FlowBar Installed During Hard Ceiling Installation
STEP 2. Construct Ceiling Framework
̷ Before installing drywall, a framed opening must be constructed to
support the FlowBar Diffuser.
̷ It is recommended that the framework be continuous to
accommodate the Hard Ceiling Clip spacing requirements.
̷ The framing material must be suitable to hold the Diffuser in place
when attached with screws through the FlowBar Mounting Clips.
̷ The width of the framed opening required depends on the model of
FlowBar being installed. The frame opening width dimension, ‘W’,
is listed in Table 1.
̷ NOTE: If it appears that it will be difficult to install plenums after
the opening is framed and FlowBar installed, then use wires to
support the Plenums above the framework first.

STEP 3. Attach Mounting Clips
̷ Hard Ceiling Clips are shipped loose for field attachment to the
FlowBar Diffuser.
̷ Slide the Hard Ceiling Clips into the lower bosses of each frame rail
as shown in Figure 2.
̷ Position the clips at a maximum of 10” intervals along the Diffuser
frame.
̷ The Hard Ceiling Clips must be secured to a framing member.
̷ These Mounting Clips should be attached to the ceiling framework
at a maximum of 10” intervals.
̷ For Diffusers with two slots, a CenterTee Support Bracket is shipped
loose for installation. The Center-Tee Support Bracket is installed
over the center rail of the FlowBar and then rotated to interlock with
the outer FlowBar borders as shown in Figure 3.
