ALL INSTALLATIONS

IMPORTANT

 - The ducting from this fan to the outside of the 

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 performance, 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 airflow.
