DA 3800 Flange Inlet 1 Product description The DA 3800 flange inlet is a large universal wall inlet, which is used for ventilating livestock houses with LPV or Combi-Tunnel ventilation. The flange inlet can be adapted to wall thicknesses up to 35 cm employing an extension piece. The inlet is fixed on the inside wall by screws through the flange itself.

DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3 Mounting guide Check that all ordered parts are present and undamaged prior to starting the work. Read the directions carefully before starting mounting. 3.1 Recommended tools See a list of tools recommended for the installation of the flange inlet below.
DA 3800 Flange Inlet Item Description Chisel Ladder Jigsaw Spirit level Try square 3.2 Mounting of sandwich screws To ensure that the screw makes the right thickening and the best possible thread on the back, the correct hole must be drilled first and the screwing must be done with the correct momentum depending on the thickness of the metal in the sandwich panel.
The positioning of the inlet in a wall depends on the layout of the building and the house layout. The positioning may therefore only be made according to directions communicated by SKOV or representatives of the company. The inlet must be placed horizontally in the wall. The inlet flap must be pointing into the house.

DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3.4.3 Mounting inlet in wall Make sure that the inlet flap is closed. In the case of sloping walls, make sure not to tighten the screws too much so that the inlet frame becomes oblique, preventing the inlet flap from closing tightly. See section Oblique walls [} 18].
DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3.4.4 Mounting the activation lever Open inlet. 1. Mount the activation lever on the guide bar on both sides. 2. Turn the activation lever. 3. Press the activation lever into the slot. 3.4.5 Mounting safety strip Open inlet.
DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3.4.6 Oblique walls If the inside wall is sloping, you may have to mount a heavy-duty plate or wedges between the inlet and the wall to avoid distortion of the inlet. It is essential to adjust for the distortion when mounting in sloping walls.
DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3.4.7 Foaming SKOV A/S recommends using single-component polyurethane foam or similar. Check before foaming how much the foam expands. Wet the faces with water from a mist sprayer before proceeding with the foaming. Foam around the inlet, as shown in the drawing. Foam the entire depth of the wall in the corners of the inlet and approx.
DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3.4.8 Pointing SKOV A/S recommends Sikaflex AT Connection or MS polymer single-component or similar. If the wall gasket is chosen, it can in most cases re- place the manual point process. See section Wall gas- ket [} 33].

Set the differential switch on the frame to AIC. Turn the differential switch on the flap counterclockwise (click) for AIC (Advanced Inlet Control).
DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3.5.4.3 From differential to standard opening Use a screwdriver to pull the differential switch on the frame slightly apart. Set the differential switch on the frame to standard opening. Turn the differential switch on the flap clockwise (click) for standard opening.
DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3.6 Mounting accessories 3.6.1 Inlet funnel The arrow on the inlet funnel must face upward. Tilt the inlet funnel onto the inlet, starting at the bottom and then moving upward. Make sure that the insulation piece is attached to the inlet funnel.
DA 3800 Flange Inlet 3.6.2 Extension piece Point the groove with a small joint sealant before mount- ing the insulation piece. For recommended sealant, see section Pointing [} 20]. Mount the insulation piece from the inlet funnel. Point the groove in the insulation piece with a small joint sealant before mounting the extension piece.
