AccuLux FMA5 Instrucciones De Instalación

Aculux flush mount adapters are intended to be used only with Aculux 4" new construction housings and corresponding flush mount trims.
For best results, use Aculux flush mount adapters with new, unpainted, paper-faced gypsum board only. Use of these adapters with other
ceiling materials is not recommended.
Note: For the best appearance, at minimum a Level 4 drywall finish for textured ceilings and a Level 5 drywall finish for flat ceilings is
recommended. In addition, use of a setting-type joint compound such as Sheetrock
and prevent the formation of hairline cracks over time.
Installation Steps
Step 1. Install Aculux new construction
housing and gypsum board ceiling per the
instruction sheet shipped with the recessed
housing. Confirm the ceiling cutout dimen-
sions are either 5-1/2" diameter for round
apertures or 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" for square
apertures. The aperture must be centered
in this cutout to produce a uniform 1/8" gap
between drywall and recessed housing.
Note: For ceiling thicknesses 7/8" and
greater, Aculux thick ceiling adapter acces-
sories are required.
Step 2. Remove and discard cardboard
paint shield from recessed housing.
The shield attached to the flush mount
adapter will protect the recessed housing
until the ceiling is finished.
Step 3. Aculux flush mount adapters con-
tain a high-performance 3M™ adhesive
for permanent attachment to the ceiling.
The mating drywall surface must be clean
and free of dust for maximum adhesion.
Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the
drywall surface where the adapter will be
installed to remove any dirt or dust.

in place, test fit the flush mount adapter to
the Aculux recessed housing and ceiling.

ary, make adjustments to the drywall
cutout to ensure a flush fit.

finishing requirements specified. Smooth
and/or sand joint compound so the ¼" flat
surface around the inside perimeter of the
adapter is barely visible.
