I just got through installing a 7 KW Briggs & Stratton NG automatic generator. Their clearances were 5 ft. on all sides and could not be put under a deck.  They had a ATS that would fit inside a stud wall.  Worked out great.  You'll have to special order the flush cover though if you're going to install it a wall, it comes with a surface cover and the rough edges are not good around where you cut out.  It just so happened that the homeowner had a "tapestry" on her wall and they wanted the panel behind it anyway.  Everything else worked out great.  Their generator comes already "broke in" with oil and a battery in it.  You have to order the battery warmer separate though if it will operated under 32F.  That cost an extra $ 200.00 where I got mine.  Inspector said it was a good job
