4. Slip the discharge end of the 
station into the duct engaging station 

into duct 1” at each end.

 

 

2. Lift station into position to provide 
unobstructed access to the transmitter 
and access panel. 

3. Slip the inlet end of station into the 
duct far enough to allow the station 
to be lifted into the duct opening. 
 

3. Install gaskets and/or duct 
sealant between the station 
flanges and companion flanges. 

5. Secure both ends of station to 
duct using tek screws and duct 
sealant. 

1. Verify the opening in the duct is properly sized for the station and installation method being used.  Also verify 
both ends of the duct where the station is to be attached are true and square before attempting to install station.  
If the duct ends are not square and true, do not attempt to install station as it will not operate properly. 

The 36” and 48” wide 

stations are provided with integral mounting struts to help support the weight of the 

stations.  In addition to following the installation instructions above, each end of the strut shall be secured to 
the building structure using properly rated hardware and methods in accordance with local building codes. 

NOTE:

 

It’s acceptable to fabricate and install flanges onto the Accu

Station and ductwork on location. If 

flanges are fabricated on site, it’s still important to verify both ends of duct are true and square prior to 

and after installing flanges, otherwise the station will not operate properly. 

1. Install companion flanges 
(provided by others) over each 
end of the duct. 

 

Secure both ends using tek-screws

Apply Duct Sealant and/or Gasket, then
