WARNING: Risk of injury or property damage.
Template/cradle must be properly secured to support the
weight of the rain panel. Secure the cradle to the framing
using a minimum of six #8 x 1-1/2" long drywall screws.
If installing the rain panel to a finished ceiling, remove drywall
from the installation location.
IMPORTANT! The soldering template must be secured to structural
framing.

with the face of the ceiling joists.
Position the soldering template/cradle under the pressure
balancing loop(s), as illustrated. Attach the cradle to the support
