•Wrap shield around pipe if pipe is already installed in area to be insulated.

•Match the three holes in each side and fasten with three screws to form a tube.

•Bend three tabs on the bottom of the shield outward to allow attachment to the ceiling restop.

•Bend the remaining bottom tabs inward 90° to maintain the air space between the pipe and the shield. Set the shield on the ceiling restop and attach to the restop.

•Bend all tabs inward 90° around the top of the shield. These tabs must be used to prevent blown insulation from getting between the shield and vent pipe, and to maintain air space clearance.
