  • Vented Skampcan Installation Instructions

    The Vented Skampcan is the most efficient model of our innovati ve products- you can install one yourself. The Vented Skampcan was engineered for easy installation into an existing HVAC boot in your floor. Which is where your floor register sits.The unique design allows the airflow from the HVAC system to be diverted around and through the back of the Skampcan with minimal obstruction.

     

    The following instructions are to assist with the installation: 

    1. Remove the existing floor register and the edge of the flooring and HVAC boot.
    2. Place the Skampcan into the HVAC boot. Check to see if the Skampcan fits securely against the front edge of the HVAC boot.
    3. If your Skampcan needs adjusting, look to the back side of the Skampcan to find the metal retainer clip. The clip can be adjusted by bending it away from the can body while being careful not to over bend it. This will result in a tighter fit. 
    4. Place the Skampcan back into the HVAC boot. 
    5. Your are done. Now you can clean up any mess or debris using your newly installed Skampcan!
