5: Determine the desired length of lit installation area and mark on wall. The total installation length cut will need to be 1 3/4" longer
than the desired lit installation area to account for the fixture end caps. (For example, a desired 48" lit area will require a
drywall cut of 49 3/4" inches)
. Mark this length on the wall using the junction box mounting plate and a level as a guide.

6: Cut out the marked area using a "Dremel Multi-Max" or a 6" Fixed Jab Saw.

7: Mark the location of the studs to the drywall for future reference.

NOTE: To install channel in a wall without standard-spaced studs, install perforated mounting straps every 32" behind drywall
and secure using two drywall screws. Mark the location of any mounting straps to the drywall.
