PREPARING THE SYSTEM FOR INSTALLATION
8000 / 8000
Applying Insulation Tape
Locate the (4) precut pieces of black foam tape included with the system, two larger
pieces and two smaller pieces. To apply, simply peel back the white-paper adhesive
covering and place on the mounting flange. The small pieces are applied to the top
and bottom while the larger pieces are for the sides. This foam creates a tight seal
between the flange and the wall.
Mounting Flanges
Your system utilizes mounting flanges (4) to frame the installation location and secure
the unit to the wall.
Mounting Flange Installation
Select your desired flange mounting location (see diagram below), this location deter-
mines the depth of the installation. For example, position #1 keeps most of the system out of the
cellar while position #3 makes the back of the system near flush on the exterior wall. Use the (8) supplied 1/2” self tap-
ping screws to fasten the flanges to the unit. It is imperative to not use self tapping screws longer than 1/2” in length.
If you are installing through an exterior wall, please review page 19 for
specific instructions on exterior grill installation.
