Assembly step 6 - mounting the metal frame
Apply the inner edges of the second metal frame and
then affix the metal frame to the free end of the
air duct. If necessary, use a rubber mallet to affix
the metal frame to the end of the air duct.
7)
Assembly step 7 - mounting the metal frame
Now remove the metal frame affixed to hold the components
in place in assembly step 2 from the other end of the air
duct. Now affix the metal frame to the end of
the air duct with adhesive as described in assembly step 6.
8)
Assembly step 8 - final installation
Finally, check the air duct to ensure that it has the proper
rectangular shape.
Remove any excess adhesive
and, if necessary, correct any defective joints with
additional adhesive.
We recommend wiping all adhesive joints with a
damp cloth in order to achieve a smooth
surface.

Additional information
The GFRC duct and the multi-purpose adhesive can be painted
over with standard emulsion paint.
The duct can be cut to length without any problems. We
recommend shortening the GFRC components before the
individual parts are glued together. It is also possible to cut the
components to length after they have been glued (prior to
assembly step 7).
Individual air ducts can be joined together using a sealing collar
(special accessory - not included in the scope of supply). Doing
so means that the joints between the air ducts are uniformly
sealed, which prevents the formation of condensate on the butt
joints.

NOTE
After approximately 15 minutes, the adhesive is dry enough for the air duct
to be transported. The final installation of the air duct on the heat pump can
be carried out after approximately 30 minutes.
