3-2 Installing Vertical Adapter (vertical adapter sold seperately)
A vertical wall adapter allows a damper box to be installed in the wall instead of the ceiling. A vertical adapter
is installed on the wall with the damper box mounted diagonally to the wall so the damper doors close
properly when the fan is turned off.
NOTE:
Measure the studs in your wall. If they are 16”
on center, you will need to follow steps 1 through 4
completely. If they are wider than 16” on center, you
will only need to follow steps 1 & 4.
NOTE:
The damper box MUST be installed with the
damper doors oriented vertically. If the damper box
is mounted on the wall with the damper doors horizontally, the damper doors will not
operate correctly.
1.
Note the T (TOP) side of the vertical adapter. Place the
vertical adapter with the T side up onto the damper box
with the side that has only two flanges, flush on the
damper box.
2.
If you have studs spaced at 16” on center, you will need
to remove certain flanges on the damper box and vertical
adapter. Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the two side
flanges on the vertical adapter.
(See Figure 1)
3.
Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the two side flanges on
the damper box. Make sure that you are removing the flanges
on the same side as the flanges you removed on the vertical
adapter.
(See Figure 2)
4.
Using the included black sharp screws, attach the vertical
adapter to the damper box by screwing them together
through the two remaining flanges.
(See Figure 3)
5.
The vertical adapter is now installed. Go back to step 8 on
page 10 and continue your installation.
