II. Installation (continued)

Bring Wiring into the Pocket

3Add Side Channels (Optional)

Remove one of the 7/8" (22 mm) knockouts (located on

the side covers) to allow the MDU wiring to enter the

pocket.

Notes:

1. It is recommended that the installer provide a strain

relief device to prevent damage to the wiring.

2. If necessary, it is possible to drill a hole through the

top of the pocket as an alternative wire entry. Contact

Vimco for details.

3/8"

Bottom of Pocket

A. Mount the pocket to the wall stud (Figure A), allow-

ing the drywall to bring the side channels flush.

Note: To mount directly to the wall (Figure B), add

1/2" (13 mm) furring strips to where the side chan-

nels are to be mounted. This will bring the side

channels flush with the pocket.

B. Mount the top of the side channels 3/8" (10 mm)

inside the bottom of the pocket.

Note: This diagram shows the pocket without a front

cover for instruction purposes.

Caution! 3/8" (10 mm) engagement into the

pocket is necessary to ensure complete blackout

once the shade is in place.

C. Mount the 2-1/2" (64 mm) side channels (other sizes

available) against the ends of the pocket.
