Generated explanation

A cutaway exterior wall shows a light fixture installed through an exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS). The exposed layers illustrate the finish coat, base coat and reinforcing mesh, insulation, and wall backing. The base coat and reinforcing mesh wrap around the fixture penetration, and the electrical box is attached to the wall sheathing and/or studs. Closed cell backer rod and sealant surround the penetration, while the fixture is sealed to the EIFS finish coat. The illustration depicts proper attachment and sealing of a light fixture at an EIFS wall.
