Inside Plenum

Outside Plenum

45 Drip Ledge

There are two parts to a Wall Plenum: Part A - Outside Plenum Installed so grille attachment flanges are on the outside of the building and 45 drip ledge is at the bottom Part B - Inside Plenum Installed so the large opening on bottom and the 3/4 flanges are against the inside wall of the building.

YOUR WALL PLENUM WILL ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED CORRECTLY. MAKE SURE TO INSTALL IT IN THE CORRECT ORIENTATION AS SHOWN IN THE ILLUSTRATIONS. Select the proper plenum kit based on the wall thickness: RAVWPT8 adjusts for walls 5.5-8.0 thick or RAVWPT14 adjusts for walls 8-14.0 thick. For ease of installation, Grille Kit RAVAL2 should be installed at time of Wall Plenum Installation.

Installation Instructions

STEP 1 Measure, Cut, and Frame out the Outside Wall Plenum Opening IMPORTANT: The dimension from the top of the sill (bottom framing of rough opening) to the platform surface changes depending on what model is to be installed. See Table A to determine the proper dimension for a specific model. NOTE: A minimum platform height of 8 inches is recommended to access drain connections. Measure and mark on the inside of the external closet wall the plenum cutout dimensions as shown. Cut, frame, and square rough opening. The wall plenum has a 3/4 flange all the way around to cover the rough cut opening 9,000, 12,000, and 18,000 BTU/hr - Chassis Height 32 The plenum cut out dimensions are 24-5/8 wide x 30-7/8 high. The top of the sill must be 3/4 from the platform surface the unit will sit on. 18,000 BTU/hr - Chassis Height 47 The plenum cut out dimensions are 24-5/8 wide x 30-7/8 high. The top of the sill must be 1-1/2 from the platform surface the unit will sit on.

IMPORTANT: The wall plenum is not designed to carry structural loads. A proper header opening must be built into the rough opening. The plenum requires flashing, shim, and caulk for a weather-resistant installation. It is the responsibility of the contractor to properly install the plenum and meet building code requirements.

STEP 2 Install Grille Kit RAVAL2 (not included) on the Outside Plenum NOTE: The Grille Kit RAVAL2 is best installed onto the Outside Plenum (Part A) prior to the wall plenum being installed in the building. Grille installation is easier at this point, and it will help keep the wall plenum square during installation.

If you are not installing the grille at this time be sure the plenum is square when installed in the opening.

NOTE: Refer to instructions included in the Grille Kit RAVAL2 for proper installation procedure.

Installation Instructions

STEP 3 Plenum Installation NOTES: A properly sized header and rough in framing must conform to all national and local building codes. Before caulking and permanent attachment, dry fit the outside plenum into the rough opening and check for fit,

squareness and that the plenum is level. When securing the plenum into the opening drive screws into the vertical sides of the plenum only. Water may

penatrate into framing if screws are driven into the bottom of the plenum. See Detail A below.

1. Install Outside Wall Plenum Prior to the outside plenum being inserted into the rough opening for the final time, flashing should be installed and the plenum should be caulked along the flange on all four sides to provide a weather-resistant seal. With the plenum properly caulked, push the outside plenum into the rough opening until the flanges of the plenum are against the wall. Once installed, the outside plenum should be securely attached to the frame opening. Drive screws through the vertical sides only to secure the plenum (Detail A).

Caulk may need to be applied to the outside of the building along the plenum frame to insure a water tight seal.
