4.1 Ceiling Opening Dimensions

The fan housing measures 12.87" x 10.59" x 7.91". The light cover size is 13.1" x 13.1". The recommended ceiling opening is 11.39" x 10.42" x 9" square. Use the provided drywall cutout template for accurate sizing.

If the hole is too small, trace the housing onto the ceiling and then cut the ceiling with a keyhole saw. If the hole is too big, you'll need to patch the ceiling. The patched areas can be repaired with spackling compound later.
