INSTALL METAL EXTENSION AND SPLICE
PIECE
Metal extensions, furnished in 3’ lengths, are used to
finish off area from end of baseboard to the wall if
distance exceeds 9-5/8”. (If end cover is required to
cover open end, see section “INSTALL END
COVERS AND METAL TRIM” on page 5 for
instructions.)
The metal extension is supported by a wood furring
strip, which is nailed to the floor, and by wall clips
(Fig. 19). Extension overlaps baseboard and is
attached to leg of baseboard with self-tapping
screws. Drill a 5/32” hole 1/4” from the end and 1”
up from bottom at end of extension to be attached to
baseboard. (See section “INSTALL WALL CLIPS,
VALVE AND PLAIN ENCLOSURES” on page 5 for
installation information on clips.)
For finished appearance, run wood molding same as
that used on top of panel along top of metal
extension and along floor in front of extension.
If more than one piece of extension is required, or if
extension is joined to other metal trim, connection is
made by a splice piece. The splice piece is placed
inside the joint. The extension and trim are attached
to the splice piece with self-tapping screws. To
accommodate the screws, drill 5/32” holes in the
extension using splice piece as template. Cover
joint on outside with masking tape.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
After panel and fittings are in place, the paper seal
which extends above the top of the panel should be
bent down over the top of the panel. A 3/4” molding
is then nailed to the wall along the top of the panel.
The excess paper protruding beyond the molding
should be trimmed off with a sharp knife (Fig. 20).
Install air vents.
