Be sure to remove any obstructing nails to allow

Slide the QBox flashing up underneath the
second course of shingles, so that the bottom
edge of the flashing does not overhang the front
edge of the shingle and the top edge extends up
under the third course of shingles.

exit, skip to step 6. Otherwise, mark the location
to drill the conduit pass-through with a lumber
crayon or other marking device.
Drill Conduit Hole: Remove QBox flashing and
drill 1" hole at location marked in Step 3. Use
either a spade bit or hole saw. Avoid all electrical
components on underside of deck in the attic.
Reinstall Flashing: Reinstall the QBox assembly
such that the conduit fitting in the center of the
box aligns with the hole you created in step 4.
