Fit
Check
Slide interior tunnel frame into exterior tunnel frame. Place
assembled tunnel frames into cut-out with interior frame facing interior side.
Align arrow inside tunnel top and bottom or centre rib on outside of tunnel
with drawn centre line on wall. The width of cut-out should be wider than
tunnel frame to allow room for installation hardware which will be installed
in a later step. The height should allow tunnel frame to move freely. If
cut-out is too small, remove tunnel frame and recut slightly to enlarge for
tunnel to fit freely.
