TO USE A FLEXIBLE MOUNTING CHANNEL KI T
1 Use appropriate screws and fixings for the intended mounting surface.
Each channel is supplied with an appropriate number of countersunk self-tapping screws;
these (M3.5 x 25) screws are best suited to mounting on wooden or metal plate surfaces.
The supplied screw(s) may also be suitable for other surfaces in combination with wall
plugs (see page 8). Mounting holes are spaced every 4.57" (116mm) - on every tenth
segment.
2 Attach the mount channel to the intended surface to carefully form the required shape,
taking all appropriate precautions as you do so. As bends are applied to the channel,
ensure that the silicone seal on the segmented side is free to move along the channel.
The silicone seal on that side has an excess length to allow it to adapt to the formed
shape. Once the channel is fixed in place, the excess silicone seal at each end can be
trimmed to size. Observe the minimum bend radius of 5.9" (150mm) for the Flex Tube.
3 Push the Flex Tube (front face outwards) fully into the mount channel until it engages
with the silicone seals.
Note: To further aid long term stability - If mounting inverted or vertically, we recommend that
you add dots of silicone sealant (Dow Corning® 799, 1199 or equivalent) at regular intervals
between the sides of the Flex Tube and the inside faces of the mounting channel as it is pushed
into place.
