Step 3: Measure and Frame Out the Outside Wall Plenum Opening IMPORTANT All units must follow the dimensions in Figure A. FIGURE A All Models The plenum cut out dimensions are 24 5/8" wide x 30 7/8" high. The bottom of the rough in opening must be 3/4" from the surface the unit will sit on. Measure your outside wall as shown in the illustration. Cut, frame, and square rough opening. The Wall plenum has a 3/4" break all the way around to cover the rough cut opening or required shim.

Step 4: Install Architectural Louver on the Outside Plenum NOTE The VPAL2 Architectural Louver is best installed onto the Outside Plenum (Part A) prior to Wall Plenum installation. Louver installation is easier at this point, and it will help keep the Wall Plenum square during installation. Step 5: Plenum Installation Note Proper header and wall penetration must conform to all national and local building codes.

Step 6: Adjust the Divider Adjustment Loosen the two screws located on the top side of the divider. Slide the top part of the divider toward the outside until the sealing strip makes contact with the outdoor louver. Tighten the divider screws to complete the adjustment. NOTE Let the caulk cure completely before installing the chassis. This completes the plenum installation.
