We recommend using nuts and bolts to tighten the shell vent and white hose flange to have the best mounting experience. We do not recommend using the four longer screws the vent comes with when mounting the vent through thin walled structures. You may have to drill the mount holes on the shell vent back plate to the appropriate size. Put the bolts through the white hose flange, structure wall, and shell vent back plate and nut the back side of the bolts. For the best look, have the bolts come from the inside of your structure to the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the cover of the shell vent back onto the back plate and re-screw the two small screws into the interior tabs.
