1. Verify the opening in the duct is properly sized for the valve and installation method being used. Also verify
both ends of the duct where the valve is to be attached are true and square before attempting to install valve.
If the duct ends are not square and true, do not attempt to install valve as it will not operate properly.
2. Lift valve into position to provide
unobstructed access to the
transmitter, actuator and access
panel.
The 36” and 48” wide valves are provided with integral mounting struts to help support the weight of the valve.
In addition to following the installation instructions above, each end of the strut shall be secured to the building
structure using properly rated hardware and methods in accordance with local building codes.

NOTE:
It’s acceptable to fabricate and install flanges onto the AccuValve and ductwork on location. If
flanges are fabricated on site, it’s still important to verify both ends of
duct are true and square prior to
and after installing flanges, otherwise the valve will not operate properly.
