For optimum results, install the DBX1000 ® recessed vent receptacle for 4 Inch Walls as follows:

Box Installation - 16 Inch On-Center Spacing:

1. Orient box to match desired venting direction, score & remove appropriate top or rear 4-inch oval vent pipe
knock out. Allow minimum of 4 inches of vent of pipe to extend inside box

2. If gas line is to be installed, locate 1⅝ straw clamp on top of box. Cut the webs between the 8 fins with a
utility knife. Push the gas line through the straw clamp. The fins will flex inward holding the pipe.

3. Slide box into position taking care to correctly align vent pipe and gas pipe (if present).

4. Spacing tabs will automatically position box so that bottom, inside edge is from 2¼ to 2⅝ inches above
unfinished floor to allow clearance between trim ring and finished floor covering. Tabs may be removed if a
different spacing is desired.

5. Attach box directly to both right and left studs using the six flange screw holes. Screws are recommended for
mounting.

Box Installation - 24 Inch On-Center Spacing:

1. Orient box to match desired venting direction, score & remove appropriate 4-inch oval vent pipe knock out.
Allow minimum of 4inches of vent of pipe to extend inside box.

2. If gas line is to be installed, locate 1⅝ straw clamp on top or bottom of box. Cut the webs between the 8 fins
with a utility knife. Push the gas line through the straw clamp. The fins will flex inward holding the pipe.

3. Slide box into position taking care to correctly align vent pipe and gas pipe (if present).

4. Spacing tabs will automatically position box so that bottom, inside edge is from 2¼ to 2⅝ inches above
unfinished floor to allow clearance between trim ring and finished floor covering. Tabs may be removed if a
different spacing is desired.

5. Attach one side of box directly to stud using the three flange screw holes.

6. Snap in the two mounting straps on the other side of the box and attach these to the second stud using the
strap screw holes. Screws are recommended for mounting.

Trim Instructions:

1. Snap out left or right trim ring “cut out” (see detail below).

2. Leave 1¾ inches between inside edge of box and
end of baseboard to allow for trim ring clearance.

3. Snap trim ring into opening, no caulking required.
