Refer to Figure 3.
3. Through an adjacent opening, position the
mounting frame with the plaster flange
passing through the precut opening with
the notches on the bar hangers engaging
the T-bar.
4. Secure the bar hangers to the t-bar by wire
or wiretie (by others) or bending end of bar
hanger. Refer to Figure 4.
