What size saw hole should I use to make the hole in the ceiling for this can?

I used a sheetrock hand saw to cut the hole. I cut it from the attic side so I could get the mounting right.

Not sure of hole size but there is a template in box. Just make sure you allow for terminals as they stick out a little on each side. You probably would want cut hole slightly bigger. They come 2 to a box.

It's 1/4" in diameter so you'll need a hole at least 5/16" in diameter but a little larger (say 3/8") would accommodate it a little easier.

I used a 1 1/2" hole saw. The bulkhead stayed leak free for over 6 months under the weight of 1 gallon of water. It could be tighter with a 1 15/32" bit, and it would be a very nice tight fit. The 1.5" hole saw left a tiny gap between bulkhead and edge, but never even noticed after I screwed the nut on tight.

Not sure about the hole diameter, but any Jerry NATO spout will fit the can.

Should be fine, hack saw. I expanded mine to fit a wider need using a metal rod inside the cannulation of the bottom part. Good luck, measure twice, cut once.

When I use a 2" hole saw, it seems to lack power, I have used a 9/16th's forstner drill bit and it worked well. I have worked with red oak.

The size of the hole effectively needed is larger than the unit. You need access to 2 ceiling joists so really it is a 16 inch by 16 inch square hole. The unit is smaller than this so you'll need to do some drywall repair.

Not trying to be funny but a 3 (1/2) inch hole saw should make a 3 (1/2) inch hole. Just for curiosity I measured the hole saw blade and this particular one measures 3 (7/16) inch outside and 3 (5/16) inner. Wall side for teeth is (1/16) inch thick. Suggest you look for a 3 inch hole saw and use oscillating sanding drum disk to get to the 3.06 needed.

I don't these are meant for can. I installed mine directly into a hole on the Sheetrock ceiling I've made.

Predrill hole 1/8 inch or 9/64 depends on screw that's in it. Then screw in

I would use 3/4" pan head wood screws #8 or #10. Also, pre-drill pilot holes in the cabinet with a small 3/32" drill bit.

My handyman used 6" cans. I used them to replace a light bar in my bathrooms. I didn't have any recessed lighting in there prior. He cut the holes ran the wires and put in the cans and they work perfect.

I also use plastic hangers, the diameter of the holes is 1 cm. It is fit of the hanger.

Didn't need to use a hole saw...not sure what size u need. It's just the factory opening on a 18 wheeler trailer. I bought some battle boxes for cherokee and they fit great. Very bright also

Im not exactly sure, but I used tapcons as well. I think I used 1/4" the hole will most likely take a 3/8" one though. I screwed into concrete block in my garage and they hold very well. I have a dewalt table saw (dw7xx) hanging from one and it wont budge.
