Applying the Foam Strips
The energy absorbing adhesive
foam gasket strip is used to avoid
potential vibrations, rattles and
buzzing between the studs and
wallboard, especially in installations
with metal stud construction.
Remove the backing and firmly
press the foam gasket strip to all
faces within the cavity (mounting
bracket and stud faces). Use a utility
knife or scissors to cut/trim the
edges of the foam gasket strip.
Hanging the Enclosure
With the mounting bracket
securely in place, insert one end of
the hanging rod into the enclosure's
socket
and, with the help of
(Figure 12)
another person, lift the enclosure into
the stud bay and place the other end
of the hanging rod into the mounting
bracket's socket.
(Figure 13)
Inspect the space clearances
between the enclosure's sides and the
studs. The gap along the entire length
of the enclosure should be equal on
both sides. If the gaps are uneven,
this means the enclosure is hanging
off-center and the mounting bracket
needs to be adjusted. Loosen the
two slotted hole screws in each steel
L-bracket and slide the wooden cross-
member to the left or right until the
enclosure is visually centered in the
wall cavity.
Once centered, retighten
the two slotted hole screws and
install two more #8 x 1.25-inch
screws in the locking positions
in between the slotted holes of
each L-bracket.
(Figure 14)
Once in place, the enclosure should
float freely within the wall cavity
without making any hard contact.
