Installation
- Decide on a location for the Dust Right® Through-The-Wall Port Kit. Make sure that the mounting location will not intersect any wall studs, plumbing, electrical wiring, or ductwork. Also, make sure it will be possible to create aligned openings on both sides of the wall; if the holes are misaligned, the wall-mount combo ports will not mount flush against the wall.
- Mark and carefully cut a 4″ diameter] hole in one wall. Options for making this cut include a hole saw, a jigsaw, a rotary tool or a jab saw.
- Mark a corresponding hole on the opposite wall. Make sure that the hole will align with the hole you cut in the first wall.
- Carefully cut a 4″ diameter hole in the second wall and spread or= cut through any insulation in the installation area.
- Drill a hole in all four corners of each wall-mount combo port for a mounting screw (not included).
- Attach the 4″ diameter tube to one of the wall-mount combo ports with silicone adhesive or ABS pipe cement. Allow the adhesive to cure as specified in the product instructions.
- Fit the 4″ diameter tube into the hole in the first wall and out the hole in the second wall. Advance the tube until the combo port is flush against the wall.
- Square up the wall-mount combo port and use the holes you drilled in the flange to mark drilling locations on the wall. Drill the holes. Depending on your application, you might need small pilot holes for screws or larger holes for wall anchors. (Screws and wall anchors not included.)
- At the second wall, make sure the tube is extending as far as it will go. Then make a mark on the tube]11⁄2″ out from the wall. Remove the 4″ diameter tube from the wall and carefully cut it to the length you just marked.
- Reinsert the tube in the hole and advance it until the combo port is flush against the wall. Attach the combo port to the first wall with screws.
- At the second wall, fit the remaining combo port onto the 4″ diameter tube and position it square. Then use the holes you drilled earlier in the combo port flange to mark drilling locations in the wall for screws or wall anchors (not included). Drill the pilot holes.
- Remove the combo port; apply silicone adhesive or ABS pipe cement and fit the combo port back onto the 4″ diameter tube, squaring it so the holes in the flange line up with the holes or anchors in the wall. Press the combo port flush against the wall.
- Drive screws to attach the combo port to the wall. Allow the adhesive to cure as specified in the product instructions.
