3. الإعداد والتثبيت

The LamaFlex Aluminum Flex Duct is designed for flexible installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:

  1. Unpack the Duct: Carefully remove the duct from its packaging. Extend the duct to its full 50-foot length, ensuring there are no kinks or twists.
  2. تجهيز نقاط الاتصال: Ensure the inlet and outlet points for your bathroom venting system are clean and free of debris. The duct is 4 inches in diameter, so ensure your connection points match this size.
  3. Attach to Vent Fan/Outlet: Securely attach one end of the duct to the exhaust port of your bathroom vent fan using appropriate clamps (not included). Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leakage.
