electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and
other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from

measuring guides to check if unit will be flush
with finished ceiling. Drive nails tight. For wide
joist centers: A #8 x 3/8 self-tapping screw can
be used to join extended brackets together and
create a rigid mount. To ensure a noise-free
mount, crimp the bracket channels tightly
around mounting brackets. (FIG. 8)
