edge of housing will be flush with finished ceiling.
Additional positioning feature for 5/8”, 1”, &
1-1/4” thick ceiling material:
Holes in corners of housing are labeled with various

bottom edge of joist is visible through a matched
set of holes. The housing is now in the proper
position for that ceiling material thickness.
Additional positioning feature for 1/2” thick
ceiling material:
Bend two tabs, on side of housing, 90
