You should now have a fully gasketed,
airtight joint that needs to be permanently
secured into position.
4. Secure Module Joints
The metal straps are to be used to secure
module joints in order to maintain the
airtight seal. Straps are provided with pre-
drilled holes and adhesive backing already
affixed. Self-tapping sheet metal screws are
provided to attach the straps to the unit
cabinet.
Leave bar clamps in place until strap is
secure.
Peel away backing from adhesive side of a
strap.
Place the strap over a module joint with the
adhesive side of the strap against the unit
case.
Ensure that strap completely covers the joint
and that it is square with the unit casing.
Apply pressure to the strap to affix the
adhesive and to hold strap in place.
Insert self-tapping screws through pre-
drilled holes in strap and secure screws into
unit casing using a power drill. For best
results, use the lowest effective power drill
torque setting. Be careful not to over tighten
the screws.
Remove bar clamps and repeat for all
remaining module joints.
