INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE
STARTING INSTALLATION.
SECTION 1
Preparing the Exhaust Fan
1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the
exhaust fan you should have:
1 - Grill with Glass Light Lens
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
2 - #8 Screws
2 - Lockwashers
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air and sound performance, it
is recommended that the length of ducting and the number of elbows be kept to a
minimum, and that insulated hard ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will reduce noise
and airflow restrictions. This fan will require at least 6
"
of clearance in the ceiling or wall,
and will mount through drywall up to 3/4
"
thick. The fan can be mounted directly to the
joist using the mounting tabs on the sides of the housing or between 16” on center joists
using the 4 provided mounting rails.
SECTION 2
New Construction
1.
Mounting Rail Installation:
Install the rails on the housing and position the housing next
to the joist. Using the gauge on the fan’s housing, line up housing so that it will be flush
with the finished ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails with screws or nails (not included) to
the joists and slide the housing into the final position
(Figure 1)
.
2.
Mounting Tab Installation:
Using the gauge on the fan’s housing, line up housing so
that it will be flush with the finished ceiling. Position the fan so that the tabs rest flat
against the joist and secure with four nails or screws (not provided) to ensure proper
installation
(Figure 2)
.
SECTION 3
Existing Construction
1a.
Mounting Rail Installation:
Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline
onto the ceiling material
(Figure 3).
Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not
to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Install the rails on the housing and
position the housing in the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished ceiling.
Secure the ends of the rails to the joists with nails or screws (not provided)
(Figure 1).

1b.
Mounting Tab Installation:
Position housing against the joist and trace an outline of the
housing onto the ceiling material
(Figure 4).
Set housing aside and cut opening, being
careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Place housing next
to the joist and insure that it is flush with the finished ceiling. Secure with four nails or
screws (not provided) to ensure proper installation
(Figure 2).
SECTION 4
Ducting
CAUTION:
ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING CODES.
1. Connect the ducting to the fan’s duct collar
(Figure 5)
. Secure in place using tape or
screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap.
NOTE:
If damper detaches from unit, reattach by snapping the collar back onto the unit. It is
designed to only fit one way.
SECTION 5
Wiring
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE
STARTING INSTALLATION.
CAUTION:
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE
UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE
SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
NOTE:
This unit includes a side access panel for wiring that does not require the removal of the
fan’s blower assembly. If you choose to wire the unit from the inside, you will need to remove the
blower assembly and internal wiring compartment. Both methods are equally effective.
