NOTE: Photos shown here assume the Frame-In Kit
and ceiling are already installed.
For flangeless installations, cardboard PAINT
OVERSPRAY SHIELD, which is installed in 3”
Evolution Frame-In-Kits, must be removed prior to
CA3FMR installation.
NOTE: The bottom surface of the Frame-In Kit should be
flush with the top surface of the ceiling material.
1. Do not remove cardboard FLANGELESS TRIM RING
PLASTER SHIELD from flangeless trim ring.
2. Prior to installation, ensure that ceiling opening is
3-5/8” in diameter.
NOTE: For maximum adhesion, a bead of construction
adhesive can be applied to the back (ceiling) side of the
FLANGELESS TRIM RING perforated flange.
3. Insert FLANGELESS TRIM RING into ceiling opening
and rotate clockwise, ensuring the perforated flange is
flush to the ceiling (Fig. 1). Blades on outside edge of
ring should bite into ceiling and secure ring in place.
NOTE: For applications where ceiling thickness is less
than ¾”, FLANGELESS TRIM RING should fit between
ceiling & Frame-In Kit (Fig 2). For applications where
ceiling thickness exceeds ¾”, FLANGELESS TRIM RING
will not contact installed Frame-In Kit. It is therefore
critical that FLANGELESS TRIM RING be vertically
aligned with the Frame-In Kit aperture. Vertical walls of
cardboard FLANGELESS TRIM RING PLASTER
SHIELD should fit inside Frame-In Kit aperture and be
used to ensure vertical alignment.

4. Apply plaster/compound to the ceiling (Fig 3). Starting at
the outside of the ring circumference, evenly build up the
plaster/compound around the entire RING LIP surface. It
is also acceptable to carefully apply plaster/compound ove
r
the cardboard FLANGELESS TRIM RING PLASTER
SHIELD if preferred. Plaster/compound should be applied
so as to firmly secure FLANGELESS TRIM RING flush to
ceiling.

may be required.
6. Sand away surface blemishes. For best results, sand
flat until the FLANGELESS TRIM RING plaster lip is
visible.

SHIELD is covered with plaster/compound, use a sharp
blade to carefully cut around inside circumference of
FLANGELESS TRIM RING and remove cardboard.
