Follow these general steps for installing the Slimduct system. Specific details may vary based on your HVAC unit and building structure.
1. Planavimas ir matavimas
- Determine the optimal path for the HVAC line set, drain hose, and electrical cables from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit.
- Measure the required lengths of ducting and identify the necessary fittings (e.g., elbows for corners, couplings for extensions, wall caps for entry points).
- Mark the mounting points on the wall for back plates and fittings.
2. Mounting the Back Plates
- Secure the back plates of the duct sections and fittings to the wall using the provided mounting hardware (screws and anchors).
- Ensure all back plates are level and properly aligned to create a straight and aesthetically pleasing run.
- For wall penetrations, use the appropriate wall cap fitting and seal around the opening to prevent water intrusion.
3. Routing the Line Set
- Carefully place the HVAC line set, drain hose, and electrical cables within the mounted back plates.
- Ensure there are no sharp bends or kinks in the line set that could impede refrigerant flow or damage the lines.
4. Attaching the Duct Covers
- Snap the front covers of the duct sections and fittings onto their corresponding back plates.
- Apply firm, even pressure until you hear a click, indicating a secure and tight fit.
- Ensure all covers are fully engaged to protect the contents from weather and physical damage.
5. Sealing (Optional but Recommended)
- For enhanced weather protection and a finished look, apply a suitable outdoor-grade sealant around all joints, seams, and wall penetrations.
- Ensure the sealant is compatible with the duct material (PVC).
