2.3 PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE
To mount the 800 Btu unit you will need to cut an opening in your enclosure and drill
mounting holes. A cut-out drawing (Figure 2.2) showing the cut-out size and hole locations has
been included in this manual. The instructions for installing the air conditioner are printed below.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED:
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Tape Measure
• Jigsaw or suitable alternative
• Electric drill
• # 29 drill bit (.136”)
• # 8-32 tap and tap handle
• Sixteen # 8-32 x 3/8” stainless machine screws (supplied)
• Sixteen nylon washers (supplied)
• One neoprene gasket (supplied)
CUT THE OPENING AND DRILL MOUNTING HOLES IN THE ENCLOSURE
1. Using the guidelines provided in the installation manual choose an appropriate location for
the air conditioner on your enclosure.
2. Layout the cut-out and hole pattern for the AC on the enclosure. Refer to Figure 2.2A for
standard flange only. Standard flange air conditioners do not contain NF in the part
number, and the mounting flange measures 13” x 13”. Refer to figure 2.2B for narrow
flange models only. Air conditioners that are narrow flange units contain NF in the part
number, and the mounting flange measures 13” x 12”.
3. Before cutting or drilling check that the location meets the clearance requirements as
specified in the installation manual.
4. Using a pencil, center punch or other method, mark the exact center point of each
mounting hole on the enclosure. Also mark the four corners of the section to be cut out.
5. Using the jigsaw, cut the opening in the enclosure.
6. Using the # 29 drill bit, drill a hole at each of the marks you made earlier.
7. Using the 8-32 tap, tap each of the holes you have drilled.
2.4 INSTALLING THE AIR CONDITIONER
INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER
1. Lay the air conditioner down with the thermostat facing up.
2. Take the supplied gasket and lay it down on the flange.
3. Take one of the supplied mounting screws and, from the under side of the flange, push it up
through the top, right mounting hole, and through the hole in the gasket. The gasket hole
is undersized and will hold the screw in place. Repeat this on the top left mounting hole.
4. Set the AC unit in the hole you’ve cut in the enclosure, and using a screwdriver, carefully
secure the two screws you attached to the gasket to the tapped holes in the enclosure. Do
not tighten these at this time.
5. Install the rest of the screws in the flange placing a nylon washer on each fastener and
screw them into the tapped holes in the enclosure. If you have purchased a vertical drip
pan, you will need to install the three long screws in the three center holes in the bottom
flange.
6. Remove the two started screws and place a nylon washer on each and reinstall.
7. Tighten all screws.
