fig. 1 fig. 2 fig. 3 fig. 4

Step 1

You will need to remove the diffuser assembly and retaining

band from the diffuser housing first. Start by removing the trim

ring and diffuser assembly. (fig. 1)

Using a utility knife, cut the flex material around the inside of

the housing to expose the retaining band. (fig. 2) If you have a

Light Kit installed you will need to remove that as well, consult

the Light Kit install instructions for removing.

Step 3

Remove the retaining band from the housing by removing the

three nuts and washers from the screw posts. (fig. 3)

Step 4

From inside the attic, lift the flex tube out of the diffuser hous-

ing, make sure to compress it to clear the screw posts. (fig. 4)

IMPORTANT: Remove the protective film Before beginning the fitting and installation, peel off all of the protective film on the inside of each component. Otherwise, you won’t be able to peel the film after the tube is sealed. (fig. 18 and 19). fig. 18 Dry fit the components before securing fig. 19 It is important to “dry fit” the parts of the Rigid Tube Kit as close as possible to their final angles before securing.

Apply Foil Tape to seal and secure Step 14 Cut strips of the foil tape about 45” in length and apply to all transition areas starting from the Upper Elbow. (fig. 33 & 34) When you get to the transition at the Diffuser Housing and Lower Elbow, cut a large piece of tape about 52” in length to adequately cover the uneven surface as shown in (fig. 35 & 36). Try to form the tape around the surfaces without tearing so that it will create a tight seal. fig. 33 fig. 35 fig. 34 fig.
