GUSTAFS RIB INSTALLATION
Capax is our unique aluminum profile installation system that provides you a concealed, reliable, quick and cost saving installation. The Quick-Up assembly system is a user friendly aluminum grid offering installation reliability and a perfect visual result. No tools are needed to assemble the interlocking components. A demountable version is available, ideal when access to the ancillary systems is required.

HOW TO INSTALL GUSTAFS LINEAR RIB FOR WALLS
Installation with Air Gap
1. Carefully mount the Capax profile BASE-W (1) every 600 mm with the help of a laser-level and spacers.
2. Attach the Capax U-FIX clips (4) flush to the BASE-W profile (1) with demountable clips or permanent screws.
3. Twist the U-FIX clips 90° into a perpendicular position to the BASE-W.
4. Carefully attach the Ribs to the U-FIX clips by using a rubber hammer. Use a fixture, during this installation step D, to align the Ribs. If needed, carefully re-align by hitting the ends of the Ribs with a rubber hammer and using a wooden protection block.
Installation with Insulation & Acoustex
1. Optional: First mount a framework of wooden battens to the wall with the help of a laser-level and spacers.
2. Mount the Capax profile BASE-W (1) every 600 mm.
3. Install the 17 mm insulation material (3). Alternatively 45 mm insulation in combination with 28 mm thick wooden battens.
4. Install the Acoustex felt with some double sided tape to keep it in place during the installation.
5. Attach the Capax U-FIX clips (4) flush to the BASE-W profile (1) with demountable clips or permanent screws. This also holds the Acoustex in place permanently. Depending on the type of Acoustex you might need to hole punch the felt before inserting the demountable clips.
6. Twist the U-FIX clips 90° into a perpendicular position to the BASE-W.
7.Carefully attach the Ribs to the U-FIX clips by using a rubber hammer. Use a fixture, during this installation step G, to align the Ribs. If needed, carefully re-align by hitting the ends of the Ribs with a rubber hammer and using a wooden protection block.

DEMOUNTING
When the Ribs are installed with the spring clips, they can be demounted by gently pulling close to all the points of connection (U-FIX + spring clip), starting at one of the ends. Do not try to pull down the whole Rib by pulling at one of the ends only.
Re-installing
In the case of a re-installation of a removed Rib, be sure all spring clips are properly aligned with the center of the holes in the BASE-C or BASE-W profiles before pressing firmly home.

HOW TO INSTALL GUSTAFS LINEAR RIB FOR CEILINGS
1. Suspend the Capax profiles BASE-CD (B) with 600 mm in between them. If needed, connect in-line with 3263 (D) The connection of BASE-CD to the ceiling has to be made every 600 mm.
2. Use the adapter NONIUS-CD to connect the BASE-CD profile with positions (A) to other NONIUS components.
3. Snap the distance Capax 3262 (C) to the BASE-C profile every 1200 mm.
4. Install Acoustex-15 onto the “T” section of the BASE-CD.
5. Attach the U-FIX-CD clips to the back side of the linear ribs using tool M-BLOCK-CD.
6. Attach the ribs to the carrier BASE-CD by clicking the spring-clips in the rectangular holes in the CEILING-CD profile.

DEMOUNTING & REMOUNTING
For easy access to the ancillary systems the ribs can be demounted and remounted over and over again, without the need of any tooling. The extra large fixation holes make the re-entering process as easy and quick as the first installation.
RE-INSTALLING MULTIPLE TIMES
The system is designed for unlimited re-installations over it’s full life time. This is assured by the design and the materials chosen for the parts providing this unique snap mechanism.
