Channel Assembly:

All 19 channels have the same exterior profile. The channels are all tongue and recess to allow for an easy fit with the next sequenced channel either upstream or downstream. Follow the flow arrows on the bottom of each channel and reference each channel number to stay in sequence.

Apply the required sealant to the tongue and recess of each channel.

The Quick Clip (inset) performs a mechanical lock to secure each channel together. Each channel provides a slide groove that matches up with the attaching channel allowing the Quick Clip to lock the channels together. (The Quick Clip is also used on the End Caps).

Starting End Cap Assembly:

Starting end cap outlets are fastened to any channel upstream end with our mechanical Quick Clip. Simply cut the end caps to appropriate channel height and position on channel making sure to cut end low enough to accommodate Top Finish Cap. Clip together by sliding the Quick Clips over the mounting brackets.

Bottom Outlet Position:

Bottom outlets can be installed on any channel. Simply locate the lowest point on the presloped channel, mark the hole and drill out with 3” hole saw. We recommend using self-tapping screws for mounting along with a sealant. The bottom outlet has bosses that flush out against the channel legs to tap into.

Bottom outlet assembly:

Once you have positioned the outlet, use 1/2” self-tapping screws. The outlets have bosses that flush out against the channel walls/feet. Tap screws through the outside of the wall into the boss areas on each side of the outlet.

End Cap Assemblies:

To cut end caps to appropriate heights, select appropriate starting and ending channels by laying out the run. Starting end caps will be assembled on the most upstream channel, while the ending end cap outlet will be assembled on the most downstream channel.

Finish Cap Assembly:

Ending and starting end caps are fitted with Finish Caps (black caps) after cutting end caps to appropriate channel heights. Finish Caps can fit multiple positions by simply cutting the appropriate tab on the Finish Cap. They push on for snug fit (use adhesive if necessary).

End Caps measuring:

To measure for end cap fit, slide end cap into tongue and recess portion of the channel the end cap is being assembled to. Mark the end cap level with the grate ledge.

End Cap cutting:

After appropriate measurements are completed, mark across the face of the end caps. Cut lines are visible on each end cap to help with straight cut to allow for appropriate fit of Finish Cap. Cut along appropriate line with saw.

End Cap Outlet Assembly:

End cap outlets are fastened to any channel downstream end with our mechanical Quick Clip. Simply cut the end caps to appropriate channel height and position on channel making sure to cut low enough to accommodate the top Finish Cap. Clip together by sliding the Quick Clip over the mounting brackets.
