Step 3:

 

 

Using a rubber mallet, tap the tiger clips into the duct to join the two sections. 

 

Tiger clip spacing shall be a maximum of 12 inches between clips on each seam and within 3 inches 
of every corner. 

Step 3.5:

 

 

Smooth the external sealant with a finger or sealant tool pushing the sealant into the joint as it is 
being smoothed. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4:

 

 

Apply the AQC provided UL 181 tape over the tiger clips and exterior of the duct joint. Center the 
tape over the duct joint. 

 

Use a squeegee to apply friction to the tape to allow the tape to seal properly to the duct. 
Visually inspect to ensure the edges of the tape are sealed tightly to the duct.
