How to Install the RFG5DY Cool Boot Raised Floor Air Sealing Grommet

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the RFG5DY grommet in a raised floor environment, ensuring proper sealing and cable management.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Drill, Safety glasses, Utility knife

Supplies needed:

Self-tapping screws, Flexible gasket, Hook and loop cinch tie

  1. Check parts

    Verify that all parts of the RFG5DY grommet are present by comparing with the parts list provided in the documentation.

  2. Mark cutout space

    Using the template provided, mark the outline of the 5-inch diameter cutout on the raised floor tile according to the specifications.

  3. Cut the tile

    Carefully cut the marked space in the tile using a utility knife, ensuring to follow the raised floor manufacturer's specifications.

  4. Install the flexible gasket

    Place the flexible gasket in the cutout space to protect cables from sharp edges.

  5. Secure the outer ring

    Position the outer ring over the gasket and secure it to the raised floor using the provided self-tapping screws. Drill a 3/32" pilot hole if necessary.

  6. Pass cables through

    Feed the cable bundles through the grommet opening.
