Installation Instructions

Suitable sealing such as tar or similar material (not included) should be used to prevent leakage. To prepare for installation, determine the size and
type of ducting, if any, to be used. Make an opening in the roof just large enough to accommodate ducting and electrical supply.

Flat Base Mounting

1. Base may be mounted directly on deck beneath roof shingles or upper

edge of base plate may be slid underneath shingles.

2. Securely screw or bolt base plate to roof through the four corner

mounting points.

3. Through the opening, attach ductwork to fan inlet orifice by using

Fantech FC clamps or duct tape.

4. Refer to wiring diagram in this guide to complete electrical

connections.

5. Once secured and wired, generously apply tar or other sealant

around edges of base to prevent leakage. Be sure to replace any lifted
shingles.

Curb Mounting

1. Outside dimensions of flanged curb should be approximately 3/8"

smaller than the outside dimensions of base. Flanged curbs are
available from Fantech.
