Step 4. Bend the mounting tabs (with holes) outwards on the Through-

Wall Shield (see Figure 2).

Step 5. Bend the locating tabs inward on the Through-Wall Shield (see

Figure 3).

Step 6. Position the Through-Wall Shield on the ﬁrestop spacer and

center it by placing the locating tabs to the edge of the circular

Step 7. While keeping the Through-Wall Shield centered on the ﬁrestop

spacer opening, drive a screw on each of the four (4) mounting

tabs of the Through-Wall Shield into the ﬁrestop spacer (refer

to Figure 3).
