! Do not tear the thermal blanket during
installation.
Dampers are tested for correct operation and are
square and straight before shipment from the factory.
Dampers must be installed square and straight and
must not be twisted or racked. Failure to install the
damper square and straight may prevent the damper
blades from operating open and closed.
Second set of studs are not required on openings
36 in. x 36 in. (914mm x 914mm) or smaller.
