flow.
 Prepare Grilles, Diffusers, Louvers & Disc Valves by installing sealing material to the
internal side of the mating flange, carefully locate Grilles, Diffusers, Louvers & Disc
Valves’ into sub-frame and locate locking screws and tighten until correct level and the
alignment is attached.
 Make sure that screws should be fixed into a metal/ wooden frame which sits in counter
sunked holes through border.
 If the aperture is in masonry, the hole locations should be marked, then drilled and plugged
to give more positive fixing.
 Concealed rear bracket fixing is for use when a hidden fixing is required but the installation
prohibits the use of clip fixing.
 For fixing of Grilles, Diffusers, Louvers & Disc Valves without dampers, the Grilles,
perforated, 4 way Diffusers, and Louvers & Disc Valves are positioned into opening with
metal/ wooden frame screws are fixed through the brackets fixed into the stack of Grilles,
Diffusers, Louvers & Disc Valves to the frame holes.
 For Grilles, Diffusers, Louvers & Disc Valves with dampers, the dampers can be fixed with
Grilles, Diffusers, Louvers & Disc Valves border by clip or rivets and damper is fixed by
screwing to the duct opening. Otherwise the damper alone can be directly screwed to the
duct chute.
 After final alignment, carefully tighten the Grilles, Diffusers, Louvers & Disc Valves’ until
airtightness is achieved.
 Ensure that all Grilles, Diffusers, Louvers & Disc Valves are left in closed position and
protection shall be provided until handing over.
 Ensure that each installation of Grilles, Diffusers, Louvers & Disc Valves is undamaged,
clean and screwed tight prior to inspection.
 After all installation has been done, raise immediate inspection for approval.
