Foam Gasket Installation
The included energy absorbing
adhesive foam gasket strip is used
to reduce the potential for noise and
vibration between the studs and
wallboard, especially in installations
with metal stud construction.
Remove the backing and firmly
press the foam gasket strip to all stud
faces surrounding the wall cavity.
Use a utility knife or scissors to cut
and trim the edges of the foam gasket
strip.
(Figure 23 & 24)
Installing the Wallboard
Install the surrounding wallboard
using the Wallboard Template (Part
A) as a hard edge. The surrounding
wallboard should be installed flush
against the wallboard template on all
four sides.
(Figure 25)
Note: It is critical that any gaps
between the wallboard template and
surrounding wallboard does not
exceed 1/8-inch. Use joint compound
to fill any spaces greater than 1/8-
inch. Once installed, the surrounding
wallboard should be painted.
Wallboard Template Removal
To remove the Wallboard Template
(Part A), uninstall the four 1/4 – 20 x
1.25-inch, T27 machine screws and lift
it away from the enclosure.
(Figure 26)
PRO-TIP:
Y
ou may find it easier to partially
screw two screws into the center area
of the template to use as a grip as you
pull away from the wall.
