STEP 9: SEALING THE COLLAR BRACKETS:
A good weather seal is required between the exterior wall and the collar bracket hardware installed in Step
6. DO NOT seal around the control panel collar as this has a water-resistant gasket factory installed.
A suitable water-resistant sealant product must be applied to three (3) sides of the collar brackets
hardware. If using caulk, recommend a clear color (not white). There are also products that are color
tinted to closely match the trim color or any customer-provided shroud..
