NOTICE: Cut previously installed batt insulation to make
room for the attic insulation shield.
• Wrap shield around pipe if pipe is already installed in
area to be insulated.
• Match the three holes in each side and fasten with three
screws to form a tube.
• Bend three tabs on the bottom of the shield outward to
allow attachment to the ceiling restop.

the air space between the pipe and the shield. Set the

• Bend all tabs inward 90° around the top of the shield.
These tabs must be used to prevent blown insulation
from getting between the shield and vent pipe, and to
maintain air space clearance.
