Step 8.
Install the black trim collar around the outside of the cathedral ceiling support box (Figure 5.19). The two pieces of the trim collar slide over one another to allow for easy adjustment around the support box. Using the six screws provided, secure the four corners and the overlapping sections of the trim collar to the ceiling. You may want to predrill the holes for the overlapped sections for ease of installation.
