Installation of
Brackets, Frames
and Grilles in New
Construction
Stage One: Before Drywall is Hung. Insulating the Wall Cavity.
If feasible, fill the wall cavity with insula- tion at this point.
Attach the wings to the bracket by snap- ping them into the sides of the bracket. The wings can be shortened by breaking them along the scored lines if their length will interfere with a corner or eaves. You can mount the bracket horizontally or ver- tically (See Figure 8).
Figure 8
Screw one side of the assembled bracket with wings to the stud using one of the supplied screws. Level the bracket. Screw the other side of the bracket to the stud. Two or three screws (depending upon the size of the model) on each side makes for a very secure installation. Attach the wire to the bracket at the indicated wire tie points (See Figure 9).
