INSTALLING PATHWAY USING WALL PLATES
Pathway is instaged through wall and attached using wall plates
to
sandvvich the wall. Installation of single devices require no
attachment; however, pre-drilled holes are provided for optional attachment if desired.
1.
If necessary, pre-install required
set screws
in wall plates.
2. Install a wall plate around pathway making sure that set
screw
flanges
are
facing towards the end of the device. NOTE: Posifion
plate so that the stamping on the plate aligns with the lid of the raceway. Use gauge marks located on lid of pathway
to
adjust
plate
to
thickness of wall (See FJg. 3). This will center the pathway within the wall. When properly adjusled, tighten
set screws to
. lock plate
onto
pathway.
3. Place one of two provided intumescent gaskets around opposite
end of pathway and carefully slide it back
to
fit snugly against
back
side (wall side) of plate.
4. Insert
pathway through wall (with the stamping facing upwards) using previously inslalled wall plate and gasket as a stop
(See Fig. 4).
5. Moving
to
the opposite side of the wall. install remaining
gasket around pathway and slide toward wall.
6. Install remaining wall plate around pathway (with the stamping facing upwards) and slide it toward wall surface. While pulling
pathway toward you, push wall plate and gasket tightly
to
wall and tighten set
screws.
Check pathway
for excessive play. If
pathway
appears to be loose or can easily be moved, readjust wall plates as necessary
to
tighten pathway firmly against wall.
