2. Determine the desired amount of protrusion from the finished exterior wall, and then fasten the wall flashing
using 4 screws (supplied) (Fig. 2). See "mounting options" section for details.
note:
The exterior housing assembly MUST be pre-drilled
with a 1/8" drill bit before installing the wall flashing.
To avoid scratches, we recommend sliding the wall
flashing on from the back.
If surface-mounting your DHC™ Plus, this step is
not required (see "mounting options" section).
