Air Drafts In Wall Enclosure

Older homes may experience air flowing (drafts) from the inside wall cavity into or 

out of the wall enclosure depending on the draft situation. If this CONTROL is 

experiencing problems sensing condensation, sealing any enclosure openings is 

needed. The wall enclosure is easy to seal with standard painter’s caulking and a 

caulking gun. To begin you must disconnect all electrical power to the CONTROL 

before sealing the openings. Unscrew all box switches and pull them forward to 

allow access to the back of the enclosure. Apply caulking into all openings in the 

enclosure, even the very small ones. Seal every opening and around electrical 

wires at their entering point. Also seal the perimeter around the enclosure between 

the wall board and the enclosure. This will stop heat loss and allow this CONTROL 

to sense the room and not the drafts in the walls.

Wall enclosures vary in design; seal any openings found.

Frequently Asked Questions

(Fan)

Q: How do I clean my FAN?

A: It’s important to clean the SHIELD cover from time to time. Dust particles can 

build up on the SHIELD. See PAGE 19 for care and cleaning instructions.
Q: What is CFM?

A: CFM is a measurement of air movement (cubic feet per minute). The higher the

CFM, the more air movement.
Q: What is a sone?

A: Sone is the rating used to describe the sound level. The lower the sone the 

quieter the fan.  A sone is not a decibel. Fans around 1 sone or less are considered 

quiet while fans around 2 sones or more are considered loud.
Q: Can I install my bathroom ventilation FAN directly over a bathtub or shower?

A: Yes, but your FAN must be rated for over a shower/bath installation (all ReVent 

models are) and must be on a GFCI protected circuit. Consult a qualified licensed 

electrician about ground fault protected safety circuits.
Q: Do I have to vent my FAN to the outside?

A: Yes. All spot ventilation fans must be vented to the outside. Follow your local

code and consult it for advice. See PAGE 6 for national venting installation

suggestions and guidelines.
