Installing the Collection Drum and Final Adjustments
1. Attach the short length of 6” flex hose provided to the collar on the collection drum lid.
a. Secure the hose to the collar with a 6” flex hose clamp.
b. Caulk the hose from both sides of the lid to seal it in place.
2. Attach the lid to the cyclone:
a. Place a 6” flex hose clamp over the top of the flex hose. Make sure it is loose.
b. Install the lid by placing the 6” flex hose over the base of the cyclone.
The flex hose will be an extremely tight fit around the base of the cyclone. This is by
design in order to make sure the connection is air tight. The flex hose can be made more
pliable for installation by heating it with a hair dryer.
Make sure the notch at the base of the cyclone is fully covered by the flex hose.
c. Tighten 6” flex hose clamp to secure flex hose to the base of the cyclone.
d. Run a bead of clear silicone caulk around the seam at the top of the flex hose.
A longer length of flex hose may be used between the base of the cyclone and collection
drum lid, if needed.
3. Before installing ducting use a C-Clamp to hold the unit in place until the ducting has been
secured and the cyclone body is in its final position.
a. This is to ensure the unit does not fall off of the hanging brackets during installation
and you are able to adjust the system before securing it properly.
4. Secure the hanger plate to the wall mounting brackets:
a. Pre-drill holes in the hanger plate.
b. Screw the hanger plate to the horizontal member of the wall mounting brackets:
i. If you purchased our Wall Hanging Brackets, hardware is provided.
ii. Alternatively use either 1-¼” sheet rock screws or ¼”-20 x 1-¼” bolts (not
included).
