7. 

After the wall cut-out is completed install the electrical 

cable (3 x 1.5 mm

2

) in the upper part of the wall box. Affix 

the wall box flush with plaster,

 perpendicularly

 and secure 

with wedges. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. 

Please note that different stucco thicknesses result when 

matching wall curvature. 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING   

 

 

•  The wall box must be placed with millimeter  

 

accuracy, so the freeAir 100 will fit tightly sealed. 

•  Leading edge of the wall box must sit 

flush with  

 

plaster

•  Use sealing tape to assure a vapor proof connection  

 

between wall box and wall. 

 

9. 

Use appropriate polyurethane foam to fasten corners of 

wall box. 

Once the foam has hardened add additional layers of 

foam. 

Take care not to allow expanding foam to deform the box. 

Leave box bracing in place!
