cover is used to span 24″ or more height above the

only the 12″ section of the duct cover.

• Install the 2 small screws into the sides of the duct bracket. Remove the screws. Pre-tapping the holes will insure ease of final installation.

• Match center notch on the bracket to the centerline on the wall and flush against the ceiling.

• Mark the 2 screw hole locations.

• Drill 1/8″ pilot holes in marked bracket location.

• If pilot holes do not enter studs, enlarge the holes to

3/8″ and install wall fastener anchors.

Note: Bracket has 2 sets of holes. Use larger holes for wall fasteners or wood screws with washers. Use smaller holes for wood screws with washers.
