Description

The Adjustable Frame Intake/Exhaust Louvers are fabricated from

galvanized steel or .040 aluminum. Both galvanized and aluminum

products are 4" deep with 2" face flange and come with rear

mounted bird screen. Fixed height is standard and width is

adjustable. Louvers have end stops to help prevent separation of

sections.

Louvers may be used in HVAC intake and exhaust systems and

many air moving applications. They are usually installed in openings

of interior or exterior walls, roof penthouses and ductwork.

General Safety Information

WARNING: USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING SHEET METAL

PRODUCTS. PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID

CONTACT WITH SHARP EDGES OR INJURY MAY OCCUR.

Unpacking

When unpacking, carefully remove louver from carton

and inspect for any damage that may have occurred

during transit.

Installation

The Adjustable Frame Intake/Exhaust Louvers are

galvanized steel or mill finish aluminum, and may be

painted, provided proper surface pre-treatment is

performed prior to paint application. Note that unit must

be adjusted to its final width prior to painting. Refer to

paint manufacturers instructions prior to

pretreating and painting.

1. To install the louver, first prepare the wall or duct

opening to accept the louver. The wall opening should

" to

" larger than the final fixed dimension of the

louver. Make sure that the opening is plumb and level,

and sufficient structural support is provided, as the

louver is not

load bearing.

2. After the opening is prepared, measure its width by

height and, on the ground, adjust the louver to the

required opening width.

3. Carefully extend the louvers to the desired width.

Take care not to use excessive force, as it is possible

to overcome the stops. Open the louver evenly to

prevent jamming. Do not exceed maximum width

dimension. (See Figure 1)

NOTE: When louver is adjusted to proper

width, both jambs must be parallel.
