Installation

STEP 1

Clear, clean, and trim any exposed metal from the air duct that 
sits above the height of the sub floor.

STEP 2

Position the flush-mount frame over the duct opening so that 
it is parallel to the floor line.  All four sides will need to sit on 
the sub floor.  Since no parts or pieces need to fit into the duct 
opening, you have some flexibility in placement.  For optimal 
performance, the frame of the flush mount vent should be 
centred over the air duct.

STEP 3 

Drill a 5/64” pilot hole inside the rabbeted edge or recessed area 
of the frame at an angle down into the sub-floor. 

Before Installing

It is recommended to consult an NWFA certified hardwood 
floor installer if you are unfamiliar with installing wood 
flooring accessories.  Airwood Flooring Accessories accepts 
no liability for any damage to the home or personal injury 
from installation.

Observe all local building codes.

Wood vents should always be installed at the time of your 
hardwood floor.

Important Information

Airwood Flooring Accessories flush-mount vents are listed 
and sold by HVAC (air duct) opening, which is an industry 
standard.  The outside dimension of our frame will be larger 
than the duct opening measurement.

Airwood Flooring Accessories flush-mount vents are 
available in 9/16”, 3/4”, 5/8” or 1/2” thickness.   These thickness 
measurements need to be determined at the time of order 
to match the thickness of the floor being installed.  Do not 
under any circumstance alter the thickness of the vent 
after fabrication.  

Our flush-mount vent may or may not have a universal 
groove in the frame.  Since so many flooring manufactures 
have their own groove, we recommend installing flush vents 
by taking the tongue off your hardwood and butt jointing the 
floor to the frame. See Installation Steps.
