Horizontal installations are linear runs of channel beginning and ending at an end cap and junction/take-up box on a single plane
surface. Runs can be up to 40' in length and the LED strip lays in the bottom of the channel.
Horizontal installations are typically installed perpendicular to wall studs or ceiling joists. Where no stud/joist is present (or in a
remodel installation) a mounting strap may be used to secure the channel to the drywall.
Vertical Configuration
Vertical installations are linear runs of channel beginning and
ending at an end cap and junction/take-up box on a single plane
surface. Runs can be up to 40' in length and the LED strip lays in
the bottom of the channel.
Horizontal installations are typically installed between wall studs
or ceiling joists. Cross-braced stud sections or mounting straps
are suggested to provide additional support every 32".

Zig Zag Configuration
Room-wrapping configurations are used
for installations that join runs of TruLine
.5A on multiple planes (like a ceiling and a
wall) using miter-cut linear sections of
channel.
For room-wrapping installations, the LED
strip will be installed in the bottom of the
channel.
Zig Zag configurations are used for
installations that join runs of TruLine .5A on a
single plane (like a ceiling or a wall) using
sections of channel joined by L connections.

5: Determine the desired length of lit installation area and mark on wall. The total installation length cut will need to be 1 3/4" longer
than the desired lit installation area to account for the fixture end caps. (For example, a desired 48" lit area will require a
drywall cut of 49 3/4" inches). Mark this length on the wall using the junction box mounting plate and a level as a guide.
6: Cut out the marked area using a "Dremel Multi-Max" or a 6" Fixed Jab Saw.
7: Mark the location of the studs to the drywall for future reference.
NOTE: To install channel in a wall without standard-spaced studs, install perforated mounting straps every 32" behind drywall
and secure using two drywall screws. Mark the location of any mounting straps to the drywall.
