Flush Channel Installation Guide
2v001 | Flush Channel Installation Guide
Product Overview
The Node Flush Channel assembly consists of two mounting angles held together by intermittent mounting brackets,
which interface with the channel face.
The Node Flush Channel is designed to be installed between ceiling panels or plasterboard, in ceilings with recessed
voids.
The following guide should only be used for Node Flush Channel where PARC is not providing the diuser or plenum.
Please refer to our Node Flush Channel with Diuser Installation Guide if you are installing with the Node with Diuser.
It is recommended that the Node Flush Channel length is coordinated with the manufacturer to the required sizes to
match the building design. The Node Flush Channel can be site cut if required.
The Node devices are supplied separately from the channel assemblies.
Note: All mounting hardware and sub structure is to be supplied and installed alongside the Node Flush Channel.
Lighting and other services must be installed by qualified personnel.
For further information regarding product or installation, please contact [e-mail].

Flush Channel Installation Sequence
Before installing the Node Channel, ensure whenever possible, there is access to both sides.
The Node Flush Channel assembly consists of two mounting angles held together by intermittent mounting brackets
which interfaces with the Channel Face
Suspend the mounting angles and mounting brackets at the required level.
Fix suspension hangers to the mounting angles using the slots provided in the mounting angles.
It is recommended that the Node Flush Channel is supported no more than 150mm [6”] from an end or 150mm [6”]
from any joint.
Access Cables
Once the mounting assembly is installed, attached the Node access cables to the bridging plate in the mounting
assembly through the hole provided.
Before connecting the channel face to the mounting assembly, connect the other end of the Node access cable to the
ange on the inside of the channel face in the hole provided.
When lowering the channel onto access cable, the face should be lowered gently to avoid damage, ensuring that there
is no-one standing below.

End Caps
The Node Flush Channel can be provided with or without end caps as project design requirements. End caps are factory
installed as requested.
Cutting Node Flush Channels to Length
Where possible, the channel should be ordered to length based upon contractor site measurements.
Since end caps are factory installed and welded in place, cutting channels to length is not recommended where end
caps have been selected. If the channel must be cut to length, this should be done at the end, rather than a joint, to
minimize visual impact. The maximum length that can be trimmed is dened by the position of the bridge bracket.
Node Device Installation
Node devices can be integrated into the system at design stage and can be purchased separately from the Node
Channel.
Outer Node housings will be factory installed in the required locations.
The Node devices are installed in the housing by aligning the snap tabs and pushing the inner casing directly into the
housing.
