Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the vertical vent
component and mark the ceiling to establish the center point of the

accommodate ceiling joists and/or obstructions.
Cut a 10 inch x 10 inch hole through the ceiling, using the center
point previously marked. Frame the hole with framing lumber
the same size as the ceiling joists. See Figure 49. If the area
above the ceiling is NOT an attic, position and secure the ceiling
