5.1  DROPPER DUCT INSTALLATION AND FITTING THE COOLER

• 

The dropper duct size for all Brivis Promina & Brivis Contour Series models is 550mm X 550mm�

• 

Brivis Promina & Brivis Contour Series Coolers 

MUST

 use a dropper duct with an out turned flange (15-20mm). 

This is installed on an angle through the roof�

• 

A spirit level is needed to set the 

correct angle to the dropper duct� Brivis 

levelling templates are advisable�

NOTE

The  levelling  templates  DO  NOT  come  as  standard, 

they 

MUST BE

 ordered through the Brivis Sales Centre.

• 

Determine the point of penetration through the roof and prepare the opening 

according to the type of building construction and roofing material.

• 

Frame the roof rafters to the correct width to suit the dropper duct�

• 

Position the 2 templates to each side of the dropper duct, under the out 

turned  flange,  and  with  the  right  angle  bracket  hard  against  the  dropper 

duct corner�

• 

The templates provide a 50mm clearance (mid-level) for corrugated iron 

roofs, and 100mm clearance (top of template) for tile roofs, to give the 

correct height through the roof opening�

• 

Use the 50mm template position when resting the templates on top of the 

corrugated iron roof material, whereas the 100mm template position is used 

with the templates placed on the roof tile batten�

• 

Clamp the templates in position, or use a screw or rivet through the template 

hole provided to securely hold them to the dropper duct�

• 

Insert the dropper duct between the roof rafters (see diagram)�

• 

Ensure the template levelling bracket is positioned on the high roof side of 

the dropper duct� 

• 

Rest the templates equally on the tile battens or roof timbers, at both sides 

of the dropper duct�

• 

Place a spirit level on the templates levelling bracket, and raise one of  the template ends (if necessary) until a 

level plane is reached�

• 

Depending on the pitch of the roof, either the lower or the higher template end will need raising, to level the 

bracket�

• 

This procedure will also locate the correct dropper duct height through the roof opening�

• 

When the template bracket is level, mark and/or fix the dropper duct to the roof frame timbers using bolts or 

coach screws�

• 

Be sure to use the level on both 

template sides to correctly position the 

dropper duct�

NOTE

The  Cooler  outlet  has  an  8mm  clearance  from  the 

dropper duct for the bolt or screw heads.
