Installation In Glass Doors Or Windows - Sure Flap Microchip Cat Flap Gebrauchsanweisung

6.2 Installation in glass doors or windows

When working with cut glass always wear protective gloves as the edges may be sharp.
SureFlap is ideal for mounting in single or double-glazed windows. If you need to have a hole cut
in a window, please ask a qualified glazier to do it, as cutting glass is a skilled job. If you need to
get a hole cut in your window a circular hole with a diameter of 212mm (8.5") is the ideal size. A
mounting adaptor is available to complete an installation in glass, and is suitable for covering
holes from 210mm (8.5") to 260mm (10.25") in diameter, see Figure 12.
For details of where to purchase this adaptor see our website www.sureflap.com.
If you have a double-glazed window you will need to get a replacement unit manufactured with
the hole cut in it.
Once your glass has been cut and installed in the door or window you are ready to complete the
install.
1. A circular hole 212mm in diameter is required to accommodate the tunnel. See Figure 13.
2. If installing the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap in a double glazed panel you may choose to
seal between the panels around the circular hole to avoid moisture collecting inside. Do not
use metal in any such seal.
3. We recommend running a bead of 'All Weather Sealant' around the edge of the hole on
both sides of the glass, see Figure 14. The sealant will help secure the cat flap in place
after installation, particularly with larger hole sizes, and also help prevent moisture getting
in from outside. This type of sealant can be purchased from a glazing company and most
DIY stores.
4. Slide one of the mounting adaptor rings over the main assembly, see Figure 15.
5. From inside the house slide the tunnel of the main assembly through the hole in the glass.
From outside the assembly should look like that of Figure 16.
6. From outside mount the second part of the mounting adaptor and then the external frame,
see Figure 17. When working with cut glass always wear protective gloves as the edges
may be sharp.
7. Screw the two halves together as in Figure 18. If mounting in a single pane use the shortest
of the three pairs of screws. A double glazed panel may require the mid-sized screw,
depending on its thickness. Check the assembly is centred with the circular hole before fully
tightening the screws.
