ATTENTION:
This manual describes how to assemble a
typical vent system for use on a building or greenhouse.
Custom vent systems may include special components
specific to the building they were designed for.
If you
are assembling a custom vent system, consult the
introductory pages and special notes throughout
this guide for important information. Some of the
steps and components present within this guide may
not apply to a custom vent system.
POLYCARBONATE PANELS
Blackout polycarbonate panels for the vent are cut from
panels intended for the end wall.
To cut the panels to size, measure each opening of the
vent frame and cut a panel to cover the opening. Cut the
panel approximately 1/4"
smaller
than the actual size of
the opening to allow for expansion.
REMEMBER:
Panel slides into the top rail channel and
sits tight to the top of the bottom rail when properly cut
and installed.
Tape the open cells at the top with DE8002 foil tape and
at the bottom of each panel using 104774 vent tape.
