When deciding on a location for the SkylightTube, it is important to:
a. Make sure you are locating the final position centered between two ceiling joists.
b. Before beginning the installation, make sure there are no obstructions in the attic space and on the roof where
you would like to install the the SkylightTube.
c. For flexible tube installations, tube length should not exceed 8 ft. If it does, you will need to use the
Rigid Tube Kit option to complete the install.
Step 1 - Location of the diffuser
Determine where you wish to install the SkylightTube (fig. 1)
and from inside the attic, center a nail or piece of wire between
the ceiling joists and continue it through the drywall so it is visible
from the ceiling below. (fig. 2) If using wire, put a 90 degree bend
in the wire so it won’t drop through. (fig. 3)
Alternately, you can drive a nail up into the ceiling where you
wish to locate the diffuser and find the location in the attic.
Then find the closest center between rafters.
