Wall Switch Installation for Fan (Optional)

If the box is being wired to a wall mounted switch for use 

with a fan (See Figure 8.3):

•  The power supply for the appliance must be brought into 

a switch box.

•  The power can then be supplied from the switch box to 

the appliance using a minimum of 14-3 with ground wire.

•  At the switch box connect the black (hot) wire and red 

(switch leg) wire to the wall switch as shown.

•  At the appliance connect the black (hot), white (neutral) 

and green (ground) wires to the junction box as shown.

•  Add a 1/4 in. insulated female connector to the red (switch 

leg) wire, route it through the knockout in the face of the 

junction box, and connect to the top fan switch connector 

(1/4 in. male) as shown.
