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

1. Remove the existing floor register and clean the edge of the flooring and HVAC boot.
2. Place the 4x10/12 Skampcan in 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 ti 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. With the Skampcan fitted into the HVAC boot, lightly mark the back edge where the Skampcan rests on the floor when the front edge of the Skampcan is pushed securely to the front edge of the HVAC boot.
5. Remove the Skampcan.
6. Included in the box is one 12" piece of black tape. If using the 4x10/12 model in a 10" HVAC boot, make the following cuts to black tape (as seen on instructions) Before applying the tape, make sure the floor is clean. Remove the paper backing from the tape. Place tape on back edge of flooring, being careful not to place the tape past the mark made in step 4 above. If the tape goes beyond the mark, it will be seen protruding from under the back edge of the Skampcan. Smooth out the tape by pressing firmly and folding the remaining tape down into the interior of the HVAC boot. This will conceal the unfinished edge of flooring is seen through the louvers.
7. Inspect the floor edge in the front. If the cut edge of flooring is unacceptable in the front, floor material may need to be trimmed or straitened as needed. 
8. Drop the Skampcan back into the HVAC boot.
9. You are done. Now you can clean up any mess or debris using your newly installed Skampcan.
