Base Mounting with Base Vibration
Isolation
• The base isolators kit includes four (4) isolators,
four (4) brackets and required hardware.
• Remove the hanging brackets from each corner of
the MiniVent. These brackets are shipped mounted
from the factory. Replace with the base brackets
provided.
• Rotate the MiniVent 180 degrees, so the electrical
and fan component panel is accessible from the
top. The corners, where the brackets are fastened,
are now closest to the mounting surface.
• Assemble and mount the isolators as shown in the
figures below.
Note: The hanging and base mounting brackets are
fastened to the same unit corners.

Duct Connections
Examples of good and poor fan-to-duct connections
are shown below. Airflow out of the fan should be
directed straight or curve the same direction as the
fan wheel rotates. Poor duct installation will result in
low airflow, loud noise and excessive vibrations.
