1. A kit assembly for securing a covering to a perimeter intake face surrounding an opening, comprising:
a series of end-to-end assembled tracks adapted to be flush mounted to a surface surrounding an intake opening;
a plurality of fasteners slidably installed upon each of said tracks prior to inter-assembly, said tracks each further incorporating opposite exterior side facing and linear extending recess slots which seat inwardly angled tabs configured into interior and opposing side facing locations of said fasteners so that said fasteners are adjustable along said tracks;
said tracks contacting the surface below said linear extending recess slots along their extending lengths surrounding the intake opening to prevent bypass admittance of air not passing through the covering;
said fasteners each further including an upper projecting portion; and
the covering including a plurality of perimeter spaced apertures through which are received said upper projection portions for securing the cover over the opening and to the intake face.
