INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
■
When cutting or drilling into the ceiling or wall, do not
damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
■
Check that all installation parts have been removed from the
shipping carton.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall exhaust.
3. Using 2 or more people, move the in-line blower motor
system to the mounting location.
Prepare for Mounting the In-line Blower System
The in-line blower system must be fastened to a secure structure
of the roof, ceiling, wall, floor, or new or existing frame
construction. The 4 holes on either the inlet (bottom) side or the
outlet (top) side of the blower must be used to mount the in-line
blower system to the structure.
NOTE: The mounting hole locations must span the studs.
Additional stud framing may be required. Plywood may be used
to span open areas between ceiling joists or roof rafters to aid
installation. This structure must be strong enough to support the
weight of the in-line blower system (50 lb [22.6 kg] min).
Prepare the In-line Blower System
1. Remove the 10 screws from the front cover of the in-line
blower motor housing and set them aside.
2. Remove the front cover of the in-line blower motor housing
and set it aside.
NOTE: To make the blower motor housing easier to mount, the
blower motor assembly can be removed. If you do not want to
remove the blower motor assembly, proceed to the “Installation
of the In-line Blower System” section.
3. Disconnect the motor electrical plug from the blower motor
assembly.
4. Remove the screws that secure the blower motor assembly
to the in-line blower housing and set them aside.
5. Pull the spring clip to release the blower motor assembly.
Remove the blower motor assembly from the housing and
place it on a covered surface.
Installation of the In-line Blower System
NOTE: The blower motor housing can be mounted using 4 holes
from either the outlet side or the inlet side of the blower.
Outlet Side:
Inlet Side:
1. Position the in-line blower motor housing in its mounting
location and mark the 4 mounting hole locations.
