Indy 0651196 LED 6in Round Flangeless

Indy flangeless adapters are intended to be used only with Indy new construction housings and corresponding flangeless trims.
For best results, use Indy flangeless adapters with new, unpainted, paper- faced gypsum board only. Use of these adapters with other ceiling materials is not recommended.

Note: For the best appearance, at minimum a Level 4 drywall finish for textured ceilings and a Level 5 drywall finish for flat ceilings is recommended. In addition, use of a setting-type joint compound such as Sheetrock brand Durabond is recommended to increase durability and prevent the fomation of hairline cracks over time.

Installation Steps

Step 1. Install Indy housing and gypsum board ceiling per local standards and codes. Ensure the bottom edge of the housing ring will be flush with the finial finished surface. Confirm the ceiling cutout dimensions per the table below. The aperture must be centered in this cutout to produce a uniform gap between drywall and recessed housing.

Ceiling Cutouts

Step 2. Indy flangeless adapters contain a high- performance 3M adhesive for permanent attachment to the ceiling. The mating drywall surface must be clean and free of dust for maximum adhesion Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the drywall surface where the adapter will be installed to remove any dirt or dust.

Step 3. With 3MTM adhesive release liner in place, test fit the flangeless adapter to the Indy recessed housing and ceiling. Note: The vertical tabs on the adapter fit into the gap between the drywall and the recessed housing aperture. If necessary, make adjustments to the drywall cutout to ensure a flush fit.

Step 4. Peel off 3MTM adhesive release liner using the tab, line-up parts (per step 3), and firmly press flush mount adapter onto drywall. Hold for at least 5 seconds for a bond to develop. Do not remove the paint shield.

Step 5. The Indy flangeless adapters contain multiple features to promote maximum adhesion of the joint compound to the part. With cardboard paint shield in place, proceed in applying and feathering multiple thin layers of a setting-type joint compound (such as Sheetrock° brand Durabond”) according to the Level 4 or Level 5 drywall finishing requirements specified. Smooth and/or sand joint compound so the ” flat surface around the inside perimeter of the adapter is barely visible.

Step 6. Pime and paint the ceiling.
Step 7. Carefully remove the cardboard paint shield from the flangeless adapter by pulling straight down. A utility knife or scraper may be used to remove any excess paint or
joint compound from the inside surface of the flangeless adapter.
Step 8. Install the trim by squeezing the torsion springs together and placing the ends into the receiving slot of the brackets in the housing. Push the trim into the housing and
the springs will pull the trim tight to the ceiling.
