6. FASTEN UNIT TO THE WALL
From the inside, slide the beaded end of the pipe through the 6" outside
hole so that it sticks out a couple of inches. Once this is done slide the
flex onto the pipe.
Stretch the flex and cut the excess off; if this is
not done the efficiency of the unit will diminish drastically.
Now
that the flex is tight, it can be attached to the beaded pipe with the tie
wrap. We recommend wrapping this seam where the pipe and flex
meet with duct tape to ensure an airtight seal. Then from the outside,
attached the vent to the 6" beaded pipe with screws provided. Hold the
pipe from the inside to ensure that the screws go through the galvanized
rather that bend it. Avoid pushing against flaps.
Flex should not be
kinked in any way.
Insert four 2" screws to secure the vent. Make sure the vent is not twisted
by inserting the screws too tight, and that the flaps are working properly.
Apply clear silicone caulking to act as a weather seal.
Mark where the holes for securing the unit are to be drilled (2 on the
chute, and 2 on the unit itself). Move the unit to the side and drill ¼”
pilot holes where you marked. Use a level to make sure the holes are
even. Insert the enclosed anchors into the holes, and slide the unit back
into place. Insert the screws through the unit’s holes into the anchors
and secure it to the wall. If attaching to paneling or drywall, screw
directly to the surface.
Insert plugs into any unused holes to give the EZ Breathe unit a more
finished look.
