{SA) Sleeve and Angle Installation Procedure -
Fig. 11
continued
11.7 By using appropriate means, make and finish hole in wall. Ensure both surfaces of wall around
perimeter of opening are flat and smooth to allow angle to be fitted without gaps in excess of 2mm.
11.8 Position and temporarily support damper centrally in wall opening.
11.9 There are 8 off 'angle' pieces provided, 4off for the 'sides' and 4 for top/bottom of the sleeve. The
'sides' are identified with an 'S' close lo 1st tabbed end of each piece. Be especially careful when
the lengths of T/B nearly are same as the sides.
11.10 Fit to one side of wall, 1st angle assembly. Fit this to sleeve by positioning around sleeve, fitting
tabs through slots, and bending tabs lightly with hammer to begin with, and when all are positioned
correctly, and 1st angle assembly is flush up to wall, knock all four down fully to secure.
11.11 Rivet 1st angle assembly to sleeve with 3mm min steel pop rivets at max 150mm centres all round,
tight and flush against surface of wall. Check gaps (if any) between angle and wall are less than
2mm.
11.12 Fit second angle in similar manner to 1st making sure both angles are tight up against wall
surfaces and all gaps (if any) are less than 2mm.
11.13 Do not fix angles to wall, as damper should be free to move within opening.
11.14 Connect ductwork as required.

Dry wall - (CL) Cleated Installation Procedure -
Fig. 12
12.1 Refer to section 5 for wall preparation instructions.
12.2 This installation method is to be followed when extra support is required due to the damper size
(weight) or other factors.
12.3 Ensure that the supporting drop rods are suitably sized for the damper. (Refer Fig. 9)
12.4 Ensure that the drop rods are anchored/fastened in the top-supporting structure.
12.5 Depending on wall thickness, it may ease connection of ductwork, if connecting ductwork is
attached to damper prior to fabricating the wall.
12.6 Plasterboard pattress (16 off piece of the same material as main wall construction), should be
sufficiently wide to butt up to damper spigots/duct and overlap the outer edge of the track lining the
opening by at least 10mm. They need to be long enough to form neat comers.
12.7 Two layers of pattress are required each side of wall and the corners should 'overlap' between the
first and second layers.
12.8 Fit second pattress to other side of wall in similar manner.
12.9 Apply intumescent sealant to the pattress parts and fit snugly up against the spigot.
12.10 It is not a necessity to fill the void between the pattresses, but it can be done for insulation purposes
if desired.
12.11
Important:
Ensure the drywall screws 'pick up' the track lining the hole, so that the proper fire
integrity of the installation will not be compromised.
