Part 2 Securing the Blower / Ventilator
Mounting Illustration Option 1
Follow all applicable codes when installing this unit.
1. Build and install wood supports to framing structure for blower
mounting.
2. Attach blower directly to wood supports.
The Remote Blower’s mounting brackets are designed for flexible
and easy installation at any angle-horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
The brackets should be bolted directly to a 2” x 4” type wood
framing structure (e.g., an attic truss) or suspended by threaded
rod, slotted angle-iron or hurricane strap. The installation should
be sufficient to support the blower’s weight.
Mounting Illustration Option 2
Follow all applicable codes when installing this unit.
1.
Equipment should be hung in position with temporary fixtures
that can be removed after vibration hangers* are installed.
2.
Optional
vibration hanger may be fastened directly to the
structure or somewhere between the suspended unit. Be sure
not to over tighten the neoprene element. Install hangers.
3.
If threaded rod is used, turn nuts on rod assembly clockwise
one complete turn on each hanger. Repeat this procedure
until temporary hangi
ng fixtures are loose and blower is
suspended completely on the vibration hangers.
4.
Remove temporary fixtures and level ducting and blower by
taking additional turns on the spring / top hanger rod nut as
required.
*IMPORTANT NOTE:
Hanger-type vibration isolators and suspension hardware (e.g., threaded rod, slotted angle
iron, hurricane strap) are not supplied with blower. If the blower is suspended with these items, they will absorb
much of the motor’s minor vibrations.
