1.Cut a 10Z\x" (241 mm) square hole in the ceiling using the locating hole as a center point The opening should be framed to 10Z\x" x 10Z\x" (241 x 241 mm) inside dimen- sions as shown in Figure 22 using framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joist. If the area above the ceil- ing is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. Figure 21. Otherwise, install firestop below the framed hole. Figure 22
