a. Connect the round ductwork (not included) to the damper/duct connector, and run the ductwork 

to a roof or wall cap (not included). 

b. Using tape (not included), secure all the ductwork connections so that they are air tight.

c. Insulated flexible duct is recommended for the quietest possible installation. If rigid duct is used, 

a short (1-3 feet) section of insulated flexible duct will ensure quiet operation.

The ducting from this fan to the outside of building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and 

energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and 

avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can 

reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve 

their rated air flow.
