Insulated Attic Hatch Cover Quick Seal
Installation of Quick-Seal
Remove Quick-SealTM from the packaging. Carefully center the Quick-Seal cover over the attic opening and hold in place with one hand. Using the four guide holes near the corners of the cover, drill a 3/16" hole approximately 1 inch deep into the ceiling NOTE: The guide holes and anchors are sized for a 3/16" drill bit. Failure to use the proper drill bit size may result in an unsatisfactory installation. (Use eye protection when drilling holes in the ceiling.)
After holes are drilled, remove the cover from the ceiling. Remove the knockout holes in the corners of the cover by twisting the plastic knockout back and forth until it falls out.
Assembly of Quick-Seal
Prior to installation, apply the foam gasket material to the back side of the product. Place the cover on the flat surface with the foam insulation facing up. Apply the foam gasket material by removing the release liner and exposing the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Starting in the middle of any side, press the adhesive to the flat area of the cover directly next to the foam insulation. NOTE: DO NOT cover up the knockout holes with the gasket material. Carefully round the four corners and trim to the proper length when completed. (Hint: Do not stretch gasket material or remove too much release liner at one time.)
Install Anchors
Using a hammer, gently tap the anchors in place until flush with the ceiling.
Install Turn Fasteners
Screw the turn fasteners by hand into the anchor until tight and aligned with the holes on the cover. NOTE: If necessary, use a pliers to gently tighten the turn fasteners but do not continue turning once the fastener face plate is flush with the anchor.
