The joint detail between two adjacent Multi-Vent Panels shows sheet metal screws and speed nuts used to fasten the
units together. The sheet metal screws are installed from below, with the face plate lowered. Pilot dimples are provided
in each Multi-Vent Panel for locating the sheet metal screws. Gasketing is applied at the factory for a leak tight joint.
For example, Batten Arrangement PA consists of a singular panel, with battens on all four edges of the face, for standalone installation. Batten Arrangements PD in conjunction with PE, when installed within the ceiling, provide a neat
installation, with perimeter trim battens around the entire built-up assembly.
The details for both batten edges and adjacent panels are shown below:

Batten Arrangements
Multi-Vent Laminar Flow Panels are available for surface mounting in plaster / gypsum ceiling construction.
The Multi-Vent design permits flexibility in panel arrangement to properly integrate the air distribution into the ceiling.
CONSTRUCTION
The Multi-Vent Design for surface mounting incorporates BATTENS. Battens are trim strips welded to the outer edges of
the removable face of Surface Mounted Multi-Vent Panels. Battens provide a finished appearance and mask the ceiling
opening edge. Multi-Vent Panels are ordered from the factory with preconfigured batten arrangements, and therefore,
have specific locations within the building. The nomenclature for various batten arrangements are as shown in the plan
