Install the new lateral duct adapter
1. Prepare duct adapter for installation by Installing
the end cap on the correct end for your application.
This will be the opposite end where the extension
duct will be installed. Secure with four screws
removed in step 1.
2. Install new damper under grille on top of lateral
duct adapter for 70% air discharge into primary
room (room which the unit is installed) and 30%

80% Primary room and 20% secondary room. To
install the new damper, place damper centered in
the exist grille such that the flange on damper lays
inside the grille flange. Place grille over the hole
in the duct adapter, ensuring the damper does not
