NOTE: If drywall or ceiling material will be thicker than 5/8" the height of the housing will need to be adjusted to compensate and the locator tabs will need to be bent even with the housing to allow the grill collar to be flush with the finished ceiling material.
2a. Keyhole Installation: Using a straight bladed screw drive, punch out the two keyhole slot knockouts on the side of the housing that will be attached to the joist (Figure 5).

2b. Using the locator tabs on the grill housing, line up housing so that it will be flush with the finished ceiling. Position the housing so that the tabs rest flat against the joist and secure with the included 1" screws through the two keyhole slots (Figure 6).

1.Mounting Rail Installation: Determine where the grill will be mounted and cut a 6" round opening, being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities (Figure 7).
Install the rails on the housing and position the housing grill collar in the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished ceiling (Figure 8). Secure the ends of the rails to the joists (Figure 4).

2b. Determine where along the joist the grill will be mounted and starting 1/8" away from the joist, cut a 6" round opening, being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities (Figure 9). Position the housing grill collar in the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished ceiling (Figure 10). Secure the grill housing to the joist using the provided 1" screws through the two keyhole slots (Figure 6).
