Hollow Wall Drop

The installer drills a ¾” hole in the wall header.

Once the drilling is complete, a drop magnet is lowered into the wall cavity with a pull line or cable attached.

The distance the drop magnet is lowered into the wall may vary for different wall heights. However it is recommended that you keep the drop distance

minimal to reduce hang ups. A small bend in the cable may be applied to suspend the drop magnet. The installer should always leave an adequate loop

in the cable to accommodate the wall height. Multiple wall drops may be made prior to leaving the attic.

The installer will now use the retriever unit to locate the drop magnet suspended in the wall. Slowly move the retriever unit in a left to right motion down

the wall. When the retriever unit passes over the drop magnet it will become magnetically attached to the wall. This connection verifies the correct wall

cavity as well as the drop magnet location. The retriever unit will suspend itself on the wall once it is connected to the drop magnet.

After the drop magnet is located, the installer guid

es the retriever unit to the outlet location. For maximum pull strength, the retriever unit should always

be pulled, not pushed.

When the retriever unit is in the desired location, the installer may roll the retriever unit left to right in order to locate the wooden studs prior to cutting the

hole for the outlet.

When the installer is satisfied with the outlet location, a 1⅛” hole is drilled to retrieve the drop magnet. Once the hole is complete, the installer guides the

retriever unit to the hole and retrieves the drop magnet.

Hollow Wall Drop The installer drills a ¾” hole in the wall header. Once the drilling is complete, a drop magnet is lowered into the wall cavity with a pull line or cable attached. The distance the drop magnet is lowered into the wall may vary for different wall heights. However it is recommended that you keep the drop distance minimal to reduce hang ups. A small bend in the cable may be applied to suspend the drop magnet.

Insulated Wall Drop The installer drills an off center hole ¾ “ in diameter approximately one inch from the edge of the header. This will allow the leader drop magnet to be correctly placed in the insulation. When the hole is complete the leader portion of the leader drop magnet should be placed in the hole. When the leader makes contact with the insulation, apply slight pressure and rotate until it freely drops into the insulation.
PAGE 3
Jack Chain Wall Drop The installer drills a hole that is large enough to accommodate the desired jack chain size. For a #16 jack chain, this would be approximately 3/8” in diameter. Jack chain may be acquired from most hardware stores. The jack chain is then lowered to floor level inside the wall cavity with a pull line or cable attached. A small bend in the cable may be applied to suspend the jack chain. The installer should always leave an adequate loop in the cable to accommodate the wall height.

Steel Stud Wall Drop After removing the ceiling tiles, the installer locates the metal studs using the retriever unit. The retriever unit is a very effective way of locating metal studs for other applications as well. When the studs have been located, a hole is drilled. The hole should be centered between the studs just above the ceiling tile rail. A leader drop magnet is then lowered into the wall cavity with a pull line or cable attached.
