1. A gable exhaust fan is intended to be mounted in a gable wall. If your existing gable vent is large
enough, mount the fan directly behind it. If the gable vent is not large enough, you may need to
enlarge the opening to accommodate a slightly larger louver or automatic shutter when needed.
2. Cut a piece of plywood to a size that will accommodate the attic framing that surrounds the vent
hole.
3. Cut the circle from the carton and position the cardboard template on the plywood so the finished
hole will be centered over the vent hole when the plywood is secured to the wall. Trace around the
template with a pencil.
4. Use a sabre saw to cut out the airway on the plywood for mounting the gable mount fan.
