RightAngle Drill and Drill Extensions
In confined areas it
may be necessary to
use a right angle drill
(3.3) or drill extensions
to reach the desired
area (3.4). When
boring through a
firebreak, make sure
the hole is in line with
the hole through the
header or floor plate.
Installing MountingPlates
(For electrified valve mounting plates see
page 11)
3.5 If kit comes with a plastic plate, cut mounting
plate along dotted lines with a hacksaw or score
with a razor knife and break flange off.
3.6 If kit comes with a metal mounting plate, snip
off the four plastic tabs and remove the metal plate.
Use a coat hanger pushed through the pilot hole
(3.2) to be sure opening for inlet valve will be in line
with the 2-1/2" tubing hole.
3.7 Using raised edge of mounting plate as a
template, trace exact opening on wall (about the
same height as electrical outlet). Cut opening.
Note: Trace this edge only.
Note: Be exact in cutting opening as there is very
little overlap on the mounting plate.
installation of mounting plates and inlet valves may
vary with other manufactures.
insert tubing and low voltage wire up through hole
in floor plate to inlet valve opening. Leave
approximately eight (8) inches of wire at inlet valve
opening. Secure wire to prevent it from falling back
through hole.
Glue short 90 ° elbow over projecting socket on
back of mounting plate, matching lines on elbow
with those on plate for correct angle.
3.8 Grasp mounting plate between first two fingers
and thumb and put plate through wall opening. Pull
wire through opening in upper part of mounting
plate.
3.9 Pull plate forward, positioning it snugly into
opening.
While mounting plate is being held in place,
another person should remove tubing from hole
and apply adhesive to end. Reinsert tube and push
it firmly into the elbow. Tube can be guided in place
with fingers inserted into valve opening.
