Use the included alignment sticker on a preferred position. Drill holes on the wall and
install the junction box. If space behind the wall allows, you may also pass cables through
the wall. Note that an NPT pipe is still recommended if the connection goes through a
wall. Make sure water can not enter the drilled hole. Use silicon or caulk the drilled hole to
prevent water leakage. .
