When the cement has hardened, install plywood or other material in the recess to
protect the edges of the frame until it is time to install the grilles. Wait to install the
grilles until the building is ready for use.
INSTALL THE GRILLE
1.
Remove the plywood or other filler from the recess and clean the recess thoroughly.
Note that debris will cause irregularities in the recess that will in turn cause the grille
to rock or create a tripping hazard.
2.
Refer to the shop drawings and the marks on the sections to determine the correct
location of each section. Note that the grille sections are not interchangeable.
3.
Refer to the following hold-down illustration below while assembling hold-downs.
Place the stainless-steel
screws in all hold-downs on
the grille sections. Use the
plastic washers provided to
hold the screws in the lock-
downs before putting the
grilles into the recess.
DO NOT attempt to put the
lock-down screws in by prying
apart the surface wires and
installing from the top of the
grille. This will cause irreversible damage that is not covered by the warranty.
4.
Placement of Hold Down Clips
First install clips at each corner of each grille section. Clips should be placed
approximately 4 inches to 6 inches in from each side. Continue placing clips uniformly
along the perimeter and throughout the entire grate section. Clips should be spaced
evenly from 18 inches to 24 inches apart.
5.
Installation of Hold Down Clips
Place the clip in the frame at an angle and use a pry bar to insert the clip into the
frame.
(See Figure 1).
Press/Tap the clip into place using a flat head screwdriver so the
fingers of the clips snap into the space between the surface wires.
(See Figure 2).
