Measure the required Unit height. Remember that the units cannot be higher than 3” to 6” off the ground. This is crucial for the DVS-CS/CH and DVS-HW models as they are not adjustable in height like the DVS-BS/BH model is. (DVS-CS/CH Models can allow for up to 12”) | ||
From the inside, drill a pilot hole of approximately ¼” at the center of the proposed 6¼” hole. | ![]() | ![]() |
Outside the building, find the pilot hole. Using a hole-saw, with the pilot hole as a guide, drill a 6¼” hole. | ![]() | ![]() |
Brick or Concrete Wall: There are two ways of going through brick or concrete. The first method consists of using a hammer drill. Make holes (approximately 5/8”) with the hammer drill 1” apart through the brick in a circular shape outlining the 6 ¼” hole. Finish cutting the outer edge of the hole using a chisel. If a hammer drill is not available, a chisel can be used. As brick is brittle chiseling from the center of the pilot hole will chip the brick easily. Continue chiseling until you reach the outer edge of the 6 ¼” hole. | ||
For DVS-BS/BH Models: Join the 2 halves (bottom section must fit inside the top section). Overlap the two pieces until the desired height is obtained. Secure the 2 halves with 9/16” screws. If necessary, Use the cover plate to close the gap. Using aluminum or duct tape, seal the seam in the back where the 2 halves join together. | ![]() | |
Note: If the unit has to be shorter than 86.5”, cut the top of the bottom part. |
