Personal injury hazard. Wear protective gloves to avoid possible
cuts and abrasions from exposed edges. Avoid contact with sharp
edges.
See gures 8 through 24. Before setting the louver, be sure the drain
lip (vertical louver) are at the bottom, horizontal louver blades face
down and the bird screen is towards the unit. See gures 23 and 24.
Place a heavy bead of caulk along the top and the two vertical sides of
the louver, leaving the bottom uncaulked so that if moisture gets into
the area between the louver and the unit, it can drain to the outside,
unrestricted.
If the louver is supplied with anges, (see gure 23) place an additional
bead of caulk on the inside of the top and side anges that come in
contact with the building facade. Do not caulk the bottom ange. Place
the louver in the opening and push it tight against the supplied building,
fastening it to the exterior of the building using fasteners (by others)
appropriate to the installation. Seal the top and sides with a waterproof
caulk to make it weather-tight. Do not caulk the bottom of the louver;
doing so might trap unwanted moisture behind the ange. (See gure 23)
If the louver is supplied with no anges, (see gure 24) place the louver
in the opening so that it is recessed a minimum 1/16" (2mm) beyond
the building facade or as directed in the architectural plans. If specied
in the plans, secure the louver in the wall using mechanical fasteners
(supplied by others) appropriate to the installation. (See gure 22 for
suggested fastening). With the louver solidly in place, run a bead of
caulk around the perimeter of the louver to seal it weather-tight. Do
not plug the weep holes (horizontal louver) or the drip line (vertical
louver). This might restrict the ow of unwanted moisture to the outside
(see gure 24)
See gure 21. If ashing was used instead of the sloping mortar base,
caulk the ashing where it meets the inside of the opening between the
louver and the unit. This helps prevent moisture from getting under the
ashing and into the room.
