• The bottom of the discharge should be located at least 12 inches above grade.

FAN INSTALLATION
1. Determine the centerline exit point for the PVC discharge pipe based on the orientation of the surface that the mounting
bracket will be attached to, (See Diagrams A, B, & C). Dimensional diagram on page 2 can also be referenced.
2. Mark centerline and drill small pilot hole to outside to verify that the termination hood is favorably positioned on the
home’s exterior, (See Diagrams D & E).
3. Using a 4" hole saw drill through to exterior.
NOTE:
When hole saw reaches back of siding it may be preferable to finish
cut from outside, (See Diagram F).
