2.1 Installing AFG SLR model fans
NOTE:
The AFG SLR 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.
NOTE:
The mounting brackets for the AFG SLR model fans are on sliding rails.
Simply loosen the 8 nuts on the 4 mounting brackets to slide the bracket
into the proper position for your installation.
(as shown in Figure 2.1A)
The fan should be flush to the gable vent when installed.
Installing the
QuietCool AFG SLR
is very easy. To install the AFG SLR, simply mount the
gable fan to your gable vents as shown in the following steps:
Flush Mount:
The AFG SLR 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 2.1B)
.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG SLR must be
sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may hinder performance.
Fasten the fan to the vent frame studs. Once fastened, tighten the 8 mounting bracket nuts
to secure the fan flush to the gable vent.
Wide Mount:
The AFG SLR 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 2.1C, two additional boards must
be fastened to the boards framing the gable vent so the AFG SLR can be mounted securely.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG SLR must be
sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may hinder performance.
Fasten the fan to the vent frame studs. Once fastened, tighten the 8 mounting bracket nuts to
secure the fan flush to the gable vent.
Odd Mount:
The AFG SLR can also be mounted off center for an odd shaped louver
(as shown in Figure 2.1D)
.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG SLR 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.
Fasten the fan to the vent frame studs. Once fastened, tighten the 8 mounting bracket nuts to
secure the fan flush to the gable vent.
