1. Determine the location of the wall hole based
on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to
the Mounting Plate Dimensions.
2. Use a 2.5 inches or 3.54 inches (depending on
models ) core drill to drill a hole in the wall.
Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slight
downward angle, so that the outdoor end of
the hole is lower than the indoor end by about
0.2 to 0.275 inches. This will ensure proper
water drainage.
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This
protects the edges of the hole and will help
seal it when you finish the installation process.
