VENT HOOD MOUNTING TEMPLATE FOR VP-2F & VP-3F

1. Use scissors to detach template.  Verify “Vent Hood Installation Clearances” on page 5 are adhered to.  Attach the Vent Hood 

Mounting Template to the interior of the wall the vent hood will be penetrating.

2. Verify that wall penetration will not come in contact with concealed wiring or plumbing.  Use VH1-3 template for the model VP-2F 

and VH1-4 template for the model VP-3F.  Using a 1/2” drill bit, drill two pilot holes where noted on the template.  The drill bit 
must be long enough to penetrate to the building exterior.

3. Attach the template to the building exterior aligning the pilot holes on the template with the pilot holes drilled in step 2.

4. Using a reciprocating saw, cut an opening through the building siding, wall board, etc., following the appropriate lines of the template.

5. Slide the Vent Hood through the opening and fasten to exterior wall using provided screws.

6. Once Power Venter is completely installed and secured, apply a bead of exterior rated caulk between Vent Hood flange and
