Section 9 -
Channel Adaptors
(Optional)
If the opening is not suitable for direct mounting
either component due to uneven surfaces,
stonework, trim, or other irregular element, use
Channel Adaptors to build in or fur out an opening
to enable Side Channel or headbox attachment.
Channel Adaptors can provide a mounting
surface for both the Side Channels and headbox.
If necessary, installer can "stack" a sufficient
number of tubes to bring the opening flush from
floor to ceiling.
Use and configuration of Channel Adaptors is site
dependent: each installation may require different
adaptors or a combination of adaptors. Installer
is responsible for safely and securely attaching
Channel Adaptors to prepare each opening for
best installation of the product.
