Masonry

Construction

1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar
to the frame construction

(refer to Step 2 of Thru-the-

Wall Installation for a wall thickness greater than 8-1/
2").

2. Secure cabinet in place using masonry nails, or the right
masoraT anchor screws. (Another w'ay to do this is to build
an in-between t?ame of 2x4's as shown in the Step 2 Prepare
Wall illustrations-but

make it double lYamed on either

side, and install between masonry wall opening and cabinet.
Frame must be securely anchored to masonry, wall
opening) This way gives very good louver clearance on
either side of cabinet.

3. install a lintel to support masonry wall above cabinet.
Existing holes in cabinet can be used ands'or additional
holes can be drilled to fasten cabinet at various positions.
Be sure that side louver clearance is in accordance

with

Step 1 above.

4. Install exterior cabient support brackets as shown in
