Cut and insert a section of
a coat hanger wire through
the hole. This will more
easily identify the hole
location in the attic.
tip:
To bring in the most light
available, always try to
position dome/flashing
so it views direct sun
throughout the day
without obstruction,
from trees, buildings, etc.

• Locate the wire and
adjust location to clear
any framing members by
at least 7 1/4” (204 mm).
Place wire through new
center point so that it
will be visible from above
after hole is cut in the
roof, and as center point
on face of ceiling below.
• Using a plumb line, find
a straight location from
the ceiling hole to the
roof location. Again,
clear any framing
members by at least
7 1/4” (204 mm).

Work to
avoid valleys, wires,
pipes, ducts, etc.
• Drive a nail up through
