Thru-wall Installation Instructions for GREE® brand Room Air Conditioner Introduction This instruction sheet provides guidelines for installing a compact air conditioner through an outside wall. 22 3/5'' CAUTION Installing an air conditioner through a wall requires extensive carpentry and/or masonry experience. Thru-wall installations performed by inexperienced or unqualified individuals can result in costly damage to home.
Placement of Outer Case in Opening Place outer case in opening, flush against one side of opening. Use carpenter’s level and ensure case is level from side to side and has a 3/8-inch slope from front to back (back of case must be 3/8-inch lower than front to ensure proper condensate drainage). If needed, use shims to level case (from side to side) and to obtain proper back slope. 15 9/16" Front of case must project ¾-inch (minimum) beyond inside wall in order to attach air conditioner front frame.
Installation in Wall Thicker Than 5 ½inches The side louvers in outer case provide ventilation to air conditioner compressor and fan motor and must not be blocked. When installing unit in a wall over 5 1/2-inches thick, provisions must be made in wall opening to ensure free air flow to the side louvers. This can be accomplished by chamfering the vertical portions of the outside opening as shown. Ventilation louvers on top of case must not be obstructed.
