IDENTIFY YOUR EXISTING SLEEVE

What fits the Friedrich WSE sleeve?

The assembled Friedrich WSE sleeve. This pilot documents replacement with the listed R-32 Uni-Fit units; additional reviewed WallMaster candidates remain unpublished and affected source conflicts are explicit. Confirm the actual sleeve identity and condition.

12 documented options. 10 with required kit included.

Confirm this is your actual sleeve. Each option has separate installation and electrical requirements.

How to identify it

  • Confirm WSE on the sleeve documentation or label. The assembled WSE and the knock-down WSEZ are separately named products; this record covers WSE.Source 4
  • The brochure lists the WSE housing as 27 in wide × 16.75 in high × 16.75 in deep. These are sleeve dimensions, not a measured internal clearance or proof of compatibility.Source 2
  • WSE is sold with an expanded-metal grille for WallMaster installations. The reviewed Uni-Fit replacement procedure instead requires its specified dual-intake grille; follow the model-specific relationship below rather than retaining the old grille.Source 4Source 13

Dimensions: three different measurements

Interior dimensions, outside sleeve dimensions and the wall opening are different. These values describe the equipment; they do not prove fit.
