Now you have to make the same hole on the other side of the wall. Since you already
have one hole, this is an easy process. Using a nail, mark all four corners of the
first hole by making nail holes through the sheetrock. Then on the other side of the
wall, connect the holes with a pencil mark and cut.
Sheetrock alone cannot support the weight of a 65-pound (or more) cooling system.
Therefore, it is necessary to frame the hole that you have just cut with upper and lower
supports.
Using two 2x4s14.5” in length and eight 6d nails, secure the upper and lower supports to
the right and left studs, just inside the sheetrock. Make sure that the internal height
remains at 22.75" so that the WhisperKOOL system will fit snugly through the framed
cut-out.
