INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PE-VERGE

DRYWALL MOUNTING INSTALLATION:

1. Per section dimensions on the product spec sheet (template recommended on ends to ensure straight cuts) cut a 3.35” parallel opening on the drywall using a jabsaw or “rotozip” tool.
2. Mount extrusion into drywall opening using 1in screws (figure 2)
   • Remove the lens from the extrusion
   • Mount extrusion with endcaps into 1/2” drywall
   • Drywall anchors not included
   • Make sure to leave enough space for wire exits, jumper cables, and end caps.
3. Prepare extrusion for mud-in plaster (figure 3)
   • Use drywall tape to cover flanges
   • Use masking tape to cover the inside of the extrusion channel
4. Apply mud-in plaster (figure 4)
   • Use an adequate to generous amount of mud to cover the extrusion wings and additional area surrounding the extrusion wings
   • Ensure the mud is at least as deep after finishing as the lens regression of the recess in the extrusion.
5. Use the extensive amount of mud thickness past the extrusion wings. Taper as far as necessary to ensure a smooth finish with no apparent elevation change or bump.
6. Remove the masking tape and clean the inner channel (figure 5)
   • Using a 50/50 alcohol mix, thoroughly clean the surface of the extrusion and allow time to dry (about 5 minutes)
7. Install LED tape light (figures 6 & 7)
   • Feed the wire to the power supply, then install the LED strip
   • Insert the lens, paint the wall, and then remove the protective film after painting

STUD MOUNTING INSTALLATION:

1. Per section dimensions on the product spec sheet (template recommended on ends to ensure straight cuts) cut a 3.35” parallel opening in the drywall above the stud using a jab saw or “roto zip” tool.
2. Mount extrusion directly into stud via opening (figure 8)
   • Remove the lens from the extrusion
   • Mount extrusion with endcaps into 1/2” drywall
   • Drill holes in the back of the extrusion and screw directly into the stud
   • Make sure to leave enough space for wire exits, jumper cables, and end caps.
3. Prepare extrusion for mud-in plaster (figure 9)
   • Use drywall tape to cover flanges
   • Use masking tape to cover the inside of the extrusion channel
4. Apply mud-in plaster (figure 10)
   • Use an adequate to generous amount of mud to cover the extrusion wings and additional area surrounding the extrusion wings
   • Ensure the mud is at least as deep after finishing as the lens regression of the recess in the extrusion.
5. Use the extensive amount of mud thickness past the extrusion wings. Taper as far as necessary to ensure a smooth finish with no apparent elevation change or bump.
6. Remove masking tape and clean the inner channel (figure 11)
   • Using a 50/50 alcohol mix, thoroughly clean the surface of the extrusion and allow time to dry (about 5 minutes)
7. Install LED tape light (figures 12 & 13)
   • Feed the wire to the power supply, then install the LED strip
   • Insert the lens, paint the wall, and then remove the protective film after painting
