b) In PVC/uPVC/Metal
***
‘Magnetic’ cat fl aps will NOT WORK if installed directly into a
surface containing metal. The unit must be isolated from these
materials in a wooden frame (not provided).
Using the horizontal line as a base, draw a square with minimum
dimensions of 306mm x 306mm (12

”). (This will be the external
dimensions of your wooden frame).
Cut out the square with a jig or keyhole saw. Fit a wooden frame to the
hole with internal dimensions of 175mm x 168mm (6

”). The
enclosed cutting template can be used to ensure an accurate cut out.
It is within the wooden frame that your cat fl ap should be fi tted to ensure
that is fully isolated from any metal.
(Fig. 4).
c) In Glass
* It is not possible to cut holes in toughened glass or double glazed
units except at the time of manufacture. Please consult a glazier.
** If fi tting a ‘Magnetic’ model into double glazed glass a plastic
spacer bar must be used. Please consult a glazier.
The cat fl ap requires a circular hole with diameter of 212mm (8
