Special Instructions For Extra Thick Walls
For installation in walls exceeding the maximum thickness shown as dimension A, the following suggested construction
may apply. (See Figure J).

STEP 1
CHECKING WIRING AND PLUMBING: Check all wiring and plumbing inside and outside the wall to be sure none
will be broken where the hole is to be cut.
STEP 2
HOLE CONSTRUCTION: Depending on the size of the unit to be installed, layout the hole dimensions in accordance
with the chart below (See Figure K). Cut and frame in the hole to the finished dimensions. Use
2" x 4" material for framing and follow the suggested typical installations in Figure L, M or N on Page 14.
NOTE: IF THE WALL CONSTRUCTION IS TYPICAL FRAME OR 2 X 4 STUDDING WITH BRICK OR STONE VENEERS,
LOCATE THE HOLE NEXT TO ONE OF THE STUDS. FOR MASONRY, CONCRETE OR CINDER BLOCK WALLS,
LOCATE THE HOLE FOR CONVENIENCE.
