• Attach the remote blower to roof or frame using screws appropriate for your installation. All four
holes in the back panel must be filled to prevent moisture that may get inside the remote blower
housing from leaking into the home.
• Seal all the shingles around the remote blower housing, flashing sheet, and mounting screw heads
or frame with roofing cement. The top and side flanges of the back plate may be covered with trim.
It is recommended that electrical connection be made and checked first. Do not block the vent grill
opening at the bottom of the trim. Doing so will decrease blower performance.
• Continue to the ‘Prepare for electrical connection’ section.
Option 3: Flat roof installation
• Locate the 11” (279 mm) diameter hole between rafters.
• Build a sloping base that will mount the remote blower at a minimum pitch of 2 1/2” (64 mm) see
Fig.13 for an example showing 5” (127 mm) pitch.
• Weatherproof the base as required.
• Locate the base so that the remote blower’s vent aligns with the 11” (279 mm) diameter hole and
the blower sits evenly on the base with no gaps.
Make sure that the discharge end of the remote blower faces away from the direction of prevailing
winds.
• Use dimensions from Fig.12 to locate the 1 1/4” (32 mm) diameter wiring hole.
• Continue from point 8 from the previous ‘sloped roof installation’ section.
