2. INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING ATTIC GABLE FAN
NOTE:
The AFG model fans are designed to mount behind existing vents. If no vent exists, one must
be installed. Vent should be installed in the upper center section of the gable.
1. Installing the QuietCool AFG is very easy. To install the AFG, simply mount the gable fan to your gable
vents as shown in the following steps:
Flush Mount:
The AFG can be mounted flush to a rectangular type
louver by fastening through the mounting brackets to the frame of the
louver (as shown in Figure 2.1A).
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered
by the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which
may hinder performance.
This is the most conventional method of mounting the AFG. We
recommend using the Flush Mount option if possible for all applications.
Wide Mount:
The AFG can be mounted on a wide louver, but additional
mounting steps must be taken in order for the fan to work properly. As
shown in Figure 2.1B, two additional boards must be fastened to the
boards framing the gable vent so the AFG can be mounted securely.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by
the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may
hinder performance.
Odd Mount:
The AFG can also be mounted off center for an odd shaped
louver (as shown in Figure 2.1C).
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by
the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may
hinder performance.
While this is not the most ideal way to mount the gable fan, it is possible.
However, since the fan is not completely covering the vent, maximum
airflow will not be achieved.
NOTE:
The AFG can be mounted on many other types of louvers, including triangle vents,
round vents, half-round vents, etc. If the vent is smaller than the area of the fan, we recommend
constructing a chamber that surrounds the vent, and then mount the AFG to the chamber to ensure
maximum airflow and performance.
