

Do not drill any holes in bottom of the case.

NOTE:

If an RAB47 or RAB48 or RAK66 Wall Case

Insulation pad is installed, remove it before installing

the unit.

NOTE:

Use lintel to support brick, block, etc., above

the air conditioner case. (If directly under a window

sill, the use of a lintel may not be necessary.)
