POSITIONING THE FAN HOUSING

 
Slide the fan housing into place so that its side is 

set against header C

 (Fig. 4.1). Positioning 

of the housing must allow sufficient room for wiring and duct work.

5

SECURING THE FAN HOUSING

 
Secure the housing to the adjacent ceiling joist and header using 6 x 1 1⁄2 inch screws.

6

CONNECTING THE DUCTWORK

Connect the duct to the adaptor and secure the junction with duct tape or a duct clamp. Slant 
the duct away from the fan to avoid condensation running back into the fan housing. For attic 
installations, we recommend the use of insulated ducts to reduce condensation.

IMPORTANT

•  Ductwork must comply with local building codes.
•   Ductwork from the fan should always vent to the outdoors through either an exterior wall or 

roof.

•   To maximize airflow, keep duct length and the use of elbows to a minimum.

7

FINISHED CEILING OPENING

 
The opening within the finished ceiling must reflect the shape (octagonal) and size of the fan 
housing including the flange. This is done to facilitate the removal of the fan should repairs or 
replacement be necessary.

8

GRILL INSTALLATION

Squeeze the 2 mounting 
springs and slide them into 
the two slots located on 
opposite sides of the fan 
housing.

Push the grill against the 
ceiling.
