Installation steps before installing the thermal insulation composite system
Installing the direction-change adapter
1. Insert the wall mounting pipe of the prepared direction-change adapter (3) into the core hole and position it
horizontally in the shell wall.
2. Align the direction-change adapter (3) horizontally on the shell wall and fasten the fixing clips in place using suitable
fixing material.
3. Use only non-swelling mounting foam to fix the wall mounting pipe to the inside of the outer wall!
Throughout the installation process, ensure that the pipe remains level and round (max.
permissible deviation from the circular shape +/- 1.5 mm). If the tube exceeds these tolerances
then it is to be brought in the corresponding form fixed with suitable auxiliary means (wedges or
similar).
Adapting/shortening the flat ducts
The distance between the window reveal (discharge grille (10) position) and the direction-change adapter (3) (core hole
drill axis) can be adjusted by shortening the flat ducts (6). The duct adapters (8) can be shortened by the length of the
recess grooves embossed on the EPP body. The duct adapters must only be shortened to adapt them to the final facade
surface in the reveal area of the window.
The maximum lengths for shortening are shown as shortening areas for both components of the embrasure module in the
table below.
