Locate unit above (GFCI-protected circuit required) 

or within 5 feet of the shower head.

Locate unit away from heating or cooling sources 

which can affect humidity levels.

Do not locate near window. Unit may respond to the 

outdoor humidity level.

Unit must be installed in ceiling to properly sense 

moisture.

proper sensing.

The fan will operate most efficiently when located 

where the shortest possible duct run and minimum 

number of elbows will be needed.
Use a roof cap or wall cap that has a built-in damper 

to reduce backdrafts.

Proper insulation around the fan to minimize building  

heat loss and gain. 3” circular duct is recommended 

for installation. 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 perfor-

mance, 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.

 

External timer can be used please contact Delta Breez

customer  service  and  consult  with  a licensed electri-

cian for compatibility.
