CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION
Choose a location to install your QuietCool roof mounted fan that allows for balanced airflow throughout the
attic space. We always recommend the fan to be installed centrally located on the roof
three feet below the
ridge line
. This will allow you to access the fan very easily. Your roof mount fan should not be installed any
closer than
within 5 feet to an existing passive vent, ridge vent, or additional fan unit
.
IMPORTANT:
Do not cut through any rafters or structural members while cutting the fan hole.
Only cut out the roof decking.
