how to install Wiremold AV3 Poke-Thru Device Insert Assembly With Disposable Plate

• Plan your installation by confirming AV3CTC cover compatibility and selecting a location that accommodates a 4" hole while avoiding obstructions below the floor. Ensure the subfloor is stable and prepared for cutouts to prevent movement after installation.

• Cut a precise 4" diameter hole in the floor using an appropriate hole-saw or core drill, taking care to remove burrs and sharp edges. A clean cut helps the insert seat evenly and reduces the risk of damage to surrounding flooring materials.

• Prepare the floor covering. Verify that the floor material thickness is at least 1/8" and free of debris. If necessary, adjust the surface so the insert sits flush with the surrounding flooring for a professional finish.

• Insert the poke-thru device into the hole, aligning it with the intended path for cables. Secure the device according to the manufacturer’s guidance to ensure stability and prevent tilt or movement under traffic.

• Install the disposable plate over the opening to seal the pathway and protect the internal cavity from dust and debris. Route cables through the device, maintain proper bend radii, and use appropriate grommets or strain-relief components as needed.

• Finally, install the AV3CTC cover to complete the look. Verify the fit is tight and the surface is flush with surrounding flooring. Test cable performance and ensure all connections are secure and free from pinching or interference.
